lol ooh burn!

what was the reaction?

Oh yeah, it's the day off for lent too if anyone is following it closely.

We wissssh to register a complaint 🐍

Ooh delightful thank you

I have a meeting with the new manager they hired.

"decline".

yep also in trackies. Was last night too. Shits insane, I dont remember there ever being such a "push and pull" between the seasons like this. Usually summer just fades.

I'm cold!

Nope, I'm giving nothing the caller doesn't already have. I will confirm they have correct info if they provide it, however. This is just basic phone security - no competent company would expect a cold call recipient to start giving them information.

And if they're not competent, I have no business talking to them.

My company has this too, pretty awkward. I normally already spoke to the person and I start with "Hi it's Force, I spoke you last week about X - before I can go any further though I do need to ask you for X Y Z.". Lots of ppl still prefer to end the call and call back on our main phone number though, which is fair enough

yeah nope no chance. You call me outta the blue and ask for info is gonna be a big fat no.

Looks amazing. Nicely done!

I gotta say, part of it speaks to entitled young men. 25 years ago when I was trying to get laid and struggling I looked at what I could improve about myself rather than blaming women for not being interested. If I could give 15 yo me some advice on the topic it would be to keep doing what you're doing. Treating women like people and being a good friend got me laid way more than I ever expected given my younger self's self-esteem. That and loving someone harder won't make them any more interested, take the no and move on.

A spot in my tea maybe

My son and his wife and kid are now safe in Germany for which I thank various deities. USA is going to get worse before it gets better too imo. He mentioned in his last phone call that one of his neighbours went out to buy groceries, but came back with ammunition instead. And that's in a fairly civilised part of a fairly chill city a long way from MAGAland. That was the deciding factor that made him and his wife decide to get out asap. Granted, there's a military base there, and a lot of people who know how to NOT use guns, but still ... If the ordinary decent people are starting to behave like that, anything can happen.

It’s terrifying, and I have a sinking feeling in my gut I don’t know how to describe. That feeling when something bad is happening, but it’s about to get much worse. Everyday is some new horror. Today the images of the Venezuelans. And Trump saying he was ‘being sarcastic’ when he said he would solve the Ukraine war in a day. Triggering because I have had narcissists in my life for a long time, and the whole ‘I’m not wrong, YOU’RE wrong’ gaslighting tactics used when ever they feel their status might be threatened is very real. It will not stop. Anyone who thinks they can ‘deal with’ or reason with Trump and his inner circle is dead wrong. They must have never had knowledge of this personality type. These people do not have any principles and don’t care about reason. They care only about power.

Don't you love it when office equipment just fails in the office.

My work laptop takes forever to connect to work wi-fi. Works great when plugged into the hub, but struggles with wi-fi in meeting rooms

Such convenience.

You can have the day off, it's our fault not yours 👍

careful voicing that opinion online. I got jumped on for my comment on the other site calling out that I thought the union would take a dim view to having both a CFMEU bumper sticker next to a "Fuck off were full" sticker. And yes, It was on a ford ranger. Because of course it was.

It's weird, I've got an overall positive view on the CFMEU as my dad was involved in the union as a rep (BLF) on several sites as I grew up. He faced consequences from employers for taking on this role, but it was an important one. In the 70's/80's, the construction industry was a terribly unsafe place to work and my dad contributed to a lot of safety changes that have since become industry standards and policies. He's proud of the work he did for the union and I'm proud of him for what he sacrificed to keep his coworkers alive.

To see what the union has become is hurtful, but I still see them as an overall force for good in the world.

I did’t watch the show, but have noticed in recent years many large very expensive looking new child care centres popping up all over the place. There must be plenty of money to be made if so many multi-million dollar facilities are profitable. I don’t live in a growth suburb with young families. I can think of at least 5 new mega places within a few km of my house. I know the workers get paid abysmally, so who’s getting the cash?

It's an industry that seems to attract corruption and abusers.

It was like that over 38 years ago when miss seagoon went to childcare when i was going to uni. The woman running it was putting in fake subsidy claims and pocketing the money.

It's the government subsidies, subsidies attract corruption.

Open the ring up a bit with a 5c piece (the one surviving use for these). Or a nail file.

Separate the rings with your thumbnail like you're splitting a nut. You just gotta get them far enough apart for the key to fit, then it will continue to hold the loops apart as you run it around the coil to pop off the end

finger grease

angle grinder

Butter knife to pry the bits of the ring apart.

I'm on proton, it's based in Switzerland

I still have some gmail, I suppose I should shift it over

Zoho is another option that has a while suite of supporting services. It's not open source but they sell business software as their main revenue so you're less the product

"don't date that fat kid when you get to VCE, they are very much NOT NICE and you CANNOT fix them!"

And

"Study animal care!!"

It doesn't matter how much weight you lose, you are NEVER going to look like Twiggy. Respect your own DNA, don't try to copy anyone else's. Oh yes, do buy those 2 two-bedroom apartments on Spring Street opposite the Houses of Parliament - for $13,000 each. You can rip out the pink leather wall coverings and the life size posters of Botticelli's Venus out of the bathrooms later. And take the numbers off the bedroom doors likewise.

Stay away from them.

try for scholarships at girls grammar schools , try them all, get brochures,
