That was a pretty serious list, I have to say.

Last time I had my phone plugged in to charge it, I noticed that it wasn’t on charge mode exclusively, but it was actually on File Share Mode.

Now I don’t know if the airplane was able to instigate that connection mode, or why my phone was on that mode, but it did concern me incredibly that they were able to browse the files on my phone, when I just wanted it to charge.

I’ve been learning traditional art for nearly 2 years now. I suck constantly.

Then very rarely I paint something I like.

I find I paint things I like more often now than previously.

This stuff takes time. Stick with it.

I don’t blame anyone for failing to teach imperial. It’s surreal.

I grew up with both (gen x Australian), and when I lived through the transition, metric is a godsend.

Feet. Pound. Stone. All I see are objects. But they are easily objective to the imagination.

There are now only 2 countries left I believe, dragging their heels, and officially using Imperial

I wonder how much “metrics” data is sent home?

I used to hitch hike a LOT, and a lady once asked me that. Just like this cartoon.

I replied “as long as you don’t murder me”

She laughed…

I got in the car…

We drove off.

I haven’t seen her since.

Every time. I believe the 2 cloves thing is really an approximate in the industry.

I had a recipe last week that specifies 11 small cloves. That raised my eyebrow.

So, to keep to form, I put in 12.

No recipe is going to tell me how much garlic I should use!

I have to say, I’m so over WordPress that those static site generators are looking pretty sweet right about now.

Omg the ads. How are they even allowed to get away with that?!

You’d enjoy the yidingi nation in Cairns then.

They have their own governer general, police, taxation department and more.

They have an immigration department, and you can even apply to be a citizen.

They are a nation, and are recognised as such by a fair chunk of overseas countries.

They literally were dual policing, in public, with the Queensland police, side by side, on nadoc week, and have their own vehicles, officers and more.

When you see that, and you see this guy from Tasmania, his claim doesn’t feel so far fetched anymore.

If he’s from the nation that traditionally owns the land being logged, and he protests on his own land, then from a human perspective I feel for him. From a legal perspective though, situations like the yidingi of the north will probably need to be tested first.

The heat in qld. The humidity in summer cannot be understated.

If I ride in summer to a meeting, I’m going to need a shower and a full change of clothes. That’s not practical. Sure, at can implement infrastructure (showers) everywhere, and places to store our sopping wet sweaty clothes maybe, but it’s just not going to fly.

Definitely introduce infrastructure, and get people on bikes.

But let’s not live in fantasy land that the humidity makes riding to work in summer a no for most people, who need to be clean, dry, and have non sweat soaked clothes at work.

That’s nice. I just don’t see showers and change rooms, with bike storage and whatnot becoming the norm. It would be great if it did, but I think it would be a long way off. Fingers crossed though

Panniers are a game changer. Love mine

I honestly didn’t read it, but, can people not be sacked anymore?

I’ve been sacked when I was young, and I damn well deserved it. It was a wakeup call. Never made that mistake again.

Unless they want to breed healthy offspring maybe? Who can say.
