Have been helping my kid apply for jobs, which has been a really interesting experience. Next step is for him to do a chat interview with an ai thingy

It’s good you’re doing this. I remember when looking for jobs explaining to my parents that the local Big W doesn’t do it’s own hiring and you have to apply online for the head office to look at. Sometimes parents don’t realise how much the job market has changed

oh nononono. Anything that asks for recorded video should be viewed with DEEP suspicion. Check all the paperwork, chances are you’ll find buried somewhere some AI slop bullshit that says they are granted rights to use his voice / face

The government and some of the banks do the AI recorded interviews. Wouldn’t look very good if they use the data

A relative made us these balls with dessicated coconut on them. There was some coconut in the container so my mum told me to throw it on the grass. Instead of just pouring it on the grass, I let it snow, and the dog jumped off the deck right as it was falling. Dog looked like it had snowed on him. I would’ve taken a picture but he was not going inside with coconut on him.

As a lover of heist docos and movies, I’m looking forward to this one.

a classic
there has been construction and renovation at the museum
the thieves dressed as construction workers and used construction equipment openly

Ah, the ‘old high-vis vest and clipboard’ trick. Gets you in anywhere

You’d think the louvre would have learned after that kerfuffle with the Mona Lisa

There are not enough good old fashioned heists these days. I blame the younger generations and their addiction to screens, everything has to be online scams, they’re not willing to get their hands dirty and go for the hands-on high-value jewlery theft.

Ok if any Tame fans want some sort of redemption after the new album, the Tiny Desk all acoustic concert is cool!

I’ve decided to sell my iPhone and grab a Samsung. It’s been interesting but it’s really locked down. I have giant thumbs and I can’t even change the keyboard size beyond a tiny fraction.
It’s 2025!!!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
it is interesting
maybe apple expect users to use predictive text much more, hence they don’t care about the little keyboard
also they have ipads which have huge keyboards, I don’t know if ipads are as useful as a phone, one thing I know is they don’t fit in a pocket or handbag

Nothing quite like waking up to the sweet sultry tones of Methaniel mething out in the alley. The warm weather means mating season for the native MethMen has arrived, nature is truly mysterious and wondrous.

I just told a guy smoking in the supermarket to take it outside and he did. He was out the front when I left but I was holding a bottle of cordial by the neck which has a certain look to it.

What flavour were you gonna sacrifice?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
Soon you’ll be serenaded by the sound of random jacking off! That’s their mating call for Methany.

I do not miss the Methmen

Listening to the rain outside is nice.

Driving through it was a bit dreary. I also feel a bit cheated, it was clear when I left Ballarat and I was looking forward to a nice sunrise. Then I hit fog, then rain and its been grey and drizzly ever since with no sign of sun at all.

There has been good rain overnight (the garden rejoices) but I managed to miss it all on my morning dog walk. I am taking this as a good omen for the day ahead.

Good morning.

There was general excitement at work today because the new Soul Origin had opened nearby. You know that place always in the middle of shopping centres that sells whatever salads?
Well, a Carl’s Jr closed down near work and Soul Origin of all places moved in. This is a free standing building with a drivethrough. I probably won’t go over the local cafes too much but at least I can get a coffee after 2 somewhere nearby now
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 47 minutes ago
I have found they do really nice food.
