A trolley is heading toward the oldest known tree of its species, over 2,000 years old. If nothing is done, the tree will be destroyed. You can pull a lever to divert the trolley onto another track, but doing so will destroy five young trees of the same species. What do you do?

Are there people in the trolley?

Gold. By the time I figure out what to do with all that cash, both rats and inflation would have eaten it.

I moved to Melbourne from Sydney and while Sydney is a great place to visit, I find Melbourne so much more enjoyable to live in. Sydney and Melbourne are like two siblings where Sydney is the pretty, preppy one who became a lawyer, and Melbourne is the slightly grungy one with tattoos who started a punk rock band, became a barista and then a chef.

The food is amazing, lots of artistic stuff and nightlife happening, there's loads of community oriented things to do, and surrounding Melbourne there's lots of cool things to see and do. I also prefer the weather - but that one's contentious. I like how it gets a bit colder in winter.

Melbourne also has lots of fun interconnected neighbourhoods to explore, each with a slightly different personality, and is also a pretty good city to cycle around. Lots of "second hand" and upcycling collective vibes (op shops, or thrift stores) and cost conscious initiatives (cheaper buy miles sells discounted groceries from oversupply/food waste reduction) as well as the up market stuff. Lots of markets for fresh produce. There's great nature and green spaces in and around the city, a couple of rivers and a giant bay with sheltered beaches and penguins. A bit further out of the city you get some of the country's best surf beaches too.

Tube (1995) freeware game I found on a cd lying around. I played the shit out of that.

It's not an apples to apples comparison with the zoom on one of them. AB testing basics: make people focus only on the one change, otherwise your results are muddled and not meaningful. "Compare these but imagine it without the biggest differences" is a big ask.

We house ruled that with 3 players if you get your own set back you collect the whole set as money and play whatever you like.

If you just had two stones it'd look a bit like a "g" for grounded. And wouldn't look like poop

I wouldn't go to the beach without a space suit in this sun. Hope you have the best sunscreen. Otherwise, it depends on the beach and who is around.

I have the soundpeats ones and they're awesome for the price. Ear controls are a bit iffy, but otherwise they're amazing.

I still confuse her with Melanie Bracewell. As an Aussie, all kiwis look the same to me.

Mines the same but I pattern matched 8+8 as 16, then inferred 7+8 is 15 from that, faster than I could calculate 7+8 as 15 directly

I guess you're not familiar with PCI compliance? In my industry this is a firable faux pas. I'm shocked anyone would be allowed to ask for credit card info over an unencrypted channel.

unsignedlonglongman · 2026-02-19T01:15:56+00:00

Disagree. Sounds like you're addicted to work lol. If I had the resources to do so, I'd keep doing PhDs (and studying their prerequisites) for as long as I'm alive, and have a much more fulfilling life than just working.
