--- Quote from: Farideh on 30 Jun 2020, 20:03 ---Ha, the first thing I checked in that comic was: "is that REALLY mouthwash, or something else?" :D

Also: morning Beepatrice! I wish I could wake up as happy and motivated as you. My morning exercise consists of ignoring my alarm clock for 30 mins.

My morning routine consists mostly of ill-tempered guttural grunts and poorly coordinated fumbling in the general direction of the coffee machine.

Tova:

* Wake up to meows and claws of hungry cats
* Stumble downstairs, try not to fall down stairs*
* Switch on coffee machine (priorities)
* Feed hungry cats - this involves putting some of the food into a cat puzzle to slow down the dominant cat so he doesn't finish his and then steal the other cat's breakfast
* Make coffee for partner
* Play with cats for a bit, give them a final treat
* Make coffee and breakfast for myself, try not to let cats eat it
* Glance at news and forums, try not to lose too much hope in humanity**
* Shower and shave, try not to cut myself**** If I had to bet on how I'm likely to go, falling down the stairs first thing in the morning would have to be a short-priced favourite.
** I really need to make this step optional
*** Incidentally, typing is hard with a band-aid on your finger****
*** Don't ask

Oh, and sharks.
And snakes.
And....y'know what? Just assume EVERYTHING here wants to eat/kill you. My cat is living proof.

To be fair, there aren't that many things in Australia that want to kill you. I've lived here my whole life, and I haven't had more than - what, about half a dozen encounters with lethal venomous wildlife? - And only a couple of them were likely to actually kill me if they'd bitten me - and I've only been bitten once on the hand by a spider which wasn't that bad as it only left me numb to the shoulder for an hour or so - and stingers at the beach are something you learn to live with - and the inch-ants are quite docile (misnamed really, as they're more like two inches) - and angry bee-swarms  can happen anywhere...
 So, yeah, it's not that bad here:

See, when someone in my country has an encounter with deadly venomous wildlife… it’s usually something Australian that hitched a ride here in a cargo container.

Zebediah:
Compare to my experience living in North America my entire life. I’ve had precisely one encounter with potentially deadly wildlife of the nonhuman variety, and the rattlesnake had the courtesy to warn me before I stepped on it. It didn’t want to bite me and I didn’t want to step on it, so there was room for mutual understanding and accommodation.

Farideh:
Roko, no! Stop channeling Emperor Palpatine! It'll age you prematurely.
