  • I don’t like wearing pants much, usually only when it’s really cold or something formal. At my previous job I was the only person who wore shorts. Some people from the sales department were jealous because they weren’t allowed to wear them.

    I had planned that if they tried to enforce it with us that I’d swap to kilts, and if that was a problem I’d have demanded that the ladies not wear skirts or dresses as that would be sexist.

    I quit before it came to that, but a few more people started wearing shorts before I’d left, and that was enough.


  • From Wikipedia:

    In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya (‘sun’), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (卍) is called sauvastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali.

    I thought the big difference came down to the direction it was facing, but turns out both directions are the Hindu way with different meaning. And depending which side of the cake or the slice you look at it will be both ways. The other distinction between the two is that the Nazi one is usually tilted to 45 degrees.

    My first pineapple fruited about 18 months ago, and then grew 5 pups? Storks? I was expecting 2-3 from what I read so I was pretty excited.

    I also planted 3 more between 9-12 months, so was hoping something would grow this summer (Australia) but might have to wait for next year. I haven’t seen any signs of fruiting yet.
