Kinda jealous of people with younger kids than me that get Bluey. We had Octonauts who won’t explain who funds their aquatic missions and are obviously pirates.

I will now commence cooking in the hotel room. The dish is pasta arrabiata with some roasted capsicum, artichoke and sundried tomatoes stirred through.

Hobby electronics is 80% dealing with the fact everything expects 5v and 5v batteries aren't really a thing, and 20% being told on forums that your question is wrong.

Google is not a search engine anymore. It’s just a portal with featured content. Your search query is just a theme you’d like to loosely filter the content.

Woolworths feeling it. “Can I check your bag please?” At the self serve checkout. “No thank you.” Look of incredulity.

I was asking Chat GPT about something to get a summary of some info I was struggling to understand completely from just web searches about the SPI protocol. I closed the window, then wanted to come back to it but forgot what I was asking. So I asked it what my last question was.

"You asked what the capital of France was. It's Paris."

There's an entire thing on TikTok at the moment about Americans don't realise that you can just eat fruit off trees, and also a backlash against non-Americans laughing at them for having no geography knowledge and I'm just like...

It is with a combination of deep, despairing sadness, and also uproarious laughter, that I share with you that the "Boycott Halal in Australia" Facebook group has a song.

I am a simple man begging for tutorials with written word and not some 19 year old screaming WHAT'S UP YOU GUYS in a YouTube video

Few years back a salvo was going table to table in the beer garden I was in. When he got to mine I did my usual "Sorry mate, can't look after you with the way you treat queer folks." Usually I get a sneer but this guy immediately came back with "So you're ok with people missing out on our support because of our position on sin?"

I nearly lost my fucking mind. "First up, champ, there is absolutely no scriptural support for your hateful crap, so let's not pretend there is. Secondly, people missing out positions you as the only game in town - you're not. I support other organisations that do great work and they don't condition it on shitty theology and what's between people's legs."

In today's bank idiocy, car dealer rings up to say they hope I'm enjoying my vehicle, but the trade in is encumbered. The trade in I paid the last payment on in 2017. Something has gone sideways in the permanent machinations of banks and finance companies selling each other to each other and that particular loan was never sold to the buyer. There was a very fucking angry phone call.

LBT: My favourite questions to ask the interviewer in an interview:

1. Why does this position exist? Is it because of organic factors like organisational growth or did the incumbent leave? If they left, why?

2. How is the relationship between the company and its employees defined? Is there an enterprise agreement or just individual agreements?

3. Who does the most senior person in the technology division report into? Directly to the CEO or to someone else in the c-suite? If it’s someone else in the c-suite is it the CFO?

"Would you like to try our new sticky date hot cross buns?"

No. And I hope you are murdered while your family watches.

On any given business day I’ll be handling 5-15 “things.” On Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00am there’s a meeting to prioritise them. They get put in order of urgency and/or importance, some get cancelled, another might get added. Fairly normal stuff.

Somewhere, somehow, a cloud function app that someone has built, has started in the last two weeks, sending me a nightly 10:00pm prioritisation list of tomorrow’s tasks via Teams. It’s wrong, because that’s not how this works, but it actually knows the tasks which it’s presumably pulled from JIRA. Nobody seems to know anything about it.

There's a supermarket in Emerton which is stocked by donations and priced so that $10 will get you a few days' food for your family. Every Christmas our parish does a drive to stock it and this Christmas is the first Christmas that we've broken 400 bags of groceries with 401.
