Honouring a timeless tradition by getting sick the day after a contract finishes

Fully agree. A great photo is a great photo regardless of the tech behind it. But "great" is also subjective to the mood and circumstances that led to the photo. That is mostly my beef with phone cameras - more often than I'd like they aren't capturing moments as I remember them happening

Haha yeah I came to the understanding that sometimes I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to doing the convenient thing.
I'm finding that just having a camera with me makes me want to use it to justify carrying the extra weight. It's definitely a good step to take!

I have had DSLR and mirrorless cameras that I love, but the convenience of a phone camera always seems to win out.
That said, all of the increased post-processing colour tweaks or unintentional compositing on modern phones left me with a bad taste. The new AI additions that capture moments that didn't happen were the last straw though, so I decided to upgrade to a phone with a 'bad' camera.
The upshot is that I always carry a camera in my bag now

I'm new to the language, but my understanding as a linguistics and grammar nerd:
Belum is an imperfective aspect marker. Here, it's showing that the verb is incomplete or hasn't started. Sudah is almost the opposite. Being the perfective marker, it's showing the action is completed.
Putting them together introduces a question condition. Literally: Bill ours complete being-paid incomplete?
Aspect is muddy in English so the translation uses yet to signify the possibility of either outcome

Happy father's day to all the dads out there.
Mine, sadly, isn't around anymore. A couple of years ago I wrote this. I've posted it before, but it gives me comfort sharing the man he was. One more time won't hurt.
