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

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.

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

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

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 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?

My daughter and her netball team are having a session at flip out. It’s 4pm and I want to go home. I have things to do. We’ve been out since 8am.

First flight ever was Qantas business class from Sydney to London. I was 12

Yes, and I love it. It’s so much fun.you have more control and I find it more responsive when putting your foot down compared to the cars with stop and go.pedals

$70 Australian… which is still like $40usd on a good day

Vinyl records… 25 years ago you could hardly buy them . I listen to punk and they never gave up on the format and so it was cheap and collectible because print runs were small… from 2010 onwards, they came back in fashion and the major labels started clogging up the pressing plants and then pre-orders became a thing and the price started creeping up…now, in my country a vinyl that used to be $20 is now pushing $55 and mainstream artists are pushing $70 …my desire has really waned… I’m priced out of finding new artists because I can’t buy everything all the time like I used to.

i shelve it

Four more years!

These I listen to regularly. I have subs to many limited series around true crime (the teachers pet, shandees story, liar liar, the night driver) and other subs to podcasts listed here eg behind the bastards and some podcasts centered around pink bands and punk music but I rarely have time to listen to these regularly.
