  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!

  I’m hosting a training session this morning, but my new gaming rig JUST arrived. VERY tempted to go “Ok gang! Today we’re 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 here’s how we’re going to find out!”

    I don’t know what any of that means but couldn’t you do one of those reviews like they do on YouTube. This is the box it comes in. This is what’s inside. Let’s open it. Here’s the instructions…. Make it stretch to a half an hour while everyone watching is thinking fucking hurry up.

    How’s windows 11 these days? I’m still on 10 and hesitant to upgrade. Is it stable?

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      One of my 'puters is 11 and it’s stable.

    I’m 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.

    source

    • Nath@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Some things need a remake. Lord of the Rings needed the remake and is now outstanding. Dune needed a remake, though I don’t 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.

    I’m shocked at how oddly nondescript it looks. It looks like a boring revenge flick. What’s up with all these revenge flicks anyway? Someone needs to make a cinematic universe revenge spoof series. Where’s Leslie Nielsen when we needed him most.

  Forgot to mention Mrs’s B’s 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.

    Definitely socking away money for carplay installation if I get a car without one (likely). Can’t live without it now after getting used to it. So much safer than phone on a cradle

  I went on the puffing billy today. I didn’t 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

      Oh wild. I thought my maccas was just uniquely fucked.

      They were still taking EFTPOS payments, I’m 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 people’s orders wouldn’t be losf

    Can I ask what genre of music you make? Where do you get your inspiration from? Favourite bands?

    source

    • Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Hi! Sorry for the late reply 🙂

      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 I’m 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 “Egyptian industrial” weird thing lol

      How about yourself?

      if you do stuff you’re an artist

      but being an artist who is famous and earns a good living, that’s 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 that’s enough

      This interests me. ( these people are heroes )

      Opposing imperial Russian authorities’ 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 Lithuanians’ 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 (Knygnešio diena).[5]

  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. Can’t wait until our country catches up to other countries and we can head down to the local dispensary.

  I’m 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 doesn’t look quite creamy though.
