No frost here but it's squally and bitterly cold. I feel sorry for the college kids wandering about in shorts or skirts.
It it just me, or is it annoying when someone has scheduled a Zoom meeting for 11am... but it's 10:57 and they still haven't sent the link?
That's gotta be embarrassing for them!!
"Why is nobody here?" And all that
Maybe, although they specifically said they were going to send the link a few minutes beforehand (not sure why they couldn't send it earlier!)
Saying you're only sending the link a few minutes beforehand is already a red flag that they don't value your time and/or have control issues
Is it a zoom meeting if there's no zoom link?
Good morning! Winds getting a bit gusty again in the tron. Hope it’s a little better where everyone else is.
Not too bad down Wellington way but not as warm as I'd like.
Doesn’t feel too cold here today luckily.
The doors on the little seedling greenhouse I was putting together yesterday was banging in the wind at 3am and I had to get up to move it, then the baby woke up at 4am. Just a bit extra tired this morning.
Haha oh boy can I relate. Except for me it's normally the door of the BBQ banging in the wind. And luckily our kids don't wake up in the night all too often, but one will wake up in the early hours of the morning a couple of days a week.
Not sure how reassuring it is saying it gets better, but not that much better.
We have a primary school aged kid as well, so we've been through it before awhile ago. But I guess we forgot how tiring babies were haha. or maybe we're just getting older :(
Yeah I'm not sure there will ever be a time again that I'm not tired.
It does get better... But different. I used to sleep until 9am or sometimes 11am. Now I wake up at 7am sometimes 8am. Our kids are now 7 and 10 and hardly wake up in the night, and in the morning they will play / read on their own without waking us up.
Yes the older ones do that, so I guess having a 3 year old still makes it hard. But now we have one that wakes up early and two that don't want to get up but need to for school.
I once read a nice saying: "not for a million dollar I want another kid, but not for a million dollar they can take away my kids." I love them, but sometimes I really don't want to be a dad anymore :)
Yeah I can relate to that. We recently had all the kids go to visit their grandmother for a night. It was the first time since the first one was born that we had a kid free night. I think we slept for 12 hours straight.
The southerly was a bit rough biking in this morning
Hopefully you'll get a boost on the way home!
Going to see Oppenheimer tomorrow, really looking forward to it.
It's only been out a day, so I might not get a response, but has anyone seen it yet? What did you think?
I've been waiting for someone to reply to you but I guess no one has seen it. Here's a review thread I found: https://lemmy.nz/post/478994
Highly rated by critics. Well, except this one:
What I can say for sure is that “Oppenheimer” far too often feels like a three-hour Wikipedia entry than a compelling movie.
So set your expectations accordingly 🙂
Brilliant, thankyou! Will have a look through.
