it wont sadly. Excess is like 2k. We intentionally set it as high when the premium and just accepted if the tv blew up or got stolen we will just cop it on the chin. So I guess thats whats gonna happen.
And her phone ping in locations that deathcaps grow, but she says she doesn’t forage for mushrooms. And she served her own meal to herself on a different coloured plate to the others. So many coincidences!
It's so crazy! Yes, innocent until proven guilty and really only has to have a morsel of doubt in there, but this is just so bizarre to hear. The whole story gets more and more insane. Not wanting her kids to be tested/treated because she didn't want them to be worried, but saying they ate the leftovers?! I'm so interested to hear what the defence will say.
Going in to get a few jabs. Wouldn't let me in because staff yesterday said I need a referral. Got the referral, turns out needed a script. told the GP, said I need a script. He reluctantly writes one up, I go next door to the chemist grab the jab and back to the clinic to be seen by a nurse (who was lovely).
I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.
There is something about moving that brings out the need to decorate. I have bought a cheap rug, I'll see how it works with everything else before deciding if I want to spend the money on a proper one.
Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.
We have phone call & meeting booths in this co-working space for a reason. Guy who works in an office takes call out of the office so as to not bother his staff, but is now pacing around the open plan area talking loudly on the phone. Make it make sense.
I get a text from a random number "i coudln't find ur address" apparently this is what passes for a fucking missed delivery card with couriers nowadays
I've just realised Miss Meow is going to be able to go outside in the new place. She's not going to be able to scale the colourbond fence, and as long as I make sure there are no gaps under gates or anything like that it should be secure enough.
I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.
Bonus aggro: trying to tell a vendor about a serious code issue on their back end and getting shuffled to the AI dumbass repeatedly telling me invalid solutions that assume i'm at fault. Gaaaaaaaaah
in somewhat bad news for the coalition I still very much want to call Dutton a dickhead to his face. Also did you know its labour day in qld next week? cant make this shit up.
Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.
I do not.
Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.
there is nothing more frustrating than watching a parcel you fucking well know could have been delivered TODAY if they hadn't been a lazy shit head back across the other side of the state
Having fomo looking at the weather in Melbourne atm. Figures that almost as soon as I get back on Sunday the weather will get warmer again.
Today's the first day I've had some time to myself... or so I say, but I really need to get onto the Python thing for work and wrap that whole thing up today so they can invoice tomorrow. Uggghh I just want to switch my brain off and lie in bed with the AC on watching Animal Kingdom S4 (finally Ellen Barkin is getting phased out. I hate her acting in this show)
But nope. Time to fire up the laptop and get to asking chatgpt how to do the thing
I said "ok google" and she replied "I can't find your WiFi. You might want to check your router and connections". Ok. Fair enough but why did the one in the kitchen start playing arabic music? I don't even know what Rayan FM is but it says "Stay with us". Ok, but a please might’ve been nice.
I just figured I'd keep it consistent. The HP SSD I'm looking at is at least a known brand and a bit faster for just a bit more.
The current laptop is filing up, but that's from trying to get old games running on it through WINE and not being partitioned properly because I left Windows on there. I could back everything up to the new laptop and do a clean sweep of the old one.
How much free space do you have on there? I've only got a 1tb in my gaming pc because media lives on the NAS. I could probably have gotten away with a 500gb, I only play three games anyway.
There's plenty of free space on there at the moment because it just has work stuff.
It might replace my current laptop because it can get pretty slow at times, but weirdly it's only on the internet, and specifically sites like Google Maps.
I don't have a NAS set up yet. Definitely on my list of things to do, I should just buy one because I've had trouble getting the desktop to work as remote storage.
Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, when I finally got around to it... ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like...
I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!
I've tinkered with using AI to help with code and it's one area I'd trust it with a bit more than anything else. Code is a lot more structured than regular language so it's harder for AI to just hallucinate an answer. And it helps when you're somewhat familiar with the language and you're trying to fix a specific problem.
I can see why everyone just uses Shopify for online stores these days. I went with Woocommerce because it's free, but setting up variable items like clothes with different sizes is such a headache.
It's a manual process either way. You either go into every product and set up the variations yourself, or you upload one CSV, have to turn on product variations for each product individually, then upload a second CSV with all the variations.
I don't like it. They charge a monthly fee and a percentage of sales. They're also trying to become like a platform for online shopping, like they're trying to muscle in on becoming a monopoly.
And they seem pretty content with making it easy to start your own AI generated dropshipping store. They're trying to sell the dream so they can collect that subscription money. Starting a store is only the first step, not the final destination.
Somewhat unrelated but etsy was killed by drop shippers. It used to be amazing for people to sell their wares but of course capitalism destroyed yet another unique endeavour.
It certainly has. They let themselves be ruined by the one thing that made the website unique, and they've been cracking down on creators as well, making it hard for people to sell more unique items
Exactly this. Charge subscriptions, plus fees for add-ons that should be there in the first place. Ugh!
Plus they also leaked all my personal details. Thanks Shopifuckers.
So the rest of the family here missed out on a whole table being delivered. I just brought it in from the front step.
We've got one of those Google doorbells so once I find one of the old Home Minis we have kicking around I'm going to set it up in the back half of the house so they can hear the doorbell

Got robbed for the first time ever, just some stuff out of the garage. Still unlikely to vote liberal/nationals.
Oh wow, how did they get in?
dunno. Garage door was open when we got up. It has been opening itself but I thought we solved that issue.
Oh shit, that sucks
yep. Quoting up replacements and it wont be cheap.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you didn't lose too much from it.
Damn, that sucks. It may be expensive but I hope it was nothing sentimental.
that's awful
I've changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.
It's mind blowing.
Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.
Unreal.
this is wonderful that you are so much better 🌞
I'm glad you're better. You are a sweet kind man who deserves better in the world.
That's incredibly kind of you to say :)

Lease signed. Bond paid. Automatic rent payments set up. Countdown to key aquisition: 9 days
First day of Erin Patterson's Trial has been pretty wild - including her potentially faking cancer?!
And saying she didn't have a food dehydrator when she'd been showing pics of it on Facebook and talking about how she used it to dry mushrooms.
And her phone ping in locations that deathcaps grow, but she says she doesn’t forage for mushrooms. And she served her own meal to herself on a different coloured plate to the others. So many coincidences!
True! My colleagues and I are obsessed with this case.
Same here. I cannot wait to hear what her defence comes out with. She gave the police the wrong phone!
what an idiot
It's so crazy! Yes, innocent until proven guilty and really only has to have a morsel of doubt in there, but this is just so bizarre to hear. The whole story gets more and more insane. Not wanting her kids to be tested/treated because she didn't want them to be worried, but saying they ate the leftovers?! I'm so interested to hear what the defence will say.
she could be innocent and just a pathological liar and idiot
the world sure is strange
tired meow

I'm watching Underbelly for the first time since it "aired" and we all watched it on bootleg dvds smuggled over the border. Still pretty gripping.
I liked when they fought for the gun like two brothers fighting for a remote. Just both grab it and wriggle.
So it turns out the Perth Museum is massive. I've been here three hours and done, like, one floor
Just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. Holy fucking shit that sucked.
My dentist sent me to a periodontist for a deep clean. It took two hours and $3000 dollars. That sucked too.
Ouuuuuuch
Don't ever do that without local!
I wish I'd known that was an option lol
It was a good laugh with the dentists, but holy shit never again without a local
Doctor problems.

Absolutely pointless waste of time.
I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.
Cushions and an arty lamp.
There is a lamp in my cart. And a pendant light. Cushions I intend to make myself.
i resemble this
i have bought arty lamps and have bought rugs and looking to buy some real rugs
There is something about moving that brings out the need to decorate. I have bought a cheap rug, I'll see how it works with everything else before deciding if I want to spend the money on a proper one.
Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.
I look at it this way - every mobile number I bock is a future promotional number blocked.
agreed!
I don't know what makes me so special, but I haven't received political spam texts from anyone. Maybe just lucky?
Me either, I'm feeling a bit left out!
Neither have I. Counting my blessings.
Same, no spam, the only paper mailer in my letterbox is one from labour
PTV charges by time but 45min journey turns into 2 hours
We have phone call & meeting booths in this co-working space for a reason. Guy who works in an office takes call out of the office so as to not bother his staff, but is now pacing around the open plan area talking loudly on the phone. Make it make sense.
oh fuck off.
I get a text from a random number "i coudln't find ur address" apparently this is what passes for a fucking missed delivery card with couriers nowadays

this is nice 🐈 it's good for cats to be in a bit of garden
the tide was very low today
I found a sinker and a very good large abalone shell that has a blister pearl
the main attribute of sinkers and lures is they have to attract fishermen into buying them
Late to work because I was too busy reading the drama between Nagi from RecipeTin Eats and Brooke Bellamy/Penguin, oops!
My take on the whole drama: hmm, maybe I should make a caramel slice.
they do look delicious
I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.

in somewhat bad news for the coalition I still very much want to call Dutton a dickhead to his face. Also did you know its labour day in qld next week? cant make this shit up.
I'm sure he will be personally devastated by your remark
I like to hope that he has a team monitoring social media. that they are tracking the over all comments around his name.
Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.
I do not.
Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.
Off again today but attended a meeting with the slt of a large national franchise chain.
They were actually pretty funny lol I was surprised how they didn't have a giant stick shoved up their ass.
Othetwise the open mic place is 2 train stops away from work. So very keen to play a show before the end of next month.
I've been wearing my top inside out til now until someone told me about it.
Yep, having that sort of a day.
Got some hot cross buns on clearance from Aldi, for the applie and cinnamon ones for 2 bucks.
I just ate a big bowl of super crunchy chips from the air fryer, oh they were so good, haven’t had them for ages.

recovered the bench seat, looks really nice
hot work tho, stripped down to my cami, leather tradie glove on my right hand and comfy jeans
now listening to some death in vegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5nzwqj3utY

I said "ok google" and she replied "I can't find your WiFi. You might want to check your router and connections". Ok. Fair enough but why did the one in the kitchen start playing arabic music? I don't even know what Rayan FM is but it says "Stay with us". Ok, but a please might’ve been nice.
*it's not a suggestion. *
A plea or a command? I dunno.
An order.
I'm going to buy my old laptop off work but it needs a new SSD.
I don't want to spend too much on a replacement SSD, but I need to balance speed and capacity.
There's probably no point looking on the second hand market as SSDs just wear out and I'd be buying one with a shorter shelf life vs going new
SSDs are getting pretty dirt cheap, you can get a 240gb for $29. Is it SATA or NVME?
Its NVME and I figured I'd go 2tb gen 4 since that's what's in there.
I can get one for about $169 but I'm all about cost minimisation
2tb is heaps for a laptop, do you need that much?
If you drop down to gen 3, it'll still be plenty fast and slightly cheaper: https://www.umart.com.au/product/silicon-power-2tb-p34a60-gen3x4-tlc-r-w-up-to-2-200-1-600-mb-s-pcie-m-2-nvme-ssd-61704
But gen4 from the same site is not much more: https://www.umart.com.au/product/klevv-2tb-cras-c910-k02tbm2sp0-c91-pcie-4-0-nvme-m-2-2280-ssd-80368
Never heard of klevv though, could be sketchy
I just figured I'd keep it consistent. The HP SSD I'm looking at is at least a known brand and a bit faster for just a bit more.

I need to remember moisturise my skin more; so much dry skin.
Developing a mild cauliflower ear despite draining fluids out.
Gonna look like an absolute killer in my office attire.
The doc wouldn't drain mine. Now I have a lump in my ear.

beach first then back to work
Enjoy this glorious sunshine!
So the rest of the family here missed out on a whole table being delivered. I just brought it in from the front step.
We've got one of those Google doorbells so once I find one of the old Home Minis we have kicking around I'm going to set it up in the back half of the house so they can hear the doorbell
