    i’m upset no one thinks a giraffe can headbutt a panda

    Here’s what national geographic has to say:

    Yes they can and the panda loses every time.

    It proves my point… that yes… actually… wait I forgot the question.

      I saw it like a cartoon. You know in the Lion King when they’re all singing and the giraffes are swinging their necks around? And suddenly BAM, Panda!

      A panda could headbutt a giraffe, but the giraffe might not even notice. Or it might slip over like it was on rollerskates.

    Work from home tomorrow since I’m still sick. I might treat it as an unofficial sick day since I couldn’t take half a week off because of this conference

    Just sent my biggest client proposal yet (in terms of the $$ it will bring in). I think I’ve reeled this client in to using me but I can never be sure. I’m always worried about being too expensive too but also need to charge my worth and what is fair, I ain’t out here to be the cheapest provider. Fingers crossed they go ahead. This will be a big moment for me if I get this work.

    Back in Melbs. Needed those few days.

    Almost tripped over 2 possums on the way in. They just casually walked in front of me, climbed the gate slowly then jumped into a tree and sat there. I was about 30cm away… weren’t fazed by me at all which is weird.

            I just spent an hour with it and honestly, it sounds pretty much the same as a more expensive one. I’ll dm you the temu pic when I get home.

          a measure on or next to a lens, like a ruler or a grid

          or maybe I could use a gimbal.

          I will do some reading.

    Here’s something that made me think a bit today whilst reading the instructions on chana dal.

    Place uncooked chana dal into a bowl with 4 cups of water and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Rinse well, drain and set aside.

    What difference does it make how much water I put in if I’m gonna rinse and drain anyway. I was a rebel and I put more in and smiled.

    It would make more sense if they said “atleast 4 cups”.

    **+^%# tonights clean had an unmitigated disastrous last hour, i had a containment breach, accidentally put a fcking hole in the dirty water bucket (while it was full, of course), the floor level run had multiple fcking barkface textured bricks full of nooks and crannies crammed with paint (so full i had not realised they were textured), and i busted my fucking head open on the bbq.

    My jimmies, they are rustled.
