Ah, bugger. Hope it's an easy one.

Oh no!

Oh damn :(

Hope you aren't feeling too bad from the symptoms and you get better soon.

Oh noes 🙁. You tried....

Damn, I'm sorry!

:(

Probably inevitable…

ohh :(

I hope you get to rest and recover well!

You did all you could. I hope you have few symptoms and a speedy recovery <3

Anti - Clarity thread:

Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.

We have tests for driver's licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.

I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance

thank you. We're doing our best but he is a handful. 🤣

It really breaks my heart when I see this. I once saw a woman aggressively screech ‘shut up you cnts’ to her two toddlers crying in a supermarket. Seriously what chance do these kids have? When youth crime is committed, people often comment ‘where are the parents’. Well the parents are deadshits who don’t care and were probably doing the same thing when they were kids. We can’t expect these kids will get help from their families, but no other options for ‘parenting’ are available other than foster care. All you can do is hope that against the odds, as adults they are able to overcome the shitty birth lottery they got, and start a normal life. The ones who succeed are truly amazing.

Fucking Alphabet changing the shortcuts for their Chromebooks and suites from the accepted standards -shakes fist- pretentious af

understand academic journal articles

I'm not reading the room quite correctly but I just forgot why I went to the fridge.. twice... so I believe in you :)

of course it's harder to learn new things as we get older but it's not from any lack of ability or stamina

At an older age humans have a vast bank of knowledge and complex world views that explain and unify all the knowledge.

Each new piece of knowledge had to be tested for correctness and whether it fits in the world view. The world view is also tested to see if it is still the best explanation for all the knowledge acquired. The more knowledge and more complex the world view the more testing.

It can be tiring.

I hear you. Just concentrating on staying on top of stuff is exhausting

Trauma and covid will do that. Don’t blame yourself, it’s got us all

I wish I was that organised! Although I have done more than I thought but it still is like pulling teeth.

Well done! It's a huge step that will pay off in spades ❤️

That's a gold medal performance, well done!

does wendy's still exist?

Frothy

I had a dream about cars too

I dreamt about small planes and helicopters, that they were flying very close overhead, like 20 feet up.

better than that monster who was playing music off a Bluetooth speaker the other week. Hopefully it means HR have taken them up to the 25th floor and pulled a Russia on them.

Each to their own I guess, I much prefer a quiet office.

We have a visitor here once every week or so who is one of those people that seems to think silence is a bad thing to be avoided, so it's -endless- chatter, it's a nightmare when I'm trying to concentrate.

The odd bit of conversation is fine, but he seems to be deeply offended by silence and it drives us nuts!

I’d like that compared to everyone wearing headphones and being in random teams meetings all day. Can’t concentrate. Have to wear headphones and play music louder than I’d like.

are you my toddler? "dad just washed the floors? Time to rub a crumbly biscuit all over them!" "Hello chicken I liked yesterday? Have you and the ground met before?"

Spring is coming!

Grateful for my family not being too sick, and for the sunshine so I can put out some washing while I'm at home 😀

Grateful for this lovely weather - drive to client's was much more pleasant and took ten minutes less

I'm grateful for the time I get to spend with my kids. I look them to the park on Monday and took turns taking them down the slide. They had such fun saying 'Bye bye' to each other before going down. It feels like I'm in the good old days right now and I'm lucky enough to know it

Such a great film! I don't watch it that often, but I listen to the score regularly. It's one of my favourite "I need to concentrate and get stuff done" albums of all time.

I could be doing homemade garlic bread with a side of orange for dessert.

Look on the bright side too. I did eat chocolate cake for breakfast the other day.

It's so nice. The skateboarders were similar yesterday, you can tell they're all friends and they just really love the sport.

I'm slightly concerned that these climbers might be part-spider though. Crazy skills.

I'm working from home today and have very little to do for once. Nobody monitors my teams status. You bet I'm going to go on some walks

Here you go love

I agree, it's incredible how much of cat body language translates from small to big cat species. But it is also important to note that many of those big cats in those videos were raised from kittens, generally. They might not be able to be released, for medical or socialisation issues, and it is better for their welfare to remain looked after. So their body language and how they act is influenced by their proximity to familiar humans. Wild big cats would communicate similarly between themselves, but would not be able to be captive and happy. Enrichment can only go so far when taking an animal like that from the wild, hence why they always try to rehabilitate and release of possible.

Interesting Cat Fact: big cats (tigers, lions, etc) don't purr or meow. They growl and roar, grumble. But the cheetah does both; it is essentially a big small-cat.

I always like to imagine cats throughout history, and their owners kissing them and being annoyed with them. Like that cat that walked on that monks writings from the 15th century. It's just so wholesome and cute to think this learned fellow was writing and his cat just walked across the ink and his page. Immortalised forever. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/...

One of my best memories was visiting with some people in India that had a pet Lynx rescue with a spinal injury. It was semi-tame. About the size of a Labrador. It had quite a strong playful bite but never broke my skin. I got to play with it for about four hours. It's claws and teeth were large enough to no longer be sharp points like domestic cats.

Boyo used to have a ServalX before they became totally illegal here. The stories are neverending as was the couch replacement. Not a favourite person of the Council runaway run.

Yes?

An avalanche of Mexican food por favor

Noodles please chef. Lots of noodles.

All the fruit please and a blue heaven milkshake.

I suddenly feel like some sausages.
