Did you get the ABC Vote Compass follow-up survey? I feel pretty uncomfortable being asked to rate Asians, Women, Jews, and Indigenous folks.

I bought 3 California Rolls today at my local sushi place, and as normal they gave me 3 little soy sauce fish, one for each roll.

I asked for extra soy sauce, how many extra soy sauce fish do you think I should have received?

My day job is the business manager of a primary school. There was only one party that left all their crap behind after the weekend.

This shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone here, but:

Shopping on woolworths.com.au? If you use a browser extension that blocks facebook (like I do - using Firefox which has it by default) then the site does not work at all -- search for an item, and it just spins and nothing happens. Allow facebook access to your browsing on woolworths.com.au so they can track you across the web, and suddenly everything on woolworths.com.au starts working again. (With Firefox you can use a "Facebook container" which allows facebook to track you only on that site and no others -- still not happy about it!)

They are tracking you far and wide across the web, watching your shopping habits even when you aren't logged in to facebook at all. It should be illegal, but they have very deep pockets to donate to governments all over the world.

#DeleteFacebook <- this means delete the entire company and codebase from existence, not the FB app, but do that too!

I had a banana seat wheelie bike like this when I was a kid and it was the coolest thing I ever owned. I’m thinking about getting one for my daily commute. For context I work in my neighbourhood school and my ride to school would take about 5 minutes. 😄

This is is exactly what it was like watching Revenge of the Nerds from 1984

This is why you should read The Guardian - an excellent take on last night's "debate" by Katharine Murphy. Her writing had me in stitches and then I realised what's at stake and felt very sad.

This is the crossover I didn't know I wanted.

Can anyone recommend a good NBN router for the home that does *not* have a wireless router in it?

I'm looking for a simple modem that plugs into the NBN port and then has at least one ethernet port, and that's all.

I'm thinking the Vigor130 or Billion BiPAC 8900X but both of these are pretty old chipsets.

/me mutes "scotus" "abortion" for my mental health today.
