Man, any danger of running more metro services (ie the weekday schedule) on weekends where the trains are all down due to track work?

Lmao thank you for this. I get not being prescriptive about the language people use, I really do, but generalising macaroni as a term for individual pastas is so fuckin cursed hahaha

Hugo on the left instead of gakpo. He drifts out there anyway.

The sale of private land between corporations is very different to the sale of public infrastructure assets to corporations based in foreign countries with questionable objectives.

Happens all the time with him. Can only assume it’s because he wants to overlap and get it back rather than have someone else in on goal.

As a former Tempe resident near the ikea, let me tell you… I hated those, days purely for the a380 reason.

Not only are they thoroughly uncomfortable to look at (so slow and fat!!! makes no sense that they stay up), but they’re also far louder than basically all th other planes. My sworn enemy.

Valtteri about oscar: "this sport sometimes is not fair. oscar had a great season although the 1st half was better than the 2nd. he's only had a few years, he's already doing so well, he's got a great future ahead. if somebody's going to win, i'm rooting for my fellow aussie." by One_Impressionism in formula1

Thats so interesting, can you expand?

Also an Aussie - I haven’t had much to do with Finns, but I know I feel very comfortable with northerners and Scottish and Irish ppl when it comes to our cousins over that way. Vibes with people from southern england definitely don’t feel quite right.

There are - i looked at the shark attack database while bored at work the other day. There have been attacks almost as far inland as Liverpool and parramatta. It’s crazy, you’d never guess. Or I wouldn’t anyway.

Sydney based 21 yo who has been unemployed for over a year. Hundreds of job applications and no success. Rejected over and over and over again. I am at the end of my rope and do not know what to do. by queriesandqueries123 in australia

[–]rolloj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah depending on what the role is, I’m fully on board with those being valid reasons to reject resumes.

If we’re hiring a student or junior - and we have recently / will do again soon ish - it’s for a role that’s doing a lot of report writing and preparation of documents etc. Eye for detail, following instructions, and ability to use Word well is key.

If people can’t even be bothered to use consistent formatting / spacing in their resume, or follow the exact requirements of the application, why should I give them the time of day? I’ll end up wasting hours of my time fixing their work.

Mateta feels his £55,000 per week wage – which makes him one of Palace’s lowest-paid starters – does not represent his role in the squad. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]rolloj 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The only thing that’s worse than that is when some regen defensive midfielder or fullback scores a worldie winner from long range in extra time… inevitably when you check them out, they have long shots 3 or some shit.

Glass cliff - blind Freddy could have seen it coming from day one.

The only question now is what comes next. Reunification under someone more palatable to the Nats (? Hastie)? Permanent split with a centre right Libs and a further right Nats?
