    We’re regulars at a Vietnamese restaurant in Footscray. Been going there for years.

    Waitress asked us for a photo today as they have a wall out back of customers who get special discounts and freebies.

    They’re so sweet.

    Ugh. A marketplace scam I didn’t anticipate: Buyer collects, but then later claims some issue/ reason for a refund while they re-list and on-sell the item. They hope to cash in on getting the refund as well as selling the item.

    I’ve reported them. But it’s still very concerning that they have made physical threats. Bloody lowlife.

      threats?

      They have done this many times before.

      source
      • _miss_cellophane_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Yeah. They seemed very comfortable with stooping to threats to try to convince me to refund them. That’s kinda what made me search online if this was a scam.

    I survived the night shift and got some good sleeping in today, ready to go again tonight 🙂

    It’s amazing to see the amount of effort put in by volunteers all over the state (and from interstate) in harrowing and dangerous conditions. Thousands of people out there willing to put their lives on hold to undertake some of the most arduous work possible, and to keep going back again. Even with the worst of the weather past us there is going to be a lot of work ongoing to bring the fires under control.

      There’s a couple of fires round Altona meadows and point Cook. I opened my window for so fresh air and immediately had to shut it again. Now the air purifier is going OFF!

      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Thanks. I couldn’t see a specific source of smoke, just general haze of smoke, but definitely from that direction

      yuck. I had that yesterday afternoon, but fortunately today it has all cleared where I am.

    Hey gang. So first half a day in Japan didn’t go amazingly well but there were some good moments. I had an overnight flight to China and then a connecting flight to Japan, and I had really sore knees and couldn’t get comfortable. Transiting through China felt like a fever dream. Got here, went on train. The real scramble shouldn’t be Shibuya Scramble but Shinjuku Station, because it’s jam-packed. I then met up with friend who carried my luggage for me, and her friend who tagged along bought us yakiniku which was nice. Hostel is cool, but the shower rooms were a bit gross and there was nowhere to put my clothes and toiletries. I didn’t really get to do what I had planned to do today, but that’s the fun of it I guess. Hopefully I’ll get some good rest tonight and that the konbinis live up to the hype.

      Glad you are there ok. First day never goes to plan for me. If you are there and get a rest that’s a win!

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      the first day is getting your bearings and making sure you have your stuff and are where you’re supposed to be, also looking around while you do your stuff and seeing if anything catches your eye that you can visit later

    Copped an infection from yesterday’s stuff. Antibiotics have kicked in finally.

    Been practising a song for about 5 weeks and finally got it down. Here’s a phone recording if anyone’s interested

    I have been listening to the audio book of the ABC of Relativity by Russell until the principles and laws get into my head and I start to imagine the world and my place in it differently.

    One thing is it makes me feel so very very tiny in a very very large universe, when Jupiter and Saturn are considered very small then I am what?

    Some debt place has been texting me for months to pay for 2 COVID tests I needed to pay for back in April. They just sent me their final notice so I’m thinking I still don’t pay and see what happens. They haven’t done anything but text, and there has been no threat of further escalation.

    Part of it is because the tests were done in the name of my 3 year old son. Could it impact him 15 years later if he defaulted on a debt when he was a child?

    source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I don’t think that’s how debt works here, like a debt incurred under a child’s name cannot be claimed when they become an adult.

      If the debt is in the name of a child, then they cannot collect I’m pretty sure. Like they can’t speak to them to verify identity or anything, and a child has no ability to pay.

      source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It might go to collections and snowball to become a problem years later. Personally I’d just pay it

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Thanks for the links. I’ll look into it a bit more. The hope is it isn’t worth pursuing because it’s less than $200 but I want to make sure

    Kind of considering trying to find the recipe for those Italian lemon cookies I made in home ec decades ago. But they were a traditional recipe that used lard… I don’t know if shops still sell lard. Or if they would sit well with me.

    Plus I’d have to shop. And clean the kitchen before and after.

    I am bored out of my mind but physically feel like I got hit by a bus

    source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You can definitely still buy lard.

      Cookies are the sort of thing you can make a bit at a time, you don’t have to do everything in one go. So you could write an ingredients list for when you have the energy to shop next, then when you have the ingredients you can measure out an ingredient or two at a time when you have the energy, then mix the dough and put it in the fridge until you have the energy to shape it etc.
