Thanks for sharing. I only got back into reading in the past year. I think I stopped because I was trying to read books that I thought I should enjoy. So finding one or more of the education, evolution or escape motivations has helped.

I’ve never seen this YouTube channel before but I liked this video so much that I subscribed. So thanks for that too.

If I’m reading a book, I normally give it a couple of chapters. If I don’t like the style of writing or the story isn’t engaging, it’s very unlikely that it will get better later on.

If I’m listening to an audiobook, I give it a lot longer because I’m usually doing something else while listening and there’s less effort required to progress.

A recent exception is The Power. I read that until 49% because it was okay. Somewhat interesting but I just didn’t care about the characters and I hated the writing style. I thought I should like it more because it was a bestseller and turned into a TV show. I got around to reading reviews which confirmed that it wasn’t just me who didn’t get it and I’m so glad I stopped. I should’ve dropped it after two chapters.

Yeah, I was massively disappointed. I hope they can get Jason on as a guest.

The business that responded in the article does functions. I doubt that the handful of car spaces right outside his business provide the majority of his customers. So most people are either walking from further away, or using alternate transport.

But no, let’s make Sydney Road less safe because fuck you.

Did they explain why they ended it? I’m currently listening to it so maybe the reason is coming up. I’m a loyal listener and so a bit devastated and shocked that it wasn’t announced in advance.

It’s one of the most engaging shows I listen to so I’d be surprised if it was because of a shrinking audience.

I can’t find a source but it was decided that the original Myki should be built as a custom solution at a greater expense and with a slower rollout even though there were already off-the-shelf solutions that were working around the world that would have been faster and cheaper to implement.

Yep copy it over please.

Myki was a shitshow when it was introduced. This is just more of the same.

Funny how removing street parking from Sydney Road somehow means that nobody will be able to get to Sydney Road causing businesses to shut down.

Just finished now. Was good, more booze than food so bit tipsy. I don’t know what is the most acceptable other than afternoon tea but that sounds too prim and proper for an afternoon sesh.

Bottomless brunch in the city. Which is actually in the afternoon, so more like a lunner.

I just watched Follow Her. It’s not really low budget but more a B Grade thriller. But I really enjoyed it. Good story, a few twists. I won’t say any more in case of spoilers.
