Decent day of field work owning some data, didn't get too caught up in disgusting traffic on the way back managed to get to the Todd Rd exit and take some back streets through Port Melbourne. Back at it tomoz to finish up unassessed areas and then (ugh) redo some areas with dodgy existing data ... May need an extra day to get through it all.

Then I'll need to hurry up and prepare the data for an entire other area up north and start attacking that asap. Goal is to finish it all by the end of the month. I might just squeeze it in bearing in mind I have a friend visiting from overseas for a week as well...

But for tonight, after having had a couple of drinks with colleagues I am gonna give in to my seafood craving and make a nice Thai seafood curry. I'd normally get takeaway but I think I prefer to spend my money on getting heaps of prawns to make it myself at home. And then I get to really enjoy this week's tv 😎

E: also the stripe on my finger is not cancer, whoopee

Did you notice any... scary data in the sets? Did you clean it?

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I'm going to find out when I actually sit down and analyse the data (still collecting it in the field). P sure there will be some dread and woe buried in there and much refining will be needed. I may need a music dance experience to motivate myself

Don’t forget Severance tonight.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

First on the list once I've made dinner and had a shower! Kind of feel like maybe I should've got takeaway as it's gonna be well past 8 by the time I finish - just walking back home with the goodies - but I'm going to believe that I've saved enough money to be worth it...

Is it really that good? My plan was to start season 1 tonight.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I really rate it, though I do think S2 has wobbled a bit compared to S1. It's a slow burn and really more about the eerie vibe at the start but holds up so well to rewatching once you realise what is going on

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I agree with, felt like the last episodes have really stalled because of what the resolution might unveil.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, this week's episode was definitely one of the weakest, which was kind of what I was expecting. Not sure why certain characters are behaving so oddly, especially with that character calling the other one repeatedly and just casually dropping news, felt like a bit of a contrivance to get that group of characters back together to further the plot. Oh well, can't be all bangers all the time, certainly does make me look forward to how they wrap this up

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I’m going to be watching it later today I think, I’ll let you know what I think later tonight.

I'll give it a go! I'm a huge scifi nerd and I could do with a decent show.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m enjoying it for what it is, it’s quite unique and can be thought provoking and mysterious and interesting all at the same time.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

it also has beautiful music, design and cinematography

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

It's some of the more unique sci-fi out there. I like it.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It is very good.

If you understand and remember all the facts as presented you will not get confused ( but not everything is explained at first )
