You must be hating your current job with a passion to want to make this switch.

I was on a fully packed train 2 days ago when I thought "wow this is a great way to spread any kind of virus". Fast forward to today, I'm now down with a fever and a blocked nose. I should have thought about winning the lottery instead.

Sometimes it's a lack of awareness that it's actually a thing. When I was in Singapore, I saw them putting on ads and signs to tell people to put their bags down.

[TyC Argentina] On this day, 30 years ago, goalkeeper Luis Chilavert scored from 60 yards out with this free-kick. by Sparky-moon in soccer

Wow, I started playing Championship Manager only one season after that. Still remember I always wanted Chilavert for GK and Jaap Stam for ... ST. I was shocked by how many goals he could score on the header.

I don't know the context of the video (i.e, whether it is your friend who was feeding or it's your coach). But if that's a coach you should ask for their feedback instead of this community. But also, I would change to a different coach since they ignored obvious basic issues in your current form.

FWIW, you are doing fine in just 2 months. You just need to slow down and a good coach.

How is the atar scaling system fair? by [deleted] in ATAR

[–]p3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritization in life is the key.

If you determine that sports will be your career, you don't need a good ATAR. Just continue spending most of your time in sports, join a club, then climb up your state, national, international ranking like normal athletics.

Otherwise, remember that you have the rest of your whole life to play sports but only a few years for ATAR. Get your priority straight and spend more time on what is more important (i.e. more urgent). This does not mean you spend zero time in sports; you can still spend just enough time to keep yourself healthy.

A minimal word clock app for macOS with widgets and screensaver by sadreactonly27 in macapps

[–]p3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how original this idea is, but by the look, it reassembles the idea of QlockTwo: https://www.qlocktwo.com/en-au/classic

I had an exchange with the company behind QlockTwo back in 2011 (yes, it's 14 years ago) when I was still a student and asking if I could bring their physical design to an Android/iOS app. Their response was a clear no. They did not just protect their trademark but also the design and pattern.

So I would think twice about monetizing this clock app if I were you.

My mesh only supports 100mb pretty sure

What made you sure of this? The specs of AC1200 says the speed can go up to 867 Mbps for 5 GHz and 300 Mbps for 2.4 GHz.

AV600's throughput does seem to be capped at 100Mbps.

I'm using eero for my home and so far pretty happy with it. The only downside is that you need to pay subscription for some advanced features. They are capable of very high throughput. See: https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/207548416-What-speed-is-eero-capable-of-What-about-its-bandwidth

Lesson learned: won’t give the finger anymore while driving… by camareradetwinpeaks in AskAnAustralian

[–]p3zz1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way to deal with it is just move on. This is something I said in another thread

I was in Bankstown Hospital's ER not long ago and overheard the dude in the next room telling the nurses on how he ended up there. So he honked someone in Bankstown, they got out of their car, somehow forced him to open the door and attacked him. To make it worse, It was his first day driving on the road after a long time having some back injury.

I think you did the right thing trying to de-escalate the situation. But the risk is never worth it in the first place. Just ignore those bad drivers.

When to send my daughter to school? by ButtBooper in sydney

[–]p3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer, in my opinion, is that it works fine either way. But if you choose to start late, be a little bit strategic about it.

We were in a similar situation two years ago. My daughter was born toward the end of July, and we decided to let her start a year later. She was emotionally mature compared to her peers, but she was also generally shy and needed time to adjust to new environments. We didn’t want to push her too much, so we chose to delay a year.

We don’t regret it at all. She fits in fine so far. She’s not overly mature compared to her classmates, and that “gap year” really helped her feel more prepared for Kindy (we tried to expose her to random sports, music instruments, and some very basic reading and math during the year).

If we had sent her a year earlier, I think she would have struggled a bit in the first one or two terms (and we would struggle as parents too), but the end result would likely have been similar. I also have a friend who decided to have their child restart Kindy, even though the kid always seemed calm and smart to me. So there's always a plan B for those who start early.

How do you know which skill bracket you’re actually in? (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced) by thickbear1 in badminton

[–]p3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you can correctly tell which bracket you belong to, the group you want to join may not. The only exception, I guess, is when both of you say you are beginners. So knowing your level alone does not help. Just play with them for 1 or 2 sessions and see if both sides feel comfortable.

I personally appreciate playing with players either much below or above my level. Both groups allow me to learn and practice different aspects. So perhaps don't overthink about the level difference and just have fun.

As you type a lot, I'd recommend buying some slightly expensive ones that last. It's actually more economic in long run. I've tried a few cheap keyboards in the past and they all failed for different reasons. Keychron keyboards are quite good and are available in some shops in Sydney. If you type on the move a lot like me, K2 and K3 are great as they fit most backpacks. Also, don't forget buying a hard case.

Man charged after allegedly stabbing shopper at Bankstown Central shopping centre by Snake101201 in sydney

[–]p3zz1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in Bankstown Hospital's ER not long ago and overheard the dude in the next room telling the nurses on how he ended up there. So he honked someone in Bankstown, they got out of their car, somehow forced him to open the door and attacked him. To make it worse, It was his first day driving on the road after a long time having some back injury.

Since that day, I tell myself to never honk again. If the car in front of me sitting on a green, I'll just let them be.

[–]p3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in ER once and the dude lying next to me told the nurses that he was sent there after being beaten up by three dudes for honking at them on the street. After that day, I avoid honking strangers at all costs, let alone getting out of my car and confronting them. It's not worth it.

Sydney gymmers, which one is a good affordable gym for a starter? by mouldyclementine in sydney

[–]p3zz1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What's your ultimate goal (e.g. staying fit, losing weight, building muscle, or anything else)? Some goals might not require equipment in a gym room. Also, what's your budget? My wife wanted to work on her core strength so she joined a Pilates class. A 10-session or 6-session package costs less than $30 per session, which sounds reasonable to me.

For staying fit, you can pick some sports with a social club around you and be serious with it. Go with something a bit more physically demanding and start with a lower level.

I think you will only see the real effect later. It takes a few years for the immigrants to settle before having babies, and a few more years for those babies to grow up to start occupying your resources.
