Lifetime Health Cover Loading is so badly designed that it’s discouraging people like me from getting private health insurance.

A little experiment mixing pre-rendered backgrounds with realtime illumination. I think the result is quite convincing.

Talked to my GP today about why so few clinics do bulk billing today, and he said that government funding for Medicare had not kept up with the cost of running a clinic for decades, and he thinks we’ll probably lose bulk billing completely soon.

Update: it’s hyperthyroidism. My heart rate is now hovering around 90 bpm and I have sinus rhythm again after some medication. They’re not letting me leave until they figure out the cause, though, so I might miss out on most of PAX 😭

PSA: your Apple Watch is much more accurate than someone reading your pulse with their finger. Especially if your Watch reads 170 bpm and afib while a person reading your pulse says it’a 80-110 bpm. Trust your watch and go to the ER.

Hey doctors who work in hospitals, do you find chatty patients annoying? Like “what does that number on that monitor means” kinda questions. I’m super curious but I don’t wanna ruin someone’s day 😂

So if my heart rate is 170 bpm standing up and 160 bpm sitting down, when I used to have a resting heart rate of 60 just two months ago, what does it mean?

Diner dash with action rpg elements where you kill monsters for ingredients by Singaporean devs. I’m really happy to see SE Asian devs here!

I feel so happy and proud every time I see Indonesian devs at PAX even though I’m not Indonesian (my mom is)

Fellow hayfever sufferers at PAX, if you have your mask put them on when outside today. A swarm of pollens must have flown into my mouth today because I had to cough for 10 mins just to expel the foreign particulates in my throat.

myki rant incoming.
Why do they expire at all? It makes it completely useless for people like me. I never have an active card when I need it.
And what happened to my balance? The new card says it’s zero. Is myki expiring cards on purpose to steal people’s money???

I’ve always collected my PAX badge at GCAP so I had no idea that everyone else (and me today) had to line up to get it the day before

Due to a tech error, the Finalist trailer for Accessibility was not played last night.
We’d hate to see such an important list of talented finalists go unseen so we humbly ask that you share this post and video as far and wide as you can.

*PAX ATTENDEES NOT FROM MELBOURNE*
If you're flying into Tullamarine Airport & don't have a ride organised, don't catch an uber!
Sky bus is $15 one way & will take you directly from the airport to southern Cross station, you can then either walk, tram or uber to your accom! ❤️

So I forgot I already bought a Friday pass for PAX and bought another one. Anyone wants a Friday pass? 😅

At #migw22 now. Exited for the keynotes, talks, lunches and catching up with other devs in person. Thanks lots in advance to all the volunteers!

Had to buy a heat gun to soften some adhesive last month and now I’m using it to make cheese toasts and salmon auburi. Thinking of trying creme brûlée next.
Any other ideas what else I can cook or bake with it?

Hey all, as promised I wanted to take some time to discuss how I feel things are with #Unity lately. I’ll make a thread of thoughts-as always, if you disagree with something- I’m not gonna try to win you over, your opinion is yours and valid based on your experiences. 🧵

I saw One Piece anime for the first time and I can’t get over the creative decision to have Luffy sound like a teenage girl.
Like I get he’s young but he’s old enough to have his voice broken I’m pretty sure?
You know how when you dream everything makes sense and is a “good idea” no matter how illogical it is? I just dreamed that houses can be built using a 3D printer and a giant cannon shooting blocks into place.

Today's #gamedev tip is about reverse naming conventions for assets. It's a simple trick, but has a huge impact on being able to find things...

Cooking tip: when making a big pot of delicious soup, don’t use too many small Thai chillies thinking it’s the same as other chillies, because you’ll have to drink it all at some point.
