My psychiatrist knew I was sad and starting to look thin before she even summoned me into the room. Haha. I reassured her I can still stand to lose another 15 or so kilos before there’s any cause for concern. I’m just built like my father…. I’m all muscle. So even at 85 kilos I look a bit like I’m starting to lose “too much” weight but I won’t worry til I’m down to 70.

People really have no sense of the scale of Australia, do they? The comment section is incredulous about this post.

It is a powerful reminder that Indigenous culture made life in arid country possible and sustainable for over 60K years.

I have allllll my documents loading from two cloud accounts, personal on GDrive (200gb), academic on OneDrive (20gb), and it is making me really nervous not having these data stores backed up locally. I want a solution that lets me take automated backups of the whole drive on (say) a weekly basis. Does anyone have any experience using GoodSync for this purpose?

NY designates social media an 'environmental toxin' for young people... there are some valid regulatory concerns around predatory marketing in and of apps like Instagram to children, but this is just a bit too cute. https://www.axios.com/2024/01/24/new-york-city-social-media-environmental-toxin

People wanting to hire an e-scooter in Melb will need to pass a 'virtual breathalyser' test on an app to prevent drunken riders getting horrible injuries... this doesn't sound plausible to me. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/too-drunk-to-ride-the-test-you-ll-need-to-pass-to-rent-an-e-scooter-20240123-p5eze9.html [$]

Here's a legal technicality of which I was not aware and that will assuredly boggle the minds of my techie friends: courts presume that computer systems are reliable and if a defendant wants to argue otherwise it's on them to prove it.

Picked up fresh rye bread and my two new pairs of specs. I got a great deal on the lens coatings and the ultra-dark polarised lenses are great in the sun AND in the fluorescent hell that is K-Marché.
