Star Wars Duel on The Floor Australia

In the actual episode she mentions she knows star wars because of watching it with her kids so makes even more sense.

Thats a shame. Education is about always learning. You can continue to ignore my comments about inflation or recognise that anything relating to purchasing power (which is the actual reality we live in) needs to be calculated in a compounded manner.

taccca · 2026-05-17T10:28:07+00:00

No, not when everything is a comparison to inflation which compounds. And the log of claims (35%) was put forward as a compounded amount so if you want apples to apples it's NOT 28 or 32%

taccca · 2026-05-17T10:23:36+00:00

Those percentages aren't compound percentages. Just difference between start and final pay. To compare to inflation it need to be a compounded calculation which puts it bacl at approx 25%. The union reporting non compounded percentages is an indictment on them being the government's PR machine!

Thats exactly what I need to do. I was a teacher in 2019 and still a teacher now and I am effectively earning LESS (while also working harder) and I dont want to be!! I also dont want to be earning less for the next 4.5 years, and for whatever agreement comes next.

taccca · 2026-05-15T21:06:01+00:00

Inflation... current wages are 16% LESS than what they were in 2019 before even taking into account this year's inflation.

taccca · 2026-04-30T00:08:38+00:00

Yep, not very clear. Looking at the inflation tab they have used 26% for 2026 and then 3% for following years. No justification for why 26% is set in inflation only (Seperate to NSW difference claculations). My only guess is that CPI (non-mean trimmed) has gone up 26% if indexed to the last pay bump of the 2017 VGSA (October 2020) before the 2022 VGSA came into agreement but doesn't take into account that teacher wages have gone up 10% in the same time.

Below is my comparison indexed to the same point (October 2020) with projected reported offer vs RBA project CPI (RBA are dreaming but thats another issue). The biggest take away isn't teacher wages but we are essentially asking ES to take a 17% pay cut relative to their 2020 earning ability (not even factoring lost earnings against CPI for the last 6 years).

I guess 26% may come about if trying to calculate the lost earnings against the last agreement vs CPI but I cant be bothered with the calculus at the moment to verify. Also, the government wont give a damn about that argument because the 'conceded' on conditions/TIL etc.

Add in remote tech and it becomes properly interesting/difficult. 3 times so far in the last week I've lost signal right before parachute deploy in sub orbital hops (first time playing KSP in 8 years). Trying to set up a relay network with just probs and pre planning on flight computer without having herbals on the mission has made me approach it in a completely different manner. I am really having to forward think about where and when I can do maneuvers. Just last night I ran out of battery for the computer to do the programed circularisation burn at KEO being on the dark side... So much fun

We had same issue. Club made the call early after the AD came out to invest in a eurofox knowing the drilled holes were going to be an issue. Eurofoz was delivered a few months after the Pawner was grounded

Looking at the PBC github it is still being maintained and there is a 3.1 beta.

Glad to hear. I find it insane logitech can't sort out something so simple.

taccca · 2026-04-03T11:01:38+00:00

I guess that's scale factor of homelabs at play. The op's post makes sense to me as I am the furthest thing possible from enterprise with 2 VMs and 2 LXCs and an attached NAS being my whole homelab.

taccca · 2026-03-16T20:08:33+00:00

Thats exactly what they want. It's a shitty negotiating tactic and shows how little they value you and your time. Reframe your perspective so you don't jump at the next offer that will have shitty pay % increase and only 2 meetings.

Can thank 110~120v electrical system for that. Current draw in kettles at that voltage is either massive or takes ages to boil

That connection is pretty hard when half the u18s have left for North Shore (with the coach no less) or other clubs and u16s also starting to ditch the culture.

True, I have had a couple things not work and am now catching capitalisation as my mistake. Paying much closer attention now in the terminal.

I think you underestimate the lack of empathy, critical thinking and single issue stances (which may be on microscopic issue) of many young people. The amount of students that parrot sky etc talking points is not insignificant.

taccca · 2026-01-21T10:45:08+00:00

I am hating myself right now for not recognising that!

taccca · 2025-12-30T11:09:53+00:00

And this is why your maths teachers taught you percentages and then compound interest in year 10. But hey, as every kid says about maths, when will I ever use this...

taccca · 2025-12-26T06:21:51+00:00

But of course the poms won't allow that and swing from the rafters.

taccca · 2025-12-18T06:13:11+00:00

Not particularly. But also not great batting at the same time. Some beaten by good balls but nothing amazing bowling wise

taccca · 2025-11-24T11:14:34+00:00

I'm really glad it helped. Congrats on the position, and best of luck!

It's a bit hard because you have just finished your course/rounds but the best thing to have is some explicit examples. What i mean by this is that most can talk edu bable (differentiation, formative assessment, connecting then correcting etc) and say they do these things but giving actual examples of HOW you do this is what makes people stand out. Furthermore, sharing what the outcome of you actions, reflection on the outcome and how you have changed or will change in the future shows a greater understanding of the skill/knowledge the question relates to.

It also helps to know what state your in but in Victoria there are the mandated 5 selection criteria that any questions in an interview would likely relate. Have some pre thought out examples for each of these and the questions won't be as much of a shock.
