I’d like to move to Sweden one day, that’s probably the soonest I’ll be seeing snow
- Comment on Strongest cold front of 2024 to bring weekend snow, followed by potential record-breaking 'blocking high' 1 day ago:
I’ve still never seen real snow in person. I have seen fake snow once, but it’s not quite the same

Probably. But Ninite pro seems to manage automatically updating programs, so perhaps they do actually use it on some internal system

Did you go to bed at 8pm?
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🍜 Saturday, June 29, 2024 1 day ago:
I almost went for a 6pm nap earlier

Watching petrol prices fascinates me so much, since I don’t have a car. It’s $1.80 one day and then a week later it’s $2.03? But then you can get it for $1.90 if you drive to the other side of the city

I wanted to get into that but just couldn’t for some reason. Only watched the first few episodes, but I feel almost certain that if I can make it past the first season it will probably become one of my favourite shows. I’m just weird like that

When I was in Adelaide in March we went to dinner at some rooftop burger place on Friday night. There was a dude in one of those cars without a lid that makes far too much noise blasting music driving around the block and revving at the lights (we were on a corner). It was so weird. I don’t understand what makes people just do loops of the block for hours on end… Who can even afford that much petrol!

Interesting. Apparently the city of Melbourne use Ninite

Apparently we’ve had 0.8mm since 9 here. It’s a little damp outside, and I can hear a few drops falling but it’s very light. It actually looks like the worst of it is hitting (and will hit) between Wallan and shepparton. Hope they don’t flood again

God, it was so strong last night! Thought the tree was gonna fall over…

Yesterday
- I learnt how to use a lighter (I don’t smoke and I’ve generally not been able to have candles or incense, so I’ve just never learnt how to use one).
- I fell asleep really quickly
- I got a new laptop charger to replace my old one which was a cheap knockoff that wouldn’t stay in the wall (it would fall out)

Update: I made some space to give cities skylines 2 a go. Oh boy it was a slideshow. I think I was getting around 10fps on low graphics which looked really bad anyway.
Decided to just do a refund for it. I don’t think I will have a computer capable of running it until the 2030s. But given how much they were cooling for bad optimisation when it came out, I thought they would’ve worked on some better optimisation by now

My sale was not very productive. I only got 3 games because I decided to buy cities skylines 2, which was only 10% off and still going for 62 bucks.
Also I don’t actually have enough space to install any of them because I left my hard drive at home

Oooh competitive goonsy. You beat me, although you were 5 seconds early and posted this yesterday…

Well, I don’t have any open cuts in any case so it’s not like there’s much transmission pathway for anything anyway. Just gross having someone’s blood on my wall and hand, especially when I don’t know who’s blood it is
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎼 Thursday, June 27, 2024 3 days ago:
Tmi and kind of icky
spoiler
I squashed a mosquito that was buzzing around and it left blood on the wall. I don’t know whether it’s more or less gross if it’s my blood or someone else’s, but it’s icky 🤢

I took the LLN assessment because I didn’t want it hanging over my head. It didn’t tell me my score/how well I did, and nobody told me what I needed to get anyway.
I think I did well on the communication and written portion, but I think I sucked on the math part. I know I screwed up an answer that I know, because I misclicked and pushed the wrong button, but I couldn’t go back… Thanks for being so understanding, computer system.
I guess I’m happy I’ve done it, because it means I can’t forget about it. But now I have to have it hanging over my head until Tuesday, not knowing whether I passed or failed. My course is due to commence on the 16th, too, so I don’t have much time to fix myself if I colossally fucked it up

♥️ thanks Chiddy, I appreciate you! I didn’t actually know you went to TAFE, mind if I ask what you studied?
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎼 Thursday, June 27, 2024 4 days ago:
A BKSB is an assesment used in high schools (at least my high school) that assesses where you are in math/english out of 5. I believe the general idea is that by the time you finish year 12, you should be a perfect 5 in both, 4 in y11, 3 in y10, etc etc. Most TAFE courses require year 10 levels of things which matches with a 3 in BKSB. I think that’s how that works, anyway. But TAFEs don’t use BKSB, they usually devise their own LLN assessments or buy one from another company I guess
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎼 Thursday, June 27, 2024 4 days ago:
Yeah, it’s not my literacy I’m concerned about, it’s the math. I did a mock LLN assessment (BKSB) my school offers, and I scored a 5 in english, and a 2.9 in math. Apparently the equivalent BKSB score usually needed for cert III/IV is a 3. So I’m not too far off what’s probably need. But they’re different assessments

Update: I suspect they may be fake, because they still haven’t put on MMM. They’re just listening to the foxy
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎼 Thursday, June 27, 2024 4 days ago:
Depends. Was the 0 and “i8” intentional?
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎼 Thursday, June 27, 2024 4 days ago:
I got a phone call from the TAFE people about that course I wanted to take. They scheduled a meeting with me for Tuesday morning for a pre-training review or something. I have to complete a literacy and numeracy assesment before then. I was nervous, but they let me know that even if I don’t score as highly as I need to, it won’t necessarily be a disqualification. They said that the LLN assesment is just their prefered way of assessing whether I could actually understand the work, rather than being a firm requirement. Wish someone told me that before, because being worried about failing is the only reason I didn’t leave school for TAFE in March.
I’m still worried they might not accept me though. They don’t list eligibility criteria besides the LLN assesment which I should pass anyway, but I just feel like I must look like a terrible student. Although I guess they shouldn’t care since they get paid either way
