Desk has been sanded with extra fine then cleaned and now first coat of stain has been applied. It looks great. Once the second is done, varnish is done, then I will shorten the legs by 3 cms. Don’t worry, I know how to do it.

Pilk@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Same with more social situations. “Hey, are you free on the 19th?” FREE FOR WHAT, DEBORAH?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I HAAAATE that question. Tell me why you’re asking!!!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 months ago
If people message me with that and nothing else I assume they don’t have any serious questions, and I will not respond until I have nothing else to do (or they get around to that they want first). Dafuq, I’m not your girlfriend responding to booty calls (you up?)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
this is the kind of call i hang up on
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 10 months ago

just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Ouch. Angry habs are angry. Will you be saucing up the rest?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Was thinking sauce and powder / flakes. BUT gonna try some chilli jam too. I think on the whole flakes / powder gets used more for me at least.

I rarely use Siri. On the odd occasion I do, when it responds with its rude toned ‘uh-huh’ it reminds me to not use it again for the foreseeable future. Why not have an option to change the response it gives?
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
don’t ask. Just bark.
“Ten minutes” gives me a ten min timer. “Wedding anniversary” tells me when my wedding anniversary is. “Call my husband” done.

I feel bad being rude to it even though it’s just an electronic thing!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
it was supposed to be fixed with iOS 18. in fact apple intelligence was the whole selling point for the iphone 16 range. But it all got delayed and now were just stuck with the buggy mess of iOS 18 and the stupidity of siri whilst apple still kick it around between internal product teams.
That they charge 1300 bucks for the base iphone these days is insanity ontop of all this mess.

And this is why I’ve kept Android as a phone and have an iPad for access to the app store.

Are you absolutely sure you didn’t get the version for old people?

Made the decision to reschedule my uni meeting to next week. I am telling myself it’s not because I’m a slacker but because I’m a grown-up who is sensible about pacing and recharging. I’m only just starting to feel like a human again today. I’ve volunteered to help an aunt clean their house tomorrow before a sale, to fill up the physical activity/service/connection buckets.
Also feeling increasingly glad about putting up a hard barrier to work stuff - kind of chuffed that the universe fubared my work laptop (appears it will now need to be nuked as nobody knows who enabled bitlocker, probably a previous employee. Thankfully we have everything important on OD/SP). I told people I might check emails, I think I won’t be now!

Please end of day get here…
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Forgot my laptop at home today which sucks.
Normally use it to listen to using or radio to make the time pass a little bit quicker.
Going to have to be inventive today without it
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Can’t listen through your phone?
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I’m going to do that. Just not sure my battery will last
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
“sorry kid, gonna need that laptop for the rest of the day”
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Mine, all mine I say!

I accidentally deleted an entire Facebook campaign at work today. I recreated it but it was just more time and panic.
The ads section of Facebook has such a terrible interface. It’s so clunky and confusing. You’d think that would be the one good part given it’s how they make their money
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Open up laptop while phone is updating and immediately post to the old thread it was on. Good job. 😪 👍
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I did the same thing last week.

I am listening to some “racist academics” including jollyheretic ( the very far left would call them haters ) so I can understand their arguments and pick apart the false reasoning and bad science.
So many assumptions, so many value judgements.
the first main thing is that they respect science, understand that science based facts have power, so try to use science or couch their arguments in scientific terms.
So many people have trod that ground before, nazis being the main ones, nazis still do that but evangelicals are doing it too now.
a YT I’m listening to now is expending a lot of effort showing how liberal people can be racist , and that can be true in a way. ( it usually paternalism, not based in ill will, just not well thought out is all. Overall the assumption by liberals is equality ) Liberal individuals making mistakes in enacting beliefs based on equality does not make far right beliefs true.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Progressive people can be very, very racist. Believe me.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
that may be true but the far right shouldn’t use that to justify or excuse their own racism

wanker customer
Customer: I was going camping and we found the security tags on these clothes, but we lost the receipt. Me: sorry, I can’t take it off without a proof of purchase. I know it’s frustrating. Customer gets aggro Customer: you don’t sound very sympathetic, I can tell from your voice Me: sorry if it came across that way, it wasn’t my intention to come across like that Customer: says nothing your team should be doing a better job and looking out for the tags Me: I’m sorry about that. it’s not even my fault Everyone who gets the security tags taken off needs a proof of purchase. Her: what, you think I’m stealing? Customer eventually shows a couple of bank transaction and I just take them off. I’m just questioning if my tone of voice is shitty and not sympathetic enough. I asked a colleague, and she said I’m impossible to get mad at. So maybe the customer took it the wrong way. Now I brush it off and serve more customers. Yay.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I agree with Gibson. Why not just show the bank transactions first? Because they wanted to get shitty at someone.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Fuck them. If they had half a brain they would have offered the bank transactions first.
You’re all good :)
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Thanks man :)
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Some people just wanna be mad, good on you for standing your ground!
