Spot.on. my business has adopted an agile mindset across the entire org, but it’s still waterfall, because IT have so much governance in place and outsourcing contracts that prevent teams from actually working on things in a fluid and agile way. Every member of a squad is on multiple projects, plus our systems are so broad we cannot have a resource from each source system dedicated to a squad.

Secondly, no documentation? We moved from an on-prem Oracle DB to GCP so that we would have one central place for data and across all business units… there was no documentation and we had to spend the next 4 years reverse engineering the data marts because all the IP left the business… it took 4 years because of the previous point.

And because it’s big corporate business, you have to make it work otherwise you lose your big bonus etc etc

And don’t dare question the method

Same… 35kgs for me… I’ve put about 10kg.back.on…but im less active than I used.to be to get the weight off

Me, punk rock and metal. Mostly 90s punk bands and also some.newer pink bands, but typically those with the 90s skate punk …and funnily enough, one called ‘make war’.

Kids, Tay Tay, Olivia rodrigo, dua lipa, imagine dragons

Obtained my motorbike licensed recently…really enjoying learning how to get good at riding a motorcycle…I don’t get time.tonride as it is and I really need to make time to do slow manoeuvres as this is what is required to pass the next stage of licensing.

I love seeing live music, however, where I love it’s just not an option to do each week. I love listening to records… me and the kid put a record on when doing the housework…teaching them the ways!

Used to play video games every day for a few minutes…but haven’t played one in 5 months.

Love baking baguettes, couronnes, bagels, pizza

Mine would have to be Chanel 9 Neus from The Fast Show…90s UK sketch show with Paul Whitehouse. The whole segment cracks me up every time… they had one each episode. It’s done so well, and all without breaking character.heth-eth-eth-eth, meth-eth-eth, peth-eth-eth… Pi pis na… boutros boutros gali

Have also been a fan since '92! Fat Mike, and I know it wasn’t just him, but he kinda went off the rails there for a bit. For a while… it got me down…I guess it was a ploy to stay a little relevant, or to get out of a business deal.

Seasons in the abyss is my favourite slayer song, I think. It’s awesome

Well, if you’re not there to not not fuck spiders, then you’re there to fuck spiders. Simple, really

• Face like a dropped pie/chewed mintie/hat full of arseholes (un-attractive)
• Going off like prawns in the sun/frog in a sock (really good time or a raving loony)
• mad as a cut snake (Karen)
• I could eat the arse out of a dead rhino/dingo (really hungry)

Carlin: take your average person… half the world is dumber than that. (Or something to that effect)

do what’s right for you, it might hurt in the short term, but it will be worth it in the long term (this goes for most things…FOMO, parties, relations, job offers, school offers)

Don’t smoke. my father is dying…it’s not cool.

Eat right, exercise regularly. It takes time, your fitness won’t appear overnight (it takes months).

Brush your teeth and more importantly, floss/use picksters. Don’t eat sweet things 2 hours before bed.

Everyone’s different (so take what I say with a pinch of salt, the above might not be for you)

Coffee ,water, piece of fruit, a nut bar or loose nuts/berries mix. Meat and two veg in some sort of combo for dins

I have 2 kitties and this happened all the time. I had to introduce a third litter box for it to stop happening. And as others have said, clean them out every day. #poofreefloor

Meta… lol

Speedy

I’m not agym.go-er or a trainer… aerobic workouts. I lost 30kg over 12months just by walking 10000 purposeful steps a day and doing 2 rounds of interval training (HIIT) a night. Once my fitness came back/got some fitness, I started introducing weights… and more importantly, I watched what I ate. Specifically, i stopped all sometimes foods and stopped eating bread. This worked for me. But you can’t go from little to no exercise tomall the exercise. Work up to it

Someone clipping their nails

I live in major city and drove to work nearly every day…but I reckon it was never more than 25mins to work… 5 - 25km a day

I know I’ll get shit…I bought a 2004 Subaru Impreza new…and ran it for 15 I years…it never missed a beat. I put 110 thousand kilometres on it in that time. I loved driving it every time. Had it serviced when it needed. I sold it because I pivoted around a cement pole in a parking lot. Bit of damage to a door. Moved onto a WRX after that… again, it has never missed a beat. No issues whatsoever.

I dunno…the idea of nothing existed and then a big bang happened and all this shit coalesced and formed and it’s been here so long it’s all too far away. … I mean, WTF? Explain that? That leads to all sorts of potential… the dinosaurs were around for tens of millions of years. TENS!! OF MILLIONS!! I guess, human ancestors were here 6million years ago too.far out, nothing then something. Science says a big bang… like a pop test? Anyways, I think theres no room for ghosts and shit when there’s all the unexplored

I can’t think of any more examples, but bands that rework an old popular song and keep parts of the melody and make a new one. Both examples I know of are teen spirit/rape me by Nirvana… and linoleum/linewleum by nofx and are both, imo, reflections of what gained them a larger following. Can you name some more?
