@BenjaminNelan@mastodon.social @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social that'd be right. Amazon order? According to Wikipedia, everywhere on earth uses a PW configuration, EXCEPT the US, which inexplicably uses PE.

@dropbear@aus.social after our "go for a final fourth" became "final fourth, fifth, and sixth" my wife decided that enough is enough(!) and asked the surgeon to tie her tubes while they had her all opened up during the caesarian. Paper signed, ready to go. He still felt it necessary to reconfirm after three little humans had just been pulled out of her! "Just get on with it!", was her response.

@jcholle@aus.social we've had wallabies and pademelons grazing our backyard on a regular basis down south Tassie the last few summers through autumn. In suburbia. Decided not to mow last time I did the front lawn. We have water out as well. It's so dry.

@dropbear@aus.social somewhat! Especially considering we knew one of the three had major congenital heart defects that had a huge crew of specialists ready to "deal with" (they hadn't been able to fully work out what was going on with that whole circulatory system) so we weren't even sure if we would end up with all three! So timing was... not great.😬😳
