  Did something I’ve been putting off for a little while and climbed up on a chair to stick cable clip things onto the wall. Since I can’t climb under the house, my current solution for whisking ethernet into my room is to run it along the “cornice” as TIL it’s called, then using a flat type ethernet cable, running it underneath my bedroom door, then the “architrave” as TIL it’s called. I’m not good at cable management, so it’s going to be a bit messy

  weight/diet

  I’m still hanging on. I had a couple of cravings yesterday. I didn’t cave and stuck to a fairly large deficit. I worked out a rough short term plan last night as well

  talking about tech stuff.

  So I have a stereo I like to connect to with bluetooth so I can play videos and stuff on my PC through it.

  After about 3 hours the stereo starts to stutter. Since the issue was only after a few hours of use I reckoned it was the device cache so would restart to clear the cache and that works. But I thought it must be something i’m doing wrong, I have the settings wrong, etc.

  Nope, after much reading of instructions it’s the cache.

  I might not be expert but I try to be competent. 👍

    Probably my favourite is this one. It’s called “The in-laws” and I bought it from a local art show. Excuse the bad cropping but it was a funny angle to take a pic of without reflecting light. Aside from that I have about fifty paintings and drawings my kids have done, of course!

  I’m getting older I guess, and should be more active - pinching achey pain in my right shoulder. Yesterday, I got off the couch to show my partner something on my phone, was totally fine, when I went to go back to the couch, my shoulder was fucked. Didn’t lift anything, not even myself with it, and now I’m stressed I’ve somehow torn my rotator cuff. Slept on it like an idiot (toss and turn in my sleep), and it’s worse today, of course. Doesn’t hurt when my arm is straight and I raise it to the side, but it canes when I bend my elbow so my forearm is down, and lift it so my upper arm is flush with my shoulder. So pulling up my undies and pants is very painful.

  I’m prolly just overreacting. Been doing slow stretches as I thought it could be a pinched nerve. But I’ve freaked myself out with Dr Google I think 😅😅 if it doesn’t go away I’ll go to my GP - need to anyway for ✨mental health✨

  Just a little venty-vent

    If your shoulder hurts it ain’t your rotator. That hurts in your upper arm.

  • Salvo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    When I tore my rotator cuff I would wake up in the middle of the night, in pain, with my shoulder out again. I would have to sleep wearing a sling.

    My advice is to see a physio and do the exercises they recommend to build up your shoulder muscles. It can’t dislocate when it is being held in place by muscle.

  My excuse is that I’m badgering GPT for python code to fulfill a niche but simple purpose

  I’ve also been doing a bit of research into the biology behind weight gain/loss, fat storage, ketones, nutritional requirements, etc. funky things, the body. Definitely needs a few big fixes though

      Honestly it probably already exists, but I just want something that does exactly what I want and no more, and is easy to setup:

      I’ve got a browser extension that extracts all URLs on a webpage and merged them all into a JSON file. I use them for archiving mass amounts of URLs onto the Wayback machine using another utility they have that archives all URLs from a google sheet.

      Google sheets doesn’t allow importing a JSON file, though. So the python script takes a bunch of little JSON files with a few hundred URLs, then converts that into a CSV file that I can just import into GSheets. It’s like 60 lines of code, with a few extra bells and whistles added in for error handling. Very simple

  Check out all the nangs someone had at the entrance to my fire escape. Packaging of a woolies mudcake (I hope), couple of beers, pink balloons (it's a girl!) and a whole damn box of spent nangs.

    Hah. Reminds me. When I went down the shops the other day, cause the arseholes did that thing they do where they close half the shopping centre and force people to walk around the outside, I had to walk through a bit of a seedy area. Bunch of shopping trolleys full of rubbish and stuff, a few tipped over. Nangs everywhere. A few needles. A few shops and loading docks had what I’d guess were about 4-5 metre tall fences complete with razor wire over the top around their bins

    Also chose a bad way to walk back to the bus stop and ended up having to go past a group of 7-8 dodgy looking people who were 100% sizing me up

    I have mixed feelings about Brunswick

    I know this is going to be deeply unpopular, but I don’t really like Brunswick. I thought Brunswick west was alright when I was in an Airbnb there last year, but Brunswick proper I’ve walked through and down side streets a few times and can’t help but feel uneasy I also really don’t get the tagging on people’s fences type thing. I am okay with people doing murals and stuff, but why tag your name on some poor grandma’s front fence? And even the rest of it just feels kind of dirty. Kind of like what I imagine it was like hanging around an early 2000s Chicagoan train station at 9pm at night, but it’s the whole suburb. And based on my experience with coffee shops and the like in Brunswick proper, nobody seems to be very friendly unless you’re a local

  Had a good night. Ate dinner with my sister and her friend, and then had a couple of drinks and a nice chat with a friend of a friend. The latter part was kind of scary because social anxiety, but this person wants to work with neurodivergent kids, so she might have understood any kerfuffles.

  Does anybody here have a costco membership? What do you buy from there? What are some of the stand outs? Tell me everything.

  source

  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I don’t have membership but went with my bestie who does. Before you go you need to know your unit pricing in the regular stuff you would but there in bulk, because sometimes is not cheaper than a Coles worth special. It’s easy to spend a lot of money there on big stuff but not all of it is a bargain.

    My aunt goes there for general shopping, but she does it twice a year and gets everything bulk. So stuff will last a good 6 months. Bulk TP, bulk essentials, bulk flour, dog food, etc.

    I’ve never been but her next shop is in Feb iirc, and she wants to take me along and buy me bulk stuff as well, so my partner and I don’t have to struggle as much financially. I’ll let you know how it is :D

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s exactly what I’ll be getting but I wanted to know what else I should be looking at while I’m there.

      source
  • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I don’t, but I’ve been with people. I doubt I’d get much value out of a subscription, personally. I don’t think it’s worthwhile unless you run a business, or have a very large family and the funds to buy gigantic bulk lots of food (and can use it before the use by)

    $1.50 hotdogs are probs my standout tbh 😂 They also have cheaper fuel, and they’re building a new servo in the west atm, but I keep an eye on petrol spy and it seems like it’s routinely beaten on price, so while it’s usually the cheapest in the immediate area, it won’t be the cheapest if you drive 5-10km away or drive past a cheaper servo in your travels

    They used to do a hot chocolate with marshmallows. That was good. Last time I had one was 7 years ago, so I dunno if they’re still around and worth it

    I know American Costco also allows you discounted medications and glasses/eyecare as well, I don’t know if we have that here though

    My boss does. He buys cleaning related stuff for the business and gets the seafood (mostly salmon I think) for home.

  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I got it once to buy a white goods item that Costco had which was a couple hundred dollars cheaper than anywhere else. Membership was worth it just for that one purchase. I used it one other time for groceries that year, but I don’t have a large family so bulk goods are not that useful. My normal shopping method is to keep an eye out for colesworth specials and buy extras of the things I regularly use. So Costco wasn’t useful for me for regular grocery shops, but if I had a big purchase to make I would check Costco prices against JB/good guys etc. If I lived quite close to one I might consider it for the discounted petrol though.

  Ever since toll decided to stop calling themselves toll and start calling themselves the global express team or whatever it is, I’ve noticed they’ve gotten a lot worse. I’d never have rated them great, but they used to have pretty detailed tracking, including a live location of the delivery driver (though I think delayed a bit for safety), and we’re good with communication. From memory they offered a 2 hour time slot on the deliveries I had as well

  Now they just say that the label was created and the job booked, then the next update is just delivered. There is a map but it’s pretty useless, because it’s just a straight, as the crow flies map from the origin to the destination. Doesn’t even snap to the road they’d take, and it doesn’t even vaguely suggest a time, or number of stops before you. Useless

  source

    Toll was sold to Allegro Funds and rebranded as Team Global Express. Just capitalism at its finest: sell to the competition/buy the competition, rebrand so laypeople don’t catch on, and enshittify. Works 60% of the time, everytime.
