OMG I didnât see this! Thank you (and the 12 people who upvoted it!) youâre the best
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I was waiting for you to confirm this.
Happy Birthday Baku đ

I put in an application to volunteer at a cattery, and originally had to sign up for the orientation in April, but! They had a couple of cancellations so I get to attend tomorrow instead!
Yay! Finally, things are starting to turn around! Have to be up at sparrows fart though, to travel on two trams out to the SE, but definitely worth it!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Nice work! Sounds like itâll be a lot of fun!

Iâm hosting a training session this morning, but my new gaming rig JUST arrived. VERY tempted to go âOk gang! Today weâre setting up Windows 11 and installing steam and drivers! Are we ready? First up, does anyone know if Helldivers 2 or Boulders Gate 3 use their own launchers? No? Ok so hereâs how weâre going to find out!â
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I donât know what any of that means but couldnât you do one of those reviews like they do on YouTube. This is the box it comes in. This is whatâs inside. Letâs open it. Hereâs the instructionsâŠ. Make it stretch to a half an hour while everyone watching is thinking fucking hurry up.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Howâs windows 11 these days? Iâm still on 10 and hesitant to upgrade. Is it stable?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
One of my 'puters is 11 and itâs stable.
Only headscratcher was TPM 2.0 which was easily worked around with rufus.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So far? Seems stable, but yet to actually play anything. My laptop runs 11 and seems happy enough with it though.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Cool neighbour is going travelling for like 12 months and leaving a set of keys with me.
Basically told me to have at anything that edible, potable or smoke able.
Heâs a good egg
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Do you get the use of his car? Is it better than yours?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
He sold his car recently. So no.
bacon@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
careful with that time machine
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm cool with that one. The Gimp dungeon is where it gets interesting.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Stayed at home today. Feeling run down and sniffly. I slept in for quite awhile and decided to make chicken bullion soup with egg and veggies in it and boiling pasta with it.
Me thinks this weekend will be mostly soups for meals.

We still doing the 5G thing? Damn.

Weâre a little behind out here in the west
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I did warm calling for SP Ausnet, back when they were installing smart meters. Boy oh boy, the amount of drivel I heard about the âdangers of 5Gâ. Literally had one guy threaten to shoot our tech and myself. (I got him a police escort instead haha).
People are wack af
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Funny how they still use their phones and microwaves lol

I have quite a bit of life-admin to do today. Being an adult is so arduous sometimes. đ

The crow remake looks like a piece of shit.
Time to torrent the old one and watch it tonight in 4k.
Catfish@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm fed up with remakes in general. Yes, there are purportedly only X number of plots, but you could at least try to make something new.
Nath@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Some things need a remake. Lord of the Rings needed the remake and is now outstanding. Dune needed a remake, though I donât know if the new one is good.
The Mummy did not need a remake.
Total Recall did not need a remake.
The Crow did not need a remake.
maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm shocked at how oddly nondescript it looks. It looks like a boring revenge flick. Whatâs up with all these revenge flicks anyway? Someone needs to make a cinematic universe revenge spoof series. Whereâs Leslie Nielsen when we needed him most.

Forgot to mention Mrsâs Bâs car got a good mechanical check, its with the mechanic today getting the RWC sorted but so far it looks and feels pretty good for a 12 year old car. Might need to replace the stereo with something carplay compatible though. Lets just say Bluetooth tech has come a long way.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Definitely socking away money for carplay installation if I get a car without one (likely). Canât live without it now after getting used to it. So much safer than phone on a cradle

Shit 2 weeks at work and Iâm OK? Itâs my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have
But Iâm not doing great generally. Iâm feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to my energy to provide support for my team, but Iâm flagging.

I went on the puffing billy today. I didnât like it, but TIL that anything can become fun if you have people to shit talk with
Also maccas was broken. No drive through, no app, no self serve, no chocolate ice cream, no frappes, no receipts, no registers. They were hand writing the orders. I really did take a trip back in time today
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oh wild. I thought my maccas was just uniquely fucked.
They were still taking EFTPOS payments, Iâm pretty sure that at least for my store the issue was only that the orders could be put through, but the screens displaying them were all broken, so they closed the self serve and drive through so that peopleâs orders wouldnât be losf
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thereâs a Maccas out Puffing Billy way? I thought they protested that
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Idk whether there are or not, but we stopped at this maccas on the way back, so the other side of the city

Any music makers in here? Just curious.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Can I ask what genre of music you make? Where do you get your inspiration from? Favourite bands?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Hi! Sorry for the late reply đ
I listen to everything from Ben Harper and Jeff Buckley, to nine inch nails and Deftones.
My inspiration mainly comes from my past and my day to day life. I find it Iâm being a hermit then I lack inspiration. I need experiences to push my creative buttons.
These days I mainly make acoustic singer songwriter stuff, play in a punk band, and also make my own âEgyptian industrialâ weird thing lol
How about yourself?
DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
In the last couple of years Iâve been learning drums. Have had a few jams with a mate on guitar. Does that count? Tell me Iâm an ARTIST!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
It absolutely counts! Electric kit or acoustic?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
if you do stuff youâre an artist
but being an artist who is famous and earns a good living, thatâs something different again
some people want to be famous, some just want to do their stuff and maybe make themselves and other people happy and thatâs enough
Catfish@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The FishieCAT has earned a hat trick for disconnecting the internet three days in a row. It would help if the moron who installed the NBN box knew what plaster plugs were (or put it on the same wall as a power point)

tomorrow is day of the book smugglers in lithuania
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
đ€Ł
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
This interests me. ( these people are heroes )
Opposing imperial Russian authoritiesâ efforts to replace the traditional Latin orthography with Cyrillic, and transporting printed matter from as far away as the United States to do so, the book smugglers became a symbol of Lithuaniansâ resistance to Russification.
Book smuggler Jurgis Bielinis, who created a secret distribution network for banned Lithuanian books, was born on 16 March 1846, and this date is commemorated in Lithuania as the Day of the Book Smugglers (KnygneĆĄio diena).[5]

My CBDA oil and THC balm arrived in the mail today. Just so happened I had a cracking headache at lunch so I rubbed some balm on my temples and back of neck as described and it has actually fixed me right up!
You can literally just order this stuff online from a normal website. I had no idea. You do have to pay $1 to join their community, then you get access to the store and just buy stuff. Canât wait until our country catches up to other countries and we can head down to the local dispensary.

Boss calls: âCan you please call supplier and organise X?â Me: *does exactly that and notifies people boss requested" Half hour later, supplier calls: âYour boss just rang and asked for Y, can you please confirm?â
WHYYYYY ask me to do something, if youâre just going to call up and arrange different shit?!

Iâm thinking about the creamy coffee dumplings @justkitten was dreaming of.
I have zero energy and my stomach is being a massive jerk so I can also only dream, but I found a coffee pastry cream recipe. You could probably stir some condensed milk in there too for a Vietnamese coffee sort of taste.
I was thinking the thin slippery unleavened dumpling skins might not go well so I wondered about sweetening a pork bun dough recipe, making it like bao.
Then I found out Cantonese custard buns exist. Perhaps if you cooked the pastry cream down thick enough or added coffee to the intended custard filling it might work. It doesnât look quite creamy though.
