    I shook off my lethargy to gently gyme.

    I’m now home and contemplating being in bed by six. It sounds pleasant

    People who type on loud clacky keyboards in an open place workspaces are psychopaths. The keyboard is not balanced on the desk as well, so it rocks when typing adding to the wall of sound.

      mechanical keyboards are fucking fantastic and do not belong in the workplace

      unless you’re all devs and insane anyway

      I hate my work keyboard for that reason. It’s not mechanical, it’s just crap.

      In office I type in the laptop. Nice and smooth and quiet

      so many hugs

      this is one of my pet peeves

      of course i think for me it’s also a case of BEC

    The new work laptop has a Copilot button. The most offensive thing about it is the Copilot button has replaced the right Ctrl key. Remapping it with Powertoys hasn’t worked. I actually use the right Ctrl key so the irony of this button promising a productivity assistant replacing an actually useful key that enhances productivity is not lost on me.

      its friggin useless. Like a homebrand chatgpt. I havnt seen the new version of it yet though.

        There’s already a keyboard shortcut for it alt+spacebar or something. But they just had to demand manufacturers give it a dedicated button

        The IT guy is cool, he might let me.

        At least Lenovo had the decency to let you change the Fn and Ctrl keys in the bios when they decided to switch them around for some reason. We’re probably all just stuck with the copilot key

      This would make me furious. Not the ctrl key!!!

    also, the word shutter can go in the bin

    CLOSE, you mean CLOSE

    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I still want it for my roller shutters. Roller closes just aren’t the same. Maybe just outlaw shutter as a verb.

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        appropriate use when describing real shutters is excluded

    Well, despite barely sleeping at all out of frustration and resentment and the heat, I seem to have woken up feeling alright and the day was rather pretty and fun for what it was, once i realised other deadlines were going to have to get tossed out beyond my control

    Still got a lot of uni stuff to do before meeting tomorrow and I had banked on a short office day today to give me more time. Am now exhausted and about to see psych after which I rarely feel like doing and work but we’ll see… maybe I’ll reward myself with pizza tonight if I can get it all done.

    looking at pics of beautiful monkeys and apes that have lovely hair and fur, like colobus or capuchins or marmosets

    and the thought occurs

    we are one of those animals with beautiful hair🙂

    source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      To the apes covered in fur, we must look like a hairless dog looks to us. Sickly looking with all our fur missing except the top of the head.

    Eastlink account has now been updated with the new vehicle. I had to phone them because the previous owner still had it on his account.

    It does make me wonder what the legal situation is if you just keep driving on someone else’s account. Would they be stuck with the charges because they have agreed to pay tolls on that vehicle, or would it be considered some sort of theft by deception because I know I’m not really authorised?

    yooo everyone knows Catch is going down, yes?

    If you got kids or a small face, clean the fuck up right now on face masks.

    Banning myself from more plants until a possum solution is contrived. RIP parsley, violas, and heritage lettuce.

      My local ringies have absolutely destroyed my potted fuschias. In previous years the mint has been fairly safe - not this year. They even had a go at the lemon thyme and the really spicy oregano, neither of which have been targeted before. Lotta hungry possums out there rn. So far the chives are safe but I’m holding my breath a bit.

      source
      • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Mint and oregano safe so far. These are all baby plants so not much bounce back ability yet. Gonna strew some grotty cat litter and get a solar motion activated light I think.

    I drew a crappy little non-video tutorial for the other artists based on one I’d watched, drawing each step in a different colour to help clarify.

    It’s something. If they like it I drew a part 2 to follow.

    Saw the movie Mickey 17. It was OK. Felt like with the premise it should have been better but seemed like something was missing. 3/5 popcorns.

    Picked up the bike with the new Marathon tyres on it. I noticed the weight picking it up more than I expected, same with pushing off on a quick test ride. It’s not so bad once you get going, though.

    It also just feels off having tyres like this on a gravel bike, like putting regular road tyres on a rally car but more noticeable. In reality this bike spends most of its time on the road and these tyres are meant to keep the flats away so I can spend more time riding. The added weight will be good for strength training
