Anybody want to help me test the @PostersUnionAU cloud Immich? I need 2-5 people

update: Testing closed for now.

Annoyed with someone but not hugely annoyed? Consider one of our petty curses instead of cursing them with sickness or worse:

"May your laptop fans always spin louder than you find comfortable!"

"May your gas-lift chair randomly drop at inopportune moments!"

"May your car wait until you are on a freeway where you cannot stop before starting to incessantly beep that it has detected weight on the back seat from shopping bags that it has interpreted to be a child without a safety belt!"

"May Netflix always assume you had finished watching a movie if you stop it 10 minutes before the end!"

"May all your packages be sent via Couriers Please!"

"May the ISO images you need to transfer to a USB stick always be 200KB larger than than the size of the available stick."

"May you always find that someone has pressed all the buttons on an elevator just as the doors close."

Remember, you should always curse with a level commensurate to the slight.

Please sign and share widely if you can.

I am a therapist. I cannot begin to explain to you how enraged and appalled I am - notes and medical history should remain confidential.

You can always ask your therapist to keep hard copy notes only (as I always do and will continue to do) as anything via a keyboard that has access to wifi/internet is potentially hackable.

ASRS is a screening test for adults to see if it's worth pursuing an ADHD diagnosis. It is 18 questions, written by neurotypical people who assume their external observations of ADHD are accurate representations of what it's like to have it, so needs to be translated into "actual person with ADHD" before you fill it in.

That's why it includes stupid shit like, "do you feel driven by a motor?" No, I do not. Things driven by a motor spin round and round and I do not spin.

And, "Do you have problems remembering appointments" to which everyone responds, "It's 2026 and I have a fucking SMARTPHONE".

So that being the case, I have often thought one written BY ADHDers, FOR ADHDers would be better.

It would include questions like:
.
"Do you think your friends all dislike you and that you annoy them?"
.
"Is there a song on repeat in your head? Is it the same 3 bars over and over? It is, isn't it?"
.
"Your partner says, 'we need to talk'. Do you flee to Antarctica? If not, is that because you got distracted by TVTropes when trying to find out how to flee to Antarctica?"
.
"Do you do the thing with candles? You know the one. Yes you do, stop playing dumb."
.
"'Right, but you need to show your working' - how much homicide do you want to commit when you read this?"
.
"How many bottles of ketchup are there in your fridge? Did you have to get up to count?"
.
"How many are expired?"
.
"By more than a year?"
.
"You left the fridge open, didn't you?"
.
"Which leg is bouncing and why is it always the same one?"
.
"Do you rehearse conversations in your head before having them?"
.
"And then get annoyed when the other person doesn't say their correct lines?"
.
"How long have you managed to lie in bed desperate for a pee without getting up to pee and why is it six hours?"
.
"Cleaning your teeth twice a day is easy|common|aspirational|not happening|I own a toothbrush?|I own five toothbrushes?|And don't know where any of them are? (delete as applicable)"
.
"You notice a scab on an easily accessible body part. How many seconds is its life expectancy?"
.
"Where did you get those bruises? The ones on your legs? You don't know, do you?"
.
"Rock climbing, knitting, or both?"
.
"How long have the clothes in the washing machine been there?"
.
"And is Indiana Jones getting excited about the early Mesopotamian sock layer at the bottom of the pile on your chair?"
.
"Ikea Skadis. I know, right?"

It should be no surprise there is a trans-Tasman dispute over which country — Australia or New Zealand — created the ANZAC biscuit

An Australian Dept Veteran’s Affairs (DVA) booklet claims
“During the First World War, people on the home front often sent parcels to the Anzacs to show their support. many of these packages included biscuits made from rolled oats, coconut, golden syrup and flour, which had high nutritional value and kept well while being transported overseas. These biscuits have come to be known as Anzac biscuits and are still popular in Australia today.”

“The Anzac biscuit is more than 100 years old so many recipe variations exist.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup plain flour
Method
1. Heat oven to 160°C.
2. Melt butter (or margarine) and syrup.
3. Add dissolved bicarbonate of soda and water.
4. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, add the liquid mixture and stir.
5. Place small balls of the mixture (about 1 teaspoon) onto a greased tray.
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
7. Lift biscuits onto a cake cooling rack and wait for them to cool.”

Wikipedia tells us that, for a while, the name ANZAC BISCUITS was used for a range of different recipes, ingredients sometimes including eggs, raisins, oats, coconut, or even jam

There are now restrictions on the use of the name ANZAC, and the name ANZAC BISCUIT

 what year did New Zealand become independent from New South Wales?

 (so far as the authors of the wikipedia article know)
the first recipe
combining the title ANZAC BISCUITS with the list of standard ingredients used today
was not published til what year?

 what’s my name?

I was an Arrernte man,
born in 1936 in Alice Springs
I began playing soccer in 1950 while living in Adelaide, and even tried out for some major English teams
& remained involved with soccer for most of my life

I married Eileen Munchenberg in 1961 and had two daughters (Hetti and Rachel), and a son (Adam)

I was the first Indigenous man to graduate from a tertiary institution,
(BA University of Sydney 1966)

perhaps i am most well known for the 1965
Freedom Ride – a bus tour through New South Wales
inspired by the US Civil Rights Freedom Ride campaign in 1961, and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa
We aimed to to publicise acts of blatant discrimination
experienced by Indigenous people.

in Walgett A local RSL club refused entry to Aboriginal people, including ex-servicemen who participated in the two World Wars.

On 20 February 1965, we tried to enter the swimming pool at Moree, where the local council had barred Aboriginal people from swimming since its opening 40 years earlier.

In response to this action, the riders faced physical opposition from several hundred local white Australians, including community leaders, and were pelted with eggs and tomatoes. These events were broadcast across Australia, and under pressure from public opinion, the council eventually reversed the ban on Aboriginal swimmers.
we then moved on, but were followed by a line of cars, one of which collided with the rear of their bus, forcing us to return to Moree where they found the council had reneged on their previous decision. we protested once again, forcing the council to remove the ban once more.

In the lead-up to the 1967 referendum i was manager of the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs,

In 1969 i began my career in Commonwealth government public service in what later became the Department of Aboriginal Affairs (DAA)

i was “given a year’s leave” from the public service after i spent a week with the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in 1975

My 1975 biography is called A Bastard Like Me

I was awarded an AO in 1987

at the time of my death in 200 i was the longest kidney transplant survivor in Australia.
In the period immediately following my death, i was known as Kumantjayi (surname), Kumantjayi being a name used to refer to a deceased person in Arrernte culture.

i was given a state funeral.
