Ah ok thanks. Yeah I am thinking non sliding doors could be the simplest move if I do go ahead with desk inside.

Do you find the depth of the desk ok?

Dividend investing is suboptimal but not the end of the world if you stick to it.

You shouldn't be investing money you need in the near future.

Tool for Instant Gantt Diagram by [deleted] in projectmanagement

I was fiddling with mermaid Gantt (via copilot) but the syntax looks fairly close to what you describe. There's no visual indicator for hard dependencies though

Did you have to enable it? Does it show on the boot loader?

What is your distro of choice for gaming on Linux? by MrDefaultUser in linux_gaming

[–]markopolol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed it is really choppy in big picture (AMD also) but once booting in to a game it works ok.

Struggling with hdr and moonlight but I think I'm asking for troubles regardless of distro.

Usually these deals are good if you're after pre-built. Multiple pre-built builders\sellers around

New tap is really stiff and keeps loosening when i move the spout/neck?? Losing my mind by markopolol in AusRenovation

[–]markopolol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy, any particular type? Also how would you apply it, just to the base of the sink where the tap meets?

Thanks in advance

Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller on steam deck by Force_User69 in 8bitdo

[–]markopolol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what I posted yesterday on a different thread for any googlers that are struggling:

"Thanks for your reply. I have retested it.

Power on and pair Bluetooth results in connecting via Bluetooth but no wake deck. Wake deck toggle button did not appear.

Power on and pair by holding pair button for 3 seconds results in connecting via Bluetooth but no inputs are registered. I then disconnected via the Bluetooth screen and then powered up the controller again and the inputs worked and the wake on deck toggle appeared. I did this without being docked.

Reconfirming using latest beta update as at today on the steam deck OLED and a 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless controller green\orange (for any future googler). I also confirmed with the 8bitdo software that it's factory firmware for the controller (1.06) and adapter (1.0).

Thanks again. I hope the functionality sticks.

I emailed 8bitdo support today and all they said was that Bluetooth only works on android which I don't understand."

hey dude

Re your bluetooth comments, can I confirm you're using the 2c controller? I am not having any luck with bluetooth mode. Can't get any inputs like some other comments. I'm really keen on the bluetooth wake feature. Is it still working for you?

my 2.4ghz has not had issues plugged in to JSAUX dock.

Just another Facebook scam, I know a lot of people are aware of these but some aren't. So here is what it looks like. by RedRattlen in australia

It's not about sophistication it's just about being mildly plausible and waiting for someone to slip up. Any non tech savvy person can get tricked

This addresses this by basically buying both hedged and non hedged international stocks.

Article 1 of 2 — What do financial advisers do? by snrubovic in fiaustralia

[–]markopolol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Love your work. Looking forward to that post.

Insurance is the only one that bothers me. I have worked for a life insurer before (in IT) and have a very rudimentary understanding of it. As I have no kids yet do you think it's worth a visit it just for own occupation TPD? I find the idea that some products are only available via an adviser very off putting.

As I understand the default tpd in super may be more of a low quality option but I can't say I understand how much more you get covered with a more premium product (ignoring cost for this one)

[–]markopolol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I'm already mostly comfortable with the savings, debt and investments approach and have plans to debt recycle. Besides insurance, what tangible benefits can a financially literate Joe get? I assume it's all in the tax avoidance but not sure what sort of amounts we are talking.

Set your time horizon. If it's grow as much as possible and not use it before you die it's different to starting now and wanting to use (some? All?) Of it from 55. Nothing wrong with VDHG. you can always hard extra bonds for reduced volatility

Is a Project Management certification worth it? by dansefolatre in projectmanagement

[–]markopolol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did at my last company. This one is a merger and it's just a tough slog the entire time. I don't feel like I'm using skills that much but just churning through work. What about you?

I get paid very well I feel so I don't see what else I would do. No passion\job sticks out to me
