The prince is completely incompetent at asking the main character to marry him but to be fair she's stubbornly ignoring every attempt that veers even close to being transparent.

In the final ep of this c-drama they have innovated trying clothes on without having to pay for them, custom alterations on pre-made clothes, and paying in installments if you can't afford to pay upfront.

I love zotero (and both history and science) and this is awesome

at least there's generally fairly decent information available on water tables and earthquake risks these days! (and yet, they still build subdivisions in flood-prone areas.... whyyyyyyy)

000

I've been told this is one of the few cities in the world that has cheap houses on the beach and expensive houses by the airport. I'm in Phillipstown and even here the water table is uncomfortably close to the surface, though not nearly as bad as my parents place by the river.

I only came back because it's where all my family is and we looked pretty carefully at risk maps to find a compromise on location lol. I would absolutely not live anywhere around Brighton, it's absurd.

It might be because the Dressmaker mod scene is largely fabric patterns and therefore easy to generate or this is just true of modding in general now but from what I'm seeing it's VERY anti-AI. If you don't specify something's handmade or AI-free you *will* get asked and nexusmods has filters for it

The main character and her sister were forced off a cliff again. They were both found alive but her sister died after a big emotional moment talking. But, when they jumped off her sister was already stabbed in the stomach and bleeding from the mouth, so I'm calling pre-existing condition.

I've only got a couple episodes of Ni Chang left and I think when it's done I'll pause to catch up on Western tv. Netflix emailed that they've put two more seasons of Brokenwood up, and there's a new season of Silo plus Ted Lasso.

I do remember summer holidays in Queenstown when I was a slightly older kid when it would still be daylight at like 10pm and I'd be resentfully lying in bed being tired but also wanting to be up lol

I saw a very similar conversation about age and physical jobs in relation to AI adoption. there's a lot of push for people to move to jobs that AI can't automate... so we're even moreso creating a massive underclass of people who are forced to work until they can't anymore with no support afterwards

a lot of them already can't make it to 65, or even close. not a lot of 60 year olds working construction yards or forestry.

streamer found the mods for dressmaker and has been experimenting with cardboard and bubblewrap

I could buy a Watties microwave butter chicken for $4. having had other Watties microwave meals I'll probably stick with buying the Kung Food ones whenever they're on special for $12.

at least say what's "bad" about it. "I'm enjoying it even though the controls can be confusing" or whatever.

an awful lot of disabled people don't get tax cuts

I love and understand Dusty

I like to collect things that sharks are older than (not the physical items sadly, my place lacks good storage space), this is a good new one!

I graduated 11 years ago and yet I feel like I'm thinking way more about social policy now than at any point in the last decade lol. (also way more than most of the people in government...)

Priyance asked Chris Bishop for modeling and there was none when it comes to disabled ppl - this govt only did modeling on cost to govt, not on impacts on disabled ppl

we'll put it in the newspaper that you're not owned

what the fuck though at least there's that note at the end, I guess? but what the fuck.

exactly! especially if the patient also has caregiving duties for other people as well.

with proper funding they'd be less stretched, of course. I don't think we have the population density to support specialised cancer centres in every city, but we could do a lot more to recognise the value of patients not having to travel too far.

the big companies can just keep selling things back and forth to each other, like the apocryphal trans $20

absolutely I have so much respect for anyone doing that or similar jobs in terrible conditions

I will have to keep looking for the curtain rail fittings though and worst case pay the adhd tax. in the meantime I'll just retreat to my bedroom in the late afternoon/evening to escape the sun. last year it wasn't as bad because there were trees along the neighbours' driveway.

000

since I had the tools etc out though I did re-do the screws on my desk that goes over top of my chair so it's no longer sagging on one side and now it looks like it's on the opposite angle because I got used to it lol

100

it's been getting super hot during the afternoon when the sun shines in so I decided to actually put the curtain rail up before I have to go out twice in two days and use all my energy and... I can't find the fittings to attach the rod. fully my fault for being a mess but annoying.

the only real reason I don't want to go to tourist locations when (hopefully) I go to Europe is crowds. but that depends on the location, there's some tourist things that aren't that bad.

yeah, exactly. books do tend to get longer through a series a lot of the time, which is probably more because they get more complex and need more detail but it does also show that people will commit to longer books from an author once they're more invested.

from memory I feel like The Stand is about 800 pages and *no one* is picking that as their first Stephen King book. that's a book you read when you already like an author a lot.

one thing about me that consistently seems to shock people is that I do actually believe that all people have the right to live in freedom, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, disability, or age. like I do actually believe that and I apply it to *everyone*
