Maybe the problem was that you didn’t eat ENOUGH pizza? The dream monster was still hungry.

Working the public holiday is bad enough, but whyyy did our central engineering team have to throw a spanner in the works and break stuff to ‘keep things interesting’ and make today extra-not-cruisy?!? 🤬

Well I mean it’s right there so you may as well answer it if it rings.

Pour the snakes into the chips and enjoy a nice bag of chakes.
Don’t do this with real snakes of course. Unless you’re into that kind of thing I guess.

The data knows it can run, but it can’t hide. It sees you coming and resigns itself to collection and analysis. Resistance is Futile, and you are unstoppable. You will kick the data’s arse into next week if it dares try to resist you. As has been said already, you got this =)

My brother is near Caloundra and scored a free trampoline appearing in his yard in the last big storm. Could end up with a boat this time…

I only make heaps of noise in the bathroom when the person in the stall next to me is on the phone.

My workplace is full of 18-21yo university students. I have given up trying to swerve and dodge out of their way because they’re walking down corridors with their heads buried in their phones and weaving all over the place more than Metthew in his Commodore on the freeway.
Now I just walk a straight path (off to one side, not in the middle of the walkway) and just let them crash into me. They wake up startled from their trances and frantically apologise for not watching where they’re going… and then proceed to re-bury their heads in their screens and carry on as they were :|
It’s already happened twice today.

I’ve been without a working CRT for far too long, it’s time! Of course the PC I’ll connect to is currently running an IDE spinning rust disk with an OS installed from floppy disk, because I’m a
glutton for punishmentstickler for authenticity :DNext mission is to find a monitor for C64 duties (because oh my god do LCDs destroy the output from one of those no matter what you try and feed it through!)

I’m up at 5:30 and at work just before 7 each day. My normal lunch time is around 11:30 (ie. now - leftovers are in the microwave!) because any later and I’d just about pass out from hunger.

Yup know where it is, friends of mine used to live out that way :)

Thanks, that would be much appreciated! I’m in the outer-east but am willing to travel to get it sorted if needs must.

+1 for Team Hose. Start with a nozzle set to a gentler spray pattern, but if noise persists, time to turn that dial to full-blast jet.

For the retro techies out there… I have a CRT monitor that needs repair to fully complete my retro gaming rig. Tube, cables, HV/flyback etc. are fine, it’s got other electronic issues resulting in no video, that are a little more outside my skillset to fix.
Places willing to fix CRTs are now basically non-existent that I can find, anyone have any tips for somewhere that may repair such a thing? Most hear ‘CRT’ and nope out.
Extra frustrating because my dad used to DO exactly this for a living! I swear I have aches that stem from helping him move mega-heavy CRT TVs around his workshop as a kid! I have no doubt he’d have been able to sort this thing out in a hour or less. 😔

A nice SG would be next on my wish-list for sure. You’re right they’re very different to play, my old music teacher had one I used to get to use a little bit 20 years or so ago.
With a 5 year old and a crazy workload, I definitely don’t get to play as much as I used to! Our little bloke is showing an interest in music though, my wife is steering him towards piano, I’m on Team Guitar, but we’re not being pushy about it at all. IF he wants to learn an instrument at all it’s entirely up to him!
Of course, the fact that the guitars and ukulele are now prominently mounted on the wall in the room right next to his bedroom had -nothing- to do with me… ;)

WOOOOO!!!
How’d they take it? It’s probably all old hat for them by this point.
