So i just posted a story. it didn’t seem appropriate for the DT so I just put it to Melbourne. If you go camping at all, I urge you to read it. Learn from my mistakes. Cause as of last week i would of told you what happened was impossible and I was in no way dumb enough to fuck up THAT badly.
You lived, you won.
Yeah alls well that ends well. Didn’t root the car either. got a well deserved talking to from the Mrs though.
That’s some story, glad you made it out of that situation in the end.
Very true about relying on your gps when you’re going way out and don’t know an area as well.
I came back from a wedding out in the country and was 100% trusting the gps in the middle of the night.
If it had sent me off-road I would have done it before knowing something was wrong.
In the movie “As good as it gets”, Melvin pays for a doctor for Carols kid. I’d like to be rich enough to pay for a doctor who listens to me about my health problems and helps find actual solutions.
The “sorry can’t help, ” stuff from lazy doctors who don’t care is just bullshit. (Private and bulk bill). Worse is the “never seen that before” don’t know from specialists.
I just want some sleep without my nose blocking up and leaving me with headaches, constant exhaustion etc. let alone the other disabling, life fucking up stuff. But I look fine on the outside.
Tell me about it. It’s taken years to find someone that will listen
I really don’t care for all this AI crap that the likes of Google and Instagram are trying to push. Like seriously fuck off with it. It’s annoying.
It saddens me how “AI” is hurting creatives. Deeply saddens me. But that’s a whole other rant.
The big problem is that they are taking the same sort of approach that Microsoft did with it’s stupid paperclip that everyone hated. People want useful tools, not a system which actually blocks you from doing what you want and instead constantly tries to override what you want to do and know.
There’s no escape from the hubris of capitalism and morons who think AI is the next big thing. It’s not even true AI!
I always write a big shopping list but when I actually go, I get in there, grab the bare essentials and get the fuck out in record time.
I can be looking at the shopping list in the actual shop and just not get the things. 🤪
Oh tell me about it. The first item on my list might be the most important and I’ll still forget it. 😂
You’d think I had a kilo of meth if you saw me at the supermarket. I hate it with a passion. I just want to get out as quickly as possible.
I like the grocery list app I use. You can group items so that things close together in the shop are together on the list. And when you cross off an item it moves it out of the list so you can easily see if you have everything.
Ugh I just want to strangle Microsoft sometimes. I’m constantly getting annoying notifications for shit I don’t care about, but the one time I get an important email they decide to just not bother sending the notification 😐
I thought that perhaps I was not paying attention and dismissed the notification, but my phone logs 24 hours of notifications and they really never did. Apparently at 8:52am they sent me a notification to say they were optimising the database, so that’s nice. As long as I know what background tasks it’s doing that’s all that matters I suppose 🤦♂️
Just loaded up my phone with a bunch of new audiobooks which I obtained completely legally and would never dream of getting from torrents. Looking forward to getting stuck into a new story.
I too would never dream of getting books off torrents, especially not after spending $15 for a book audible are now going to cancel in a week.
Let us know if you find any favourites! Always looking for recommendations
Getting a bit sick of going over to the p’s place and half the conversation is about them feeling cold. Tonight was 6 times. Their place is at 23c.
I’ve tried to explain layering with light clothes, doing some light activity a few times a day when they feel it, thermals…
I understand it becomes hard to regulate temp. at that age which is why layering is a good one. Gets a bit hot, take one off… not doing it for you put it back on rinse and repeat.
They’ve been on so many trips to cold places over the years and they’re swimming in warm clothing, but they just… don’t.
It’s like complaining about being rained on when you’re holding an expensive unopened umbrella.
Frustrating.
It’s likely to be circulation issues more than actual cold, in which case extra clothing does not help as much. More activity would be helpful as that stimulates circulation, but an electric heated blanket might be a good option for them.
bloody hell, I’ve been resting in bed to heal my back, minute I get up Ted jumps on my pillow and snuggles in. 😡🤣
I get that when I get up to pee in the middle of the night. It’s not a polite discussion at that stage of night.
Gotta love people on social media who are told by multiple people that they are basically wrong in what they are saying and just double down and start insulting everyone. Not a great character trait.
Got a real horrible suspicion Israel has just fired off a shot in the next middle eastern conflict. No evidence, completely wild speculation on my behalf. But after the whole Stuxnet business you’d be crazy to underestimate 'em.
Edit: really hope I’m wrong here! just want to say it so that if it turns out this way I can point back to it and go “See! i told you I wasn’t crazy!”
why not just bomb the IRGC
Anything’s possible I guess. But I saw some footage on tv and it’s pea soup fog density in the area. Plausible they just got too close to the ground. But also you’d think that pilots in that region should be experienced flying in foggy mountainous area. From what I understand of the politics his death likely won’t cause any significant changes. But could be revenge or a warning shot. Could be genuine accident. We’ll never know.
That’s my theory as well. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve fucked with Iran. Also I’m sure the US is well aware of what’s going on.
So I think it went ok. I almost accidentally said my non Aussie name lol
But otherwise I did the best I could. It was with 3 people. The tech side wasn’t as intense as I thought. They were happy with what I knew how to do in AD.
Still going to continue studying AD and then Azure just to get my skills up regardless.
That’s cool. 😊
Fingers crossed for you!
Ahhhhhh that’s great!! You’re doing awesome!
Thankfully my headache eased up, maybe with the help of some Panadol.
Got my haircut, did some light snack shopping and got the sealant.
Sadly too dark to really do anything or any patching up.
I’m not sure if this was a smart decision but I used some blu tak to seal down some spots in the meanwhile until I can properly deal with it but even then I’m not sure if that’s the source of my leakage problems.
Hmm
___It’s hard work being adorable.
They’re so smooth and cool about it, so high up on the pedestal we monkeys worship them upon 😍
Movie review. Plague Goat, aka Get the Goat. A Brazilian parody of Beverley Hills Cop.
It’s weird in a glorious way.
Worth it just to hear The Heat Is On in choro beats
3 hobbits
Just a had a hookup steal from me on his way out the door.
It was just a sample size moisturiser that was near my bathroom sink (and I have a full-size bottle of it in the bathroom cabinet…) but, still, what is wrong with people? 🙄
I feel like there’s a joke about hotels somewhere here, but I can’t quite think it
Guess I better check my dressing gowns and bath towels are still here too
What is the world coming to?
What a travesty of a human. 😭
