Likewise. And if I don’t use it, they have to pay it back to me hour by hour when I resign. With long service leave on top I could feasibly just take a half a year off if I have enough notice.

Gee thanks for the alternative

Similar boat, after our first rabbit passed away we decided to rescue a bunny to be a partner for our second rabbit, who was still only 4, when the first moved on. He was 8, and had a few serious medical events after a rough patch with seizures, and he was on weekly antibiotic injections for two years.

Rescue bunny is a big new Zealand red eyed white, who is very picky, blind, and anxious. After a few tough months where we had to segregate the house, we managed to bond them but he has never been all that relaxed around humans or tolerant of grooming, nail trimming, etc etc.

He’s now 3.5 years old, we adopted him at 9 months. This month he’s started letting us pick him up without struggling (for nail trims), started flopping while being pet/near us, and is all around a lot less anxious (except for scary things like dogs, birds, and loud noises - he is almost completely blind I think).

They’re just such sweet animals once they form a relationship with you, but most people don’t “speak” rabbit love as easily as they “speak” dog or cat love. Nothing better than our little lady running to my feet every morning when I get up, and grooming my legs every time I sit on the floor!

I miss my outfit. Briggs server was so wholesome, almost everyone knew everyone.

This has unlocked a memory I haven’t recalled in probably 20 years…

Every second descent is actually an upstairs staircase, so you just keep going up and down.

Darktide is fun with friends, but it’s still a good game without. My friends all burnt out on it after 30ish hours but I’ve almost hit 100 now and still having fun every now and again. Scratches a very particular itch

And watch Master & Commander while you’re at it.

Echo this. I work in a similar proposal world which requires too much tailoring and fan fare. Feed in the RFP, load up our USP/methodology, and record a meeting where we talk shit about what the proposal needs to accomplish.

It shortcuts the first 50-60% of the process. But it’s helpful to have something to build over, rather than from scratch.

Saw an announcement earlier. Later in the month. I think 25th?

Yeah, but those highways have like 5 cars and 10 trucks per hour (if that) and none of them are within 1000km from 99% of the population. Slight hyperbole, but they are genuinely only in the deep rural areas. 260k people in 1.4m square kilometres. Every where else top speed is 110, which is between city highways in good condition for the most part.

From experience… Hmmmm $120 take it or leave it.

Likewise, Pixel 6 with similar track record but nearing 4 years. Plus it sits on my motorcycle handlebars for 18000km+ so it’s hardly been coddled.

This all just makes me so sad about the future of phones. What a shit set of decisions we have coming up.

I’ve seen someone on this platform, call out people who block bridges as having a “lack of empathy because you’ve never had to be somewhere on time”

You’re so right, how dare I make someone late for their dentist appointment. Let the genocide continue, by all means.

Oh no I’ll be late to my appointment, wouldn’t it be better if we just accepted genocide so I could be on time?

I was just thinking the same thing. What a wonderful world we live in.

I’m still in it for niche hobby groups. Unfortunately the kind of information I’m looking for is hard to come by elsewhere. Even Reddit was not as good a source of community knowledge for these activities.

FYI CoMaps is the new fork of organic maps, without the selling out.

$ for hours on VS is insane, even with all the DLC it’s pennies. I feel like I’m stealing from the dev.

The “-ology” books? My parents kept my set of those in a box for however many years - at least 15 - and they’ve been passed on to my niece and nephew.

I am not going to lie, they still capture my attention the same way now. And I still remember the answers to all the riddles in Dragonology.
