Police are now targeting people who lose all sense of time whilst ordering at a cafe and feel the need to share long stories with the uninterested barista.
If you’re curious how commissions and incentives shape the technology retail sector, JB HiFi at Robina doesn’t stock Apple TV units on the shelves, they’re “out the back”, because Apple’s sales incentives are less than all the other boxes which I guess make coin on tracking?
”Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing someone to change their tribe. If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too. You have to give them somewhere to go. Nobody wants their worldview torn apart if loneliness is the outcome."
– James Clear

The humble Australian ritual of gender reveal via a burnout.
“The driver burned out on a secluded road on the Gold Coast. As the drone flies upwards, the car continues its burnout until it turns sideways. Then a lot of things go sideways.
Photographing a blood red supermoon, a lunar eclipse, is seemingly outside of my skillset. I made many photos and all were degrees of terrible, these two - one shot on my 25mm and the other on my 70-180mm lens - are the ones I hate the least.
Life is so busy, complex, and tiring right now, that the US government has confirmed that UFOs are a thing and everyone that finds out just shrugs and moves on.

For the first time in many years I took what I thought was common advice and wisdom and I’ve started using Mail.app on MacOS (Big Sur on Apple Silicon MBA). Three email accounts, one with 170,000 odd emails, another with 40,000 odd, and another with about 1000 emails. Mail.app is barely useable, so slow and it takes minutes to refresh when I change mailbox. Is this just Mail.app now or am I doing it wrong? Googling isn’t helping as there are so many bland articles on speeding up Mail.app. I’ve rebuilt the mailboxes, and I’ve even done the deleting index thing. Any ideas?
