Turns out my town (municipality) doesn’t accept people with A-levels for apprenticeships. Kinda stupid and puts a dampener on my plans but okay. It is what it is. Worrying about it won’t help.

What that seems very strange to me? they don’t think people with A-levels are qualified for apprenticeships or that somehow they are less desirable for them?

No finished “higher” education (A-levels, college, etc), only basic education allowed. Also under 18 years old and no other apprenticeship finished.
But in Germany they’re pushing for people older than 18 to get an apprenticeship and here they’ll do that too…next year, I think.


btw, got the first of the 2 PCs home today. Has an i5 in it, 2x 4GB RAM and one of them has a Zotac GT 210 1GB (don’t know what GPU the other one has).

oh so they are saying if you have higher education and over 18 you don’t deserve it and someone else would benefit more from it? kinda sucks that potentially have to wait a year for things to change.

Those are some pretty nice systems, have any plans for them yet?

Basically yes. Nevermind the fact that this particular apprenticeship only has ~80 graduates per year (in a country with ~9 million people.
Meanwhile people above 18 get put in courses that don’t mean shit on the job market cause companies prefer young people with a complete apprenticeship instead of a crappy course that’s only a few weeks long and barely covers the basics.

Besides spare parts for the PC in the livingroom, not really.

Except it really isn’t, though. The version of Creation running in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 is native DX10.1 running DX11 extended calls at the domain, raster, and assembly stages of the pipeline. Oblivion wouldn’t run on the new versions of Creation, it’s not the same engine anymore.

As a note Skyrim is also DX10 native and runs 10level9 extensions to support DX9 SM3.0 capable hardware. (Which is why Oblivion can be modded to run on DX8 hardware such as the GeForce4 Ti series, and Skyrim is nearly unplayable on anything older than GeForce 6000 series which was the first to support DX9c and full SM3.0 registers.)

thats progress, sleeping on the couch isn’t so bad either, better than bed bugs, was it still as bad as you thought or are they still mostly contained to your room?

You bet. Not too long ago there was a post on r/legaladvice made by a woman who suspected her doctor boyfriend to drug her on dates, as she would have holes in her memory and some red dots on her skin.
In the comments people were telling her to calm down and get checked out for bed bugs as long-time exposure can cause exactly what she described.

Last time this happened to me I told my sister to put the key under the bin because my mother really goes mad if we leave the door unlocked even though nothing will happen but she went out, locked all the doors and didn’t leave the key for anyone. its alright though because I got her back for this eventually when we were out and she left her key at home XD
