I have fallen to the Aramex/Fastway curse 😂 delivery person literally came to my address, took a picture of my door, and then said "couldn't deliver"
Only options are to wait for them to redeliver (take another photo of my door) or go to their depot to pick it up, defeating the point of delivery 😅

In Australia, I've just had to add my birthday to access my account.
I'm sure that most under 16s would be able to figure that one out if that's all you need to do.

So the social media ban for under 16s in Australia is almost here, and the news media is talking about the dopamine withdrawals like it's going to be a zero day event 🤣😂

Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

Yesterday I had my first skateboarding lesson. I managed to ride fakie (going backwards) properly, do a 180 kickturn, drop-in, and pump the bowl (going back and forth). It's amazing how much progress you can make with a little help.

Probably a good reminder to myself and others that if you have a public facing repo for demo purposes, having a contributing file and updated README does wonders.
A GitHub repo of mine that I use for AKS learning got some PRs which I suspect were raised in error, but I've added a contributing file clarifying that while I'm not accepting contributions today, you're free to fork your own and go nuts in your own repo: github.com/willvelida/m...
