Wow that's weird. I'll check when I get home but I don't recall dying very often. I even got 100% on the original 2013 version. Tons of fun dicking around in the countryside, never felt fragile. The much improved checkpoint/spawn system made dying a lot less painful than in previous GTA games too.
Gamergate is sexist. If you're against Gamergate you're against a particular sexist movement.

Neither. Being anti-GG means you are against their views. Best to describe what you are actually against tbh.

They're still around. It's mostly just a matter of finding the ones near each safe house and then visiting them regularly, or (if you've got lots of money) just buying armour at Ammunation and using the vending machine while you're there.
Stay safe in Newcastle man, the family has been telling me it's pretty bad. It it's nowhere near as bad in the Sydney CBD, but it's definitely not good either! I fear having to walk through Hyde Park later today.
Agh, I hope the power comes back for you soon! Be safe.
EVERYONE IN THE REGIONS AFECTED BY THE SHIT WEATHER JUST BE SAFE OK trees are not a joke

Is anyone interested in a modestly used GTX 970 at some point this year?
Probably ~300 dingo dollars. Gigabyte G1 model. I'll be upgrading to the inevitable 1080 / 980ti whatever it ends up getting called and I'd rather not risk it on Ebay.

Yeah it would be great.
You need a lot of power to run 2560x1600 and double the VRAM would be great.

2 670s in SLI
and 1600p, not some 1440p scrub resolution
Ah I see. A single G1 970 is in the same ballpark as the 670 assuming you're in an application with good scaling. If it scales poorly the 970 beats it and if it doesn't scale at all then obviously the 970 destroys it. And extra V-ram over the 2gb model would be great, yeah.
Otherwise you'll need to find a second G1 970 somewhere

That would be the plan.
With both my 570 and 670 SLI setups I've bought 1 card and then a few months later the 2nd.
That's pretty gross. Newcastle has said they'll be a mass extension of all assessment, tests rescheduled. There has been alot of confusion here today for workers too. I read some friends stating that their bosses told them the weather was no excuse if you couldn't get to work. :/

You can pay me in steam keys for cbd
So after working my ass off at the same company for just over two years, at just above minimum wage I was offered a raise today
.The only caveat and this is a big one is that I'd have to work 1-9pm - which is a shift I can't do and work is well aware of this.
With my commute and lack of trains I'd only be getting home around 10.30-11pm, which means my girlfriend and I wouldn't see each other during the week even though we live in the same house.
I explained this to them and they decided to give the raise to a guy who started a month ago, still learning as he goes and was already working those hours anyway.
Now to make this even more fun I now have to train the new guy in my extra tasks so he knows what to do, even though he's getting more than I am and I just have to fit his training in whatever my schedule is for the day.
Is this the point where I move on and start looking for a new job?
I know in the end the joke is on me because I was the idiot that did all the extra work free of charge anyway
.
Before I started at this company I had such a hard time finding a job due to visa restrictions, and remember it being soul crushing. That and I don't even know what job I'd actually enjoy doing . I'm at the point where anything with a higher wage would be better. I've been thinking about forking over 300-500$ to see a career counsellor, have any of you got experience with this?
Sorry for the rant it's just been a shit day.
I think it's about 2$ an hour extra

I bought a The Witcher 3 steamkey months ago despite running a 460 sooooo yeah I'd be kinda interested. I'll keep my eyes out for a price drop on new cards though once AMD release their next GPU which will blow that Nvidia series out of the water

I have a ton of respect for ANZACs. This is the kind of shit we should be getting barraged with, not fucking merchandise and marketing campaigns.
This is the point where you start working, American style!
Half arse the fuck out of everything.
Your stock response to every is "eh" or "I dunno mate".
Minimum of 4 toilet breaks per day, no less than 9 minutes each.
Minimum of 4 tea/coffee breaks per day, always asking everyone within walking distance if they would like anything, as slowly as you can put up with.
ALWAYS TAKE YOUR LUNCH BREAKS
ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR DESK/OFFICE FOR YOUR LUNCH BREAKS
Weasel your way out of work where ever possible.
Big note other workers, that way you are working everyone's subconscious that those workers are the ones to run to when work needs to be done.
If you spend an hour on the phone, 8 times a day, you can make yourself seem like the busiest guy in the world.
Reply to emails from managers at home after dinner. Just one, no more. Just often enough so they think you put in the hard yards when required, rather than requested.
"Oh really? Sorry, I thought <insert employee not currently in today> said he/she was going to do it."

Put me in the line if no one above wants it, I'll definitely take it. One of my 660 ti's just died.
Yea I feel like this should really become my attitude now. I was a fool for working 7am-8pm and skipping lunch breaks etc.
It really annoyed me that I work with people who earn as much as I do but just read reddit all day long, but they've probably got the right idea. It just goes against my own work ethic. The company I worked for back home always rewarded hard work, which I guess is something I got used to.
My current workplace is such a joke that we had a guy not show up for a month,after that he'd call saying he'll be back to following day, never showed up and pulled the same shit every week for another 5 weeks. After what was nearly 2 and a half months of not showing up nor having any doc certs or whatever he was welcomed with open arms and everyone forgot about it.

Mediocrity is rewarded for the most part. Be just above mediocrity and you will thrive. Too far above though and you will be seen as something valuable to exploit. Worked well for me so far.
Every point is that point. Evaluating your value on the market should be a constant process. The best leverage for a pay rise is a resignation letter in hand and nothing to lose. Your resume should always be ready to go and you should be able to crap out application letters that specifically reference the job criteria like it aint no thang. Looking for a job shouldn't be a temporary mode you go into, but a constant process that you get better and more efficient at. Embrace rejection as another step in the process. Interview experience is gold.

Start looking for another job. Also stop doing unpaid work and take everything you are entitled to.
Question: did they actually give him a $2 raise, or is it a shift loading? It's about the same amount as a shift loading.
If it's not a loading, then start looking for new work.
Classes got cancelled for me today because of the weather. I'm sort of glad they did anyway, because I wasn't going to go in. Better than being marked absent!
Do it, man. You don't owe them shit.

Yeah it's a great controller. Honestly, everything about the xbo feels 'premium' down to the hdmi and usb cables. The biggest letdown being the power of the system itself.

i got it for my pc, my xbox 360 wired has a few buttons that are sticking (idk why) so i wanted a new one.
Nah it's actually 2$ extra on top of his shift loading.

My advice is know how much you are worth, keep your current job and keep looking for something else. You are so much more employable when you are already employed. But keep looking for something better!
It's so gooooooooooood. I should move further south because I love cold weather. It's hoody season!!
Stay safe NSW.
I feel like I'm one of few who is excited about another Destiny expansion. I only play once or twice a week now, just to do the weekly and play with my bro in law and nephew.

Never send out a template as a cover letter. May as well not bother. If you still want a template since it makes things a bit easier I'd suggest having a few paragraphs you can mix and match as the job requires, and always, always put something specific to that job in there (and more than changing company names, job title!).
Sort of. Use one of the online templates for formatting etc, but the key really is to directly address as many key points in the job ad as you can, so in that way they will all be a little different. Don't get lazy and send the same one out each time, but after you've done a few dozen you should get pretty quick at it. You can send the same resume out each time though, but nothing wrong with massaging that a little if you need to as well.
