SALUTATIONS MORTALS AND/OR NON-MORTALS.

MANY SALUTATIONS. AT LEAST TWO.

TWO? TWO?

WAVES THE BOOK OF ARMAMENTS

THE NUMBER OF COUNTING IS THREE

AT LEAST, YES!

THREE IS AT LEAST TWO!

hmm... why is this book ticking?

Counts to 3 and yeets it

So how are people?

Am ok

Ho are you @Sarov?

Frustrated.

Been weeks and this is still a problem.

:(

I'm amused that my dad apparently thought that "highland cows are those tiny fuzzy cows right?" (I love the baby cows and share pictures in the family chatroom when I come across highland cattle calves)

@Sarov Stackoverflow can solve nearly any problem but when it cant you are screwed :(

@JourneymanGeek Did someone say tiny cow?

@SerenaT Bit of a story there :D

instagram.com/p/BYeUvdpBCzJ/?taken-by=happyhensandhighlands

This picture was viral, and at some point I was carrying my doggo like that

so my dad assumed they didn't get bigger

@JourneymanGeek It wont let me see it without an account :(

does that work?

Aww yeee

They are really cute, but that must still be heavier than a dog

@SerenaT Yeap. Doesn't help that there's a disconnect between me (who knows what the problem is) and IT (who's able to fix it).

@SerenaT They get a lot bigger

@JourneymanGeek I know but that calf looks heavy af

Oh

I should also point out

@Sarov That is really annoying

MY DAD HAD A PET COW IN THE OLD COUNTRY

@JourneymanGeek Oh! That is my dream!

@SerenaT Well yes but I wasn't carrying a cow

I was carrying a (at worst) 10kg doggo

and that was at his chonkiest

@JourneymanGeek That is doable

quite

I think I can manage a small dog if things line up

Not a cow :D

though

there's stories of someone renting a jersey cow for a houswarming in an apartment...

mothership.sg/2017/04/…

tnp.sg/news/others/… better photos but its a condo, so rich people :D

Condos are for rich people?

Out here, yeah

90% of people live in public housing

(I'm half certain the little HDB (public housing) apartment I'll be moving in 2023... shoulda been next year :( is about a tenth what it would be if it was a condo.

I see.

@JourneymanGeek And the woman is planning to keep the “blessing” in the freshly renovated floor for three days? Uh… that must be a pretty strong belief.

@Stephie ol time religion I guess

But folks would clean places with cowdung so....

(mostly external or dirt floors... and there eventually a few... odd beliefs like cowdung stops radiation... that cropped up)

@Stephie Its also not common. I think 3-4 news reports in the last... 2 decades?

I'm more amused at the person who went "small cow, fits in lift, lets rent it out to people for prayers in apartments that were meant for big open village spaces"

We bought a house built by a family with a last name that translates to “luck”. While we were waiting for the approval, I found a four-leaved clover, which is also a symbol of luck.

@Stephie new place is in a new neighbourhood they're developing

Since then our house is slowly in the process of getting a name (which is unusual here).

Was supposed to be finished Q3 next year but got delayed to latish Q4 due to covid

@JourneymanGeek business opportunity. Clever, in a certain way.

hdb.gov.sg/about-us/history/hdb-towns-your-home/tengah

@JourneymanGeek that’s ambitious!

@Stephie they've done a few from scratch new towns

(Pedestrian friendly is nice. Pity I can't get a bigger apartment as a single person, but people do nice with the space)

Oh

and central aircon.

At the moment though, my apartment is probably a few tons of concrete in bags, rebar and good intentions

(also lots of parks and green spaces... so If I eventually get a dog, it would be at least alright :D )

My current neighbourhood is perfect but I can't afford a place in the area.

I'm hoping once they get a handle on covid, they de-postpone the build date a little

@JourneymanGeek Why do you assume the intentions are good?

Cause they are actually going to build it 😅

And hopefully not replace my apartment with a portal to a dimension of unending pain

Porque no los dos?
