Probably the 72 year old Ferguson tractor I own, new parts are so easy to find and usually very reasonably priced. It’s also designed to be easily user serviceable and user repairable.

It feels like it to me.

We finished working on what we had already agreed to do and then cancelled the contract, the client was quite understanding.

At a small company I used to work for we agreed to take over the management system for someone trading physical resources. The guy that originally wrote it was self taught. We did a hand over with him where he took us through the code base. It was written in dotnet but it was a huge mess, he had blended multiple different dotnet paradigms, there was mixed business and UI code all over the place, large chunks of html were stored in the db, db code was just scattered through the application. We took it over briefly but it was a nightmare to work on and we found a SQL injection vulnerability. So as kindly as possible we told the client that his software was a piece of shit and the dev he hired had no idea what he was doing.

That’s just what people look like in Ferntree Gully.

Not that I would have worked for that scummy company to begin with but that would be a huge deal breaker.

There has also been a huge push into developing countries by the tobacco industry, so while smoking rates are way down in the developed world they are climbing elsewhere thanks to poorer education and lax government regulation.

I flip warthogs personally.

Ah damn that’s cool.

In New South Wales Australia, back in the commercial whaling days, a pod of Orca used to help the whalers round up the big whale species the whalers were after so they could be easily harpooned, once they had the whale back to land and cut up they would gift the tongue to the Orcas as payment.

Uh, "Look at my collection of my own merch.*

Nah, power off the oligarchs too

Jurassic Park 3 when I was 9 for a friend’s birthday. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for weeks. I’m not really haunted by it any more but the scene where the skeleton in the parachute swings out of the tree is seared into my brain.

What a coincidence, I’m a proud resident of one of Australia’s only four states.

Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

The good old milky milk.

Die Hard with a Vengeance. I’m leaning towards Samuel L Jackson but Bruce Willis would be a close second.

It’s like once you’ve had Extra Krispy

You’ll never go back again

My mother has the same first name as her mother. I don’t at all understand why, she has always just been called by her second name.

It’s irrelevant because I’m never buying anything that piece of shit touches.
