At work they suggested for our signature blocks that we add in the phonetic spelling of your name, to help people pronounce it accurately.
Absolutely shocked to say the ai tool they got us to use to generate it got my pronunciation absolutely bang on, I feel so vindicated. This is how they get you

User surveys should offer pasta bake based incentives for you completing their 5-8 min improvement form.

"Penne for your thoughts?"

Thankyou.

one of the cruelest tricks my neurodivergence has instilled in me - long standing, untreated hypersensitivity to rejection or the concept of it, and my predilection to collect records - is that flawed, annual celebration "Record Store Day" has the same initials as "Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria"

Oh yeah the benefits for me - no longer always tired, actually feel refreshed when I've got 7+ hours of sleep. One weird side effect was my snoring was actually doing a fair bit of cardio so I needed to start excising more to make up for it, but again, easier than before. Life changing

Srsly, best thing I ever did, though I had to retire from the Australian snoring team.

Partner would way rather me not snore and live longer than the other way around

So far at the shops I've had 2 "go the raiders" based on my hat, and one "fuck yeah, master Leonard!" Based on my tshirt of my favourite Sydney thrashy doom metal band

A good day so far

Glad everyone is on board

Hi, very casual American football watcher here. Is it usual that a quarterback will get sacked by the defence throwing one of his linesmen at him?

Reading about eb Games struggles - are you telling me that having a paid membership that gave you benefits like "buy 10 Funko pops get your 11th free" and "double carrots on second hand games" hasn't been the silver bullet they thought it would?

"I just made you up, to hurt myself... And it worked,!* is still the greatest nine inch nails line, even 20 years on.
Heard only tonight at a Newtown bourbon bar and I can't get it out of my head.

Screen grab of Sydney morning Herald weather forecast, notable because 3 of the days they have used the sun icon to represent "heavy showers"

Sydney's weather is very very optimistic

Easily one of the most confronting album covers though (but yes, great engaging music)

Alyssa Healy retiring brings to a close one of the finest cricket careers I have had the pleasure of watching, and has absolutely contributed to the rise of all women's sport over the last decade and a half, let alone cricket. We are so much richer for it. What a legend.

At the time I thought the whole reason Dubstep was popular was that 90% of the tracks were laments or dirges, which was an unusual antithesis to the instant gratification bent house and techno was on at the time...
But really people just like a bass wobble

I think that's very fair to, and when I look back on dubsteps moment, which I disliked at the time but quite like now, I think that was a really key component of it's importance.

I worry that some of the language around the Myanmar election is too qualifying. There are no 'fears' or 'concerns', it is absolutely, completely, no questions bullshit. This is beyond the ordinary dodgy lawmakers doing (or trying) a dodgy, it's garbage now and has been since Feb 1 2021!

But why? Doing work based on a hunch it might be useful in the possibly distant future is just not going to get priority.

It would be noted to be work that would become actionable if and when the appeals are over and it would be a waste of resources to assign work to it prior.

According to the commentators, all of these batters "can be dangerous" because "if they get on a roll", "they can score very quickly".

Insightful.

This is fair enough, though he's a recluse with epic anger management issues and a contrarian streak... He's resourceful, but has no sense of a proportionate response to anything.

Which presumably is why one gets the meal deal.

Because you want Baranski to crush on you no matter what.

In an attempt to understand why there is a Grinch meal deal at Maccas, we are watching the Ron Howard directed movie. I presume it's so beloved because it's the story of a young Taylor Momsen who pretty recklessly tries to reunite a ridiculously incredible Christine Baranski with her teenage crush.

It's interesting. As far as I can tell they will be keeping the name Wentworth Park but giving it some accessibility upgrades.

Hopefully they will rename the old fish market stop something like Pyrmont South (or Paradise Reserve if they are feeling frisky)
