Hi Clyde. 😀
Nath@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I should probably inform you that this is not an owl. Nor does it appear to run on electricity, but I can’t be 100% certain of that.

When I first got my dog people would say “oh he’s your boy” and I’m like “no he’s my buddy”. Now I’m like “come here to mummy. Tell me what you want”. I even do baby talk with him which I never did with my own child. I love hearing him crunching on food yet hate it when humans do it.

Do you also ask your dog to go get mummy a beer?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Haha. I have asked but he chooses ignorance at times.
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
ain’t nothing like a facebook rando threatening to do very real physical violence to you because you pointed out Doctor Who has always been a bit camp.
bananafungus@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I thought most people (myself included) were into Doctor Who because it was camp…
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I think this arsehole is one of the old guard who’s all ITs SeRioUs ScIfI
yes, it is on occasion. It’s also camp. And if he’s gonna try and anorak me I’ll fucking eat his head 'cos I’m equally old school and nerdy (40+ years)…I’ve just also got social skills and a sex life.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
to be totally fair, Its gone from a bit more subtle to… drastically less so with Ncuti. I’m not complaining, but for the more oblivious viewers it might’ve been a bit of a shock.
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
nah, it’s just actually moved with the times. Very gen Z aimed, but it’s a TV show, what do you expect?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Good thing I panicked & spent a heap of coin and time on the watering systems in the last 2 months :(
I will be vindicated broken clock and all that but for now I have no idea if what is in actually will keep shit alive in a dry spell.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Ha this is me too. Just a few weeks ago finished a big four-zone system all done in buried 19mm pipe.
Thankfully it’s all phone-controllable, so we’ve just been able to hit ‘defer’ and not have it come on in the rain… but the defer button has been getting a workout :|
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I was going to put in sprinklers etc as I’d planted a lot, but the weather has been most helpful thus far. Was worried about planting early summer due to El Niño.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 months ago
You are better off buying components and setting up and building your experience in the good times, rather than when shtf and everything is sold out/expensive and people are more desperate :)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
She’s gone again, Miss Seagoon has gone to NZ for a year or so 😭Flight in a few hours
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Sounds like a good excuse for a visit!
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Dinner devoured.
Stacked Burger and fries.
Need to resist falling to a food coma.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
The Young Seagoons cooked me dinner cos I’m not well . 😭
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
How are you feeling today and how’s your back?
Are you feeling any better?
StudChud@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Aw yeah! Dinner of champions 👌
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
So Gibson is still sluggish today… Do you guys think it’s still from yesterday’s heat? My appointment with the vet is tomorrow. She’s eating and drinking just fine. Just won’t move from the bed…
bananafungus@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Always worth a look if you are genuinely concerned! My idiot was all floppy and slow once, so I went to the emergency clinic and he actually had a pretty high fever. They gave an injection and it was no joke as if someone had rebooted him, once home it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Yep great point. I booked an earlier appointment for tomorrow.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
That’s good to know! She might just have a tummy ache from eating something she shouldn’t have. Lucky I have pet insurance!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It won’t hurt her to go to the vet for a checkup. I suspect everything will be fine. It’s a good opportunity for her to learn that a vet visit can be nice.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
That’s just called Wednesdays in cat world.
Outlier1031@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Your cat sounds like me whenever I have a day off work.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
GO BACK TO BED!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Can I sleep in your bed
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Alright. Get in.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Lamb rump steak consumed - with glee. The airfryer does them perfectly. Juicy pink insides, crispy fat and the potat & cauli mash went superbly with them. Does anyone else hate cleaning lamb fat out of the airfryer? This is the only downside.
Eagle@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I can put the bottom part of mine in the dishwasher, it was a major selling point for me
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I do but I line it baking paper to make cleaning a little bit easier.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I did that too, but the lamb fat found its way into the bottom part anyway. Grumble.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 10 months ago
MrsCalhoon, kidcalhoon1 & 2 are camping riverside in Warburton. … They’re wet… From the BoM - possibly severe with heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding…good, good, not worried at all…
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
yeah I hate to say it but I’d be pulling up stumps.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Didn’t have dinner last night cause I just wasn’t hungry, this morning I had some multigrain sourdough toast and orange juice and my stomachs still if its happy with that or not. Fuck this, Im gonna get some chips for lunch. Just wanna feel normal for a bit.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Trying a pressure cooker risotto tonight. Meatballs were incredible, so have high hopes.
Catfish@aussie.zone 10 months ago
This sounds sacrilegious. I’ve heard of no stir risotto, but pressure cooker?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I didn’t realise that AI extended to music but of course it does, and of course there’s an explosion of AI covers/mashups and I do think we are in the end times. Late to the party but Holy moly.
Have this “cover” of Hank Williams doing Straight Outta Compton…
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Things that shouldn’t exist. (Didn’t click, don’t want to know what hat sounds like)
Outlier1031@aussie.zone 10 months ago
The Albanese government can absolutely go fuck itself. People earning $200,000 and over to get tax cuts equaling to $9000 a year, while low income workers get a measley $125 a year in tax cuts. Doing absolutely fuck all about the cost of living crisis while they’re at it. Can’t believe I voted for these useless pricks.
bull@aussie.zone 10 months ago
“In 2024–25, the Government will simplify and flatten the personal tax system by abolishing the 37 per cent tax bracket entirely. Australians earning more than $41,000 will only pay 32.5 cents in the dollar all the way up to the top marginal tax rate threshold that will be adjusted to $200,000.”
This is actually great for me and a lot of people who aren’t on 200k+
just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Asked a mate of a mate if they wanted me to download a couple of torrents for them since I’m going to meet them to watch a movie.
Nek minit, I’ve ended up with JDownloader to manage a ton of debrid direct downloads and figured out SoulSeek (this place still survived after two decades?!) to get some random EDM flacs…
Feeling very 2000s especially with having to configure port forwarding and fiddle with UIs that probably haven’t been updated since that era as well
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Just had some crazy bloke come up and start shouting at me. Ffs why do we put up with this city?!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I think that’s a feature of most major cities. Not that it’s good, but at this point I almost expect it.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Got the bins in just before the rain came over. Sipping a coffee and watching the weather through my window is blissful.
I’ve turned into an 80 year old somehow
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Nothing pairs better than coffee and rain. Except maybe getting hammered and eating maccas at 3am.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I just wish I wasn’t in such a grumpy mood and could enjoy the serenity
bacon@aussie.zone 10 months ago
turned into an 80 year old
not yet, or you would been yelling at the clouds
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Who says I wasn’t
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Miss Seagoon is home for the day, 😊 then she is off to NZ for a coupla years 😭
Nath@aussie.zone 10 months ago
So you are saying you have a great excuse for a kiwi holiday? Well done!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
wscholermann@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s annoying when people can’t or won’t acknowledge the hypocrisy in their argument. It can’t be ok for one group of people do something and not the other, just because you don’t happen to agree with their position.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s looking like a wet walk this morning. I just washed Mr Woof’s raincoat, I guess we’ll be getting it dirty again 🙂
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It starts with a laser measure and now i’m lookin’ for fancy kick vents (cupboard’s gonna go over a floor duct). Punkin’s tired of waiting for catmandu
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I cleared a lot of stuff out of my bedroom and now have a blank wall that was looking very boring. I have now ordered many decals from Temu, and may have also thrown in one of a mouse coming through a hole in the wall to hide somewhere at work.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Do you look for water when you cross bridges?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Shall I make the new post at midnight?
bacon@aussie.zone 10 months ago
that should be enough time for a walk, orange juice, and salt trip

I might try a new Linux distro, Linux mint is boring. Any suggestions on what I should try? (Preferably not too hard I’m fairly new to Linux)
bananafungus@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Finally am negative, I am free to fly the nest!!! I still have what I would describe as a head cold but other than that I am good to gooooooo! Time to reschedule everything I’ve had to cancel in the last two weeks and blow my calendar way out.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Cool. 😊
