Australian Public Servant so can't post much. Interested in da news, politics, and BJJ mostly.
It is culturally inappropriate for me to have to self-promote in the workplace.

it's real difficult to pin cats' hips and shoulders safely, they sort of rotate within their bodies and get their underhooks back immediately. I find cats instinctively play guard, while my pitbull x dog loves to play top, it's very hard to prevent her from getting her head above mine.

sponge over the jawbone to hit as much of the skin as possible. You'll repaint the jawbone itself later as it's higher level. Carefully sink some brown wash in the space between the face and the jawbone, it will cover the impossible to reach areas and frame the face nicely.

Oh man that sucks it’s like the second worst noise behind an infant crying in terms of stuff that keeps you awake. Especially when they take the piss and start crowing at like 3am

He’s a real estate guy. He wants to put his name on some new territory, it makes sense to him that it’s the sort of thing a strong leader does. Hence this Greenland/Panama/Canada as 51st state stuff.

the AskHistory subreddit is what you are after, and you'll see why AskHistorians does what it does. Removing low-effort / off-topic answers is vital to allowing time-consuming effortposts space to breathe.
