@liztai It's certainly not a uniquely Asian thing. In fact, it reminds me of the promoters of generative AI, built on ingesting the works of others.

@liztai What annoyed me was the disdainful attitude that "You are stupid wasting time creating your own thing. You should just copy someone else." Forgetting that someone has to put the time and effort into creating it in the first place.
It's very disheartening.

I never knew that porcupines were the mortal enemy of paleontologists.
Bone collectors that gnaw on them.

Not a big fan of people who identify with Novak Djokovic's views.

I wonder if the passengers on the Indian Pacific Full Journey program had to sign a waiver that said they may be featured on the Viceland channel and therefore be consider vice lords.

Every corner of the washing line is full. Clothes hung late in the day, they are still damp. Ominous storm clouds approach...
"Didn't you see the forecast for rain and storms this afternoon?"
"It was sunny! Maybe it will skip us."
The clothes line is beneath the veranda deck...

Woke up at 9 this morning. I also woke up at 1am after a nightmare about a miniature face changing stabby Terminator and couldn't go back to sleep until 4am, but the sleep in was nice.

Not sure whether to complain about Queenslanders who try to contact me at the end of the day because they've forgotten that were finish an hour ahead of them due to daylight savings, or to encourage them to do it so I can forget about it the next day.

Naturally, they'll contact you after (your) hours on the last day before they head off on leave!

I wonder whether Americans would find being called a Nazi or a National Socialist more insulting.

"Did Joe Biden ever star in a Christmas movie? No. I was in a Christmas movie. You may have seen it. It was called Home Alone 2. Great movie. All the critics agree. I had a big role in that movie. Would have won an Oscar but the woke leftists in Hollywood refused to give one to me. We're going to get rid of all them and make Hollywood great again. You should watch Home Alone 2 at Christmas. You'll love it."

I'm sad to report that I am the victim of a conspiracy.
Every time I find a breakfast cereal that I like the manufacturer stops making it, the supermarket stops stocking it, the price is jacked up so high that I can't afford it or they vary the ingredients to add honey or sultanas.

Don't remove IT user functionality or tell the user that you will do so, unless you have a viable alternative for them. Understand their needs first and have a plan of action for addressing them.

Remembering the times when my boss labelled all of the variables "Fred" in his Excel VBA scripts and when my Excel spreadsheets was irreversibly corrupted after I put a poster of Bill Gates getting hit in the face with a cream pie above my PC.

On one hand I'm happy we didn't have any politicians or special guests at the school presentation last night. On the other, if some politicians suffered from the heat in the non-airconditioned school hall they might be more amenable to increasing public school funding.

Scorching outside in Sydney. Somebody turned up the dial on solar fusion.
We need to suck more of that stuff down the wires.

This afternoon we will have our final IT management update for the year. The managers will tell how projects are winding down and that we should take some time to rest and recuperate.
Meanwhile, other people in the organisation are dumping big projects so they can "hit the ground running in the new year and take advantage of quiet times for IT support."
