Tis the season for lots of cat boxes!

🎶Tra La La La La!
Ok, enough of that shit.

I don’t use spotify but I think I’ll spare everyone my music ‘wrap’ today :)
But this is for the Studspud:
Jumping from chilli to chilli leaving a wake of aphid destruction. The leaf curl you see could be aphids… or used be heh.
Good to see them in there on their own accord.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
THANK YOUUUUU!!! So pretty 😍😍😍
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
If I were a cheese, I would be a Gorgonzola. It’s not a popular cheese and can be quite salty with a bite from my blue veining. However, there are devout followers who love to crumble it on a boring salad to make it interesting.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Spreadable Goats cheese in the tub from Aldi. Cheap and spread thinly.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
A daily driver👍
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
😂
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I don’t know about cheese at all, and only eat tasty cheddar, Colby, or parmesan (and don’t even think I’ve ever tried anything else), so I asked GPT:
You are Gorgonzola. Complex, bold, and quietly powerful—because even the subtlest blue leaves a lasting impression.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I tend to gravitate toward the familiar as well.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
gorgonzola represent 👍
also, blue vein cheddar
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I don’t know you but I feel like it’s a perfect summation
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It made for a good pizza at bimbos.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
and on a steak!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
OMG, Bimbos, there’s a blast.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’d be a vintage cheddar. An acquired taste.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
One of those crumbly Mersey Valley types?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Don’t sell yourself short. There’s always room for you on the platter haha
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Also love vintage cheddar…
Man, all this cheese talk got me hungry…
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Feta. Salty and crumbles easily.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Another fantastic salad addition, we would be lost without Feta.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’d be that cheddar you get in the box off the non refrigerated shelf. Odd, tasty and melts a lot better than you’d expect.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You have a long shelf life?
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Triple Brie with Truffle: Overpriced bougie BS, probably synthetic, but heat/spread yadda yadda.
(I also typed less resistance, but either way, cheese = smut. 😂)
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ricotta. Soft, kinda sweet, makes things creamy, can be easy to forget about in the back of the fridge.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I love ricotta. I use it in my lasagna instead of bechamel
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I think I’d be a Red Leicester. Basic cheddar style with a bit of sauce mixed in.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Basic, but willing to be a bit saucy?!
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sorry, I’m allergic to penicillin.
(Yes, I know many say the cheese doesn’t count, I prefer not to risk it)
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
We aren’t listing our various ailments. You have to tell us what kind of cheese you would be.🥸
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Nothing against you!
Gongonzola cheese has the tang of a fungal illness to my tongue. 💀
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thass wuss up.😂
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Against all resistance from ky Jody I’m doing the washing today to take advantage of the heat and sun outside.
Hope I’ve made the right choice.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yes you have. The weekend forecast is looking dire.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m meant to take my niece to see the rellos in outer Ballarat on Saturday and legitimately considering v/line + pickup rather than driving on the western in those conditions after such a long week.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
My Spotify wrapped has been disappointing me over the past few years. I used to have such an eclectic music taste, but getting older I’m listening to what’s familiar to me a bit too much. I don’t like the complacency.
Going to spend the next few weeks saving some new music to listen over the holidays, and listening to albums I’ve saved over the year but never bothered to listen. Currently listening to Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk, for fans of synth-pop and prog-rock this one is for you.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Spotify recommends stuff you already play so that’s why I ask the DT for new stuff. The only new artist that I really really like is Dua Lipa.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Dua Lipa, Chappell Roan, Charlie XCX, and Olivia Rodrigo are really great! Can’t recommend Chappell enough!!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ahaha, mine is out of control.
Top songs were all songs in English by non-English artists: Thai, Cambodian, Taiwanese and Korean.
My top artists were: Tanerélle, Limi, WIM, Sleep Token and Keshi. 🤣
I forgot I listened to so much Tanerélle this year.
But I listen to such a wide variety, it’s not really a surprise.
Pilk@aussie.zone 1 month ago
IMO Wrapped doesn’t really handle eclectic tastes really well. Makes the results seem super random.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You might like Can if you’re a fan of prog rock
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Mine was all Käärijä and Chappell Roan 😂 I think I will also have to expand my listening and see what pops up next year lol!
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Now that’s eclectic! I was expecting Chappell in my top 5, but no. I swear I thrashed her album this year.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Discover weekly and the radio channels (where you click the radio button based on a specific song and it plays more songs like it) are how I find a lot of new music
I put it on as background noise while I’m doing other things and if I start bobbing my head, I probably like a song
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
taught tinyset to “cheers” last night. thought it was gonna take a while over a couple of days but he kept stopping eating dinner to do it. He doesnt always say cheers, but about 50% of the time he does. thank god i was drinking water or i’d be under the table!
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
They’re so adorable at that age! Brains are literal sponges and it’s just amazing to see them grow and get smarter and smarter! I think your raising a fine lil dude!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
you arnt wrong. hes recently started to work on communication, not just saying words. He will sometimes try copy what you say, he wants to learn the pets names. its crazy how he went from a crying potato last year to this confident toddler in like 12 months.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s adorable!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s funny how they copy you and how literal they are. I wanted my son to close the recycling so I closed it with my foot because that was easier for me, I thought he’d push it closed with his hands at his height. Nope, he had to try push the recycling closed with his foot as well
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Oh yeah you gotta be super careful with how you act hey. Terrified of him learning to drive like his mum.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fire alarm. Fucksakes
Pilk@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s always someone burning their toast and then venting their apartment into the common areas, isn’t it
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Burnt toast or someone managing to knock off a sprinkler head in the carpark.
DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Baku bang on 12!! 🙌🙌
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
12:00:01, actually. I was close, but narrowly missed 😂
(Pretty sure the Reddit autobot was less on the mark though)
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
IT HERE
Opened the box under my camera as planned. No dramas. No scam. He seemed unhappy I didn’t give him the number over the phone, but I was waiting outside, saw him pull in, and started giving him the code as soon as he was ready. Unless he truly had bad intentions he can’t be upset about that
All in all, I’m happy. Now my wifi needs should be future proofed for like a decade unless something breaks. Wifi 7 is too expensive, so it’s just wifi 6e, and only gigabit (with a single 2.5gbps port). Way over kill for my 100mbps FTTC plan, but I live in hope that one day I shall behold gigabit FTTP
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
skipped the coffee today, no coke either. those 2 black teas are the pillar of my consciousness today but they are pretty wonky pillars. Sometimes I wonder how much coffee powers my mental health barriers and that just makes the days easier? Maybe thats a thread I dont really want to pull on.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m in a very bad mood over having to pay for something and now not having much to spare for the next few weeks.
Super moody and annoyed.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I am also very grumpy thanks to the heat and this extremely easily avoidable $198 fine. Currently calculating how much more hours I’d have to work to earn that back…
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Let’s be grumpy together.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Speedster?
If you’ve been a good kitten the last few years, you might be able to apply to have it downgraded to a warning

I lost my birth certificate AND my passport so I had to jump on Vic Birth Death Marriages website and jump through hoops (on my own end) to order a new birth certificate. My god what a horrible, unintuitive website. I have no idea if I’ve done it correctly or if it is being proceeded now or not.

Also noticed there seems to be somebody downvoting all the DTs. Bit weird. Wonder if it’s people browsing /all getting the shits that they’re seeing posts every day about something they think is irrelevant. Odd way to live, considering there’s no algorithm on Lemmy to learn from your voting habits, but oh well
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I feel like I’m in limbo. Dunno what to do now.

Kind of glad uni fieldwork ended early today, I’m so fried. Bad news is some setbacks re method, good news is we’ve gotten a lot more context and some real direction with where to go
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I was given my prezzie early and have been having great fun with it in between work things. Think I’ll break the cultural loading and make my own book choices though.
Must haves Hungry Caterpillar, Grug, Mr Grumpy, Smoke & Fluff. Other ideas welcome. Needs to be recognisable at 9x14mm

Not only do I have to go out this morning but I have to go to the post office. Make this a quick death please.

I keep waking up to lots of long grey cat fur on my keyboard.
who could it be?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I love animals so much. All of them but cats are the best
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
such a beautiful night outside , the air is warm soft and has a sweet scent of trees and flowers
fruit bats fly overhead and the stars and planets are twinkling
good night 😘😘😘

Got mesh setup :)
As predicted, bit janky. Not sure I’d recommend to link deco mesh for somebody who’s not comfortable navigating unhelpful error messages
I did come to the unfortunate realisation that chocolate topping I thought was empty (and closed) spilled onto a laptop I had running an ArchiveTeam warrior and BOINC projects. It’s probably been seeking in, basking in the hot cpu for 2 or 3 days
I isopropyl’d as much as I could, but I’m not confident in laptop disassembly. Now debating if it’s worth taking it to a repair shop to get a proper scrub done, or hoping my surface level (plus whatever IPA seeped inside) fixes it
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Today has been really rough for anxiety. Everything is hard right now and it’s a real struggle to cope. I caved and napped but at least I saw some sun and that will help nudge me towards the daytime.
Melbcat gets her b shots tomorrow and I’m really nervous about learning to do it.
The alyssum seeds have a best before of August… guess I’ll see if they sprout. The nasturtium should be fine. There’s an abandoned patch of earth that’s technically mine that I could sow directly into but I kind of don’t want to go out there because of unprotected proximity to a violent crazy neighbour and cooked passers by.
I might sow them into a container until they’re stronger then either plant them fast when the coast seems clear - or use recycled containers as pots. Or see how well they fight it out with the invasive grass that’s taken over what little soil I have in the yard.
I would have preferred these be native plants… Just trying to get some pollinators and good bugs in here and using what I could easily get my hands on.
I might spritz the zucchini with very weak soapy water, maybe like a drop of natural dish detergent, then water it off tonight.

I just counted 9 different cheeses in my fridge.
