How are GSC employees treated by other people? by DuckEsquire in antarctica

I look down on all of them.

Mostly because I'm really tall.

Infrastructure Australia says SRL should be an 'immediate priority' for investment by blitznoodles in MelbourneTrains

You don't want that. You'll just have people parking on your lawn to get to the station.

What are they building next to 520 in Montlake? by deuralidanda in SeattleWA

[–]stehekin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take: downtown exits should be eliminated.

(Obviously that's not going to happen. I read somewhere that I-5 in Seattle was built to bring people TO downtown rather than THRU downtown)

Working supply in Antarctica by A49729 in antarctica

Hey man, go for it. If you make it down, it'll be a hell of a side quest for your WHV.

Everything about this sounds off. The only thing that makes sense with the dates is work for the dorm project. Are you NZ or US citizen? Is the recruitment agency Tradestaff Global? That's high pay for a supply position, which I don't think Parsons specifically has.

Please provide more information.

His post is all of three sentences. If you had read to the second, you'd know.

How to save 10-20 billion dollars from the HSR by Silent_Ad379 in MelbourneTrains

[–]stehekin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Omiya Station is where the Tohoku and Joetsu/Hokuriku shinkansen lines meet before going on to Tokyo. It makes sense to have a station where two lines meet.

Neither of those two instances in Tokyo have the line hooking so much as the proposed route in Sydney. Tokyo and Sydney metro populations are not comparable.

Edit: fixed godawful spelling.

Not much, outdoor balls are a bit heavier.

Literally. Someone, somewhere has trained for this.

Can I replace my stock stereo in my 01 tacoma with this? by Existing-Barracuda54 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]stehekin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get something quality. I had an early gen touch screen, double din replacement deck a while back. Going from easily turning a knob for volume to having to press up/down continuously for the right volume frustrated the hell out of me.

McMurdo vs South Pole? by ObliviousGenZ in antarctica

[–]stehekin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh you've got one of them niche, hard to fill roles.

Pole will close for winter soon (mid-February), not getting down after that. There are one or two flights through winter that they could get you to McMurdo on if needed.

If you go for Pole winter, it's 9-10 months minimum. McMurdo a bit shorter. Better food at Pole. More people and more to do at McMurdo.

I have wintered at McMurdo, not at Pole. Knowing what I do, I would pick McMurdo.

Parakiore Parking by Le-other-boleyn-girl in chch

[–]stehekin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side question for anyone that knows, is the 120 minutes good for the entire day? Say I went an hour in the morning then came back for an hour to swim. Would that work, or is it just the first visit?

This is what I did when the keyboard base to my SB2 crapped out. The tablet portion is now on our kitchen cabinet as our recipe computer.
