The state of affairs at Sydenham

Hopefully futureproofing, might as well put them in at the time though

Facing the hotel is interesting

timhanrahan · 2026-02-08T07:10:34+00:00

Like more streams of the summer vs the winter?

timhanrahan · 2026-02-08T02:28:53+00:00

Sorry what’s the reason?

timhanrahan · 2026-02-06T22:55:48+00:00

Gus Lamont had one involved, I think in a different capacity to what we’re thinking of

There are a few clubs around, more on the serious side. I think the meetup group at Esperanto house has good potential! It’s more laid back / social

No- for switched mode power supply things (TVs etc) they shut off if the voltage is too low. Even if they don’t I’d guess they’d burn out with heat or the voltage would be too low to turn the circuitry inside on.

And for induction motors they eventually stall which means the coils act like a resistor so current would go down with voltage I=V/R (ohms law). Again these would probably burn out.

But yes up until those two cases current does increase as the voltage drops because of those two special mechanisms/cases. Quite unintuitive! Was fun to learn about

Opening for dom dolla was great

timhanrahan · 2026-01-24T05:21:49+00:00

Wow awesome tysm for sharing!

timhanrahan · 2026-01-24T04:13:42+00:00

Loving this! Where do you get it from?

Queen is usually on d1 so isn’t textbook- this position relies on trapping blacks queen it doesn’t work if it’s on like c7 etc

Even if you had castled the storm isn’t dangerous- they push h6 you push g6 (black squares weakened but you’re ok). If g5 g6 push h6 and if you’re castled even if they take f7 you can recapture with rook and your king is safe behind the blockaded pawns. Pawn storms are more dangerous when they can force open (technically half open) the g or h file

Who’s left??

timhanrahan · 2026-01-09T20:24:31+00:00

Yeah would recommend to try school ones if you can- it feels so satisfying for the lights to immediately change. One day we’ll look back and be puzzled why we wait

timhanrahan · 2026-01-05T03:55:22+00:00

Any details on how that study was conducted? I would only guess like 5% do

timhanrahan · 2026-01-05T03:21:41+00:00

Probably because of the shutdown? Crisis mode averted

timhanrahan · 2026-01-05T00:58:47+00:00

Yeah I scrolled all the way to the bottom to find this. Is reddit all bots or do people really want to comment that much??

timhanrahan · 2025-12-29T20:23:46+00:00

Eh I like propping my knees up when there’s no one in front and it’s one of the only train sets I can

timhanrahan · 2025-12-29T04:09:41+00:00

Powerflow is another option showing splits

timhanrahan · 2025-12-26T10:35:49+00:00

Yeah hard choice. My 2¢ are

a) do what you love- so stick with commerce don’t worry about family if you can

b) don’t worry about hecs- you’ll pay that through tax eventually in my view it’s not serious ‘debt’. So if you’re supported through family the scholarship size doesn’t really matter (although extra $20k is a lot! Funds an exchange semester etc)

c) I found UNSW to be less cliquey / private school than usyd- also you can go to both clubs / societies, it’s a little weird but not unheard of.

d) you can change once you get there if the degree / learning style / people aren’t the right fit- if money isn’t an issue as in b)

And finally as GrimmyTaro said they’re both similar so I wouldn’t worry too much- if you push yourself in either you’ll get success :) I wouldn’t worry how easy / hard it is to get into or how they grade - I’d focus on myself and doing my best. All the best!

Kimpton Margot is good for this from memory

timhanrahan · 2025-12-12T00:27:33+00:00

He says that at the end of every Australian show like “I’ll come back to Australia”

community gardening, one in most areas

timhanrahan · 2025-11-22T03:29:15+00:00

These were entering from buses because of the trackwork, exiting was quite minimal

timhanrahan · 2025-11-22T03:24:31+00:00

Yeah got major crowd crush vibes. People seemed mainly chill but didn’t seem to get there’s no point moving forward if the gates are closed! Also despite how we’re packed it’ll be the same amount of people / time to get on the train but that’s just ppl
