Same here! I thought it must’ve been for the Brisbane Olympics, not the ones bloody 4 years ago.

I prefer bands like Skepticism, Impaled Nazarene, and Desecresy personally but each to their own 😉

Wait til you hear their music

As usual it is a matter of education and normalisation. I’m a rock climber and am surrounded by shredded people a lot of the time. I’m sitting at around 18-20% body fat which is high for the sport but I am considerably leaner than the guy in your photo.

I can absolutely tell that he is overweight (even with clothes) but that’s because I have invested a lot of time into learning about health and fitness and spend most of my time with people who have a ‘healthy’ BMI. If all you see are overweight and obese people every day then of course you will look at this guy and think he looks perfectly healthy (which he might well be but that’s another discussion).

Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

We’ve been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.

Got to speak with a guy who was stationed there over the winter. He said of the ~15 or so winter staff it was mostly engineering types, with the majority of the scientists there just in the summer months. Seemed like a pretty cool (heh) gig, but not too surprising that there’s a dearth of linux machines imo.

I completely agree, and in general working with email programmatically sucks. MIME is a mimefield.

We unironically do this with people looking to get temporary working visas in Australia. It’s wild.

I’ve had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell comes to mind. A Jesuit priest is the only survivor of a first-contact flight to an alien world and returns horribly disfigured in mind and body and refuses to talk about what happened. We slowly learn what happened to everyone as the story unfolds. Great SF novel and not religious, although it explores religion.

What a great read, thanks!
