My fiancée has passed her citizenship test and is now just waiting for the invite for the formal ceremony. And in the same week, her sister has received final exam results and is all good to graduate later this year. And we’ve got Paramore tickets for when they’re coming to Sydney in late November.
So it’s been a good week.
Today I’m back to work, and I guess tonight is the one night of normal before the weekend chaos starts tomorrow night.
I’ve got the next couple of days off from work, so it’s nice to have a slow and chill start to the week. It’s my last break before our wedding in a few months, so I’ve got to make the most of it.
I’m linking in from kbin.social, so let me know if anyone sees weirdness on how my comments appear (if you eventually do see this).
I start work at 8:50am WFH.
So most of the time I’m out of bed at 8:45am.
I’m also not a coffee drinker, so that helps. If I’m extremely low on sleep (<6 hours), I’ll resort to some form of coke/Pepsi, but that’s extremely rare and basically an emergency method.
I’d love to see an automated daily thread. It’s like building the framework for the community to grow around.
In the past, I’ve configured the heater to turn on automatically (disabling when away or in warmer weather).
It often gets coldest around 5am, so I used to schedule it to come on around 4am and then off at 6:30am.
These days I’ve got different setup (later work start + WFH) and don’t need it, but that method made it so much easier to get out of bed for my early commute for a couple of winters.
Same here. Aside from one of the injections (brief stinging/pinching pain in the roof of my mouth), the entire process was painless and I didn’t even need painkillers afterwards.
That said, I can see how there’s a lot of room for different experiences between countries, different orthodontists/dentists, and even between individual patients depending on which tooth and how bad the decay was.
Regular movement results in regular movement.
Waze is quite a different experience than Google Maps when driving, so it’s made sense to keep them as two separate apps.
Google Maps is “I want to get from point A to point B in a normal way.”
Waze is “I want the most aggressively quick way; no back street is too small for me.”
I feel like OP has gone too far with the editorialised headline this time, as the only thing that’s happening at this point is switching Waze over to use the standard Google ad platform rather than their custom system.
Tumblr CEO David Karp reported to Yahoo’s Simon Khalaf, founder of the analytics platform Flurry (also acquired by Yahoo). In an anecdote from an unnamed former employee, Khalaf walked into one team meeting about Tumblr saying the popular blogging platform was “going to be the new PDF.”
“It didn’t make any sense,” the employee recounted. “We’d walk away scratching our heads.”
I’m with them on this. That makes zero sense.
As an example, the very specialized /r/IPv6 community seems to have adapted fairly well to Discord.
While I’m generally not one for this sort of thing, I feel like comparing him to someone with cerebral palsy (the origin of “spaz”) is a bit harsh.
At least most of them try to be nice people.
No kids, just lots of things.
Friday night will have to be something special for the citizenship + graduation (but small since we still have the actual events yet to come).
Friends have a 1yo birthday party on Saturday for a late lunch, and then dinner plans with some other friends about 30km the other direction. Then some other social things on Sunday.
The next two weekends are all clear at the moment, so we’ve got that.
