I’m in that headspace where I’m waiting for my food to arrive and one of the workers comes up to tell me I need a bottle opener for my Yuzu water (bless her), but my internal monologue is like “this better be important 🤯”

You could be mistaken for thinking that the whole pothole situation is manufactured 3AW/Murdoch nonsense, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes and it’s actually really bad.
Why did they just suddenly stop repairing potholes in country roads?

ChatGPT has done a lot of heavy lifting in terms of reminding me of the stuff that used to be my bread and butter 16 years and beyond ago. It's amazing how much Linux I actually remember after all this time.

I'm just winding up from a 5 day weekend. My original plan was to do an overnight camping trip to the high country, but the weather put that to an end.

It's been a hot minute since I have used Linux, talking about 16 years (apart from some isolated cases playing with the Mac OS BSD backend), and I'm pleased to know that I still remember a lot of what I walked away from back then.
