Probably the 72 year old Ferguson tractor I own, new parts are so easy to find and usually very reasonably priced. It’s also designed to be easily user serviceable and user repairable.

It feels like it to me.

Gabe only answers twice.

We finished working on what we had already agreed to do and then cancelled the contract, the client was quite understanding.

At a small company I used to work for we agreed to take over the management system for someone trading physical resources. The guy that originally wrote it was self taught. We did a hand over with him where he took us through the code base. It was written in dotnet but it was a huge mess, he had blended multiple different dotnet paradigms, there was mixed business and UI code all over the place, large chunks of html were stored in the db, db code was just scattered through the application. We took it over briefly but it was a nightmare to work on and we found a SQL injection vulnerability. So as kindly as possible we told the client that his software was a piece of shit and the dev he hired had no idea what he was doing.

That’s just what people look like in Ferntree Gully.

Hmm, let’s work shop this. Slice out the island bit and let’s make that into its own move.

• Get rid of the cannibals, let’s make the island deserted, there’s no one left for the unlimited chess games, so let’s have him just go a bit nuts for a few years.
• Exchange the baboon with a volleyball.
• Let’s get Tom Hanks back.

Oh wait…

Ah damn that’s cool.

In New South Wales Australia, back in the commercial whaling days, a pod of Orca used to help the whalers round up the big whale species the whalers were after so they could be easily harpooned, once they had the whale back to land and cut up they would gift the tongue to the Orcas as payment.

Jurassic Park 3 when I was 9 for a friend’s birthday. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for weeks. I’m not really haunted by it any more but the scene where the skeleton in the parachute swings out of the tree is seared into my brain.

What a coincidence, I’m a proud resident of one of Australia’s only four states.

Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

The good old milky milk.

C# because I used to work for a company building asp.net web apps and now I know it too well that it’s just easier.

I also really like kotlin and that’s what most of my professional development is in now, but I find the kotlin coroutine library no match for dotnet’s Task API, so I’m not sure I could switch for my private projects.

I don’t mind some of them but the obnoxious subtitles, they just put me off so much and the video controls that are just always there getting in the way.

It’s really cool and I love the concept but doing basic things like chamfers are super slow and clunky so I just use freecad, which has support for openscad but also has conventional CAD paradigms.

Why can’t Gabe take over the US government.

Well this was definitely an entirely US problem and didn’t affect any other countries. Eggs are totally a normal price and easily available here in Australia.

Because people who are addicted go for the same hit of nicotine each time, therefore if there is less nicotine in each cigarette they will have to smoke more cigarettes to get their usual hit.
