This hospital has free wifi that is happily letting me stream netflix on my phone. Starting to wonder if I was smuggled out of Australia while unconscious.

This afternoon I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. Went great, I'm recovering like a trooper.

Couple hours after they moved me to a ward for the night, doctor came by to excitedly show me the pictures he'd taken. And, wow, that thing they ganked from my abdomen was *nasty*.

He gave me the pictures. I don't know why.

aaand googling it, it isn't even a wheat beer. It's corn. Make your own jokes I'm tired.

"Well, Albo would be the first leader with a beer named after him*.

It's a wheat beer; pale and weak."

* Hawkie doesn't count, his beer was post-leadership

Being sick means I no longer have any qualms about unfollowing old friends who've moved to Victoria, redpilled, and have spent the last few days abusing "the left" about their "intolerance".

Feels good.

Bedtime update: I've graduated to 7:30. I'm a big boy now!

Going home exhausted at 2pm is my new jam.

Starting to suspect trying to go to work today was a bad idea.

Yes, thankyou. I'm doing OK.

Update: getting discharged from hospital was good. Game of Thrones was good. I'm in bed by 6:20, and that's also pretty decent.

I am stuck in a hospital bed, and going dark to avoid Game of Thrones spoilers. Worst day ever.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Bill Shorten's t-shirt.

I think I have that strain of lactose intolerance that lets me eat all the dairy I want except for when it's most inconvenient to get sick.

In unrelated news, this afternoon's pizza seems to have triggered my insides.

RIP Hawkie. :(

After fighting with puppet all day, I got on the train and immediately started hacking on my home puppet manifests.

I need a nap.

This is a hell of a headline.

oh god the crunky old mysql on my crunky old vps died and my last backup was... uh... never ago.

Anyway, gamers are the fucking worst.

Objects in Space left early access start of March. Since then, the two-person studio have pumped out seven minor releases, fixing bugs, adding a handful of minor features, and tweaking balance.
This week I've seen three different people loudly wondering if the game was dead. One of them declaring that the "lack of updates" had put them off working on mods for the game.

Late last year, the KSP team announced they were moving to a 3-month update cycle. And they've stuck to it with three updates since, right about quarterly.
Folks who play have not stopped whining about these new "frequent" releases, and the apparently terrible effect it would have on the nodding scene. It's not the only example of the toxic garbage that pushed me out of the forum, and led me to stop working on my mods and eventually stop playing. But it's a galling one.
