Got home not long ago from my weekend adventure. I’m tired. Here’s a photo from Woolshed Falls from this morning for your viewing pleasure.

I frigging love Woolshed Falls. Beechworth and surrounds is really lovely. I definitely want to go back again.

Beautiful. 'Twas a glorious day for driving and snuffling round the bush

Wasted $36 on an ink cartridge that was the wrong one and I had already opened it when I realised. Really kicking myself. That would’ve been a week of coffees or a nice dinner or several days food. Grrrr. Between this and the $200 fine and uni fees due tomorrow I’m glad I have a pay rise coming up. Sigh. I’ve been in muuuch worse financial situations so I just gotta forget these things and move on.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 9 months ago
That sucks. Ink is a rip off. Is there any possibility you could sell it on eBay for a slightly reduced price to recoup some of that?
Though the postage and hassle might not be worth it
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Literally giving it away online for free (because I hate wasting things), but nobody’s gonna want an opened one I suspect. There’s no way of telling that all the ink is actually in there…
Honestly would’ve been cheaper to just go and print all my stuff at officeworks or uni with how much I’ve now spent. But I will suck it up because it’s one less barrier to my INCREDIBLE inertia at efficiently getting uni stuff done. I can print out stuff any time I want now, no excuses about libraries not open or not wanting the hassle of loading stuff on an usb to print.

I saw on Twitter someone mentioned there are browser addons for Chrome/Edge that put historical prices on Coles and Woolworths websites, and I know it’s not super groundbreaking to highlight how specials aren’t really “special”, but it does make for some interesting insights. e.g.
This pasta has been “on special” for 53 days. Isn’t that just the normal price, at this point?
And we’ve all noticed the products that go on special every other week, but seeing it in graph form really makes you wonder what the true price of your laundry detergent is:
They extensions arw called “Coles Trend” and “Woolworths Trend”. I’m not sure how long they will work though before they get blocked/banned/disabled somehow. (Would personally love a version of this for the likes of Chemist Warehouse, it’s always so tricky to figure out whether their discounts/catalogues are real or not.)
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Colesworth are dodgy as hell and the inquiry into them didn’t go far enough
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I’d been buying a slab of My Dog at Coles for $27 for awhile (full price). I go in there, see a “Special” ticket for $27, have a look underneath and it says $28. You sneaky cunts.
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I’ve seen it the other way around at woolworths.
It’ll have a ticket that says “everyday low prices.”
The ticket under it will actually be cheaper by 20-30%.
Those fuckers!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 9 months ago
This came up in the 4 corners episode on supermarket price gouging. There’s no way laundry detergent is worth $20 so half price is just a brief stint at how much it should cost
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I’ve thought in the past that they seem to alternate “special” weeks, and also that Woolies and Coles take turns having a thing “on special,” but seeing this in graph form is certainly enlightening.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Think I slept for nearly 12 hours there. zzzz… Today and tomorrow are my last chances to get my uni stuff done and not sink into old patterns of guilt and shame. I’m going to make it work. Getting out of bed now so that I don’t loll around for hours…

Went to the farmers market this morning and stocked up on mostly unnecessary but very tasty items. It was lovely to wander about in the sun, and there are always plenty of dogs to admire.
Then, when I came home I bit the bullet and cleaned out my plastics cupboard. Got rid of all the superfluous and unmatched things and have a more usable cupboard as a result.
Taleya@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I’m 100% for gun control but if you drive a hemi full fart past residential housing at 5am on a sunday people should be allowed to shoot at you.
Catfish@aussie.zone 9 months ago
May i suggest a ballista. Quieter, still much death & mayhem.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Ballista’s are no good. The recoil means they’re never in the same place twice which makes precise aiming difficult
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Guns are wrong. Crossbows however are pretty fucking cool. Plus there’s a moving target.
Taleya@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Not once i finish these caltrops there won’t be
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Trying to get some work done to lessen the load for tomorrow but I’m procrastinating. Especially with the sun being out and all.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I am similarly struggling with uni… Contemplating printing out some papers to read and amnotate, without the distraction of screens
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Sounds like a good idea.
Are you able to concentrate while having music or something on or is it too distracting?
Maybe a nice cuppa of something on the side as well to make it relaxing.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago
The sun today is glorious. 🌞
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I was really expecting this weekend to be raining and grey and dark.
It’s shown me otherwise!

I took a nap at about 6 and woke up again around 8, that was a bad nap. I felt (and still feel) worse and more tired after waking up than before. I got the lovely trifecta with extra tiredness, a bad headache, and feeling really really really thirsty after waking up
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘

I aspire to one day be so rich I don’t have to comparison shop before buying dishwasher tablets.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 9 months ago
The Aldi ones are about $7, and I don’t see any difference in performance from the million dollar brand name ones.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I still hold a grudge against Aldi because of a rude checkout person there when they first opened. They are with OPSM on my “refuse to deal with” list 🤣
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago
it would be the kitchen staff’s job , even so, no need to throw money away
SituationCake@aussie.zone 9 months ago
If you use the finish ones, Bunnings or Reject shop are the cheapest.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I got them slightly cheaper from Catch.com. You have to buy a few packs at a time with them to get the best price though - which at least means I don’t have to shop for them again for another 6 months or so!
Taleya@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Get the gel stuff instead, cheap as hell, lasts much longer
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Spotted at the shops. Is this a prank from friends or legit. Either way, must be fun getting double bullied on the roads
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Maybe a new take on tailgating?!

Brew not glooping yet. But there is some back pressure. Give me my happy gloops!

Watching a documentary on Pompei. Would love to visit one day, it’s fascinating. Putting it on the bucket list.

Why does the epsom salt packet say wash hands after use when you’re taking a bath in the stuff.

I’m thinking I put an old laptop to use as a media player before forking out for an old PC to be dedicated to the job. I want to use it as is initially, but Windows is really making me want to just wipe the whole thing and just put Debian on it for this project.
This laptop was my daily driver for a couple of years so I kind of want to keep it as is for a little while if possible, but I could just scrape everything off it and format it if that’s what things come to

Surprise Sunday Pakige!
Everything good this time, no returns required.

Really shit sleep again and had an early start at work. Hoping for better sleep tonight. Surely if I wake up before 7am everyday, I’ll be fine?
