@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars we’ve been in coburg and although a few bits of gentrification are getring toe-holds it feels like it hasn’t changed much in 50 years. surprised to see bar ranked so low - definitely best to have within walking distance.
we can get to everything except hospital (though there are plans to build one in the next decade or so), sports arena (plenty of pitches around), university, and gas/petrol station (should have one this year or next).
@themurphy counterpoint: computers in the 90s actually worked
@alcoholicorn state taxes can be made progressive; profit is inherently surplus to cost
@themurphy it’s glorified autocorrect with no truth function. it’s planet-killing garbage.
@blindsight yeah it’s either unrealistic if it means stadium for spectator sports that seats thousands, or poorly worded if it refers to anyplace with fitness infrastructure, eg pitch, field, pool, gym, etc
@just_kitten where are the hipster places in coburg or coburg north? true north? cedar fox?
@ren @alternativenation new to me - will check them out
@pandanus @ajsadauskas @australia my cousin is visiting for the first time. we have two weeks in australia. we’re meeting in sydney and then flying to melbourne and it was harder than expected to get him to understand just how much time it would take to fit uluru into our plans (we aren’t going).
@ajsadauskas @technology as with so many things it depends on the people involved. we have a daily 15-min standup that’s good for raising issues and blockers, asking questions, keeping the team across releases and significant production issues, ensuring that everyone has work for the day, etc. it helps that it’s run very effectively. all of that can be and is done in other channels but it’s a good way to get everyone on the same page together. does it cost money? all meetings cost money. but i would argue that good efficient meetings pay for themselves.
