Daily random thread: almost almost the weekend edition (June 15, 2023)
AKA: Daily random thread: Baku doing the posting cuz nobody has invented automoderator for Lemmy yet
Edit: words
Got a message from my manager regarding a minor complaint made against me. Apparently I use big words in emails and some people find it intimidating.
We had a good chuckle about it. I was hoping he'd tell me who it was so I could send that person a link to a dictionary/thesaurus page.
Straight to hr for being smart. We only want dumb people working at this company.
Big words make sad and angry.
Make stop please.
A complaint about VOCAB?!
Good to see breakfast is on in the thread already
Quick update on where I've disappeared to lately: I have been living in a bubble since starting my new job almost 5 weeks back.
The days are INTENSE but rewarding. Found my passion in what I'm doing. The days fly by from how busy I am.
2 weeks in my manager went on annual leave so I've been running HR/WHS on my own. Talk about trial by fire.
But I've proven to myself and the company that I can hold my own.
šŗšŗ Sir Lister of Smeg has arrived and been absolutely winning at everything in their new job!šŗ
Smashing it! ā°(Ā°ā½Ā°)āÆš

Nice work, Smeggy!
So good to hear! Very glad you found the new DT too
Love to hear this, Smeg!! Been wondering what was happening with you, so glad to hear everything up coming up Smeg! Super excited for you :)
Fabulous to get up and see a new daily thread. This manual setup for everything instead of midnight magic will take some getting used to.
I think for now it's fine with whoever is up around midnight. I was a big supporter of the midnight smile club :D, starting a new thread is a similar thing. No need to bust your chops over it at the moment.
But learning to create a bot to post a new thread automatically is just the first step in my cunning plan. I will then be able to move on to creating my own personal bot army. First we will take over the Aussie Zone, then all of Lemmy World will be mine!!! I will throw all the people off and have pristine communities filled entirely with perfect, rule-following robots. Oh, wait, did I say that bit out loud š¤
It's all good! I was just up at 12:30 and saw one hadn't been posted yet so I did the honours. I think it's fine with whoever is up before one is listed don't the posting, but obviously finding a way to automate that process would probably be best in the long term
Maybe we need a ācreate daily threadā roster? Iāll do a day, if someone explains how
Once upon a time there was a pretty cool nightclub. It was quite a swanky place. It had its regulars, drop ins and lurkers. It was open to everyone 24 hours 7 days a week. But one day the owners decided that the management wasn't that important so management organised a mutiny. They closed the main dance floor and kept the VIP area open but still that wasn't enough. So they closed the place baracading themselves in. Some patrons were confused as to why they weren't allowed access anymore. Where's everybody gone? Where do I go now?
Then some bright spark said "I know a place. Follow me". Now this new place wasn't as flash as the last (I think it was an old factory in the back streets of the industrial area in Footscray) but it was free and it was safe. At first a few trickled in to have a look around. Then word got around and more and more turned up. The old lurkers turned up to cause a stir but generally everyone's been happy to have a regular place to meet again.
P.s.There's always that dodgy looking guy in the corner with a leather jacket on chewing his gum and selling shit.
Iām so grateful the DT lives on. I donāt have a large social circle and it really helps seeing friendly faces/ usernames with lil chats & updates. š¤
Me too! My social circle could fit around my pinky finger, but the DT became my home away from home. This place might be different, but at least the company is the same <3
Same! I was really feeling lost at the thought of losing this supportive, beautiful group of champs.
I came in on and off, I wasn't as frequent compared to others. But I still see some familiar faces so it's great to see that!
Edit: whoops meant to say wasn't as frequent. Was frequent around 2017 - 2019 when I was going to uni but dropped off afterwards.
Had to make a decision to fire someone today. Haven't actioned it yet, but got approved by one of the big dogs.
Tried so hard to give them a chance with written warning and performance improvement plan, but they think everyone else is the problem, they're carrying their department, and that everyone around them is too sensitive.
Hard decision to make in this climate but I've got a whole team to look after that don't deserve being bullied.
Feel more confident than ever in this job when my tough calls are backed like this.
You can make it fun by singing
If you work here and you know it, clap your hands
And when everyone is about to clap, turn to the person who's getting sacked and just say Not you, though
That's amazingly brutal and I love it
I just laughed at what you wrote. Oh noes, guess Iām going straight to hell
Before the song commences, ask them to wear oven mitts.
Hey, you've got to act in the interests of your whole team, and it sounds like they'll be a better team for it. You never know, that person's next job might end up being a better fit for them.
I think their department will be so much happier with them gone. They deserve better.
Hello DT, happy housewarming for the new residence. This platform is going to take me a bit of getting used to. But nice to see so many familiar names. Thankyou very much to @[email protected] and anyone else who did the work to make this happen. I appreciate your tech skills and initiative!
Edit: I have no idea how to tag people properly, hope that was it.
Yes the tag worked! @[email protected] is the one who set this place up, I just followed them here and made myself at home when I saw @dumblederp@[email protected] had made a daily thread here!
Plan to use this shutdown as a prompt to spend more time off my computer: failed
I came to create a new /melbourne, as there was already one here I made a new DT. I also created one at kbin but that doesn't seem as popular. I just wanted everyone to have a place to hangout. I understand the protest reasons but I don't agree with the method.
Thankyou lodion and dumblederp!
You stay off the internet for a couple days and everyone dissappears.......
Cheers @[email protected] for pointing me hereRight! I was like "yeah, this whole Reddit thing is a good excuse to detox for a day". Come back on and I couldn't even post in the DT.
Welcome dude :)
Glad to have you here.
š«šµš§£š§¤š§¦
welcome
Guys/gals/others/all, gotta say, having been here a week or so, it's neat seeing you all turn up.
I looked at it Monday I think and was a bit put off by the lack of numbers. But Tuesday morning, it became apparent the writing on the Wall and figured I may as well help get started or build the numbers. Rome wasnāt built in a day and all that.
I can only speak for myself but I took the 12-14 blackout as a way to detox a little from my overuse of Reddit. Came back to some messages from a few (Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected] ) saying this is where most have migrated to.
But yeah, I do wonder if we've missed some people given the DT has completely shut down.
Youāre welcome. Wouldnāt be the same without ya.
Just bummed that on my cake day I lost the community that got me through a looooot. But hi new peeps! :)
I am upset about the loss of our previous sub and DT, I didn't even get a chance to thank people and say goodbye. However, I'm hoping this will actually turn out better. The people who are really determined to keep the community together are here.
Good point! I guess thereās just a chance some might not have seen the link to try, and even though i saw it before midnight it didnāt let me comment at all. It was already cut off even before the blackout time. So Iām bummed at how poorly planned it was. First world problem I know but the DT has been a haven.
Happy new cake day! š
A lot of the community are here, so you have not really lost it. Just relocated to this rather rustic locale. šØšŖ
My new aussie zone cake day is only a day after my IRL cake day
Eyy happy belated birthday! My Aussie Zone cake day is about a week and a day before my IRL cake day.
My workplace has recently reduced our mandatory office days from 3 to 2 š¤Æ
Nice! Yay for flexibility
Great decision!
Wow! Did they provide a reason?
I think they were struggling with compliance, it came with a "part of this means that you REALLY need to be in on those days"
My husband has come home with a lemon meringue pie slice just to cheer me up and because he's been using my car. I don't mind receiving payments in the form of dessert.
Heās a good egg.
Also, where from?
Don't laugh but it's from Lazy Moe's. They get their cakes from somewhere else. They have the best lemon meringue I've ever had. They also they have mars bar cake.
just as a PSA, if you're thinking 'a smoothie with a not quite ripe banana will still be ok', you need to go to the nearest mirror and say to yourself 'no, no it will not be ok'
Bananas should NOT be crunchy - this is an abomination of the very nature of bananas. Doesn't matter what shape they are either. Fully endorse OP.
Might as well use a potato for that starchy goodness.....
But chalk is delicious
It's officially been a week since I decided to learn Dutch, and my ability to introduce myself now rivals that of a toddler. I will say I am having so much fun with it! Also, I've found focusing on direct translation has really helped me with recognising word order and the patterns that come with that. Although I sometimes still get "en" and "een" mixed up, especially when I'm practising writing.
Goie more babynanafungus
(Afrikaans is close enough, right?)
From what I understand a native/fluent Dutch speaker would mostly be able to understand someone speaking Afrikaans, but a native/fluent Afrikaans speaker would probably not be able to understand someone speaking Dutch.
Like for me Good Morning is Goedemorgen, Afrikaans like you said is Goie More.
Have you learned "I don't speak Dutch" yet?
It's basically a cornerstone phrase for any language that learn.
Guess who's starting a new job today but lying in bed sick right now?
This is f---ed.
Gonna take me a while to get used to this format but I'm lubed up and ready.
Also the weather is so shitty today.
I keep thinking someone picked the ugly room for this meeting. I've had a bad back the past week so I'm just being bitchy but I'm gonna try to be more cheery because I'm feeling a little better.
Isn't it? Between that and having been up until almost midnight screenshotting, I think today's a good day to putter around and home and light a fire soonish. Which will make the cats very very happy.
Yeah I'm debating on putting the fireplace on. Might do it at lunch and keep it stoking for the day.
Yeah not much about this site gets me fired up and ready to go tbh. But itās better than nothing!
Yeah it is quite cold, normally I don't really feel it but I almost want to put the heating on
I put the ducted on this morning only cause the kids are home from school. Once they're up they'll be forced to put on oodies and imbibe warm drinks.
Damn cost of living and shit....
Heard back from jaybberwocky and dressedlike. They might pop their heads in when they have time. Pinged lemon as well. I think thatās almost everyone yeah? We should established migration buddies haha
The damn migration happened so quickly I was caught out smelling the roses.
Consider my head officially poppedā¦ wait, that sounds so fucking wrong. Never mind. Heyoo!
Stompsie, NUfan,Steve00 here yet?
Just noticed that the blackout on Reddit means I can't even access my older comments - there's a couple of others that I'm trying to remember their exact handle to see if I can hit them up on Reddit and send them this way. I think I saw Steve00 in here though.
I believe someone was going to reach out to stompsie?
I thought Stompsie was around last night?
It's weird seeing total downvotes again. It seems I'm not as witty as I thought I was.
Pay no attention to the public. What do THEY know anyway?
I could see downvotes yesterday but canāt today. Not quite sure whatās happening with that. New technology makes me feel like an old fuddy-duddy.
yeah, now you mention it, it's not on all my comments
Same, did something change or are the downvoters still asleep
The downvoter is like the unopened box of stuff you've brought with you for the last three house moves. You no longer know whats in it, you keep it in the car hole, you move it every time.
years ago (like 30+) our family moved back to Melbourne from the UK. We opened our seafreight boxes 3months later to find the packers had fully packed the kitchen - including all the food in the fridge, vegetables, ham and other obvious perishables - that is certainly a box i would never want to open again
Hello, DT!
Greetings
Got final practice tonight for my dance troupe performance next Wednesday night, things are feeling pretty good and im looking forward to performing :)
Have you thought about combine your dancing and axe throwing hobbies together?
Some have said my throwing technique looks like dancing...... :P
Iāve decided I donāt like work emails. so I wonāt be looking at them anymore.
Ooh, I could get onboard with this policy
In other news - still absolutely buzzing from the BABYMETAL gig on the weekend. There's something to be said about three Jyoshi's singing about unification and becoming one with a single source, while the words WALL OF DEATH flash up on the screens behind them. The crowd parted like the Red Sea before Moses before complete chaos ensued. 10/10 - easily top five gigs of all time for me.
It was such a fun night!!! Very amusing also queueing up right next to Blackpink fans :D
So true - we didn't know that gig was on at the same time and just figured there were a lot more Idol fans coming along, until we peeled off and started seeing far more metal heads, spiked jackets and teased hair haha.

Lol theres a guy in my tea community who veers from good to bad and every time ive blocked him hes becomes better and then ive unblocked him and he gets worse so im just leaving him blocked this time
Today's challenge: trying to figure out how to make a bot. I can find some great examples of what coding to use, but I am still trying to find anything to tell me where to actually put that code. Hopefully I can work it out and get an automated Daily Thread set up in the near future. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
We believe in you!
I have been looking at that, and it has lots of great information about what code to use, but it does not have anything about where you use it. I get the impression it is basic information that most people doing that sort of thing already know, so they don't talk about it. Sort of like finding lots of detailed shoelace tying instructions when what you are trying to find out is where to find a shoe š¤£
Its a shame Lemmy is too new for chatgpt to be much use, I've found it to be a pretty helpful jumping off point for things like this
I've decided to go old school and contacted people I actually know in real life. Fingers crossed they actually know something!
Lasagne is ready. Happy days.
The whole blackout things feels like a kid trying to hold their breath until they get their own way. Reddit corp doesn't care and I expect the moderation of major subs to get handed over to people willing to work with their system.
If the mods are correct in saying they canāt moderate through the first party app, let alone removing the bot mods I kind of get their point. For the larger subs moderation is going to become untenable.
I feel more for those who are disabled who need tools like Apollo to be able to navigate throughout the site. It's bare minimum but people really don't give a flying frick against disabled people.
Have to say with how abrupt the DT went it reminds me of a naughty audio software torrent site called audiofarm I was a member over a decade ago. Was the biggest audio private tracker. One morning wake up and it gone without a trace. The freakout was real. All that knowledge, the ratio..
A few days later and a new tracker started and all was well.
This feels like that.
I had a similar experience with what.cd, it might have been a replacement torrent site for audiofarm? Invite-only, and it was a music lover's dream. Had to keep a positive upload/download ratio. A catalogue bigger than streaming services. I contributed for years. Then one day without any warning, gone. Its servers got seized by the authorities in whatever country they were based. Replacements popped up pretty quickly.
Ooh that's bringing back memories, I remember what.cd as the go to for music in FLAC format for myself.
I haven't been back for a week or so...so the DT is done done, or waiting on an API back down?
all of r/melbourne went private, not sure how long for.
What happened?
You know when you fantasise of saying it like it is to your employer? Well, I did that today (within reason). Nothing insulting or anything, but some very stern feedback given. Communicating various issues with my role and management decisions that another person would have probably just resigned over. It felt SO GOOD. Adrenaline was flowing. Let's see if things improve from this, if not I'm done. I am trying to salvage the situation.
I think @[email protected] is about to fire you...
š¬
Good on you!
Well done, when I did this I was suddenly given my final notice and told of all the problems management had ever had with my behaviour.
Glad to see there's already a Melbourne sub going strong on Lemmy!
exodus
twas an exodus of redditors leaving the platform,
many subs are restricted, many more are private.
the protest continues, a desperate cry for reform,
with the DT closed down, r/melbourne went quiet.
some went to discord, others flocked here
to vent, to query, to share, and commiserate
thank you to those who set up this sphere,
though new to me, to all of you I appreciate.
š„
Did anyone hear that? Bayside about 5 minutes ago. Sounded like an explosion!
I did a favour for a Terry White chemist today and repaired a digital lockset door handle. The owner gave me a bottle of multivitamin for itš„“
Now Iām thinking to myself, do I appear vitamin deficient ?
Could have at least given you something exciting from behind the counter! "Save these for a big night out/big night in" sort of stuff with a big wink.
I know right?
I feel quite out of the loop on what happened with the r/Melbourne
Is there a TLDR?
Mods shutdown the sub over the app/api issue. EDIT: some more loop, reddit admins seem to have hired some business types who'r looking to turn a profit. As such, reddit is charging a fortune for third party apps to access the reddit API (backdoor control centre). The third party apps turn a profit off their advertising, reddit claims it does not make a profit. e2: more loop, so a bunch of subreddits are "going dark" in protest.
People are also doing a blackout for accessibility options. Most say that a lot of 3rd party apps are good for modding compared to the official app. Reddit says that none of the bots that use their API is going away. But a lot of disabled people, specifically blind/hard of seeing are losing access to accessibility in apps like Apollo, as the official app has shit accessibility options.
Reddit CEO shit the bed hard. Then hosted an AMA where he proceeded to double down. Now everyoneās pondering if the bed can be saved or if we need to trash it and get a new one.
I want to quit my job and start a totally different career but I don't know what else I would do. I don't really have hobbies that I can monetise. Booo.
I should stop working. It's been hours and nobody has asked me to do anything so I've just started to decipher code that's written by a colleague. What is wrong with me.
TIL: Typescript is a computer programming language, not a font.
If I learn a computer language, can I call myself bilingual?
I reckon eventually... I mean, if we do in fact create AI, like true AI, it would have its own language, right? Unless you scale it all the way down to binary...
Oh, but what about morse code? Is that a language?
I slept like an idiot last night, and woke up with my cat on my back, so my back is killing me today. Can't bend over without any pain
Return the favour and sleep on the cat's back tonight.
(also, legend move bring your snoo over from Reddit, btw!)
Thanks! I figured that, if anyone is like me and underestimated how much they rely on the Reddit avatar icon to know who's who, then making it the same on this platform may be helpful!
I just ordered stuff from Coles to be delivered because I'm not feeling so great, and I reckon even with the elevated prices/fee I'm still going to save money because I'm not wandering the supermarket picking up things I didn't go in to get/things I don't need/things I absolutely should not be buying.
Hard to walk out of a supermarket these days without spending near $100 with my wheelie nanna bag but I got away with this for $40 delivered.
Update: the packer couldn't find 3 of my items, 2 of which were the most important components of what I wanted for dinner. Welp.
Dammit, so the Melbourne sub going private thing smashed my last 6 months of journaling on the DT. Had I known I could have copied it. Anyone an old melbourne mod here? Any ideas where it might be webarchived? I messaged the old mods today to try and see if they'll grant me access for a little while to copy it. I should have doing it all along, but I obvioulsy didn't foresee this and I had no warning all our old comments would disappear. eck.
EDIT in other news I went to the st kilda town hall for the pop up drag storytime run by rainbow community angels in the wake of another drag storytime event being cancelled due to the disgustiing behaviour of a few. It was cold and wet but our hearts were warmed. happy pride. again.
Hello Fresh code up for grabs. Available for new and past customers. Up to $200 off 6 boxes.
Code: MWAVE - see pic for t&c's
I wonder how many people only order this for the freebie, then cancel.
I did this a couple years ago, using a temp debit card that couldn't be charged again, they then emailed me saying your payment didn't go through but we've got you anyway, pay us back when you are ready.
A second box arrived on my door and I swear all the meat was off despite being cold and not left for long. They then emailed me a few times pretending to be their own debt collector, I emailed them with a pdf letter requesting they cease and desisted all attempts of getting money for the box I didn't pay for and they never contacted me again.
sky pretty
It was suuuch a lovely sunrise!
Iāve just inhaled half a tray of roast veg. Thatāll be dinner
Oh poor automod! Do you think it misses us? Is it lonely?

Morning all! I've been up too late tinkering with this new experience and my eyes feel like they're hanging out on stalks, so I'd better lay off the revenge bedtime procrastination and hit the hay. G'night all!
Have a good sleep Sheila!
Hullo kids
Good morning DT !! hope everyone has a good day today :)
why the fuck did my body decide that i needed enough sleep before fucking 5 o'clock in the fucking morning? i mean, i get a couple extra hours to do housework, but i REALLY don't wanna be awake at this time of day. i'd much rather be giving my pillow some head and my blacket some tail
Bah, Centrelink shenanigans
Think I'm finally getting the hang of keeping the fire going so I don't have to sit over it and feed it. Mind you I have had to dash over and madly stoke it with paper a couple of times.
My method is to use some fire starters (Samba natural are the best IMO), loads of kindling and a few pieces of firewood on top. Start it and leave it. Once the flames go down and the firewood catches it needs little attention. Once the firewood breaks down to embers, put another log in choke out the fire a bit (assuming it's a closed fireplace).
I find paper doesn't do much and can smother the flames if you put too much in.
God I love lighting a fire. Sitting by it and watching it burn. One of lifeās simple pleasures!
Oh DT peeps, I finally did it. I bought a new curved monitor from Officeworks. This one of anyone is curious https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/samsung-23-5-fhd-curved-monitor-lc24f390fhexxy-salc24f390. And damn man, although it was only $147 that's a lot of coin for me. The buyer's remorse sets in hard when I can't actually touch or see or use something I spent large amounts of money on
Is a curved monitor going to be as revolutionary as everyone keeps telling me it will be? I was gonna pay the extra $30 and get the 27", but I'd have had to catch a train to Wangaratta and hen cart it back, not ideal
I like my curved monitor. I wouldn't describe it as revolutionary because it is curved, but it does keep all the bits of a large screen at a better viewing distance. Having enough screen space to work on multiple documents at once is definitely a great thing though and well worthwhile.
Oooh maybe ill look into this
Hope you all have a good day
Too late lol.
Please don't put me back on cleanup duty, boss...
In other news, checked the rest of the saved posts and none of them were from the DT. So I screenshotted everything I need to last night. \0/
Damn! I wish I had done the same, if only to remember some of the names so I could ping them on Reddit and send them this way.
If you saved a comment rather than the whole post you can see it, but you can't open the actual post. So you might be lucky!
Work has ceased for the day. I'm all congested, struggling to breathe, and whistling through the nose and I do not like this one bit.
In bed before 10.30pmā¦ What is this sorcery?!
I have officially liked enough songs on Spotify for my liked songs list to be filterable to "classy" music
Does that mean I can have a "dinner party", and bring out the "fine china", and lay down the "table cloth" and say "ah-pree-see-ate" and go to "ballrooms"?
Wait - how do you find this? I want to know if I have a classy filter too. God knows I fucking need it haha. I have ~400 liked songs, is that enough do you know?
Trying to do the weekly shop for Coles online and it is just shitting the bed. It's both super slow and keeps locking us out or telling us item can't be added or just not showing us the list. I am going to scream. Anyone else having issues?
Edit: Yeah... still having issues, I'm over it. I wanted to add more shit but I'm tired, I want to go to bed.

I've seen some recent posts here about deleting Reddit accounts. If you do decide to, please consider archiving your user page and any posts you particularly enjoyed onto the Wayback Machine. I've deleted many accounts in my time, and trust me, you'll likely feel nostalgic one day and want to go reminiscing. Or, you'll want to link to that one really well-thought-out argument you made one time in a future conversation. A lot easier to do when there's an easily accessible archive you can just access whenever you want.

Okay here's hoping this works - federation from kbin wasn't great yesterday but I can see the new DT today so I should be able to keep up with the regulars again now.

Walked past the Australian Red Cross opshop in Bridge road during lunchtime - They're doing a sale of jeans for "from $5". Which is a huge discount on their regular prices. Their stock is good but comparatively exxy imo.
Does the web app occasionally just judder for anyone else? Like the text randomly vibrates up and down slightly. Itās only happened a few times. But very disconcerting like Iām having a stroke or something. Iām on iOS using safari.
yes. couple times a day. Got that Max Headroom vibe.
Yes, noticed the same.
Nah, but it doesn't work on my work laptop so I'll have to use my phone (which has poo reception in the office) when I'm not working from home. Not looking forward to that.
Yeah doesnāt work on my work pc either. Pain in the a
Yes Iām using the same option as you iOS safari and if Iām scrolling down sometimes it does that and last for several seconds before it stops on it own. I donāt like it, makes my eyes hurt. Itās happened I think 3 times now since yesterday when I joined
Mine has jumped up/down a few times. Iām missing up/down vote numbers. I could see them last night but canāt today.
Some boring data transfer just got a lot more doable - remembered about this soundtrack - Dead Man - Soundtrack
Moon Dog's proposal for the Franco Cozzo site has been rejected by Council, due to a lack of car parking and "amenity impacts due to alcohol".
A mate of mine set up a specialist gym to train commonwealth athletes - the gym is designed to be used by a maximum of 10 people at once since it's so specialised and basically it's his wife and a trainer who do the work, plus he comes in to do some training himself. All up at most there's maybe 14 people on site. The council required that he have 20 parking spaces before he was allowed the permit to run the join. Apparently councils aren't that great at math.
What an absolute wank. There's a fair bit of parking around (literally across from the building). Most of it paid, so more money for the council? I would imagine the strip of restaurants would welcome more hungry patrons too.

I'm really happy with my job starting at 10:30, it's really weird going from no job to suddenly full time work. So starting at 10:30 also helps my Delayed Circadian Rhythm sort of... get used to waking up so early. Not excited for when we start at 9, I just wish I could do half work from home half go in the office, but it's not so bad because it's in the same suburb as me.
Is there a way to have comment threads automatically sort by new? TIA.
Nope, but I hear they are working on improved functionality right now
Oh good - at least I wasn't missing something bleeding obvious. wipes brow
Welp, mine is stuck at New, and I don't even have a clue what happened or how to change it to something else..
Now I'm at the emails part of the new job, and let me tell you, this is stressful... But I'd rather this than getting rejection emails from job so I guess a wins a win?
I stopped looking at work emails this morning and feeling pretty great. š
God strange new worlds LOOKS good. Enterprise jumping to warp looks like what it looked like in my head as a kid.
Going through some old playlists and rediscovered a couple of songs I forgot about!
New Star Trek: Strange New Worlds tonight.
Random tidbit, the USS Endevour was the only vessel to survive the Battle for Wolf 359.
Why they change the Ā”Melbourne community banner? I like the big Mš
It was the icon that was the M, which was changed to a tram previously. There was no banner before, so I put the map up. It gives us something visual to have there, but definitely does not need to be permanent.
I'd liken it to hanging a cheap print on the wall, it livens up the place for now, but we'll probably want to spend some time finding a really good bit of artwork later.
All good. You are doing great BTW. A natural.
I suggested the map icon as there was another suggestion Big M Didn't take into account other areas...sorry
Any statisticians out there keen to comment on the correlation between time that lunch was eaten and how busy work is? Iām eating lunch at 4:30 and itās hectic today.
Well, you found time to eat lunch so it's obviously not off the scale hectic. To fully assess we would need to consider factors such as what time breakfast was consumed, whether anybody has supplied donuts for morning tea, and whether or not lunch is the same bloody soup you've been eating all week.
We need your clear logical thinking at our company
If I did Click and Collect at Chemist Warehouse and they didn't have stock at the place I pick up at, will they try and get stock to that location, ask if I want to pick up at another location, or just be jerks and refund?
