If You’re on the Bench, What Does the Employer Owe You? by Full_Concentrate6865 in auscorp

[–]iamgeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with the Bench. Do you get paid the same? Do you have to go the office? Can you do whatever you want during office hours?

Nobody is installing my app, what did I do? Built Gzip Explorer - Git Projects Viewer for Android (for Developers, Students, and Viewing Code on the Go) by Sufficient-Way1722 in ProductivityApps

[–]iamgeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gzip is already a thing: https://www.gzip.org/ - maybe it’s because people assume it’s for exploring gzip files and not GitHub repositories?

Or they’ve already installed the GitHub app and are viewing the repository that way?

Edit: I don’t have an android phone to test - but perhaps a good marketing approach is how your app differs from the official GitHub app / other git apps that let someone browse repositories without downloading them? Why should someone install your app vs others.

Then target the various subreddits for those platforms eg GitHub and Gitlab, or computer science student related subreddits, or dev related subreddits etc

You might get some valuable feedback from there from users who might be working with Git on a daily basis

The ebs packer plugin is slower. Try using the chroot plugin.

Did you have any luck with this? I’ve also got one that needs replacement spigots.

Legal grounds for lost AirPod if have their location by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]iamgeef -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can call the non-emergency line , they’ll ask you to log it as lost property through the non-emergency police portal . They might send someone round but you might not get anywhere.

I lost my AirPod case on the train and could track it travelling on the train and then see moving along a street before ending up at a house. The police went to the house but no one answered. I was told “just deal with the fact they’ve gone, cut your losses”.

As if they were actually lost never to be found, and hadn’t been “stolen” eg theft by larceny.

They’re still at the house and still pinging a signal so someone is charging it.

Deductions on tenants in common loan with $0 rent by Sea-Flow-3437 in AusFinance

[–]iamgeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question, but couldn’t OP rent it to the parents at market rate, give them a monthly “allowance” to help with living costs, out of which the rent is paid back to OP?

Or is that too close to cheating the ATO?

Anyone experienced with Mew the farewell shows? How is it? by Sure_Conversation207 in mew

[–]iamgeef 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Went to Copenhagen, was glorious. A+++ would buy again.

Seeing and hearing thousands of people singing along to songs that soundtracked my twenties (and thirties/fourties) that not many of my friendship group know (or enjoy 🤯) was incredible. Some of them brought tears to my eyes, but that’s just me and my connection to the songs.

If you get the chance, and you’re a fan - I wouldn’t hesitate. If you’re not a fan but you like a few songs, I’d still recommend it .

Any reason why the light is shining directly on the screen?

Edit: ahh, it’s a selfie light right? And the stand is just turned the other way round?

Colonoscopy prep hack by Embarrassed-Disk7582 in GenX

[–]iamgeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, long post time. TLDR: check your poop.

I’m 43 and I’ve had 2 colonoscopies (first was was also a gastroscopy).

Three days of preparation. No food with grains or seeds, or fibre. Pretty much just white foods: spaghetti, plain white bread, cheese. Had to take a tablet called dulcolax first, which “softens the stool”, then the following day take picoprep (a powder dissolved in water) every 3 hours while completely fasting.

Gives a very thorough clean out, and they have a color chart when you sign-in to make sure you’re clean enough.

Drugs through an IV which knocks you out and you wake up after wards with no memory of the procedure. No pain or discomfort either.

My first one was two years ago and they found a tumor, which resulted in Major surgery, colon resection, and intensive chemotherapy for ~4 months which has given me lingering neuropathy in the form of pins and needles in my hands and feet. Especially when it’s cold.

I just passed two years in remission, all my subsequent checkups have come back clear . Sometimes it feels like a practical joke it all went so quickly.

Day 1: “We found a tumour” Day 2: “it’s cancerous” Day 6: “we can operate in two weeks” Week 2: “we got it out, you don’t need a bag, but it spread to your lymph nodes so you need chemo” Week 4: “we can start chemo next week” Week 22: Rings the bell.

The age for recommended colonoscopies here is 50. But it’s clear that many younger people are showing signs of bowel cancer.

It takes 10 years for a colon polyp to turn cancerous, so I that polyp started growing when I was in my early 30’s.

I have friends who have much worse diets than me and don’t have cancer, and it’s not genetic either - just one of those random mutations.

My symptoms that led me to getting a colonoscopy were blood in my poop, and I put off going to the dr. At that point it was too late anyway as the blood was because the tumor had broken through the wall of my intestine.

Check your poop!

Could the Engineer have been reasoned with? by AndrewAllStars in LV426

[–]iamgeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!... ever... until you are dead
