@MeanElevator @Eagle
We do the same... I just hope I never have to discover where my line is for maintaining contact despite them turning into right wingers like Mary Leunig had to... - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐝 Thursday, September 26, 2024 1 month ago:

@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.

@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. - Comment on Daily discussion thread: 🥧 Thursday, May 16, 2024 6 months ago:

@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.
