  @StudChud @Seagoon_ Ugh. The racism. It burns. As does the terrible photoshop blur to remove the word "cuntry" from the ABC's photo of the defaced sign

  @PeelerSheila @melbaboutown Not to mention the way the outsize returns from property investment once you're rorting the tax breaks and negative gearing means it is sucking investment money out of the productive sectors of the economy, and thus hurting the skills base and our capacity to continue as an advanced economy.

  @mysticgreg Yeah if the whole family are flying, no checked luggage, the difference is worth the misery. If it's just one ticket, real airlines ftw.

  @Force_majeure123 @Seagoon_ on noodles I love to drizzle a little sesame oil and lemon juice over then after they've gone into my bowl

  @Baku woah that's an interesting backstory thanks. I was thinking like "me=stable parents, him=military parents" level of detail lol.
  I was asking coz I've noticed that I (child of hippies, always movin') have a lot in common with children of military folks (always posted elsewhere, always movin'), and wondered if you'd hit a parallel dynamic.

  @Baku @Seagoon_
  If you don't mind me asking, what (broadly speaking) are your respective backgrounds that led to you both moving round a lot and changing schools >yearly etc?

  @CEOofmyhouse56 we're so surrounded by screens... I just never saw the point in buying another screen where someone else schedules the programming.

  @Gibsonisafluffybutt @TinyBreak
  I have been internal IT for four years after a long time at MSPs, mostly on-site but sometimes off.
  Overall, yes, my career progressed slower. But I was able to work for client companies in a wide variety of sectors, and that helped me understand what sector I wanted to be in, so, swings & roundabouts.
