No it’s a well-studied woman thing.

“… women tend to be underestimated more. They tend to be interrupted, more talked over more. They have to prove their competence more and we often feel uncomfortable when they're in positions of authority.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelleking/2021/10/26/the-authority-gap-why-women-are-still-taken-less-seriously-than-men/?sh=3ed8223e634d

This is how Silo started. Just saying.

TIL Australian Sushi is a thing! It never occurred to me that they don’t have the easy to hold rolls in other parts of the world. I think they make up like 10% of my diet haha.

Yeah it’s a lonely life tho

Looks like it’s time to introvert again!

Great drive from Norris

“Before going into beta” is HIGHLY optimistic lol

Good to hear!

Microwave Watt?? Converts cooking instructions to whatever your actual microwave is (mine’s a shitty 700w beast so I have to add about 50% cooking time to most things). http://www.microwavewatt.com/

For sure, good luck!

The kindle fee is 13.99 aud/month for me which is pricy by my standards. The library however is totally free but it doesn’t have every book I want. So it’s either wait for a physical copy at the library, just buy it outright, or take it off the reading list.

I tried KU for a month or two but I couldn’t find enough good books to read to justify the cost. Instead I just got a digital library subscription and read on my phone/tablet.

Yeah I noticed that everyone has jumped on the “Australia is racist” bandwagon. I think there is that element but I’m optimistic that the referendum failed for other reasons and we can all move on.

$2.50. Gluten free bread was 50c extra but I think they forgot to charge us for that.

Mass produced Knick knacks. Those useless ornaments that just seem to accumulate on bookshelves, fireplaces and cabinets.

Awesome to see Piastri get some success under his belt. I was worried the team orders would be to let Norris pass for 2nd.

I’ve always heard Wodehouse mentioned in the context of other authors like Pratchett and Adams.

What book would you recommend as a good starter?

Thanks, yeah just looking for something they can use that has some variety. Appreciate the input!

Hey Melbourne people. What’s the best food delivery service down there that I could send a sick friend a voucher for? Uber eats?

The closest polling place to me isn’t doing snags or sweets according to the democracy sausage website. What an outrage! I have to travel further to get a decent feed! Anyway, onions on top of or under the snag?
