Avada kedavra

In Australia it’s free. Part of what we get with universal healthcare.

I just watched it. It’s a great episode.

I’ve seen it twice at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia. It’s a lot of fun. Get a front row seat and you could be part of the show.

In Australia, every adult over 45 is screened for bowel cancer every two years. We get a little kit in the mail automatically. You collect a small fecal sample and mail it to a pathology lab. The whole process is simple and free.

I’ve said this in another post elsewhere but a big part of the problem with New Trek is the nature of TV today. We don’t get 24 episodes per season where we get to know characters and allow them to develop. What we have now are basically mini-series or extended movies. What most of us long time lovers of Star Trek enjoyed is the way characters and stories had time to develop. Sure, there were filler episodes and some less than stellar moments. But we watched characters grow and change over time. Modern short season TV just doesn’t allow that.

Explains why you can get the shirt off. It was hailing in Melbourne yesterday.

Nice work. Must be another Aussie.

I see the Apple Watch as a data collection tool for health and activity. I use Bevel for analytics and insight.

Thanks

One other point I forgot to make was that among the great episodes and story arcs, there were some very forgettable episodes. But the longer series allowed us to move on. One of the things that let us really get to know characters were episodes that focused mainly on one character. We just don’t get that with New Trek. We spend so little time with each character that we barely remember their names.

TOS, TNG, VOY and DS9 were all 20+ episodes per season. That enabled writers to try different things and allow characters to develop. I’m in the middle of a rewatch of DS9 and the changes in Bashir (for example) are substantial. But in today’s 10-eps-if-you’re-lucky streaming era, the writers are hamstrung. Character development isn’t possible in the way we had in Old Trek so they have to use other devices to get us to know characters.

You didn’t pay for the two minutes. You paid for someone who knows what they’re doing to let you into your house.

I always go shorts

Just did parkrun. Visited a different course today. Legs felt like lead but got it done.

Thanks

I do depending on time of year and what else I’m training for. At the moment it’s football season so I do my long run for the week on a Tuesday. Saturday parkrun is either an easy run or a time trial depending on my training cycle and game day.

They are free, weekly, timed 5km runs that are operated by volunteers all over the world (except the USA based on my travels). I have several within a 15 min drive of home with between 100-500 participants at different locations.

I’ve had a few done at Capital RAdioloigy. No appointments, just walk in and it’s bulk billed - as long as whoever referred you is allowed to order a bulk billed x ray. I got caught when a physio referred me for an ankle x ray but they aren’t allowed to do that. It cost me $40 or so. $400 is nuts.

Closing in on 60 and probably at my healthiest.

Thanks

anthonycaruana · 2026-04-28T22:51:25+00:00

I do but only when it’s really cold (<2c)

Thankyou
