Some jerk playing music on the bus

So some asshole is blasting music from his phone on the no 7 bus on Bathurst. What's the appropriate response to this?

Question about PAL and RPAL.

So I did a safety course for both licenses two years ago, passed well. They didn't automatically send in the application for the license as part of the course, they just told us how to do it, but said to us that there's no real urgency on it because you basically can't buy guns right now in Canada or transfer their ownership in any way.

I think that may just be true about handguns and not long guns but it's not really relevant here.

The point is I've decided I want to get that license, so I'm looking at the application online, and it says that if I have lived in other countries for more than 6 months within the past 5 years, I need to get a criminal record check from those other countries to make it clear I didn't get a record from those countries.

I did live in two different countries for over 6 months within the past 5 years, but I don't think I'll easily be able to get a criminal record check from the police in Cancun, Mexico from here. It might be impossible, and it's very likely to be a serious annoyance and a lot of paperwork.

So what if I just... don't disclose that? I just provide my criminal record check from Canada, and don't mention living abroad. What do you think of that as a workaround?

(To be transparent, I didn't do anything criminal down there. I was just working as a teacher. My visa status was grey, but I that's the worst thing I did there. No drugs, no nothing. Just fuckin... Catcher in The Rye and other high school favourites.)

New update has given me busy work

I doubt I'm alone here, but I really resent this update. The start menu has been completely redone, for some reason. It was bad before, now it seems to be worse. Windows 10 had a fine start menu. It was navigable, straight-forward and clear. I'm sure there are other features that have been altered for no particular reason, and in general, made worse. Perhaps this post will get removed as low-effort or as a rant, but I'd love to hear someone tell me what's good about the new start menu in particular, or really any features of the update that are positive.

The first item touted on the list of updates, that battery life will always be easy to see, was equal parts amusing and horrifying. That was easy to see on Windows laptops twenty years ago. It was easy to see 18 months ago, and 3 months ago. Am I to understand they have since made it very difficult to find battery life, and now they're bragging about how they've made it easy to find? It's like a child expecting praise for cleaning up all the milk they spilled. Am I missing something?

Edit: quite a few people are saying the new start menu is actually great. That's ok. I haven't seen any compelling reasons why, so I'll just say that some people think CBT is actually great. It's up to you to choose.

DQ3 creation

I'm trying to make some martial artists with the Vamp personality, or Lone Wolf would be ok too, but I can't get anything but crap from the companion creator.

What seeds should I use? What number tolerances are there? I looked at and it's useless. Your companions never have any lines whatsoever, this game is 100% strategy, getting the right stat-gains for class is incredibly important. So I'm stalled in actually playing until I can get this.

DQ 5 metal slime?

Hi. I'm trying to get a metal slime in my party. Playing DS version on an emulator on my phone (while teaveling. I own a DS and a copy of DQ5 for the DS but I didn't want to bring another device and charger if I didn't have to). I spent about 4 hours in fast forward farming near the mini medal castle. Made about 64000 gold and got 2 king slimes to join (I didn't release the first one so wow). I must have killed around 200 metal slimes but not one joined. I know I had a free spot available because I got those king slimes, dropped them off with Monty when I got them.

Is it possible to get metal slime in your lineup in the DS version? Gen 3.

Greggs: 40p to heat it up?

Canadian asking if this seems normal? It seems crazy to me. Is electricity really expensive? Is it a big ask for it the staff to heat my sandwich?

Does subway charge extra to toast your pizza sub?

I'm a bit baffled by this. I get a charge for public toilets, even though I think it's a bad idea. This is a touch crazy to me, up there with retail workers standing behind a counter asking for tips.

Red Dog Saloon Hot Wings Challenge

I just did this in London, SoHo location. It really fucked me up. I have a high spice tolerance compared to most people. I like ghost pepper sauce, I use habanero sauce on the daily. This challenge is to eat 6 breaded hot wings smothered in the house suicide sauce, the primary ingredient of which is capsicum oil. It tastes bad. Similar to The Final Answer. And you have to finish in under 10 minutes, no other food or drink, plus a 5 minute after burn period with no other food or drink.

The burn has faded from my mouth and the skin around my mouth but my stomach still hurts a lot. Just gut pain.

I don't recommend this at all.

Update: this is the only time I've thrown up from stomach pain caused by what can only loosely be called hot sauce.

Logistics officer question for recruiters

Hi all. I applied to this as one of my professions but got turned down. It's a popular profession because of its requirements. I want to be doing this career until I retire, so I don't want to choose a profession that I'm not going to like. So, I thought I'd do a course to increase my appeal to recruiters for this position, and apply again next year. I found this course. Can anyone tell me if this will help a lot? Help a little? Not make much of a difference? Thanks.

Update: I spoke to a recruiter this morning. He confirmed what I was told here, which is that extra certification could sort of help a little, but what I'm running up against is that LogO has a lot more applicants than it has positions. They probably didn't see my application before all the positions were filled.

Also, going from NCM to officer happens all the time and is not a big deal. If you don't get it, try again next year.

For anyone interested, I'm now in line for Aerospace Control Officer and Aeronautical Combat Systems Officer. Turns out they also just require a university degree of any kind.

Advice for pulled pork

I have about 7 lbs of lean pork tenderloin that I want to turn into pulled pork. I want to make it appetizing for my mother-in-law, who hates sugar and sweet flavours. I'm thinking I could take sugarless crushed tomatoes (canned), mix them with mashed skinned sweet potatoes, and use that as the sauce in which to submerge the pulled pork. (The pulled pork will get cooked with salt and pepper in closed foil for like 2 hours until very soft, I've done this several times). What do you think? I've done something like this before but with pumpkin instead of sweet potato, it turned out to be an amazingly rich and subtle sauce.

I have two bottles of Bbq sauce which I can just mix with the two cans of 1 litre crushed tomatoes and bam it's done. But I know she won't like that (even though I think that's what pulled pork is supposed to be).

Thanks!
