these Young Male Christians should form some sort of Association, then they could offer services beyond gymnasiums and shower facilities, such as short-term lodging at which it might be fun to stay

Great talk. Key takeaway: if a practice can survive the open source model (run for decades, constant turnover, rotating leadership, no authority hierarchy) then it will work on your team 🤝

"I think if you wore more hoodies people would be more accurate about how technical you are" is very seriously intended advice I've been given and bro. There is not a powerful enough hoodie in the world.

sometimes I wonder if people in other fields have any clue what we go through as women in computational fields... (graph from: www.npr.org/sections/mon...)

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

$450 for jousting sticks!? Tell him he's DREAMIN'!! *new* Daryl Kerrigan fresh from '97 🏡 | prints/tees: tinyurl.com/bd8xvv7u ✈️

Behind him is his iconic red-roofed suburban house, a greyhound dog, trees, and an airport control tower. The background is pale blue with red-and-cream retro stripes. Bold yellow text reads: “Tell him he’s dreamin’!” in a vintage-style font.

Reading coverage of the Victorian Budget and seriously, we give far too much credence to the wrecked and corrupt ratings agencies that helped cause the GFC and suffered absolutely zero consequences. Oh no, they're spending extra GST revenue on health instead of paying down debt. Yeah f*ck off.

Came for the comments on East vs West NC bbq and was not disappointed Takes me back to the time a bunch of colleagues all brought their regional bbq to Chicago and we had a taste-off. The best way to resolve these issues 😁

Meanwhile in Australia you cannot use cheques. There's one remaining bank here that will accept bank cheques from countries like US, UK and Canada where they still insist on producing them

Yup driving from Melbourne to Canberra I was surprised how dry it is. Would have expected to hear more about the very obvious drought. Heard about the floods in Qld

This is quite an extraordinary table from Streem showing how many seats each party would have won if their share of seats matched their share of media coverage during the campaign. You're not imagining it. The Murdoch press et al didn't shut up about Dutton. Lucky no-one was listening. #auspol

Not only is this true, there are 33 whole-ass mentions of this in the script and each one is freaking hilarious whills.nu/4/sw4.html#h...

She hands him a dish, and he grunts an embarrassed reply.
BERU (CONT'D)
Luke, you've hardly touched
your dinner. Have some bum-bum
extract. It's very mild.
OWEN
(to Luke)
The force of the Bogan is strong,
and if you don't feel you can
make it, you probably won't.
LUKE
I've never even been past this
planet...and I never thought I'd
be going alone.
Suddenly I feel very small --
and well...desperate.

LUKE
Because a terrible thing happened.
During one of his lessons a young
PADAWAN-JEDI, a boy named Darklighter,
came to know the evil half of the
force, and fell victim to the spell
of the dreaded Bogan. He ran away
from his instructor and taught the
evil ways of the Bogan Force to a
clan of Sith pirates, who then
spread untold misery throughout
the systems. They became the per-
sonal bodyguards of the Emperor.
The Jedi were hunted down by these
deadly Sith knights. With every
Jedi death, contact with the Ashla
grows weaker, and the force of the
Bogan grows more powerful.

LUKE
No, no, there's a debris chute.
It's the Bogan force making you
feel that way. Don't give up
hope...fight it!
HAN
It's no use, it's no use.
The giant hinge bolts on the blast-shield door begin to pop
as the force of the Sith knights grows stronger. Luke fires
off a rapid series of shots and half-drags Han to the small
grate in the wall.
LUKE
Well, we're going anyway. Think
of good things. Drive the Bogan
from your mind.

18. INT. REBEL SPACEFIGHTER - COCKPIT CORRIDOR
Deak Starkiller cuts down several troops who make a fren-
zied, suicidal charge with laser swords.
TROOPS
The Bogan! The Bogan!
They are no match for the incredibly agile young Jedi. For
an eerie moment, all is deathly quiet as a huge darker figure
appears in the sub-hallway. The remaining stormtroopers bow
low toward the doorway. An awesome, seven-foot BLACK KNIGHT
OF THE SITH makes his way into the blinding light of the cock-
pit area. This is LORD DARTH VADER, right hand to the MASTER
OF THE SITH. His sinister face is partially obscured by his
flowing black robes and grotesque breath mask, which are in
sharp contrast to the fascist white armored suits of the
Imperial stormtroopers. The troops instinctively back away
from the imposing warrior.
