Some things that a foreigner should know about moving to Australia?
I've been doing research on moving to the other side of the world, but I thought that perhaps there was more that I should know that I can't find on paper. Any advice from natives or those who have moved there from somewhere else? I'll be attempting to get a school visa, if that's of any importance.
3 AnswersOther - Australia7 years agoIs it difficult to get a job while on disability in the US?
My family wants to put me on disability without my permission (I have a chronic illness that makes many things either extremely uncomfortable or impossible). I believe that it would make getting a job a near unattainable task, but as I have not been in the work force yet, I cannot say for certain. Any and all advice is welcome.
3 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment7 years agoThe grammar of British Sign Language?
I'm attempting to learn British Sign Language for a writing piece that I've done, but personally, I live in America. All of my friends who sign sign American sign language, and all I can find is information on American Sign Language. I've acquainted myself lightly with the grammatical structure of that, though it slightly eludes me (I'm working on it, naturally), but as I know there are vast differences between the two languages, I was wondering if all I've learned about American Sign Language grammar carries through to British Sign Language grammar?
1 AnswerLanguages7 years agoHow would a Deaf person tell another they are Deaf?
Presuming the Deaf person has been Deaf their whole life, and does not know how to speak the language of the other, and the other does not know how to speak their sign language, what signifies that they are Deaf? Would the other realize when the Deaf person is signing at them? I'm curious as to what happens if a Deaf person is pulled over on the road and an officer starts talking to them -- would they pull out a piece of identification showing that they are Deaf? Or, the same with just out on the street, and someone's yelling at them and they don't turn around (though they'd probably realize someone's yelling at them, I feel as if they're not oblivious to things like that). I'm very curious as to how they would signify to people who don't know how to sign that they can't hear. Is there some sort of universal signal?
3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture7 years agoDownloading problems with Xbox 360?
I got a free full game download for Tomb Raider with my Xbox. Just the code, nothing else. I entered in the code and as it was downloading my sister thought it would be funny to cancel the download. It was at 0% when she exited. Now I can't reenter the code because it's "already been used" and I can't find the game anywhere. How do I pull it up so I can continue downloading?
3 AnswersXbox7 years agoBunny care to ensure my baby bunny remains docile and friendly?
In short: I have a one-month old miniature holland lop bunny and I want to ensure she will remain docile and friend throughout her life. What is the best way to care or her?
Details:
I've had two bunnies in my past. My first one, a black dwarf, was bought at a fair, and due to probably never being handled in her life, despised me. She refused to be touched, or brushed, or loved. She merely wanted to run, and on attempts to be handled, she bit and scratched. We allowed her limited reign of the backyard, and she lived a relatively happy life until she died.
The second was actually my sister's, a boy who was a Rex-dwarf mix, and he was much the same with the biting and scratching, though we bought him at a pet store. We allowed him free reign of the patio, but he never wanted interaction of any sort.
I just purchased a female holland lop bunny from a breeder yesterday. She is gorgeous and has not once attempted to injure me in any way. She seems very docile and sweet.
However, I'm beginning to worry that we're doing something wrong. How much time out of their cage should we give them? How much room do bunnies require? And how do I ensure that she will always be friendly?
Really, what I'm looking for is just a way to make sure that she's happy with her life and environment, and she's content enough to be able to be handled.
Thank you for any and all suggestions!
2 AnswersOther - Pets7 years agoHow do I get my book published?
I have been writing since before I could read, and all I want to do is become a writer.
Self-publishing is good... but I'm sick of the limited span of readers and do not want to invest in something needlessly.
I've just finished a young adult novel that I'd love to get published. I think this book could go places.
How can I achieve this?
5 AnswersBooks & Authors7 years agoI need a free program that will save multiple screenshots at once?
To take a screenshot on one's computer, one needs to press CTRL + PrntScr, and afterwards they can paste such pictures into Paint or Microsoft Word.
I need a program that I can just continue pressing it over and over again and it saves it all to one place to be recovered, kind of like on cameras that setting where you can hold down the shutter and it takes multiple pictures, one right after the other.
Thanks!
1 AnswerSoftware8 years agoI ignored an "anon" on Tumblr--did I ignore their main as well?
I ignored an anon on Tumblr from a message they sent me on my side blog.
Is their main blog ignored as well, or just anon messages from them? I went to "Ignored Users" but nothing's there.
Also, are they 'blocked' from just my sideblog or my main blog as well? Thanks!

I love video games, and I want to get into more of them. I'm really into fictiony fantasy games, RPGs, and a few platforms. I'm not into shooting games, though. Is the newer Xbox worth it for me? I currently have a Wii, a PS2, and a super old Xbox. Also, can you suggest games I might like for my consoles?
8 AnswersVideo & Online Games8 years agoShould I stop eating?
For the past three months I've been super sick, and when I'm sick I kind of just eat. I've never had much of an appetite so I don't eat all too often. Despite, I'm fat. I'm a seventeen year old girl and I weigh a bit over 200 pounds (so I'm not just saying it). Today my mom picked on me for my weight and with everything I've been going through (dropping out of high school due to illness, depressing my family, losing my boyfriend, getting sicker, etc) I'm not in a place where I can handle it well. Though I eat very healthily and take dietary pills (and before I got sick I was in marching band which is a HUGE work out) I'm still fat and ugly. I'm not sure if this is my depression speaking or a revelation. Should I stop eating?

2 AnswersOther - Computers8 years agoFREE TO USE FOREVER screen recording device and a good video editor?
Screen recording device must also be able to capture the audio coming from whatever clip it is I'm recording
Must be fairly high-quality; maybe not the best, but not annoyingly pixelated
Both must be free to use forever: NOT DEMOS.
Thank you.
2 AnswersSoftware8 years agoDell Inspirion_5720 questions?
For Christmas I got a dell inspirion_5720 computer. So far, I don't hate it, as it operates much better than my old computer (an Acer, naturally). I did, however, crop up a few questions that my untechnological parents cannot answer.
I have the option to upgrade to Windows 8 for a fair price of $15. Should I? Would it make my computer run worse, or better? What about the documents and downloads I have so far? Would they be erased?
Next, I have a Targus mouse that I used on my other computer. While at first it worked, now it doesn't do anything, and occasionally a window will crop up saying that it "doesn't recognize the device" or something like that. Is there any way to fix this?
Only one more question. My keyboard is automatically set to the US-International version. However, I prefer the plain old US version. Though I keep clicking US at the bottom of my screen, it keeps reverting back after a number of minutes. Is there any way to save this so it no longer happens?
While the answer to all these questions is helpful, if you only know the answer to one, do not hesitate to post. Thank you!

All I want to do is make a music video. I have absolutely nothing, so anything you have helps.
ALSO, I'd like to be able to cut audio on it as well.
Anything that records video would be helpful. Currently I have one really bad editor that doesn't capture sound, so anything you have will help.
