I’m feeling depressed as hell. Internet Archive lost a copyright lawsuit and rare books or resources that could be unavailable in any other way might be lost.
I have to go to eBay or Amazon for even a hope of finding some classic art books secondhand and even then a used copy could be $50, $70, $100 plus. If I can even find it.
If you change your mind. Been using it over a decade. No issues.
Thanks, I just genuinely don’t know what I’m doing and don’t want to stress over it
the high seas might be the place to go
So how long is a warranty on something like headphones? I need to go to jb hifi to return some but it’s been almost a year or a bit longer.
Can’t seem to find the info anywhere. I’m probably googling the wrong thing.
You’re probably good within a year as long as they didn’t cost like 10 bucks or something.
Warranty length is usually on a slip of paper with the headphones.
Also you have the Australian consumer law to rely on as a backup that can not be overruled.
I’m not super sure, but 1 year is typically the standard wqarranty period from what I’ve seen. My $2 earbuds from Officeworks, and most anko stuff from Kmart has a year warranty. Some stuff goes up to 2
I’d probably go in anyway and see what they can do for you. JB tend to be pretty alright from my experience. Probably largely to do with them putting like a 90% markup on almost everything they sell unless you get a price beat or try to haggle
I found this but idk if it’s applicable
Here I am StudSpud the Starchy
The poetic potato aficionado
But in real life I’m actually partly
Just your average f5 tornadoI don’t look like an actual potato
I’m not a hot-as-fuck stud
I’m just a long dormant volcano
And now I’m certainly not a chudHuh. Old school friend (who I lost touch with and have tried to find in and off) friended me on FB and asked me to a mumble year school reunion.
Would love to catch up with her, but as for the other? I’d rather remove my own epidermis with a potato peeler.School reunions - yeah, removing skin with a rusty lid of a tin can would be preferable.
One 10% assignment done. Now to do a 20% one today, then the 40% ones due this week and the week after. Not even worrying about the ones after that yet. I feel like I’m making a tiny bit of progress.
You can do it! You are doing it! You are smart! You are articulate! You are awesome! 💜💜💜
Thank you Spud <33
One step at a time.
I’ve found that there are few tasks or things in life that can’t be broken down into small easier steps. Just get good at each step.
You have so got this. 👍
Absolutely agree. Thanks Seagoon :)
If you cut your steps in half, then halve them again, then it doesn’t matter what size feet you have - because you’re still steppin’.
Just watched the new series of “Only Murders in the Building”. It’s such a terrific show, very entertaining.
Portuguese-style sardines don’t taste any different to any other sardines in oil. There, bang, I said it.
TIL about AI generated books, some of which are dangerous. These mushroom hunting books are wrong and could kill. So what other fake books are out there?
I always thought the machines would do the labour, and the people would make the art. Yet here we are.
It’s absolutely being used to avoid employing or paying people. Or giving them ‘editing’ jobs for a fraction of the pay.
Internet Archive also lost its copyright case. So generative AI/LLMs get to access and to take everything but humans aren’t allowed to have an archive of resources that would otherwise be lost.
Seriously fuck this corporate netscape
That fucking sucks. I’ve relied on internet archive a lot in the past. Wish I had enough storage to grab parts of it before they got taken down.
They haven’t been taken down but they did lose access to 500,000 books.
My legs are shot. 25kms isn’t a super long ride, but you feel it when you’re towing 2 kids and the last stretch is up hill
My daughter one day “Daddy, why have we slowed down?”. And here’s my poor husband sweating bullets and pedalling as hard as he could while crossing the western highway on an overpass.
I’m so frustrated about my health and living situation. I was never hugely sporty but did like walking and tai chi and would love the energy/chance to garden. I’d love to be exercising and prepping good meals.
Even just getting away from the toxic elements of where I live would be amazing.
I’m feeling in the mood for nice 90s movies… Just watching Grosse Pointe Blank (TEN YEARS!!! TEN YEARS, MAN!!) and it’s great fun. Any other recommendations for something similarly silly and nostalgic?

This cow in a Geelong show ad seems to have 4 front legs👀
Adobe generative fill is really calling out the editors who don’t pick up these mistakes 😂
Bwahaha!! Do supermarkets still do the 6 legged chicken deal?
the third cow from the left has two pairs of back legs
AI art?
Has to be. Things in the background look blobby and weird too
Kind of AI. I think it’s Adobe generative fill. There was probably something in the way, and someone has used the generative fill tool to make the cow have legs, but didn’t check or edit it after too make sure it looked correct haha
Could be AI, but I think all their legs are a bit off, but the tops of the cows seem okay, so I reckon something was blocking the cows legs in the photo, and and editor has used that tool to ‘fix’ it
Oh my god I zoomed in and yeah that’s just like cow soup back there
I’ve seen worse in geelong (sorry geelong people).
CHRISTMAS DECO ALREADY?!
Fuck off, Halloween first!
I went to Love Lombard in Preston today for Christmas crackers in the colour that I require. They have an absolute fuckload of Halloween stuff if you’re interested. Floating heads in crystal balls, all manner of skulls, vampire rats like WTF, living dead girls and so on.
Clearly just big fans of the Nightmare Before Christmas. That way it’s still Halloween themed.
Christmas decos go up the first Saturday or Sunday of December and come down the first Saturday or Sunday of January
Ha. Mine go up the final week before Christmas if that and the tree Christmas Eve, and down around the 6th January.
I used to be an up Chrissy eve, down boxing day type of person, but other people didn’t like that, so I let it exist for a month now
Sun out. Open window. Sun goes. Temp drops and wind starts. Close window. Repeat. One of THOSE days hey Melbourne?
Yeah, I’m doing the ‘do I paint the fence/not paint the fence?’
Well over out west it’s definitely settled on overcast and rainy so I’m gonna say no
I’m very happy to bump it to another day, lol
yup, I have a jumper on but technically it’s still winter so it’s to be expected
