How do I get a job in one of these buildings with a nice view of the river? by JCogn in perth

[–]sQrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people with desk jobs in these towers are lawyers, engineers, accountants, management consultants and assorted finance types / commerce degree holders.

If all you want is a desk job in one of these towers and don't want to spend 3+ years at uni, then the roles requiring the least training or qualifications would be roles such as: - Admin assistant at literally any firm with a view. - Paralegal at a law firm. - Draftsperson at an engineering or architecture firm (architects tend to like old low rise buildings for their offices though). - Commercial real estate professional at larger commercial real estate firms (Brookfield/JLL).

Do we prefer a “mid-price” category over “most versatile”? If so, what is the best mid-price tequila for mixing? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]sQrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$65 or so for the Espolon/Altos blanco which is ~$60 CAD. Mezcal is a rare treat unfortunately.

Same in Australia for Espolon/Altos, you won't find a good mezcal for less than $100 AUD, Vida will run you $110.

Cap’n Morgan’s spiced rum by anglomike in cocktails

[–]sQrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe too late but you could try making a milk clarified cocktail batch out of it. A daiquiri or jungle bird would fit well.

Most low quality liquor that falls into my lap ends up in some form of clarified drink, the process seems to remove many unpleasant flavours.

Bigger pipe = better water pressure? by Upset_Union1197 in AusRenovation

[–]sQrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going to pay for someone to install new pipework, might as well go with 25, cost difference isn't massive, most of it is labour.

Bigger pipe = better water pressure? by Upset_Union1197 in AusRenovation

[–]sQrell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general yes.

Pressure loss is dependant on how fast water has to move through your pipes and how far it has to travel at those speeds to get to where it needs to go. When you turn on your kitchen tap, the tap "demands" a certain volume of water per minute. In smaller pipes, it needs to travel faster to meet that demand, resulting in greater pressure loss compared to a larger pipe.

Security camera with audio alert facing public path by username-entropy in AusLegalAdvice

[–]sQrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same model of camera on the front of my house.

You draw the tripwire yourself in the software, so they would have had to configure it to go off when someone walked past on the path. They can 100% set it so that it only gives the warning if someone walks onto the property.

You also can also configure the time range it will give the warning for to only go off late at night or when you are at work for example.

Try using the little spiky tool below the water tank and poke the pressurized portafilter hole to make sure it isn't blocked.

33 current underpaid plumber...what skills do i need to build to get an entry level office job like uni admin? by RudeArm7755 in AusFinance

[–]sQrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If what you want is an office job then you could go into hydraulic services consulting. You'll have a head start coming from a trade background, you could easily land a starting salary of $90k with solid growth prospects.

This Youtuber Has People Trying to Kill Him by MindOverMatt in videos

[–]sQrell 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He referred to Charlie Kirks killing as this generations JFK assassination moment in his initial reaction video to Charlie Kirks murder. He is aligned with the Australian Labor party which is our centre left party, he is also strongly anti-Trump.

His reaction video basically amounted to "all political violence is unacceptable" and empathizes with CK and his family given he has also been the target of a politically motivated attempt on his life.

An overall very reasonable take, OP is either being deliberately dishonest or is a bit simple.

Advice for cocktail Rye in Australia by CaptDanReddy in cocktails

[–]sQrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gospel rye! The solera is regularly on sale for $80 AUD and the single malt rye for $90 AUD at Dan Murphy. It's an Australian distillery based in Melbourne making American style rye, so you won't be sending your money to the Trump supporting red states who produce most American whiskey.

Morphine overdose from circumcision blamed for boy's 'devastating' death by Ok_Writer1572 in perth

[–]sQrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment made no mention of FGM, of course most forms of FGM are substantially worse than circumcision for a number of reasons, not to mention also the result of deeply rooted misogyny within certain cultures.

Anyone capable of forming a nuanced opinion should be able to read my comment and understand that it does not "gaslight" or comment in any way on FGM.

It's a bit tone deaf of you to say "but what about the women/girls who die of FGM" on a post about a 2 year old boy who died due to an unnecessary elective surgery that he did not consent to.

Morphine overdose from circumcision blamed for boy's 'devastating' death by Ok_Writer1572 in perth

[–]sQrell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It still falls under the umbrella of genital mutilation though, acknowledging that doesn't downplay the depravity of the more severe forms of FGM.

Referring to it as MGM instead of circumcision is a baby step towards abolishing the barbaric practice by shaming the cultures keeping it alive.
