  Do people not realise that Costco fuel has long hoses so you can fuel your car no matter which side your tank opening is on? Or are they afraid of using it?

  Just nipped to Costco and drove in looking a line of 3 cars waiting at one bowser set, only for the 3 bowser set next to it be completely empty. Feels like a cheat code when you pull up, fuel up and zip out before that line has gotten through.

  Security cameras have definitely improved a lot since I last looked at them. Everything used to need hard wiring for power and all the apps were pretty glitchy last time I investigated.

  I’m going to get the Ring doorbell, cameras with solar power and gutter mounts for the front and back, plus one in the main area inside. That should cover all the main approaches, and being a new estate most of the theives in the area will be targeting all the empty houses filled with brand new appliances anyway.

    don’t forget this.

    if nothing else, it cuts down on delivery shitfuckery significantly

      That is a lot more bold and eye catching than the Ring camera stickers!

      source
  • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Is that a Ring camera for just the regular cameras as well?

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes, that’s what I’m looking at. Then the one subscription and app will cover them all.

  Silksong is gonna be playable at Game Worlds. I wonder how massive the hype is going to be?

    I wonder when it’ll be released, well no rush for me at the moment.

    Hollow Knight is such a good game.

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      They’re lucky Hollow Knight is so replayable. Someone needs to tell the Youtube channel that does daily updates on whether there’s any Silksong news.

  I buy all kinds of music and since it’s all 1 or 2 bucks I buy things I don’t know. So this morning I put on a cd of “Indian” music. Just a compilation album.

  First song up, This Land is your Land Indian style. It was pretty cool.

  Early voting was a no Bueno.

  Massive lineup, no parking and I other arrangements. Democracy shall be exercised tomorrow.

  Pub grub dinner and drinks with extended family. Was good. Wife is emotional for good reasons and some sad ones.

  My son hugged and lifted his favourite uncle (wife’s cousin) . It was such a sweet moment. This cousin used to babysit my kids when they were babies.

  Is anyone here old eno6to remember those collectable cards with pictures of Australian native birds on them that you used to find in packets of tea?

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    yup. Tetley tea.

    my husband used to collect them when he was a kid and he has 3 or 4 books of the complete collection

    source

    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Oh Tetley was it? I remember the smell of the tea on the cards and I loved them for that as well as the pictures! I had a big collection too that I lost over the years. Wasn’t in books as my folks were too stingy to buy the books you put them in.

  I didn’t realise Paint by numbers would be so calming and fun.

  source

  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I love paint by numbers. It’s soothing! I love to paint/play with colours, but often get caught in my head about it being “perfect” or what I “should” paint, so doing a paint by numbers hits my creative bone without being stressful. Ahh so happy you’re enjoying doing it!

    I also have a Zen painting app on my phone that I’ll often play.

  That time of the night again.

  Time for another episode of Expedition 33.

• melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Tooth brushing isn’t going well so far. Melbcat’s gums are inflamed and sore. I’ve ordered some oral gel that can be applied with swabs (their version of mouthwash) which should hopefully soothe the gingivitis down so I can go back to trying the brush.

  The dental cleaning food and treats all contain chicken so I’m trying to give her pieces of freeze dried meat as treats instead of the ones that contain sugar. (Which is otherwise the only kind she can eat.)

  I need to clean but am not feeling great. It almost feels like it doesn’t matter too -_-
