23:21 – The Onsug’s favourite Cantonese-Australian is back, this time with her hapless partner in tow! Topics include superstitious numbers, an explanation for the show’s name change from Snake Tea, various Malaysian cereal-based comestibles, Japanese ÅŒgui, an inevitable COVID chat, jobs, Clara’s business trip to the Bahamas and New York for which Ruben harbours tremendous jealousy, and an exercise walk to Artarmon. Best enjoyed late at night with a boba.

Thanks for listening to Clara’s podcast! (´∀｀) 多è¬ä½ ï¼
29:37 – Join Ruben for a late-night wander around the abandoned Sydney suburb of Chatswood during these lockdown adventures. Topics include 100 days of COVID-19, stairwall-derived exercise, Australia and New Zealand’s potential new travel bubble, finding coffee shops, spooky silhouettes in the night, a Liverpool FC barber, JoAnne Hook paintings, active voice, saying “you too!†to retail staff, and the uncanny valley as it pertains to… sheep‽ Recorded Monday 4th May 2020.

39:20 – Wandering around a deserted Chatswood late at night, peeking into the empty stores, and watching the regular stream of empty commuter and metro trains roll by. Discussing working from home, trying to reconnect with music, critiquing streaming services, and a rose tinted view of audio tape.

25:32 – What started as a discussion regarding an ugly new concept car turned into pontifications about design, and anti-patterns in cars and websites. If overenginering is to make something intentionally more complicated for no benefit other than to ship product, why are we so compelled to do it? Or did I just answer my own question?

31:52 – Wait, didn’t we only just get Rubenerd Show 405?! Discussing the production of chip-based comestibles, submerged data centres, etymology behind radio buttons, being tired of Boomer and Millennial labels, and when meeting your hero perhaps wasn’t such a good idea.

34:32 – Making a caffeinated beverage LIVE on the show like I used to, remembering Murni’s Warung in Ubud, the joys of envelope budgeting, John Walkenbach from Whole Wheat Radio helping me through his Excel books all these years later, and why it’s still so difficult for people without IT backgrounds to export data from shut down sites.

52:15 – Forbidden 403 HTML status codes, unhelpful profiling, Australian bushfire updates (looters, conspiracy theories, hot takes), unexpected Adelaide nostalgia and early breakfasts, unintentional philosophical ramblings on the character and motivations of certain people, and an ongoing good natured but otherwise inexplicable retail saga. With thanks to Phil Collins.

24:25 – Thanking people for Australian bushfire feedback, Malcolm Turnbull’d internet, pronouncing abbreviations as acronyms (PPPoE… pehpehpehooee?), the Ricoh GR III camera, finding a stream and an old key in a forest near Cammeray, the plight of inefficient portable air conditioners, wooden shelving, and various challenges when selling incomplete anime figures.

20:56 – I intended this episode to be about something completely different, but now that every state in Australia is on fire, and my dad has evacuated his house, suddenly my other interests and topics seem less pressing. Thanks, and please consider donating to the NSW RFS.
