My irritating next door neighbour is having visitors over tomorrow during the day.
Guess who’s going to be gardening and using each and every power tool available.
This guy right here.
I actually have to do gardening, but now I have a reason to be very thorough and meticulous.

Once the mowing is done, we’ll definitely need some tunes to assist with the weeding and pruning.

Mickey is so funny. He asks to be picked up, so I do, but sometimes I have to put him down quicker than he prefers (water boiling, toilet, usual home stuff).
When that happens, he’ll rush back over to my legs and bite my calves or bat at my ankles. No real damage or pain to me, but let’s him display his displeasure at the cuddles ending sooner than he’d prefer 😂
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 hours ago
TheVoid bites toe/calf when he wants food and there is Pain. He’s a rotten meanie

The metro tunnel is not on any line near me (my area is run by a bus network pretty much), but I still want to go through it just for funsies. I reckon other people will have the same idea when it’s free on the weekend?
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
Go to Nhu Lan when you do your Footscray trip, it’s a local institution.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
Except that they have installed self checkout machines. WTF dudes?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
there’s a very popular banh mi shop across from the main entrance and near the bus stops
but Footscray is looking pretty run down and dodgy, think the worst parts of Richmond
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Eh, the most transport central bit is doing pretty well but the edges are certainly run down and emptying rapidly. There were a couple of nasty fires, and a bunch of landlords who fail to see an empty shop earns less than an occupied one at less exorbitant rent. Damn pity.

This park near me should be finished now. It’s a nice big space and should make cutting across the hills to work easier if I ever want to go that way. I think I’ll take the kids there at some point this weekend to check it out
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
off to the city for a walk around and some shopping
the garden can wait for tomorrow and nicer weather, UnKAOS is going well

Booked flights to Sydney - been invited to a client Christmas event which I can use as an excuse to claim flights / accom on the business, and also using the trip as my Christmas party for one. I’ve been feeling so wound up and stressed lately, looking forward to a couple of nights away.

I’m just reading about Mar a Lago face. The trend by women involved or following Maga to modify their face.
I don’t think this is the first such trend, there has been the Kardashion/insta face and bum trend before that.
maybe what is new and shocking is that people are using cosmetic surgery to change their face now, rather than make what they have a bit nicer.
For the rest of us it’s a good keep away signal.
And now I’m thinking with sadness how my pretty sister at the age of 35 cut off her long natural blonde hair and got a Karen haircut with stripes. If she was concerned with looking professional she could have worn a bun.
It all seems decadent and cult like.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
ok, I think I have figured what freaks me out about this and it’s not the actual look.
It’s not status seeking or youth seeking or trying to be a particular ethic or racial group
it’s identifying/showing an extremist allegiance to a political ideology . It’s extreme because it is body modification for politics. It’s not just speaking french or dressing in a certain way or a hair cut.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
It’s a status symbol. The women with mar-a-lago face, Republican face, etc are part of the aristocracy. Their face is the symbol of their status. Plastic surgeons will advertise this look as “refined”, “sophisticated”, and “aristocratic”.
These people are some of the wealthiest people in the US and the world, and they want to look different from the peasants they underpay and abuse.
Similar to how aristocracies of the past would speak French, and peasants spoke more Germanic languages, generally speaking.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
I thought most of the motivation by Trump to enter politics was because he was rejected by the aristos on account he is a pedo, he is boorish and criminal ( they would have forgiven criminal if he wasn’t a pedo or a boor )
these people are not the aristos , they are just trying to rewrite history
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
People turning themselves into Barbie and Ken dolls has been happening since the 80s.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
yes, the more I think about it the more this is just a shift within a demographic from Northern European beauty ideals to Eastern European beauty
modification to change or modify ethnic or racial traits to appear as another group happens everywhere

People keep giving me lemon curd. Help.
We have a massive, decades-old lemon tree so guests and family keep asking “can i take some lemons?” And i am "please god take some lemons they are everywhere and the ones i miss that drop make the yard smell like pine o cleen as they rot yes please take the fucking lemons here’s a large bag fill it, fill it to the brim for christ’s sake And lo, they taketh of the lemon.
And then. Aaaaaand then. They feel bad about rescuing us from lemons and GIVE US FUCKING LEMON CURD IN RETURN. Always lemon curd. No tarts no cheesecake, no marmalades, no limincello, no lemonade, no lemon cakes, no lemongeddon solo derivatives no, just lemon curd. Curd upon curd upon curd. My life is becoming a hell of small repurposed cream cheese jars.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
Buy something large and heavy from Temu. Put in for a free return, but fill the box with an equivalent amount of lemons instead. Make sure you put the reason for return as “item was a lemon”.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
a big box of lemons on your nature should help get rid of lemons
the strangers won’t feel compelled to give you lemon curd or anything really, they know they are doing you a favour by taking them
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
sadly last time I tried that the local meth head started hocking them at cars on South Road

If you have heaps and are on the same side of town, I will happily take some lemons! I like the selling idea that Huw gave or even just leaving them in front of your house in a basket with a free sign

Salt preserved lemons are good, and easy should you wish to try
stufromoz@aus.social 7 hours ago
@Taleya @YarraByte @stib preserved lemons? As per Moroccan tradition?
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
I made those once a few years ago. Didn’t care for them, so i’m cool with them missing the list
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
I don’t see the problem. Love the stuff.
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
So do I. That should give you an idea of how much curd is being inflicted.
mativity@aus.social 6 hours ago
@Taleya @YarraByte how sad for you.
I also have a loads and loads of lemons from the lemon tree, but noone wants to take them away and return them as curd to me.
Why don't you try giving the curd away.

Happy (test) cricket day to all those who celebrate. Boo to having a meeting at 1pm that will interfere with watching the start of play*
- by which I mean I have to have it on my ipad on silent while I nod along on the video call…

Yessss! Hopefully the weather realises it’s cricket and beer season and start warm up a bit.

Hayfever has been really bad lately so I bought a Vicks inhaler. Do I try and stick it all the way up my nostrils cos mine ain’t that big and I don’t want to burn the entrance? Help please.

Asking this here as I’m fairly sure some of you do this sorry if stuff for a living and for the life of me I can’t find a fix…

Image Windows 11 popped up with this two days ago. Was from a fresh boot and the computer sits unused for days so there had been no multiple log in attempts. My pin won’t let me in, and the use other sign in option does not come up as an option. To be honest, I can even think whether there is a password set, might just be the pin. I can log into my kids profile, not using their pin, I get the same message, but with their password backup. The leave for 2 hours does jack. I still get this screen after multiple attempts trying to do this… Is there a way I can log into my admin account from my kids account and fix this? Or another way to fix this…?
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
oh god.
ok ok ok ok so there i a very Big Shit Thing going on with win updates that is bricking things it shouldn’t. But. Try this:
-
Hold the power button to force shut down, then power it back on. Hit and hold f4 to see if you can trigger a safe mode boot.
-
If not, then we try recovery mode - same thing, but hold down f8 and see if loads a boot options menu . If not THAT then:
-
Turn the PC on again, then quickly force it off again by holding down the power button two more times during startup. On the third time, it should autoload Recovery Mode.
-
Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
-
After the restart, press F4 to start in Safe Mode.
Once you’re finally in Safe Mode, Windows should ask for your account password, not the PIN. After logging in hit winkey+I to open settings. Go to Accounts > Sign-in options and under PIN (Windows Hello), click Remove to disable the PIN.
Anyone stuck with this dog sneeze of an OS, make sure you have pin disabled by doing that last sentence.

Ouch. Sorry my solution to this was to change to linux 🐧
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Yeah, I was thinking that too. No real need for windows that I can think of. I used to run Linux and ran into issues every now and then hence changing back…

I had a dream that I literally contracted HIV from a mosquito bite in Africa. I was back in Perth and did a swab test for it for some reason and it was positive. The. I went to my GP for a test and they were like yup you have HIV now but it’s not so bad, take these meds and you’ll be okay in 6 months, but you have to be very careful and don’t use any sharp objects for the next 6 months, not even butter knives.

@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone’s card from yesterday reminded me of this movie I watched a while ago. Burning Hell is one of those so bad it’s good movies where a pentacostal preacher is telling you how bad hell is:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Pvkl0d_Z0&pp=ygUSYnVybm…
Be warned if you watch this you’ll never be able to get the way he says ‘hell’ out of your head.
I watched this and the documentary Jesus Camp around the same time and I figured something out about these religions, especially in the States; they spend all this time telling you how bad hell is and to not be bad, but never tell you what a good person does. This movie is an entire hour about how bad hell is, with no explainer on how to be a good person or how to get into heaven. Imagine living your entire life only being told what not to do with no direction on what you should do. I think things over there start to make sense by seeing this as the mentality people were brought up with and how they impose their will on others.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Thanks I will watch it this weekend.
