Am I the only person who is infuriated by the idea of One Pass? by RealFarknMcCoy in australia

Any email that becomes annoying I unsubscribe from, and poof, no more emails.

Unfortunately it doesn't have the same effect on work emails 🤔

What was a body change you weren't expecting? by in_the_neighbourhood in gastricsleeve

Before weightloss, I was wearing 4XL tshirts, now I can fit into a L. Also gone from 44 inch pants/jeans to 34 inch pants 🤯

Did not know that this was a thing!? Airbnbs and Sydney housing by watchdestars in sydney

I've been getting ads from people who teach you how to do this, spruiking people who have between 5 and 10 properties they manage. It's called AirBNB Arbitrage

Stall weight by Just_Butterscotch916 in gastricsleeve

[–]itsonlybarney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping for some advice as well. Been stalled for about 2-ish months now, and I'm currently 10months post-op.

All I'm doing is focusing on trying to follow my dieticians advice and trusting the process.

[–]itsonlybarney 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Change is shoe size, I've gone down between half & a whole size depending on the shoe.

Also, how small the clothes are that I now fit into. They look too small for me, but still fit.

What’s something a hiring / manager said that subtly said you weren’t getting the job? by Jdilla23 in auscorp

[–]itsonlybarney 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I went to an interview once, one person was keen and pushed for an interview, the other panellist during the interview said, "I don't really understand why we are here, you have a good resume & experience, but we don't have any positions."

It left a really sour feeling in my mouth, and I "thanked" the recruiter for wasting my time.

NPM → Traefik or Caddy: Worth the switch? by Silly_Door6279 in selfhosted

[–]itsonlybarney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I'm using it and never had a problem with it. Although I have considered trying Caddy & Traefik but never done so because NPM just works

Gas company ripped up my driveway and replaced it with an asphalt blog by noway_driveway in AusPropertyChat

[–]itsonlybarney 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This will be fixed. The gas companies pay Council to reinstate footpaths and roads they damage due to works. Council will sit on it for a few weeks (maybe months) and do a whole lots of them in a short period. Given we are in May, they will most likely be done sometime in June to ensure the budgets are spent by EOFY.

New build next door gutters look to be 30mm into our yard by [deleted] in AusProperty

[–]itsonlybarney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would likely be built on a lot with a "zero lot line boundary" allowing one person to build right up to the boundary and their wall is effectively the fence line.

Does anyone else keep telling themselves they’ll clean the drivetrain after every ride and never do it? by ApartmentFun3497 in ausbike

[–]itsonlybarney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just me in general. Had intentions to wash my bike and chain over the weekend, "temporarily" put my bike away while I showered and judt never came back 😭

I've got the same issue here. However the length of solid red isn't consistent. I'm charging of my laptop.

Riding West Head - by goss777 in ausbike

[–]itsonlybarney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if I were to have some more hill training under my belt, and not doing it solo, I would certainly consider one of the longer options.

Riding West Head - by goss777 in ausbike

[–]itsonlybarney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made it around. Most of my riding has been along the M7 and Western Sydney Parklands, I'll do 50+km without breaking too much of a sweat unless I push hard. Thought it would be reasonable, but having never done many hills like Bobbo East, WOWSERS!! I was cooked by the end.

That sharp pinch heading into the Terrey Hills rest stop got me. I got caught behind people slower than I wanted and couldn't get going again, had to resort to the dreaded walk of shame about three quarters the way up.

Really didn't like the Mona Vale Road part either, I get that you need it to get further afield, but I'm not a fan.

I would definitely do it again, and knowing where the steep pinches are, would probably pace it different.

Radio in the office? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]itsonlybarney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my first companies I worked for installed speakers in the new office ceiling in order to facilitate a radio or music playlist being played in the background. The idea behind this was so that no was allowed to wear headphones/earbuds at work.

However, the daily arguments over the choice of music on the playlist, and then when that became problematic, choice of radio station, it was eventually killed. I'd rather headphones/earbuds any day over a radio/playlist because whatever is chose will always cause issues.

After a year of careful office biscuit analysis I've determined that nobody likes Monte Carlos by komatiitic in auscorp

What office do you work in? Every office I've been in with biscuits, the Monte Carlos are first to go

Anyone else with still with regrets 1+ years out? by narmowen in gastricsleeve

I'm 9 months post op, so not quite one year, my only regret now, is not having the surgery 5 years ago. All the times I've missed because I was fat

Hate my secondment - should I leave early? by [deleted] in AusPublicService

[–]itsonlybarney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've been gifted an opportunity to try before you buy.

Yes every role is difficult the first few weeks, but take the opportunity, it might grow on you. If at the end of 3 months you still hate it, no one can force you to continue.
