I wouldn’t say it’s something I’m ‘in to’ specifically. I do read/watch sci-fi, but it’s not the dominant or only genre for me. I happily enjoy literature, crime, non-fiction, general fiction, biography. Sci-fi is so broad, it’s not just spaceships and laser beams. Just like any other genre, there’s unreadable junk and then also brilliant works that leave you thinking long after you’ve read them. I like the same things about it that I do in other genres, eg human struggles, mysteries to solve, comedy, redemption, action, discovery, drama etc. I mostly read the softer stuff where the sci-fi is not really the point of the story, just happens to allow a ‘what if’ scenario that our current reality doesn’t.

Congratulations!

Yes that’s a good take, the employers need to be held accountable for unfair dismissals. Perhaps the affected people could investigate their rights through fair work Australia or one of those law firms that specialise in this kind of stuff.

What a mess. I feel sorry for everyone involved in this story. I don’t know enough about the law to know if she has committed any crimes, under what laws? But if there’s a chance for the wrongly accused people to clear their reputations and get some compensation for their lives being disrupted then they should pursue it. The wife may not even understand she had done anything wrong and may not understand any penalties, and it certainly won’t cure her, so legal action probably wouldn’t have any affect on her thoughts or future behaviours. It’s purely for the benefit of the victims.

Wow! I thought my 290hrs this year was a high amount but not even close! It listed my top category as Literature and Fiction which only slightly edged out sci fi and myster/thriller categories which had a similar number of hours. It said I earned a ‘genre hopper ribbon’.

I’m so sorry. It’s heartbreaking to loose a pet. Sending warm wishes.

Just think of the money you will have wasted if you ruin your new engine straight away. Patience is required.

It’s a way of saying time is being wasted. Time is a-wastin’ away. The term was used in a song by Johnny cash, not sure if origin is American slang or something used in English everywhere.

I think there’s still a few with literal meanings, but they’ve gone out of fashion. Eg Dawn, Sage, Ruby, Victor.

So dark in the house today. I much prefer natural light to turning the lights on, but it’s too dark.

I noticed it tonight too, it’s huge!

I think it’s time to thank the boardies for their service and retire them. Duct tape sounds like it will not end well!
