![4-panel comic. (1) [person in front of window, shaped like a trapezoid with a curved top] This weekend, I had to make an oversized screen for a porch window. (2) [person sitting with hands on head surrounded by images of assorted equations and measurements] It involved countless tiny problems, each somehow way harder than it should be. Oblique angles. Curved edges. Noncoplanarity. (3) [person in front of window with screen on it, with building detritus strewn on the ground] ...I solved them all. I measured precisely. I did trigonometry.

Labor’s Measuring What Matters is a worthy goal – but one that has utterly failed to live up to its promise | Greg Jericho
The wellbeing framework has become little more than a data dump – but at least it highlights how little stock we should put in productivity figures

For many years Open Australia Foundation ran electionleaflets.org.au
It takes time and dedication to run projects.
We want to know: *Should @oaf.org.au continue to put resources into providing this service?*

Unfortunately electionleaflets.org.au is down.
It does sort of still exist in the Trove Pandora archive: webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20100723...
But it's clunky.
It's not been active for many many years. So, is this something you lot care about? Or should we just allow to sunset?

I pity the man who picks an open fight with Anne. She does not pull punches and isn't nice about it neither. She will disembowel you and hang your entrails on a fence as a warning to others. But Stupid Seymour has decided "but she wouldn't do that to me!"

Monday Night Bluesky, question for you: Does anyone else remember the trend in mid-2000s cop shows where women's bulletproof vests had scoop necks? Like they had to be kinda sexy?
I swear this happened on Criminal Minds, but I don't know if other shows did it too.
