Stayed at a campsite recently called Paddabilla Bore in the QLD outback. No facilities just a bush site. Loved the atmosphere and the wildlife. The gnarled old trees and their fascinating textures as shown here . The red sands of the outback and a carpet of green plants thanks to recent rains. #redsands #green #bluesky #outback #qld #campsite #travel #rvlife #nature #dustytravelsoz

My wife and I signed up for a week of Hello Fresh delivery meals. The first one came. It was Pork Burgers with a sriracha sauce.

Instructions for cooking the burger was to put a heat up a good amount of olive oil in a pan then toss in the patties

Reader, even my oil burns got oil burns. Hot oil was flying out of the pan like a come to life Jackson Pollock unfolding on my stove. The cats huddled fearfully in a far corner of the house. Burger tasted good tho

If you've ever wondered why Tesla's FSD has gotten nowhere over the years, this provides a big clue. Managing complexity is the biggest challenge of large software projects. That's why good engineers care about software architecture, tests and documentation. Neglect those, and you'll sooner or later find yourself running just to stay still.
