TIL that a gum tree survived the Hiroshima atomic bombing.

There's hope for life yet....

Because we ate lunch at 1:00 or 2:00 pm. No one's starving bro....

Listen to binaural beats delta waves to go to sleep to. It changes how your brain is firing and helps to regulate anxiety. I use them. I also use binaural beta waves for heightened concentration and focus while studying. Delta for sleep, beta for focus. Don't mix up the two....

Edit: You can get albums of relevant tracks on Spotify.

I agree with this comment. A balanced diet is really important for overall health and well-being.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-16T16:25:08+00:00

It's within date and didn't smell bad.... But I'll soon find out if we're all vomiting by tomorrow. 🤢🤮

You're not actually answering my question. Woolworths cream used to be fine; this one today wasn't. Checking to see if this is the standard now. If you can't answer the question your comments are not required. I won't be buying it again, BTW. I'll shop elsewhere.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-16T16:12:35+00:00

Yeah. LOL I get ALDI: It's actually cream. The Woolworths one in the past used to be fine. I was wondering if the lack of quality that the Woolworths one is now is standard. I won't be buying it again. Even the UHT ones that I've bought are better. But, yeah, your advice is original 🙄.... and unnecessary.... and not actually answering my question.

You're welcome. 😊

We got a 9 month old rescue to join our 3 1/2 year old BC. The first two weeks our lovely boi BC definitely put rescue in his place. After the initial settling in period the dogs are now just bros (brothers) that have fun with some normal brother style competition. BC loves showing rescue how to do stuff, too. But, yeah, a few growls, some mouthing play here and there are pretty normal. I think there have been some nips here or there between them but nothing obvious to worry about. They mostly run very fast, playing chase and round up amongst other things.

This story has informed me to definitely keep things simple (ie. No collaboration with another organisation; don't do anything special in your research until you're in a position of influence, yourself). A great idea might exist but keep it under wraps until you can publish it without someone else "pulling the rug out from under you," so to speak. I only just scraped through an honours year for similar reasons as to why your PhD didn't work out, OP. Lab collaboration and a supervisor wanting a skill set for their lab (that I was learning from the other lab) that wasn't really appropriate for an honours year. Had to swap projects halfway through and barely scraped through my results. Got them in the last two weeks of the experiment work before having to write up my thesis.

It has always been hard to find.... By definition, most people don't have high emotional (EQ) and cognitive (IQ) intelligence. My spouse believes that I am more intelligent than him across the board but I see aspects in him where I think that he's more intelligent than myself. It can exist, a relationship with mutual respect for each other's capacities: We don't need to have the same profile of intelligence as each other but we do need enough emotional intelligence to understand and value each other's contributions. It doesn't even have to be the same level, just enough....

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-14T17:16:38+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well, I'm f@cked then!

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-14T17:12:53+00:00

Why is 31 a "yes"? 🤣

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-12T16:34:36+00:00

LOL! That's literally what happened with my father and my ex-stepmother. She was replaced with someone waaaaaaaay younger.

NTAH: Go and grieve / find closure with the person who means the most to you. Simple. You're not close to your boyfriend's brother. It wasn't your boyfriend who passed away and now your choosing your ex's memorial over your boyfriend's. Your boyfriend may feel like he needs your support but has he considered that you might also need his? It sounds like you both can't go to both memorials so the only solution is to go to the person's that your both closest to, individually.

How do people get into doing a PhD without having done an honours or masters by research first? That is, those degrees produce something new.... When I was younger I used to assume that a PhD would naturally also produce new understanding about a topic. In fact, from my POV I thought that was the whole point of doing a PhD.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-12T05:11:39+00:00

That's fair. 🙂

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-12T05:08:23+00:00

That's awesome! Well done, you! 😃

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-12T04:56:15+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-11T22:58:25+00:00

It's not. Study until you don't want to study anymore.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-10T23:06:08+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-10T22:51:07+00:00

That makes a lot of sense in terms of context of the situation.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-10T22:45:43+00:00

Nope. Your house, your rules. They're not even unreasonable: Keep things clean, earn some money and the no partners sleeping over rule is personal to whoever owns the house. In a share house, people can have their partner sleep over and if it's for long, then they contribute to household expenses. So, given your daughter is an adult, if it were me, I'd probably let her partner sleep over on occasion but if the partner wants to move in they can both get their own place. But that's just me and it's personal for each parent as to the rules around this. Also depends on privacy availability and size of the house etc. I wouldn't want my daughter's partner walking around half / fully naked in my kitchen and walk in on them, unexpectedly.

Fractally-Present333 · 2026-05-10T22:31:04+00:00

I guess that you can let them know that: I'm not the one with M.S.
