It's important to read the fine print.

It was with some regret that I corrected a typo in a covering email reading 'our new amendments are highlighted in blud'.

Having married into horse herd ownership, I do at least have some excuse for owning a truck (or 'ute'); but I'm really hoping they're less over-the-top and preferably electric by the time we drive our current one into the ground.

TIDAL vs Spotify TIDAL vs Spotify: both have great offerings, but which music streaming service is the best one for you? Our showdown will help you decide.

Tidal at least pays more to artists. There's a good comparison article here: www.soundguys.com/tidal-vs-spo...

Something to keep in mind when compiling your starter packs. There’s a lot going on here.

Attack of the Clones (games). The real Unpacking is first in the screenshot: a fascinating game released in 2021 by Brisbane indie studio Witch Beam, to critical acclaim (Eurogamer GOTY, 2xBAFTAs, 1xDICE). Only a matter of time before the clones are taken down?

Wrote a little thing about the Unpacking scam game situation on the Nintendo eShop, with a few words from the Witch Beam folks and @vook64.bsky.social.

These are all still up in the store, one week later.

So every time I see a post from one of those awful AI image spawning accounts, I click on the sender and block them. Based on the contents of my feed now, I have a horrible feeling that the Bluesky algorithm simply interprets the first click as 'Please, send me more of this drivel'.

No native predators for one this size. Cars are the biggest menace, but it's not unusual in some places to see a line of cars backed up while someone drags one of these off the road. While they're non-venomous, they'll still have a bite if antagonised.

I can say that I captured this one myself - seen being wrangled by my father-in-law (retired parks ranger) when I took it to his farm for humane release. My wife was away, the snake was in the chicken coop, it was 3 in the morning and I had no choice.

This is one of our visitors nestling in a nesting box. Note the chicken egg within its coils. Our friend had presumably already eaten its fill. Don't ask what the lumps are.

We get a couple of these in the chicken coop every year, though I don't think we've ever had one quite this big. My wife usually handles them. Her father was a national parks ranger, and her capturing implement of choice is a potato masher. I hold the sack open, as seen in these chicken cam stills.

At last, I can share aspects of my life with overseas colleagues without relating them to learnings about business-to-business sales. Or if I can't, feel free to unfollow :) So, here's a carpet python a chap found while working at our place today. Note the lump - a recent meal.
