  • Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

    It’s important if you want to understand how the world works on a deeper level. There’s a reason that all scientific research is primarily presented in the written form.

    Although I assume OP is talking about fiction which is a different matter.




  • Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

    Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It’s not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you’re handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

    Not being able to set an event date and have “daily suggested workouts” follow that is my only annoyance, although I’ve been happy just using the defaults for now.








  • There are also concerns about the relationship between the consultancy firm hired to oversee the restructure, KordaMentha, and the interim UOW boss.

    KordaMentha was contracted to review UOW operations and people and culture in May.

    In June the university appointed KordaMentha partner John Dewar as interim VC on a 12-month contract.

    “We have essentially got a temporary fly-in, fly-out vice chancellor who is a partner in the firm that the university he runs has contracted to review the operations of the university,” said Dr Cahill.

    Quite sus. Also, John Dewar is this guy if you want a laugh.
