It’s even got an Australian one, with Australian slang and swears. It’s amazing.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 4 days ago:
I did the same.
Reddit showed it didn’t give a fsck about my user experience with their banning of third party apps, but they still wanted to sell the content I put the effort in to providing.
Screw you guys. You want to make money off hosting my words, whatever. But don’t stick a pineapple up my arse at the same time and expect me not to feel it.

- Comment on SNAIL PRO TIPS 1 week ago:
I’ve seen news stories for death by eating snails, slugs, and geckos. Also a butterfly that was crushed up and injected.
I did a lot of stupid things as a young bloke, but never did eating random animals from the garden seem like a good idea - let alone injecting one???

It says a LOT about where your faith actually lies if you have to promote a false reality to justify it.
But also;
I am a Christian
How do you reconcile these two viewpoints?

- Comment on Bats the size of a small dog 2 weeks ago:
Bats are cute as hell. Its a pity about the whole lyssa and hendra thing cause I’d love to give one a cuddle.
When I was a young whipper snapper the school had a ranger out who had a bat that you could have crawl all over you. Stinky suckers, but so cute. I probably still have the photo in a box somewhere. Definitely dont think they’d be doing that these days heh.

- Comment on Do electricians know what a bin is? 5 weeks ago:
We hired a sparkie to do dual trade, and fully expected our first lesson to be “how to use a broom”… Turns out he’s the neatest bloke we have! Has a vacuum he uses on every site when he’s finished, a mini leaf blower to clean up the work area if its outside, and uses the “cups with a drill bit through them” tools to do gyprock holes.
Diamond in the rough.

On the one hand I’m against the death penalty, but on the other hand I’m sick of Australians going to Bali and being dickheads.

Or the fact people from Two Rivers are often identified by their physical look and way they speak, but the TV series starts out with every person from their tiny isolated village being ethnically diverse.

I want an unpopular advice - where to you legally get these shows as seamlessly as torrenting?
You can’t, that’s why I pirate it all.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 2 months ago:
I hated it from the first episode.
They had amazing material to work with, all they had to do was adapt it to TV.
A group of amateurs made an awesome Wheel Of Time episode with a budget of about $5 and an afternoon of shooting. Amazon should have just given them the money to do it.

- Comment on Go Private? 3 months ago:
Is it possible to automate? I looked at the Lamington docs briefly and it looked like it uses a file to store config. Thought if the config file was a symlink it would make it easy to change config to be private / be public.
Like this every 30 minutes or whatever.
#!/bin/bash THRESHOLD=1.5 CMD_HIGH="echo ln -sfn /blah/blah/config.json /blah/blah/config.json.private" CMD_LOW="echo ln -sfn /blah/blah/config.json /blah/blah/config.json.public" CPU_CORES=$(nproc) LOAD_15MIN=$(uptime | awk -F'[a-z]:' '{print $2}' | awk -F', ' '{print $3}' | tr -d ' ') if (( $(echo "$LOAD_15MIN > $THRESHOLD" | bc -l) )); then echo "[$(date)] High Load Detected - Current: $LOAD_15MIN, Threshold: $THRESHOLD" echo "[$(date)] Taking Lamington private........ " eval "$CMD_HIGH" else echo "[$(date)] Normal Load Detected - Current: $LOAD_15MIN, Threshold: $THRESHOLD" echo "[$(date)] Returning Lamington to public... " eval "$CMD_LOW" fi
- Comment on Go Private? 3 months ago:
Random thought - can you toggle private instance reasonably simply? I know nothing about running a Lamington stall, but if its a JSON file is it possible to have two versions and update a symlink to the version you want to use at the time?
The reason I ask is it would be pretty sneaky tricks to monitor server load and toggle to private when it exceeds a threshold for a fixed period of time, then toggle back (i.e. greater than 50% server load = private for the next 2 hours or whatever).
Alternatively, I’ll just put my vote in for going private.
- Comment on Go Private? 3 months ago:
Do people find the server organically through Google results or something else that may be impacted by the change? If there’s value in that there might be an argument against going private.
If enabling it reduces the need for server upgrades as time goes on I guess it’s a positive though. Don’t want to be paying extra server costs just to help out some AI company.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 4 months ago:
Got an EV too - 85kw’ish of battery ready to roll.
Would love to soak it up over peak period, then recharge it overnight at off peak rates. Doing that alone would be a big saving.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 4 months ago:
I am very keen for batteries. We have 20’ish kw of solar and so much is wasted because of export limits. If I could pump all that waste in to a battery to use over the peak period of an afternoon/evening we’d greatly reduce our bills.

I dunno, I feel like that’s a bit of a cop out. There’s more flaws than just the story being a bit off.
The fan produced episode was legitimately better in terms of bringing the world to life in my opinion… And it had a budget of about $8. Amazon should have just given these dudes the money.

Actuallly you know what? Let the Amazon one be another turning of the wheel and give these dudes money to do another one. I’d watch it again. I’ve read the series a dozen times over.

As a book reader, it sucks. They did Mat dirty, and they completely ballsed up… well pretty much everything.
As a stand alone series, it’s probably not too bad.
- Comment on Will Australia’s media do better at cracking down on lies this election? The signs aren’t good 5 months ago:
Just calling out lies in general would be nice.
Also this fake balance shit is getting old.
Its like heres the scientific fact, backed by studies / proof / logic with results that can be replicated… BUT IN THE INTERESTS OF BALANCE, here’s some utter nutjub who believes god is a sock.
Alternatively, here’s Dutton who used insider trading and ??? methods ??? to achieve a portfolio in the triple digits of millions on a cops salary… BUT MEANWHILE ALBO BOUGHT A MANSION for $4m! FOUR WHOLE MILLION! The leader of the country! FOUR million! Its like he’s just rubbing our noses in it! Unlike Dutton who’s hard work and sacrifice is clearly the reason behind his huge gains in self wealth.

I’ll always admire his passion during elections. Dude is like an soccer commentator, getting all over excited over tiny movements and throwing up replays and overlays with arrows pointing at stuff and everything.
I hope his replacement has the same passion.
