    Got robbed for the first time ever, just some stuff out of the garage. Still unlikely to vote liberal/nationals.

      Oh wow, how did they get in?

        dunno. Garage door was open when we got up. It has been opening itself but I thought we solved that issue.

      Damn, that sucks. It may be expensive but I hope it was nothing sentimental.

      I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you didn’t lose too much from it.

    I’ve changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.

    It’s mind blowing.

    Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.

    Unreal.

    First day of Erin Patterson’s Trial has been pretty wild - including her potentially faking cancer?!

    source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁊ ⁨days⁊ ago

      And saying she didn’t have a food dehydrator when she’d been showing pics of it on Facebook and talking about how she used it to dry mushrooms.

      source
      • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨3⁊ ⁨days⁊ ago

        And her phone ping in locations that deathcaps grow, but she says she doesn’t forage for mushrooms. And she served her own meal to herself on a different coloured plate to the others. So many coincidences!

        It’s so crazy! Yes, innocent until proven guilty and really only has to have a morsel of doubt in there, but this is just so bizarre to hear. The whole story gets more and more insane. Not wanting her kids to be tested/treated because she didn’t want them to be worried, but saying they ate the leftovers?! I’m so interested to hear what the defence will say.

    I’m watching Underbelly for the first time since it “aired” and we all watched it on bootleg dvds smuggled over the border. Still pretty gripping.

    Just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. Holy fucking shit that sucked.

    source
    • mertn22@aussie.zone ⁨3⁊ ⁨days⁊ ago

      My dentist sent me to a periodontist for a deep clean. It took two hours and $3000 dollars. That sucked too.

    Doctor problems.

    Going in to get a few jabs. Wouldn’t let me in because staff yesterday said I need a referral. Got the referral, turns out needed a script. told the GP, said I need a script. He reluctantly writes one up, I go next door to the chemist grab the jab and back to the clinic to be seen by a nurse (who was lovely).

    Absolutely pointless waste of time.

    I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.

      Cushions and an arty lamp.

        There is a lamp in my cart. And a pendant light. Cushions I intend to make myself.

      i resemble this

      i have bought arty lamps and have bought rugs and looking to buy some real rugs

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁊ ⁨days⁊ ago

        There is something about moving that brings out the need to decorate. I have bought a cheap rug, I’ll see how it works with everything else before deciding if I want to spend the money on a proper one.

    Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.

      I don’t know what makes me so special, but I haven’t received political spam texts from anyone. Maybe just lucky?

    Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.

    I do not.

    Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨3⁊ ⁨days⁊ ago

      That’s the thing I like about living in the suburbs. There’s a man a few streets away who has filled his garden with beautiful wildflowers and every time I pass it, it makes me happy :)

    Got some hot cross buns on clearance from Aldi, for the applie and cinnamon ones for 2 bucks.

    I found a sinker and a very good large abalone shell that has a blister pearl

    the main attribute of sinkers and lures is they have to attract fishermen into buying them

    We have phone booths in this co-working space for a reason. Guy who works in an office takes call out of the office so as to not bother his staff, but is now pacing around the open plan area talking loudly on the phone. Make it make sense.

    I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.

    Bonus aggro: trying to tell a vendor about a serious code issue on their back end and getting shuffled to the AI dumbass repeatedly telling me invalid solutions that assume i’m at fault. Gaaaaaaaaah

    I’ve just realised Miss Meow is going to be able to go outside in the new place. She’s not going to be able to scale the colourbond fence, and as long as I make sure there are no gaps under gates or anything like that it should be secure enough.

    Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like…

    I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!

      I’ve tinkered with using AI to help with code and it’s one area I’d trust it with a bit more than anything else. Code is a lot more structured than regular language so it’s harder for AI to just hallucinate an answer. And it helps when you’re somewhat familiar with the language and you’re trying to fix a specific problem.

    Having fomo looking at the weather in Melbourne atm. Figures that almost as soon as I get back on Sunday the weather will get warmer again.

    Today’s the first day I’ve had some time to myself… or so I say, but I really need to get onto the Python thing for work and wrap that whole thing up today so they can invoice tomorrow. Uggghh I just want to switch my brain off and lie in bed with the AC on watching Animal Kingdom S4 (finally Ellen Barkin is getting phased out. I hate her acting in this show)

    But nope. Time to fire up the laptop and get to asking chatgpt how to do the thing
