You mean "legal" system.

Then that's rather pretty shitty of rest of us. The rest of us should just have someone's "No" and bugger off.

I think I am coming from the perspective that incessant trolling forced them to issue an official response and that's "snap enough" for me.

You seem to be coming from the point of view (that's my assumption based on our short comments; it maybe something else) that it doesn't meet the literal dictionary meaning so it's not a snap - which I disagree with.

I think that's all to it.

So an admin at a university (probably a person who should be sensitive to PR) should have said "You #$&*^$ #^#%&%$#$@, stop doing this already!" to make it look like a true "snap"?

To phase out TikTok usernames/handles and force users to move to Live/Outlook emails e.g [email protected]. Then sit back and gleefully marvel at their own accomplishment.

What is that intelligence you’ve mentioned?

You meant to say dealing with

- indirect consequences such as a very late recovery of economy, social habits changed for ever,

- or literally keep dealing with this pandemic (resurfacing again and again),

- or direct consequences such has ravaging other parts of body in an unseen manner which would become seen later?

Of course there could be and would be all of these but anything that would be very pronounced kind of a single major consequence?

What is it always com.au and not co.au, or just .au in Australia?

I love that there’s no open office anymore which I hated. It had nothing good to offer other than saving rent for my employer.

I hate that meetings have already started to spill into Saturdays, Sundays, and beyond 6pm and attendance in those meetings are now being subtly demanded which began as requests because someone’s calendar would be “full”.

Are there there similar but open and private solutions to Garmin/etc for h/w and Strava/RunKeeper/etc for software?

Some solution where I can track my runs, swims, cyclings, treks just like Strava (et al) does does but I can choose to keep the data wherever I wish - local, or sync to an app on computer or to a self hosted server.

Maybe not Garmin but I would love to use such an iOS Strava alternative with similar accuracy and detail.

Many would just need, at least me, a decent salary for sustaining comfortably (in my case that would be fine in just 50% of my CTC or even less) but a stellar medical insurance (yeah, I want that covered!) and work-life balance which also includes being treated and respected as a human being.

A friend who has always worked in NGOs/charitable trusts shared an interesting observation about all this.

She said that people in the top at these NGOs and trusts are usually get paid filthy rich like a CEO/Director would get paid but it pretty much ends there. Everybody else down the line are expected to expect and accept pittance. She said a salary negotiation among rank and file is frowned upon, especially by the people who are high up on the ladder and they are the same people who crib about not attracting top talent.

Wish passion alone could fill the belly and pay medical bills.
