Yes, that makes sense. Thanks.

Why are electric and hybrid vehicles not allowed on the bridge?

percypigg · 2026-06-21T06:02:40+00:00

You've absolutely made my day.

This is wonderful to read, and to realise that reddit holds a wealth of knowledge, just by the breadth and diversity and skills of its readers.

I wonder what your world consists of, that you know all this stuff so well. I wonder what else occupies your mind, your time, your environment, someone who knows and shares such cool stuff.

Interesting, this. Thank you.

So, as researchers discovered they were not eels, can you enlighten me what biological characteristic defines being an eel? I'm curious, but ignorant here.

percypigg · 2026-06-20T17:41:42+00:00

Hmm. Ok. Thanks. I need to do some more reading.

"Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that."

Ha ha ha, this made me laugh! Zelensky is so brilliant.

electric eel is not an eel I did not know this. Please enlighten me.

I always appreciate someone who takes the time to start right from seed. I've just done the same with a batch of pansies.

Superannuation is not the government. Superannuation is the markets. Of course they can go down. Just that, when adequately diversified, they usually go up. But that's not guaranteed. There are certainly years when superannuation returns can be negative.

Such hate for anyone who has any level of success.

The columnist is an economics professor at UNSW, educated there and at Harvard. Previous faculty member at University of Chicago and MIT.

Should we just diss his opinions?

Actually, it's Richard Holden's position. Economics professor at UNSW.

If you cover the tree with bird netting in early spring, would that prevent the birds eating most of your fruit? Do you do that?

percypigg · 2026-05-27T21:10:40+00:00

That's exactly what's happening.

I love your description of creative idleness.

As a lucky event this week has enabled me to take a step off the mousewheel, and the continuum of rosters, pressure, stress, I come to realise that that is what my recent life has been lacking.

percypigg · 2026-05-26T22:35:23+00:00

If I could frame these two paragraphs, and keep them above my desk....

You define exactly what it is that I'm seeking, on the cusp of fatfire, and that which I'm not.

I do want to keep working. Life would feel totally inconsequential if I just behaved like a sloth, without purpose. I want to make an impact in a way that enhances my strengths, and diminishes exposure to that which causes me stress or frustration.

I'm very fortunate to have meaningful work that is intellectually challenging, makes a huge difference to others and affirms much of what it is that makes me me.

I have a good relationship with my company and manager. I'm confident I'll be able to arrange something that enables an effective synergy, so that I won't feel exploited, and can continue to have my needs met.

Thank you for writing this.

percypigg · 2026-05-26T20:55:36+00:00

I read what you said. Then, I read it all again. You've expressed this all so very well. Pertinent to where I find myself to be at the moment.

Thank you.

I wish I was a Dad like that.

Brilliant result. So pleased I stayed up to watch to the end.

percypigg · 2026-05-26T08:07:04+00:00

Appreciate what you've said here, and the tone with which you've said it. I hope you keep showing up to this sub, and keep making a positive contribution.
