  • Yesterday I fell off an armless couch that I thought had arms while trying to avoid being in the background of a photo at a work do. I wasn't even drunk, I just didn't want to be photographed hunched over a tray of food like a goblin.

    Today I've got a nice bruise coming up on my arm. And I somehow broke my favourite hair clip. Roll on holiday fortnight.

  • That came out awesome!

  • I successfully distracted our scrum lead and entertained the rest of them

  • Convinced a couple train station pigeons to get on camera with me via judicious application of birdseed

  • If you don't mind a bit of piracy there's places that'll print your design on a shirt. But it does disenfranchis3 the original artist.

  • Today I attempt to bring a pigeon to stand up (virtually, not in person, I'm not that insane).

  • There was a a bake sale at my work today. I don't know who did the oaty ginger slice so I can't ask for the recipe.

  • Eh, in project work 6 cc'd keep informed stakeholders to one needs this for their component of the work is pretty standard. Especially if it's a lots of moving parts project and some of the stakeholders are 2 for 1s like a delivery lead and SBA.

  • The perfume / cologne thing - I'm not like, super sensitive but there's a couple of brands out there that make me feel like my lungs are gonna collapse if I keep breathing them. Just some kind of chemical in there or something. It's literally physically distressing, especially if I'm already feeling headachy or a bit tired.

    And sometimes it's not that, it's just the smell is so thick I can taste it from feet away. I just don't want my mouth tasting like whatever it is they're wearing.

  • At least I can WFH in extremely comfortable but very unprofessional clothes while lying on the couch.

  • If you have full insurance totalled might be simpler than repairs

  • Something bit my foot! Literally the first day I wear sandals. I mean, yay, summer?

  • It's almost as if her target audience for it don't read.

  • I got a rona jab and now my arm hurts. Small price to pay for not catching the rona again.

  • Modern monitors do black (pixel off), and white (all three colours at once), as well as grayscale (method varies depending on display type). All of this means that images are displayed in the colors they contain. Or in this case, don't contain.

    Grayscale will display differently to black and white or sepia or full colour.

  • A white south african guy is racist? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

  • It's kind of up to you if you're happy with it, but it does seem more stark now.

  • Yeah a lot of people here are taking this weirdly personally. I mean the whole thing is terrible and innocent people are getting hurt, but also the whole situation is the result of complex geopolitics going back to WWI and even earlier. It's basically a multi-generational family domestic.

    It feels to me like antisemites and islamophobics here in NZ are just super turned on by the conflict, as well as there being a big contingent who don't know the long history and only see what's happening right now and they think they need to pick a side, like it's football teams or something. And then you end up with people here in NZ needing police intervention because they're so worked up about it.

  • Okay, here's one I found on my phone and desaturated just now.

    Then here's the version where I upped the contrast, decreased black point and shadows, and increased white point.

    Colour version for reference
