Pleased to hear you are keeping up with your legal obligation to squidge them beans. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed by corporate.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I, for one, welcome our catporate overlords and their bean duty.

Fresh off the tree ready for dehydtation then in a few hours… chilli powder:
Gonna bring some tm.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fuck I love south park. The other one that kills me is the one with Brittany Spears missing half her head. Okay, that sounds terrible when written, and it is, but it’s also funny
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The other fave of mine is manbearpig. They apologised for that but that was fuckn’ funny.

Are peoples cats sleeping longer during winter or is mine just lazy lol
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s hard to tell. Miss Meow may have increased from 97% of the day to 98%.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
the meowing from Bill has increased
and the boys are sleeping upstairs in the living room now because I leave the heater on up there
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I think they all get a bit lazier as the weather cools off.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I am a cat and I am sleeping longer
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Mickey has just been very needy, if we’re moving around he gets angry and starts swiping my legs until I sit down and let him in the oodie or on my lap/chest. He’s been sleeping on our bed as well, when during summer he’d be in one of his cubbies or stretched out on the floor.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Gibson has been really needy as well. Anytime I’m in the studio she comes over and rubs all over my legs lol
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Inner North Brewery, 3pm tomorrow. Be there or not lol
Should be hanging out there for a number of hours :)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Bit of a rough morning.
Chilli powder yesterday went well. 8 hrs @ 60c in the oven. Air purifier maxxed out lol. End up breathing it in, and then also it goes through 2 latex gloves and absorbed through skin. Stuff is pure fiyah.
Gonna do another batch today as some weird form of self flagellation. Gonna keep the windows open for this one.

Anyone else dislike mint as a flavour? Like, peppermint or spearmint chewing gum or tic tac, or toothpaste, minty ice cream, and god damn it keep it away from my chocolate.
I don’t mind it as the herb or whatever, it’s just the flavouring.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yep. It burns. My 12yo is the same.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yes! I’d be very happy never to taste mint again.
At one point when I was growing I had some fruit flavoured toothpaste which was much nicer, I don’t know why mint has to be the standard.

Well the RSPCA were useless :/ I can lodge a welfare report but either they talk to the owners which will land me in the shit and likely nothing changes, or there’s a slim chance of him being taken away. Neither are great outcomes. The other alternative is I talk them but in my experience they won’t take it on board. They tend to just get defensive or hostile and don’t change. Or I confine him for 2 weeks for treatment and then release him hoping he’s healthy enough not to contract it again… but that’s dicey as legally he’s someone else’s property. Fuck I hate neglectful owners. They’ll allow a situation to develop where their animal is unwell and/or causing problems to others but you’re the bad guy and you’re the problem if you do anything about it.

wooo Kodi auto-update monitoring scripts written, set as services, running every 60 seconds.
… now to see if they blow out the jumpbox or fileserv
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Saw the cat. He was kinda following me but by the time I got ready he was gone. Little shit.
I should have just made the RSPCA report.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
why so angry
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Because I’ve gone through a decent amount of distress and disruption (not to mention expense) as a result of his ‘visits’ and don’t even get the chance to help him.

I first discovered that he’d infected me with ringworm in Melbcat’s last week, right before she went into hospital for the last time and died. So instead of being able to relax with her before that I was frantically laundering everything to protect her health while she cried for me to come to bed. I came back long enough to settle her and then went back to working. Then I had to upend my entire house and deep clean the spores instead of having the time to mourn her. The infection came back. Then he was crying at my door on a rainy night so I removed all traces of her trying to get everything put in the other room and to create a warm dry space indoors if he needed one. Now he decides he’d rather do whatever he wants rather than be treated. And his owners don’t care that he’s out after curfew, sick, and hunting native birds. And if he comes back the potential for him to reinfect me or my house still remains.
Screw me for caring I guess. This has made a hard stressful time even harder. I think I’m done trying to help anyone for a while.

Looks like they’re putting the elevator in next door. Single dwelling, 4 (I think?) stories. I dunno but it’d just feel weird getting in an elevator in your home (unless mobility concerns etc.). I have no idea what sort of person would live in that sorta place. Thankfully it’s to the south.
Renderings are up… Fuckn’ wild:

The way I recoiled in horror at that street front.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
This just looks like any other new build in a upper-class area, extremely boring. And I’m guessing some heritage home was knocked down so we could have this beauty?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yup. No soul at all.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That joint has less personality than a shopping centre.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I just don’t understand why
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
first
have sore throat, will sleep more
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m feeling a bit ucky myself today. Called in sick and went back to sleep for a bit.
The nice thing about calling in sick on a day I expected to work is that all my meals are already prepped. As an extra bonus if I need it I have all those jars of chicken soup I made a few weeks ago ready to go.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago

Half my team is down today with one lurgy or another…why can’t it ever be easy.
