Outlook on iOS is all but unusable since the latest version.

A notification of new email disappeared before I could click it. Doesn’t appear in notification list dragged down on desktop.
Can’t find it in Outlook.

NFI what they think “focused” means. Have to check both places, it’s nowhere.

Surprised this belt is labeled as “one size fits all”, didn’t think belts were the kind accessory that fitted like that.

True, 50 inch belt will go around most. Wouldn’t say it “fits” a 31 inch waist though.

A little longer and I cudda got 2 belts out of it.

I wear sweatpants when I fly 1st class.
Basically, look hobo-adjacent.

I want to make sure everyone knows I paid for it and it's not a free upgrade just because I dressed to look like I should be in 1st class.
People wear sweatpants when they fly because airlines turned it into a staggeringly uncomfortable experience for anyone over 5'5". Those who exclusively fly high-tier service don't know anything about this but are very offended they must now share a plane with inadequately tidy huddled masses.

What all Australian's will want to know @albomp.bsky.social is whether Harmony Gold will pay any royalties or income tax at all?

Or, will Harmony Gold just make donations to political parties & the Minerals Council instead of any benefit to Australians?

Stuck on Brisbane tarmac in the plane we landed in 30 mins ago.

Thunderstorm passing over has shutdown airport for a while.

Plane is jumping about like the rough turbulence we had descending through the clouds.

The “don’t know” label is gaslighting us.

They do know, it’s none of the above. They want better choices.

No doubt many who made a choice would also prefer a better choice.

It’ll read your mood and guide you to the perfect spot.

Mazda just invented vibe driving.

None of this “going where you need to be” malarky we used to use cars for.

But now there is basically no difference between the two major parties.

Full fascist & fascist-lite are not that different to most Australians.

By far the messiest of trades, Electricians.

Always a load of plastic waste left strewn across the grass.

This one particularly surprising amount of crap to install a generator inlet.

Oh , and 5G with 1 bar of signal is exactly the same as no signal.
Put it in airplane mode to save the battery and not burn my hand.
I can always tell when my iPhone has switched to 5G, it gets a really hot spot on the back and battery drains at a ridiculous rate.

Extinction is the first Liberal party policy I could actually vote for.
David Speers “what does it mean to be a Liberal today?”
Niki Savva “I don’t think anybody knows”🔥 Savva at her brutal best, says Libs are “disintegrating before our eyes” & that their internal war on Net Zero is not over, with Hastie claiming they may “become extinct” #Abcinsiders

The so-called scenic railway.

What a massive disappointment.
If you get booked in car 1, cancel and demand your money back.
Why they even sell these tickets is a scam.

Untouched by looters.
Until now.

Ancient people went to extraordinary lengths to rest in peace.

Scientists: Hey look what I found! Finders keepers!
Untouched by looters and sealed for centuries, the sarcophagus was found with its stone lid still fixed in place, secured by metal clamps and molten lead. When researchers carefully lifted the lid, they uncovered a complete skeleton surrounded by dozens of artifacts.
Archaeologists lift the lid on a 1,700-year-old Roman sarcophagus hidden beneath Budapest
Archaeologists in Budapest have unearthed a well-preserved Roman sarcophagus, revealing insights into the life of a young woman from 1,700 years ago.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Imagine working in an organisation where the most senior executive micro manages both the board and senior managers that report to the board.

That person’s only qualification to hold the position is that they fucked the founder.

If that sounds bad, you have no idea how bad.

It’s normal for cats to snuggle together.

Which is why, when there aren’t other cats, you’ll do.

This always reminds me of the mainly conservative businesses I’ve worked at where any failure was just about unforgivable. Any proposal had to have cast iron guarantee of costs & benefits.

We never innovated in those situations. Achieved easy goals & adequate results were very acceptable.

I have the option for tonight’s birthday dinner to only wear new birthday clothes, which I’ll do.

To strictly meet this goal does mean going commando.

Concrete tile rooves literally fall to bits just sitting there.

Selling them should have been made a crime.
