    Heading back from the bellarine today.

    Heart always sinks when you open vline and next to the geelong line is the CURSE of the little yellow spanner.

    My bad for not checking earlier.

    But jeez wading through 39(!) pages of bus replacement timetable would be tricky if one’s not used to it.

    Gaah, meta have added AI into WhatsApp… When did that happen?

      Ugh. We started using it for work during the lockdowns, but now it’s only used for odd rare work messaging. Might see if I can get the boss to knock it on the head.

      Peeved is the mildest word I can use.

      I am currently fuming about this too. I don’t even have auto update enabled on my apps so how did it happen? Turns out WhatsApp apparently can roll out server-side updates at any time??? And there’s no way to opt out of this stupid update either.

      I can’t not use it either as it’s the only way I can stay in touch with most of my relatives, I can’t get them to switch to Telegram or Signal…

      Can anyone explain what the issue is, it’s just an optional button no?

        Well, for me I don’t trust meta. And yes I know WhatsApp is meta, but I’m sort of locked into it on account of almost everyone I am in contact with using it. Just don’t like the idea of meta based AI possibly using my messages for learning.

    Watching last week’s SNL and the Beavis and Butthead skit is far better than the clips I’ve seen.

    Google it and watch it please.

    Just listening to some soundtrack playlists and Shape of Water came up.

    Just realised Shape of Water is The Little Mermaid but in reverse. Eliza is as happy as she can possibly be where she is in the dry world, it’s her nature to be happy, but it’s not where she belongs.

    Since I picked the kumquats s’pose I better prepare the marmalade mix

    and I’ll make a big apple crumble too :)

    source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I always read ‘kumquats’ as ‘kum-squats’

      If you make that apple crumble I’d love to see!!

      • wscholermann@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I’d probably do a lot more squats if that was the outcome 🤣

    I downloaded Path Of Exile again but maybe that was a bad idea… the last time I played some of the weird visual stuff gave me nausea and headaches. Perhaps it wouldn’t be smart to try again :/

      4/10 which is probably not bad for someone who doesn’t watch/read the news and doesn’t have kids (I don’t watch Bluey)

      9/10, I appear to have paid way too much attention this week :(

      I was doing so well! 9/9 then guessed the last one wrong.

      I didn’t know the graffiti story, but I knew where the photo was taken.

      5/10. I don’t watch the news. 1 of those was a lucky guess. Pretty decent results I reckon

    Is there a particular name for a sushi roll that’s cone shaped? Not a cylinder - rolled into a cone around a generous dose of filling with one very narrow end and one wide one. Seriously so much easier to eat as the filling/rice doesn’t fall out the end for the last couple of bites.

    source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, it’s temaki, which means “hand roll”. Sounds confusing at first, but your usual cylindrical sushi (maki sushi) is not meant to be served or sold as a hand roll like they are here, it’s meant to be served sliced. So the only real “hand roll” sushi is the cone type. But it doesn’t pack very well so I guess that’s why it’s not commonly sold here.

      • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Thanks! The one surviving sushi joint in Bridge Road Richmond has these - top and tailed two to a pack. Haven’t been in there for a while, so I was happy to see these and a very nice selection of very pretty bento boxes. Real works of art. Wabi Sushi near corner of Church St if anyone else is interested.
