I edited this last shot of Seceda in @affinitybyserif and purchased a license right after. See ya later @Adobe subscription. Snapped with an @FujifilmX_AU X-T3. #Italy #landscapephotography

Very disappointing customer experience with @postmarkapp. Almost 6 days ago a strange issue resulted in Postmark pausing our stream with many emails in the queue. They acknowledged an error on their end and they would investigate. I've sent 5 follow up emails with no response.

Congratulations to the US beating Australia 2 medals to 1 in the Women’s 100 metre backstroke 😉

@NickRedV @NRL_Dragons You can now even pick the moment it all falls apart too. When the dogs scored after a very forward pass you just knew the Dragons would implode and concede 40.

@NRL_Dragons I’ve never seen a team fall apart so drastically when something goes wrong. Zero leadership, zero resilience

"AI Artists" complaining their "prompts" are being used without their consent. The irony...

Guys excitement seeing a steam train turns sour real fast

@FitFounder I can't get past the AI generated image. That stomach and the eyes.

This is why people get fat in relationships (it's not what you think): A study was done to find out what happens to people who get into relationships and the results were pretty shocking. Researchers found that when men and women get in relationships they exercise less and stop taking care of themselves​. They also found that the more happy and stable the relationship was the more they gained weight. Why does this happen? They concluded found people who got into a relationship felt as if they were already "set". They found a partner so there was no incentive to do things to make themselves more attractive. It also is consistent with what I see in real life: People get comfortable when they get into relationships. They treat the relationship as an outcome so once that's achieved they make their bodies less of a priority. They forget that one of the reasons they attracted their partner is because they took care of themselves. Look, there's no shame if this has happened to you. Life happens. But this is not an excuse not to do something about it. You can always take steps to become the best you. No matter what anyone says physical attractiveness still matters in relationships. You don't need to have a six pack. Just start taking care of yourself as if you were still trying to attract your mate. Reference: psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-07…

Anyone who's ever spent time on a rower knows just how superhuman this is. Holding a sub 1:40m/500m pace for 42km is beyond insane. 🤯

Biggest what-if of the 2023 tennis season

I’ve never seen a 36 year old male tennis player be this dominant this consistently. Federer was pretty darn close to this and made it look effortless, but this is another level of greatness from Djokovic.

One man stands alone in the record books 🤩 Novak Djokovic wins his seventh ATP Finals titles and becomes the first person in history to reach this milestone 🏆 Simply the greatest player in tennis history 🐐 @DjokerNole | #NittoATPFinals

@decryption Going to see Oppenheimer at Melb Imax on the weekend. Can't wait.

Rebuilding software from scratch is the wrong decision 99.99% of the time.

The St George Illawarra Dragons pay their respects to the family of Bob Bugden, who passed away last week. A six-time premiership-winning halfback during St George's famous 11 in a row, Bob was 87. Vale #RedV dragons.com.au/news/2023/11/0…
