My great grandfather’s name was Hilary. My nan wasn’t entirely impressed when I mention it was a girls name as a kid xD

Mine was blue until mid-2010’s.

Not completely sure why, but it’s now purple as well. It’s such a pleasing colour.

Prior to that, I have fond memories of painting all my cars in Saints Row 2 purple and white.

Norway and Japan for me :)

2/2/2021 - A spring roll recipe…

I think they were okay. I used a recipe once that used chestnuts for texture and it was freaking amazing!

I’ve not been able to find the same recipe again.

I used to dislike the taste of licorice. I used to eat the sweet bits from those licorice cubes my dad had when I was a kid and then throw away the licorice parts.

Don’t know when that changed, but I was on the way home with my old man (I may have been late teens/early 20’s?) and I was quite hungry. All he had in the car at the time was licorice and it was one of the most delicious things I ever had.

He sometimes playfully complains that he remembered a time when us kids never liked licorice or pepper and now we eat him out of a house.

My nan used to boil them and I loathed the smell and taste.

I had them for the first time last year since I was a kid and they were okay. I think they were sautéd in butter and some other stuff. Not as bad, but I still really dislike the smell and I could easily never eat them again xD

Thanks for reminding me about this!

We used to use that method for the company I was working for. We would setup laptops in advance and they were in the early process of setting up intune. Since we didn’t have a user account, we’d use your method to continue setup to get to the desktop.

I think we’d then run commands in pwershell to have the machine appear on intune.

It was a good few years ago and it was a very annoying, arduous time. They worked out the kinks eventually and that was no longer required.

In all fairness, I only know them as subs mainly because of Subway. Before that, I probably would have considered it a roll.

But I am Australian

You have more faith in me than I do xD

Appreciate the kind words

Often… I have sometimes spent hours trying to photoshop faces of my mates (with permission) on random objects or random scenarios, like a cat or kettle, trying to make it look as normal as my skills allow for a 1-off joke.

I’m thankful our HR gave us notice when I was in Desktop Support.

The rare occasion we received short notice from HR or the general exec of our tech division was due to an immediate termination, and that was usually due to people not passing probation, or for egregious behaviour like sending 100s of GB to their personal email after they resigned and we’re in their notice period.

Or we once had a guy who was completely off the rails… we don’t know what happened exactly, but a user called up and he was having a manic episode and was convinced someone hacked his account/phone and was listening to him.

We raised it as a concern and a few weeks (maybe a month or so later) we were asked to terminate his account.

I heard he had stopped taking his meds. Hope he’s alright now… he was a nice fellow usually.

Pretty big oopsie, lol

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try there!

I wish I knew, they don’t seem to know what happened either, unfortunately.

I get that too. It’s a flaw of my character, I guess, that stems from past experience on other social media platforms I’ve used throughout my life.

But, I’ve been trying, but probably not as much as I could…

I got to play in snow for the first time the other day. It was fantastic :)
