The object of this year's expedition is to see if we can find any trace of last year's expedition.

The video highlights guy (or gal) is not going to be happy, but this bowling effort from from the 11th over onwards has been one, as they say, for the ages.

Only 3 overs from 32 (so far) have gone for more than 6 runs. Completely throttled the dangerous batting attack. Wonderfully disciplined line and length under extreme pressure.

How can anyone ever use for anything serious? It's a complete failure of a piece of software.

Given his name, Sean Abbott is surprisingly hairy. And irreligious.

@liebcricket I'm just glad the same nominative non-determinism applies to Cummins.

When one of your Whatsapp groups goes completely sideways and descends into chaos, the key is to 1. mute notifications on the group and 2. (this bit is key) resist the urge at all costs to dip back into the group to see how it's going.

I saw a discussion today about taxing churches in this country. We'd also have to tax synagogues, but are we certain we want to go down that rabbi toll?

I don't know why I still insist on paying with cash, but it's not fear of change.

It's possible that I don't need to add extra hot chilli sauce to a dish that already contains a load of birds eye chillis in the first place.

Just thinking out loud here.

Also, how many pores does a full-grown human have exactly?

At school I really didn't get along with my science teacher.

There was no chemistry.

If I'm being completely honest, the reason I failed high school maths is I didn't give 110%.

Stoopid 3.9 to 3.10 incompatibility ...

GlenDownton,
@GlenDownton@mastodon.au avatar

@SebastianM6L I'm back-porting an app from 3.10 to 3.9 to run on a Raspberry pi. 3.10 introduced the "match" keyword which 3.9 doesn't have.

It's not a show-stopper, just a pain to rewrite a few functions and end up with uglier code :/

@orsinium @SebastianM6L It's not that much, I was just having a little whinge!!
