You’re welcome! I’m stoked that you’re enjoying it. I was having fun but I like spreadsheets so… I usually temper my expectations when making a recommendation.

Hope you get where you want to be with it quickly :)

There’s a site called “morsle” which has a daily test (like Wordle, and all the other daily games that are going around) where it starts out playing you a 5 letter word in Morse code and you can replay it a bunch of times and every time you do it slows down the sound a bit, starting at 40 words per minute. It’s amazing how quickly you can learn to discern one sound from another. I only found it a day or so ago but I am finding it’s coming quite quickly to me. It feels almost like remembering a short musical riff or drum beat. It’s intriguing.

Benefit of the doubt: do you mean you doubt there are many people alive who FOUGHT in WWII?

I’m not sure college fixes that.

The story within the book or the personality of the character?

Be specific about your reasons for J&J or people may assume it’s a tylenol thing. Next thing you know there’s a red hat surgically attached to your head, your IQ matches your shoe size, and your cousin has become inexplicably sexually attractive.

What’s a use for an ambiguous QR code panel where you can’t predict which of two codes may be scanned? I’m struggling to come up with anything that makes sense where the mechanism potentially slightly favours one or the other depending on the scanner/ tones used.

Good god, never could I have imagined I’d read a headline like this in my lifetime. So many news stories are deeply disturbing. There is something about the combination of terrorism via a novel and whimsical delivery method is absolutely horrifying.

That’s super sad and oddly realistic.

We played the hell out of Shaun Palmer’s snowboarding. And I’m pretty sure we hammered Tony Hawk too.

Nice perse

The tiniest park in the USA is located on a city street corner in Portland, Oregon. Mill Ends Park

Edit: I fell down a rabbit hole. Corrected myself having posted it originally as “world’s smallest park” which is how I knew it - apparently it carried that distinction until Feb this year when a tiny space on a Japanese street (which was created in 1988) formally applied for, and was awarded the Guinness book of records title of World’s Smallest Park.

Also this one just popped into my head - the Guinness Book of Records was originally conceived as a means of settling arguments by compiling factual “records”. The original argument related to a shooting trip in England in which the Managing Director of Guinness Breweries partook, where a missed shot led to a disagreement about the fastest game bird. The realisation that arguments such as this would be commonplace, and that no resource existed to settle such matters - the niche for capturing these types of facts was identified and the book was born.

My god, I just looked up some of his art - The Flagellation of Christ - you’re not kidding. The realism and movement - he’s captured a split second in time like a camera. Just incredible.

I think generally our teachers sent a child as a carrier pigeon

I have spent years working with business systems and CRMs and I have some questions if you feel like answering. I may not know what product you should pick, but it should help you narrow down the tools. What kind of consulting do you do eg. What industry? What business processes do you need to manage in this tool? Is this purely about contacts and opportunities? Presumably you want to generate a quote from the CRM? Does the CRM need to have a list of products/services or rates that you can add to a quote? What do you use for Accounting? (Eg Invoicing, pays, etc) do you expect integration? For your actual service delivery, do you have a work management tool? Eg Jira, TRELLO, something else…? Do you need email integration with CRM? What about clients expressing interest via your website to create leads? Cost per seat budget?

Im not trying to add complexity - reality is it’s a total crapshoot for anyone not in your company to recommend a tool that’s fit for purpose without this kind of info - and I can think of dozens more questions to add. I don’t mind giving you a hand scoping it out if you’re interested. Some basic BA stuff now will see you implementing a tool sooner, more cost-effectively, efficiently and smoothly with the least disturbance to your team compared with starting to search without a clear scope.

Sure, I like someone who knows what they want. Have three! I had a bit of a rude shock once it was too late to back out - I was like “who the hell glued these quarters down man?!”

Still gotta seal the area. Getting to this point took me far longer than I care to admit.

People already came and shared their knowledge. My first thought was vitiligo - I don’t want that to be hurtful for anyone who experiences it, I just saw the plane as a living entity and it’s paint was multi-toned and it’s what came to mind. No shade, no judgment. I have three colors: red, white, and peel - so anyone with melanin anywhere is ahead of the curve on me!

Ologies with Ali Ward (aka DadWard) I listened to it yesterday while fixing my hard wood floorboards - pretty interesting hey. I kept thinking the guest sounded a lot like Will Forte.

I feel like there should be one more line and a change:

He who knows, and knows he knows, is smart; beware him.

He who knows, and know he knows not, is wise; follow him

A hotel in a mining town, one of a few contractors stay at when they can’t get accommodation on site. Mining town = lots of alcohol abuse = occasional fights and violence. They’re never well-appointed places, people always come and go with filthy clothes and boots from site so there’s a level of dirt that could never be cleaned. Didn’t care too much about that if the sheets and towels were clean, but the room was on the outside facing the main road and the door frame was recently (and very poorly) repaired after someone very clearly had booted the door in. Slept with the tool bag open by the bed in case the owner of said boots didn’t get the message that the prior occupant had left town.
