Ranking the Go8 mottos, which one's your favourite?

Fell down a rabbit hole on the Group of Eight mottos the other day and honestly a lot of them go pretty hard. Most are just Latin flexes (affectionate). Here's the lineup:

  1. ANU – Naturam Primum Cognoscere Rerum
    "First, to know the nature of things"

  2. UoM (Melbourne) – Postera Crescam Laude
    "I shall grow in the esteem of future generations"

  3. USYD – Sidere Mens Eadem Mutato
    "Though the constellations change, the mind stays the same"

  4. UNSW – Scientia Manu et Mente
    "Knowledge by hand and mind"

  5. UQ – Scientia ac Labore
    "By knowledge and hard work"

  6. Monash – Ancora Imparo
    "I am still learning" (fun fact: this one's actually Italian, not Latin — supposedly Michelangelo)

  7. UWA – "Seek Wisdom" (didn't even bother with Latin lol)

  8. Adelaide – Sub Cruce Lumen
    "The light of learning under the Southern Cross"

Which one's your fav?

Stuck in Facebook Protect enrollment — "Something went wrong" every time I click Get Started. Can't log in at all now. Anyone gotten past this?

I manage a company Facebook account that I use for day-to-day community replies (it's tied to our business page). A couple of days ago, instead of loading normally, login now forces me into a "Review your login security" screen saying my account "has the potential to reach many people" so Advanced Protection + two-factor are required before I can continue.

The problem: the moment I click "Get started," I get a popup that just says "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting it fixed." And that's it — I can't proceed, and I can't get into the account at all.

What I've already tried over the past day:

- Different browsers + incognito, cleared cache/cookies

- Web vs the mobile app, both fail the same way

- Different network / device

- Waiting several hours and retrying

- Password reset: I CAN receive the code and enter it successfully, but right after that it just dumps me back onto the same broken security/verification screen. So it's clearly not a password problem — the Protect enrollment step itself is what's broken, and resetting just loops me back into it.

Questions for anyone who's been through this:

  1. Did the loop eventually clear on its own, or did something specific break it?

  2. Is there a way to reach an actual Meta person for this? (It's a business/page account if that changes the support path.)

  3. Anything else worth trying before I assume the account is stuck?

Any working fix or recent experience would really help — thanks.

Is it worth flying back for grad ceremony?

Bit of a dilemma and could use some honest takes.

I graduated last year and I'm back in my home country working now. August Grad ceremony's coming up and I genuinely can't decide if I should take leave and fly back for it.

The thing is I've never actually walked at a graduation before, so part of me feels like I'll regret skipping it. But I keep hearing UNSW ceremonies are kinda mid? Like the stage and the whole flow feel pretty rushed compared to USyd from what people say. Not sure it's worth the flights + leave + jetlag just to walk across a stage for 5 seconds.

For those who went: was it actually worth it, or did you walk out going "yeah that was a waste of a weekend"? And for those who skipped it, any regrets?
