    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.

    OK first attempt at posting a photo…

    This is Clyde, one half of the local pair with Bonnie. Been visiting us for years and always bring their juvenile offspring to meet us.

      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.

    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.

        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.

      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.

        nah, it’s just actually moved with the times. Very gen Z aimed, but it’s a TV show, what do you expect?

    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.

      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 :|

      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.

      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 :)

    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…

      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.

        Yep great point. I booked an earlier appointment for tomorrow.

        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 ⁨9⁩ ⁨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.

    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.

        I did that too, but the lamb fat found its way into the bottom part anyway. Grumble.

    Trying a pressure cooker risotto tonight. Meatballs were incredible, so have high hopes.

    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.

    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 ⁨9⁩ ⁨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+

    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

    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.

    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.
