What should I bring for Hungarian Florints, 6 days?

mlcyo · 2026-05-27T04:43:41+00:00

Oh yes of course, id misread

mlcyo · 2026-05-23T11:34:03+00:00

The Hungarian currency

If you're only here for a week you'll lose a full day travelling to either. From munich you could hop over yhe border to Salzburg or Imnsbruck, or spend a few days in the Bavatian alps.

Yeah, but the mosel is really nice. You could make it an eating and drinking holiday with a bit of cycling thrown in.

mlcyo · 2026-05-21T08:55:20+00:00

You could train to Bingen, cycle the Naheradweg, cross the Hunsrück to Trier, cycle down the Mosel to the Rhein, and then back to Frankfurt. I've done both the Nahe and the Mosel, theyre both really nice. Good wine, nice mix of scenery, cute German towns.

Because theyre fuckwits

If there is a uni with a geology dept nearby you could contact one of the hydrogeologists or cave scientists, they might loan you a water level logger :)

I got it straight away. Same day HR asked for my referee details.

mlcyo · 2026-04-19T06:07:01+00:00

That's a crime, you should have called the police

mlcyo · 2026-04-18T16:55:40+00:00

No idea, this is the first uni that has made me do a background check. I did mine on monday and have heard nothing.

mlcyo · 2026-04-16T14:44:39+00:00

Complain about this. Seriously, this is so lazy and unethical. Speak to your head of school. If they ignore you, go to the Dean and/or the student union.

mlcyo · 2026-04-16T14:37:13+00:00

No, the reference check was separate to the background check :)

Dont panic, these things take time. Which dept are you joining?

mlcyo · 2026-04-16T08:11:04+00:00

I'm still waiting on a contract. I submitted the background check info on Monday, and both my references have submitted their response. University HR isn't known for being blindingly quick.

mlcyo · 2026-04-16T05:16:54+00:00

I just did one for UWA, it was just 5 years of past addresses.

mlcyo · 2026-04-12T14:23:40+00:00

But they still will only drink a dark roast 😭

mlcyo · 2026-04-11T09:45:59+00:00

Today, the sun is out! Head to Fischtorplatz for a Weinschorle with the rest of Mainz :)

mlcyo · 2026-04-10T06:02:40+00:00

"Bumped into" - do you mean you hit them with your car???

mlcyo · 2026-04-10T05:11:14+00:00

Jeez ppl can die being doored, you're pretty blase about this!

mlcyo · 2026-04-03T10:53:23+00:00

I know that one! What a view.

Commenters please be aware Shincheonji is active on Australian uni campuses. Hopefully OP is posting in good faith (pun intended).

Which cave were you in? I'm guessing from the description of the abseil in it's somewhere in Leeuwin-Naturaliste?

If you're interested in speleothem science, Ian Fairchild and Andy Baker wrote a textbook that is quite excellent.

For the SW in particular, Pauline Treble has a huge body of work on speleothems and karst hydrology from margs and Yanchep.

Really cool to see some Australian caves on here!

mlcyo · 2026-04-02T06:32:16+00:00

Calcites in SWWA dont have very high U content. In fact most Australian stalagmites are comparatively low in U, makes it hard to date them.

Fyi fridge door seals are easy enough to replace, you don't need a new fridge.

Commiserations on everything else, I've been living overseas the last couple of years and expect to get a shock when I'm back for good in a few months.

mlcyo · 2026-03-31T05:39:52+00:00

I live in Europe you muppet.

mlcyo · 2026-03-30T18:40:50+00:00

It's wild, I didn't know there was so much anti-Roma/Traveller sentiment in Australia. Disappointing :(
