It is pretty bad in Melbourne. I am rather the social butterfly to gain information - I know a lot of the service station owners in my area. They have had a lot of theft and people hoarding fuel (filling storage bottles). Diesel is like $3.30/litre atm, and all our contractors are hitting us with fuel fees on top of delivery.

@ROOBIO Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the earnest and vulnerable words.

@Leo Gura Does pickup teach you to sit with and endure discomfort? Without making it the central aim - obviously the pootang is the aim

Glad to roll with it then! It is your creation, after all

@Xonas Pitfall I agree with Leo above! You really break people's premise and stances down in a thorough way with openness and good faith. Much better than me - I tend to just go 'Yeah, no. This is wrong' and do not always have the energy to go into how and why Which pisses some people off...

@CARDOZZO Will try this!! Will try this next. Then possibly throw myself out the window just to really solve all problems

Oh boy - have fun What distro? I've always marvelled it is free. I donate what I can to all the software I use that is free. Even if it's just a buck or two.

Thank you all for helping me troubleshoot - it is a minor issue in the scheme of things. Gives my mind some time to chew the fat while I key in my login details each time, at least

Tried this - but will try again regardless. I have gone in and changed that setting also - I will give it some time as you recommend.

@CARDOZZO Do you mean like when you initially load the forum index? Or when you load the page and it is retrieved as cached version? In both cases, I previously loaded the pages logged in 100% of the time. Now, it is a coinflip; I might load actualized.org and be logged in. I might load it 5 minutes later and I am logged out - then I click a subforum and I find myself logged in. Other times, I load the website totally logged out - go to a subforum - I remain logged out. All within a single session of the browser running. Regardless of it I have a tab open with another page from the Actualized.org forum. Quite the strange thing.

Oooooh! I haven't read this - but I will add it to the list

Heh heh indeed - it always comes down to defining terms Also if we speak from relative or absolute

Free will and agency are a lie - I just roll on as if they are true operationally. That means I take action to influence a potential outcome when opportunity arises. I don't know I will obtain the outcome I desire, I just need to wisdom to know when to act. And then proceed to act on the greatest statistical likelihood of me producing what I want. Pick the right time and thing and take action. I actually don't mind living this way, because I am way less attached to outcome. And less of my own ego gets in the way - especially professionally

@Xonas Pitfall it is the way @Leo Gura states things matter of fact & with confident delivery. Things become hard to filter (opinion from teaching/truth) because there is spitball Leo, and there is teacher/facilitator Leo. I normally probe for further nuance/clarification. So it requires everything taken in good faith. Unless Leo is being a naughty and reacting egoically - which we all do from time to time

They are TINY! I love them - they come marching out of the ocean at Phillip Island CUTENESS OVERLOAD
