I deliberately avoided IT as a career because I didn't want my hobby to be ruined by making it work.
Unfortunately now I'm so buggered after working my normal job that I lack the energy (and time) to code much anyway. And I earn less, probably.
Think I might have played myself.
You'll remember that for a while...
Some years back I saw something similar on the Mount Lindesay Highway (90kph).
Falcon slowing to turn off to the right (on a road doesn't even even exist anymore), and a ute following behind obviously wasnt watching and run straight up the back at full pelt. Tray full of tools and parts goes flying as the ute bounces off to the left, Falcon all bent up and now sitting in the oncoming lane.
Both of them hop out of their vehicles having a minor freak out. I drove the Falcon off the road (well, kinda... the arse end bounced half a dozen inches off the ground each wheel rotation so it more hopped than drove) and helped old mate push his ute off the road and get all his bits off the highway. Traffic was banking up pretty quick and you could hear the hard braking going on so was only a matter of time before another stack happened.
About a dozen other cars had pulled up by then so I just left contact details and headed off. Always wondered how that played out.
But yet the normie doesn’t want to punish success 🤡
Always reminds me of this scene from Futurama
I know, I was there for it. And I'm even naked about then! Still don't reckon it's beanie weather. Probably should fix my bathroom windows so they close at some point regardless though.
.... We're still in double digits, how is it beanie weather yet? 😂
Oh poop, so I did.
Damn. That's not the spirit at all 😢
Rah rah fight the power
"Shorts" and "Games" are like herpes. No matter how many times you try to get rid of them, they just keep appearing.
I do not want short form video, nor do I want to participate in "gaming" that is just poker machines reskinned as a "game" to take your money.
The "not interested" button, it does nothing!
Also I woke up thinking that it's Friday so there's that. Have a good Wednesday.
Nothing ruins a good FriYAY like finding out it's Wednesday.
She said the protest would not go ahead if the court ruled it to be illegal.
That's the spirit! Always found it a bit weird that you had to have permission to protest. Like... you're taking action on something you feel really strongly about after all the usual methods have failed. Needing permission to get angry is weird.
In Australia, they are also called guide dogs, for the same reason. And for the same other reason too.
Exactly the same, in fact, since our Guide Dogs was started by a bloke from the OG English crew back in the 50s. Not sure what blind people did before that, just kinda wandered around and hit things with sticks I guess.
On the one hand I'm against the death penalty, but on the other hand I'm sick of Australians going to Bali and being dickheads.
A photo I took on December 27th, 2002 at 11:49am.... but where?
I believe its on the northside of Brisbane as we were visiting someone out that way and an hour or two later I took a photo of JB Hifi at Chermside, but buggered if I can work out where this is exactly.
Did a lap down Gympie Road using Google Streetview but its not old enough. Nothing looks exactly right anyway.
COULD have been from the southside as we lived in Mount Gravatt at the time, so really anywhere between there and Chermside'ish via main roads I guess.
Apologies for the photo quality. It was 2002. Digital cameras weren't much chop back then.
I've uploaded the original file (and a few from afterwards which are definitely from the Northside, EXIF data shows they were taken a few hours later) here in case another pixel or two can be gleaned from the original: https://www.palad.in/uploads/aussie.zone/mystery-location-2002/
