Reminded me, walked past a mariachi on Sydney rd yesterday singing at the local taqueria . All I could think of was Tuyo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJm7H9IP5SU

I saw them in concert by accident.
Ended up eating hot dogs from a street vendor with them after the show and talking about career choices and how I should continue with my education.
Top 10 experience in my life

Iâm told itâs coming up soon! đ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I burnt my fingers last night which prompted me to yell some very very bad words followed by DO NOT COME INTO THE KITCHEN. WE ARE NOT EATING TONIGHT and Iâm not even a yeller.
Theyâre still red today but atleast the swelling has gone down and nothing beer o clock canât fix.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
weeee, 2 weeks of break finally.
Also finally figured out a few things with my car, Somehow I ended up with a leak thanks to a plastic bag being stuck in my back boot and water seeped in via that and made a giant pool where my spare type compartment was.
Discovered it while I was at work and furiously got some containers to scoop as much of the water out.
When I got home I paper toweled and dried everything as much as possible and lifted the compartment panel which will hopefully air dry what little is left but finally now I can rest easy know where that mysterious slushing sound of water was coming from whenever I stopped at a set of traffic lights.
Ok, Iâm tired now and need food!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I tried to put the harness on Ted.
I survived without being mauled but it was close. The harness is not on him.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oh poor Ted. And poor you.
Maybe leave it out for a few days so he can have a sniff and see that it doesnât attack him? Putting it on might be step two.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Heâs just not tame enough. I can hardly pat him without being bit . At least he doesnât hiss at me anymore when I feed him.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Gibson fucked me up when I tried the harness. She hardly ever hisses but yeah, lesson learned.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
oh no. Melbcat is placid while I put hers on but she crouches or flops
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Put it on him for meals maybe?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Heâs a rescue and close to feral. Wouldnât work. I just wanted him to be able to go out for walks. đ€·ââïž
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Love rainy mornings that clear up before lunch. Something very refreshing about it.
Just waiting for my neighbour to start watering his lawn nowâŠ
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Just out of spite, at exactly 11:59 it started raining again
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I was about to go hang up a load of washingâŠalas it was not meant to be
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
My back yard is pretty close to the EPA declaring it a natural wetland. Couldnt even imagine watering it.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thatâs because you have a life outside of your lawn :)
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Eldest minipeeler accidentally kicked Miniest full in the face while sparring last night. He was mortified and ran to his room upset; she thought he was going for a high kick and basically ducked straight into it. Sheâs ok after a little blood nose but I keep telling them to knock it off, âstarts in laughter ends in tearsâ kind of thing, someone will get hurt, not enough room in a small crowded living room etc. Iâm only their mother, what do I know✠My siblings were from my parents previous marriages and almost adults by the time I was born, so Iâm not used to the mucking around casual violence of children growing up together, and sometimes feel emotionally ill-equipt to parent it
wscholermann@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Had to keep it real with a Vietnamese teenage boy and inform him that Koalas are not naturally cuddly and in fact can be quite vicious and scratch you. Only Koalas kept in captivity will tolerate at best human contact.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So you killed some poor bastardâs dream?
wscholermann@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I saved him from future Koala assault.

I decided to venture back to IKEA just for the funnies. Apparently if you become family with the IKEA you get 50% off the restaurant on Fridays, so they taught me how to do that. Then I saw they give you discounts on containers so I was like I may as well buy one while Iâm here. Then when I was checking out a couple of IKEA people came up to me and asked if I scanned the container.
So uhh, TIL (the hard way) at IKEA you need to scan and pay for containers and their lids. The lids do not come with the containers
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Wait what? TIL
I thought they were a package deal
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeah nah
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Just saw yet another accident. Ute got inpatient waiting behind a truck going straight so tried to drive down the wrong side of the road to get to the right turn lane and clipped the side of the truck. Low speed, so minor and no injuries, but it did jumpscare me lol. Then he nearly reversed into us

I like the name of this song, want to direct some of these words to someone right now.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Sing it loud. Sing it proud my friend.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Peter Dutton, itâs just constant daily cuntery with him. Every word out of his mouth is offensive.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I couldnât think of anyone more cuntier.
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Ok so I was going to do classic movie + pizza night tonight but Iâm really not feeling very hungry. I havenât really eaten much today either. I did have a plate of Sweden meatballs from IKEA (pretty sure it would have been illegal not to), but thatâs really all Iâve eaten today. And watching the godfather without pizza just doesnât feel right.
I might just watch more prisoner. Iâm about half way through the 600 episodes
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Like old school Prisoner? Vinegar Tits and The Freak?
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yep. Iâm an odd youngin, arenât I?

Duenan@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I bought some frozen pizzas today from Aldi for later in the week maybe, so tempted but must prioritise other food first.
Got 2 Meat Lovers and 1 Hawaiian.
What sort of pizza are you having?
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
One âOld Mateâ - mushrooms, Gorgonzola, pesto, basil and similar deliciousness. And a margherita.
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Omg! I was going to as well! But then I had Smeat balls and got tired so rescheduled to tomorrow maybe
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago

Sick today. Can barely get out of bed.
I wonât be working out when Iâm still recovering from DOMS in the future.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Mmmm my house smells like vinegar and now I want fish and chips đ€€
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Whatâs the best fish and chips in your area?
Catfish@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Canât give glowing reports on either of the 2. Charles ST would be thecpoorer.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Flakes on Sydney Road or Docks Fish and Chips. Last time I went to Docks and was not disappointed at all! I usually go to Flakes, though.

Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
took 4.5 hrs back from the bellarine.
Everything went wrong⊠time for wine.
The funniest was at the 48 stop outside southern x and the arrival kept ticking from 3mins, to 2, back to 3, then 1 for a solid 15 mins. Then it arrives with no one on it. Sort of like the movie ghost ship.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Kew, so close yet so far away. Honestly it boggles the mind how long the tram takes. A good chunk of time is just spent going down Collins St and creakily turning into Vic Pde. Not having a train is a bit of a far Kew to residents.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Decided to play Fallout 4 again, and made the female player character as Marilyn Monroe as I could. The husband I made James Dean but he died early (too soon?) so no harm lol.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Elder minipeeler loves the whole Fallout 4 thing. Being an idle observer of his gaming, I find fallout 4 and RDR2 to be the most entertaining games he plays.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I really love Fallout 4, but I definitely reccomend Fallout: New Vegas. It can be hard going to an older graphic style, and I donât think there is an option to sprint, but if Master Elder Minipeeler likes F4, then I reckon they will love NV. The world building is incredible, the quests, the companions, the everything is just a real big 9/10. If it goes on sale I 100% reccomend picking it up.
There are some heavy themes, however, as one of the factions (Caesers Legion) is heavily misogynistic. But you donât have to side with them, and you can definitely murder them all lol. Wishing them safe travels and high adventure in The Commonwealth (and the Mojave, if you get NV :D)
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I am so ready for work to be over. Today has been a day of no wins. Bring on the weekend!
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Kind of actually very grateful now that I didnât start my new job today. I have ended up with a mountain of admin! Got accepted to my course but there was a whole bunch of calling and form-filling that followed due to unique circumstances. That took a few hours. And I got my latest power bills which FINALLY prodded me to do the annual switch (several months overdue - couldâve been saving $50 a month! - but better late than never). Plus Iâm waiting on the pre purchase inspection results for the car, any minute now I should be getting a phone call and email to go through the options, then I need to enter negotiations (urgh).
A friend wants me to go help them with some measurements and shit around 4:30pm today, thatâll get me out of the house which is great.
Meanwhile, the shit is starting to go down again in the Middle East. Maybe this is a bad time to be buying an ICE car, but at least this one has relatively low fuel consumptionâŠ
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So I went to kmart to buy a dog harness and lead for ted cat because the cat ones are too small. This way I hope to let him have some outside time without running away.
I havenât attempted to put it on him yet. đŹ Photos coming soon.

Iâve been road testing Aldiâs organic black tea because Choice declared it the best tea and I donât know how it came to that conclusion. Iâm not good at describing liquids but Iâll give it a go anyway.
Thereâs a distinct taste of floral. It wasnât overly strong. Definite dry aftertaste on the palate. To me it lacked a base taste. Like if tea was 3D then this would be 2D. It tasted flat.
It would be good as a Billy tea because it had a bushy earthy taste. Bushells, Tetley, Twinings all taste better imo. Anyway it wasnât bad, Iâll keep drinking it but I wouldnât buy it again. 3.5 / 5 yum yums.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
McIvers is the go if you can find it. Tramtracker or Rosie Crow blends
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve been finding that quite a bit with Aldi teas (Diplomat brand). Itâs got front flavour notes, but no depth.
Problem can be solved by using two bags, but then youâre paying the same as a major brand.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Itâs good to know itâs not just me.
I bought some more coffee from there. I remembered you said to pick one from South America. Choice of Peru and Honduras. I picked Peru.

Itâs been happening for at least ten years. âOn both sides.â
Intolerance is the message. They say, âDonât talk with people who have different ideas, all opposing beliefs are evil and the others must be rejected, even family.â
Discussion and conciliation are never even discussed as options.
The way you can tell itâs a troll of an adversary, such as Russia or Iran, is that solutions are never offered or asked for.
Unfortunately many well meaning people just repeat these methods with thinking.
What to do. Be vigilant in asking questions and asking for solutions. Be careful of when others use emotionally charged political words. Be morally and legally consistent. A crime is a crime no matter who does it. A good action is good no matter who does it.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
PSA: this is not medicare, if you get this message just ignore and delete. I get quite a few spam/scam texts, but I figured Iâd put this here because this one is impersonating medicare.
Remember, they wouldnât send you a link to click, and always read the URL. Itâs always going to be something thatâs dodgy.

I reported it with PhishReport (that website I mentioned the other day), and hereâs what that looks like for anyone curious:
First you open a case on PR:
Then you submit it to google safe browsing
Then to Microsoftâs Threat Intelligence page:
Then to the domain registrar (who provide the domain (site) name). In this case itâs NameSilo and theyâre kind of shit when it comes to this sort of thing, but they do do their job so I canât complain I guess:
Then normally youâd submit a report to their domain host (who actually host the phishing page), but they use a Chinese host, Tencent, who really donât want to do anything so they make it difficult and phish report doesnât have a link to their phishing report page, just their copyright takedown page, so youâd probably need to email them. I decided to not bother for now
It seems that a lot of scams now are based out of China. Most of the phishing links I get, at least the ones targetting Australians, are coming from china. And Chinese companies really really really do not want to do anything about such phishing and scam websites. Tencent always cause me problems when I try to report them. They also demand all your personal information, so I submit my reports to them with false information, because I donât really want them passing along my address and personal information to criminals. But thatâs unfortunately just how it is now
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Whoa Baku! Youâre a good egg! I had no idea about any of this, thank you!
Is that the same Tencent that owns all those gaming publishers/devs/IPsâœ
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Got this exact one a few days ago. And a call from Thailand. And of course, my tolls are once again unpaid. I really feel sorry for older people. The scam situation is out of control.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Lol! My partner got the toll one last night - we donât own a car nor drive đ
I also feel bad for the oldies, itâs fucked how many of these texts are sent
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I get those too
Does medicare even send messages sat 2am?
Catfish@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Highly doubtful. I did get a COViD confirmation at a similar stupid time, but that was full lockdown etc.
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Update: namesilo placed their domain into Client hold, which essentially renders their domain useless unless removed.
If youâre into a more technical explanation that hopefully doesnât just sound like jargon:
spoiler
Basically what theyâve done is deactivate whatâs known as DNS records. DNS records are what actually tells visitors browsers where the site itself is. The site itself is on a Tencent server somewhere in china and still exists (it hasnât been deleted or removed or anything). But without the DNS records, people visiting the dodgy domain have no way to know where the sites content is. I imagine namesilo will not be renewing their domain, so that means for the next year or so, the site will not be visitable.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I got a scam toll text that actually got past the spam filter recently. I checked my account through the proper means and found out Linkt had been charging me a manual lookup fee because my e-tag hasnât been working. This has been going on for years.
And you wonder why they choose toll payments as their scam
Baku@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I ended up watching crocodile Dundee. What a fun movie. A+
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Very enjoying Baby Reindeer on Netflix. It is quite strange, and very good imo. TL:dr: Failing comedian leads on a stalker, even after knowing sheâs a stalker. Shit gets weird. Themes are quite dark, and include rape and sexual assault. Only 4 EPs in but would recommend
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Canât sleep. One of those night where you canât stop thinking.
