  where protest? Husband said at exhibition, it’s not here, it’s at the expo centre?

    They’re both called exhibition just for funsies. It’s at Jeff’s Shed, the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre if we’re being formal.

    But I’d stay at the Royal Exhibition Building and chill in the nice gardens, much better vibes.

    Ooh I didn’t realise you were going

    I stayed home cause I’m still feeling crook and really don’t have the energy, but I’ve been reading the ABC’s coverage, and it seems like it’s winding down now, but has split into 2 groups

    From a bit over an hour ago:

    Crowds outside the Land Forces expo have now shrunk to a few hundred from their initial thousands this morning.

    ABC reporter Jess Longbottom is at the protest, and says demonstrators have mainly split into two groups — one in front of Crown Casino, and one on the north side of the Spencer St bridge.

    More recently:

    ABC reporter Natalie Whiting is on the ground at the protest and says protestors on the Batman Park side of the bridge have largely pulled back.

    “They have said they are assessing and recouping before deciding whether they will return this afternoon or wait until tomorrow,” Whiting says.

    “There is still a group of protestors gathered on the other side of the river, closer to the convention centre.”

  Plumbers at my place fixing the cause of my recent sewer pipe blockages, costing me a pretty penny but I have no choice. Backyard is being dug up to replace an underground pipe, some plants had to get pulled out which is annoying. Didn’t have the best sleep and they turned up so early so I’ll be knocking back a few coffees to get through today.

  I’m wondering if I should spray a stinky orange cleaner or repellent around outside to discourage the visiting cats. I like them but Melbcat gets really stressed out and being an indoor kitty could feel like she’s trapped with threats outside.

  I just know orange oil and other essential oils/ strong scents are an asthma trigger and might waft back inside 🤔

    I orange oil my wooden floors and neither my asthma nor the cats are bothered by it. Everyone is different…

  Tried those Oreo coke biscuits. Not sure I want to taste coke when I eat a biscuit; and the aftertaste lingers. 2/10 from me.

  I’ve been away for a couple of nights and now Miss Meow has decided I need her constant supervision.

  source

  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They’re funny creatures. One of ours who we didn’t think really liked any of us has pined for our boy away at camp. He came home this afternoon, she hasn’t left this spot. Also note the JRT who is miffed, because she’s usually the one with the boy.

    Is she a good supervisor?

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No. After shadowing me all evening I rolled over in bed too often and she has decided to give up and left the room. Hard to get good help these days.

  The rains have started here

  I am still super tired, but laying in bed listening to the rain wrapped up on top of my electric blanket is actually really nice. Unfortunately I can’t enjoy it much, because there’s so many loud cars and motorbikes around these parts recently, and there’s too many helicopters and planes flying about

  Also the rains have stopped now

      Well done, it only took 13 minutes for you to summon the rain. That’s considered a gift!

  Didn’t Zip pay pull out of Australia? Places are still offering it. I never really used these buy now pay later platforms but you could stretch a purchase out over like 6 months with Zip

  source

  • Aradina@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Zip is still around, they launched a new product fairly recently.

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Interesting. I just remember they announced they were pulling out of Australia. Then they got hacked. And they were just still around after

    Hmm, I thought they still offered it? I remember the reduced/limited the amount you could have without a credit check a little while back.

    source
  • Drusenija@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Don’t believe so, you can still use it at places that offer it. Pretty sure they expanded the service to also work as a Visa card so you can technically use it anywhere, not just at retailers that offer it (no idea if there’s extra costs involved in that though).

  Hehe, TIL I can hear NFC through my headphone cable

  I had my headphones plugged into the cable from my PC, but was also using my phone when I started hearing a series of clicks and then a short high pitched squeak. Played around with airplane mode and eventually narrowed it down to the NFC. That’s pretty cool!

  Now I’m tempted to go chuck some data on an NFC tag and see if I can hear the data 🤔

  Probably a bad idea, could end up being super loud or something. Who knows. Anyway I’m bad at resisting bad ideas, will be back later with a status update

  source

  • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I did it! It wasn’t super loud, even on max volume. It’s super cool. Also TIL my NFC tags have a size of ~500 bytes

    source
  • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I thought there was something wrong with my wired earbuds I plug in to my laptop, because I was hearing clicks in them at random times. Turns out I was because I was putting my phone back down on the cables. I always theorised it was my phone trying to charge itself wirelessly, but it definitely makes more sense if it’s NFC related.
