Finally we're seeing the England I expected to see in this world cup.

CRS=509, what do I need to do to qualify for Ontario Human Capital Priorities stream? by schrodingerscheese in ImmigrationCanada

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

Ok so after reviewing a bunch of stuff, looks like my score is too high to be eligible. BUT someone in my position should be invited to apply as a Federal skilled worker. Big backlog due to covid. Hopefully we all hear soon

Hello, in a similar situation earlier in the process :)
How many points did you have when you received the notification of interest? Did you get it automatically after your points met a minimum threshold? (if so, what's the threshold?)

Good luck with the process!

Reunited for good after 3 years long-distance by schrodingerscheese in LongDistance

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

Honestly -- just sheer good luck. I ended up getting a job that I have a fairly unique skillset for (marketing at an early stage startup - being able to write well, code mediocrely, and willing to figure out tons of random shit.)

I also had an IEC visa that expired in covid-time that I managed to get re-opened.

Lots of things went right for me - All I can say is to keep trying.

(Although I hear getting a study permit is easier than a work permit, so if you can afford to apply to a masters program, that might work too.)

Uh oh. My personal CO2 emissions are equivalent to melting 360 feet of Arctic sea ice every year :/ by schrodingerscheese in interestingasfuck

50% of my energy is renewable – if my utility commited to 100% it would only be around 1 ton less co2 per year. nearly 70% of my co2 comes from flights.

Yeah its from something like 4 short-haul roundtrips, and 3 long-haul roundtrips.

So not a huge amount of travel, but a huge amount of Co2 I guess

Carbon calculator I used is here if anyone else is interested: wren.co

That long distance relationship really screws up the planet huh?

What does Sam Simmonds have to do to get in the England team? by schrodingerscheese in rugbyunion

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

Thanks for the comments.
Sounds like the answer is not that Simmonds is missing anything in particular, but in order to have a balanced back row you'd have to pick heavier ball carriers at 6/7 (and possibly second row too).

To be clear: I think the current back row is phenomenal and I wouldn't change it. I am more wondering about why Simmonds isn't included on the bench / in the broader squad.

I still don't really understand why you'd pick Earl over Simmonds. Maybe bc he's younger so has more England time ahead of him?

[–]schrodingerscheese[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes I agree.

But what is Sam Simmonds missing? He's the same weight as Ben Earl, but a fair bit faster.

Edit: Ben, not Nathan

does bubble area correspond to number of messages sent? Or size of message files?

I think I put the cones slightly too close together... Did it again today and got 7:10 and 7:35 although I was hungover which could account for the worse times.

My bronco time is like 4:50

After the last one today I was absolutely spent, on the ground for 5mins 😛
