I don't want standard goddamit! I want $1K to NYC :BOOHOO: You can has. You just have to fly in May. The price wars have only ever brought the non-peak flights down. Over Christmas, AU - US flights have still been up around $3k. Why I always visit in winter, let me show you. (Well, that, and the 3 ...

a few months ago a flight to the states was only about $1K They vary wildly these days. Depending when you travel, prices can hike by $2k :tard:. Qantas has a <$1k sale going to promote their new Dallas route - travel in May, I think? Not really doing much of a job of promoting DFW, though, since L...

The BOM map includes the category along the path. It was definitely Cat 5 shortly before hitting land. There is absolutely no way to fully predict any weather event, let alone something this massive. It's all based on mathematical models, which work on probabilities and are never absolute (apparentl...

Ugh, every year, I forget how distracting it is waiting to hear back about jobs. Unfortunately, there's no set dates, so I could hear any time between now and June :tard:. It makes things a bit difficult to plan - I'd kinda like to know where I'll be moving! More gripes: * From 24ºC yesterday, we ar...

10pt can be too small, depending on font - IMHO less is more with applications and general writing IMO. shows ability to distill message and get point across.

Wow, Ely, that's amazing news!

Tell me fixed gear hasn't been an emerging trend for the past 5-years or so in Melbourne? Just so y'alls know, there's nothing Melbourne about it. Can has in every North American city I've been to (lots!) and no doubt there's the odd gabillionty-seven in Europe. There are hipsters on fixies in Stil...

retzie

Farken... There is clearly a fixie trend happening at the moment, but I don't think everyone who rides fixed should be tarred with the same brush. There are many people who always have, and always will, ride fixed because it suits their needs/allows them to commune with their bike/they are a bike me...

Whereabouts? I wouldn't fret about the double major thing - they only really say no if it won't work logistically. $10 says you'll choose one over the other once you get into it anyway.

Good on you Dan, Bo and Alex. I think it is important to do what you can to help. It is a shame that the benefit gigs are not always very lucrative, but they do raise awareness and show those who are affected that people do actually care enough to put some effort in. Even if it doesn't offer massive...

aroes - that is what im asking you guys hehehe - does it? Nein. And a sig to that effect would just annoy me more tbh. (I think that's what the 'sent from my iPhone' one secretly means anyway.)

A question for the photo peeps: I am getting a reprint of a photo from the NY Times. My options are that they do the print (museum quality) with or without frame, or I can get it done on canvas/other by a third party. Obviously their print will be the schmicker option, but I kinda don't want it to b...

Hmm, you gotta hit the ground running, I think. It is really easy to get home and fall into the same old shit. You have momentum now - use it to make the changes that need to happen. Cut the useless shit out of your life and go after the things that always seemed out of reach/that little bit too har...
