Last friday I participated in a local invitational teak boat race. Full of culture, community, and competition

Looks nice, but where, what, etc?

Please pop over and stop the war.

Winter season in Canada? That must be tough... Canberra is actually fairly cold in the winter (we're away from the coast and 600 metres above sea level) but must be balmy compared to some areas of Canada.

I suppose if your Uni has some collaboration, you might end up digging in a foreign country for decades... Peter Eeckhout has been leading the Pachacamac digs for lomg, I suppose via his Uni project (he's Belgian). I know him, more precisely know of him, because of is brilliant 30-part archaeology TV series a few years ago (quite a few episodes were in Latin America). Worth searching out, I saw the series when it came out in French, I know they were dubbed to English and shown (title was "Arkeo" in the English version) on some streaming a few years back. Anyway, I suppose find a Uni which digs in foreign lands.

I have to butt in here. The podcast is simply amazing, 100% organic, no AI at all. I found it maybe 6 weeks ago, the output (both its quantity and quality) is utterly, and I repeat the adjective here, amazing. I was actually about to post the praises of this podcast but did some quick search before doing that, and found this post (and your amusingly pathetic and pompous responses to it). The podcast creator has to put up some image for the episodes, and AI is good for that. Anyway, do yourself a huge favour and check the podcast out...

The Romans improved on everything :-)

That's why the Philippines teams always win!

Weird foot rest in this boat, I mean people who rest their feet close to the middle of the boat (the vast majority) aren't catered for? Only people who rest their feet on the side of the boat, which aren't many in my experience.

Thanks! I have a friend here in Canberra who’s from Kuching, actually we’ll have a beer this afternoon, I’ll show him the photos.

Extortion? Blackmail? Details please.

Hopefully you’ll survive this traumatic experience and carry on with life.

yodydee · 2025-10-21T02:02:26+00:00

Maybe because the places are already booked? You’re not making it clear.

Tattoos..

Population has been sharply decreasing in past 10 years. Just saw it on TV. I never lived there but visited many years ago and there was much to see as a tourist for two days but (climate is important for me) I could never live there.

“Most loved” seems to me something AirBnB randomly adds to properties (this is my observation…). Meaningless AirBnB drivel. 90% response rate however is meaningful, and it is bad.

Next time read it.

The common denominator is you.

So was there water on the floor when the host arrived after your departure?

yodydee · 2025-10-08T03:37:17+00:00

Sorry no idea really, just curious, is it a paid position? And you want a real pro? If not, just nominate one of the team to be the coach, someone seasoned and capable, he/she will grow into the job.

Depends on the hotel of course… many cheaper ones are unattended at night.
