"People of Earth. Our planet is dying. We need your help."
So we came together, built a starship and sent them our best leaders and our finest minds, an army of MBA credentialed consultants equipped with case studies for every situation.
It was a one way journey.
Their civilisation still collapsed, of course, but ours is now thriving.

Sure it was a shock discovering that there was a mistake in the first line of the Constitution of the United States of America.
It was supposed to read "The Wee People" instead of "We the people".
But you've got to admit that being the world's first fairy democracy armed with nuclear weapons is pretty cool.

@npub10et…r80k It's called a government agency with a national footprint and never enough funding for its aspirations.

Went to the office for half a day today. Hot desk, just me and the laptop, no working dock, keyboard or monitor. If I complain they'll probably send me to the office on the other side of the city with a 2 hour commute one way.
They move us around. Give us offices, take them away. Build teams, destroy teams. The pay stays the same regardless.
After 23 years working for the organisation, I know what works for me and what doesn't. WFH works, hot desks don't.
Maybe it's different for you.

@npub1afz…wdvg You might like to try getting him into coding for microcontrollers. They can produce tangible outputs quickly without the frustration of UX.

@npub1afz…wdvg So who committed the crime?
It must be there in the sickness policy somewhere if it was turned into a podcast.

Mathematics: This equation is true for spheres that belong to the defined set.
Physics: To use this equation we assume a perfectly spherical cow.
Economics: This equation is always true and anybody who is not a spherical cow is acting irrationally.

Very disappointed that Raygun and Tom Craig, the cocaine hockey player, weren't selected as the Australian flag bearers for the closing ceremony.

Canadians this morning: "Did you know that Celine Dion is..."
Rest of the world (exhausted): "Yes we know. Thank God it wasn't Bryan Adams."
Canadians: "Did you know that Nickelback are..."
Rest of the world: "Arrrrghhhhhhh!"

"It's not working."
"Have you tried restarting it?"
"I've cycled the power several times and it doesn't even show the recovery options."
"Not the power, silly. Time. Sometimes time gets stuck on a Monday and needs to be rebooted."

Australian billionaires are pretty shithouse compared to their foreign counterparts. We have a billionaire that pays people to swim in shallow water and complain about art.
In other countries they to go to the depths of the ocean in carbon fibre submersibles and never return.

Dear Kid's School,
I am distinctly unexcited that you have decided to partner with the Salvation Army to raise funds for charity and question how this complies with the school's attempts to support a culture of diversity and tolerance.
Regards,
Me.
Damn, now I have to look up examples of this behaviour rather than just file under "Don't donate to the Salvos".

I've got an apocalypse scheduled at 10.30, but I'm free after lunch. Want to meet up then?
"But I'll be dead!"
Yes, but it's a zombie apocalypse, so you'll likely still be moving.

Now I'm back in Sydney my loathing of cunts in giant utes, luxury cars and green P plates has returned with a vengeance.
