Oh my God, the fucking car's been fucking stolen.
How did it get stolen? Did they smash a window or was it towed? (Yup I've heard of this happening).
No sign of glass or anything, so buggered if I know.
Oh no! Hope you had insurance! Time to look at some security systems or something, clearly some bad stuff going on in your neighbourhood.
Yes, thankfully. And since I'm moving in a few months, not worth the security unfortunately.
Holy crap! OMG that's Terrible
Jesus! You ok?
Somewhere between shocked and frigging annoyed.
Oh no! You've had a run of bad luck lately 😕
Oh that sucks! I hope you’re doing ok
Fucking hell, you need to win lotto one of these days to balance out your bad run. I really hope that other bidder backs off and the house comes through for you... Will you have another car available soon?
Other bidder is being aggressive so I'm sitting on things for the rest of the weekend.
My insurance includes a hire car and I'll see if my mechanic has a loaner or something for sale.
Very cute - I was expecting yellow, but they got the fancy black model!
So far everyone who has seen him has said that, including me
Cuuute
I’m excited to announce that my wife’s cat and I have reached a tentative mateship after 4 years. She’s never “hated” me, but she’s always made it pretty clear where I stand with her and that Mrs B is her preferred human. But somethings started to soften, she likes my kid so I think she’s decided I’m alright based on that. She’s even started coming to find me for pats.
The bitch of it all? She’s not even my wife’s cat! I’m the one who said “we can’t leave her here! No ones even looking at her! We have to bring her home.” But nope, Mrs b got all the credit and love.Cats: man’s okayest friend.
You're the spare human!
That would 100% be the designation she would give me, yes.
Cops finally got in touch - investigating officer was unaware of the earlier break-ins and you could practically hear her jaw dropping over the phone.
Trainned it down and went to a couple of other OFIs on the same street as well as touching base with the agents who were holding another - places were nice enough but smaller.
Other party put in another bid at the top of the asking range while I was waiting. Agent advised me to wait over the weekend before I make any decisions about another bid. Will sleep on it before I decide whether to make one final bid or drop out of the bidding - even the estate agent who initially said "it'd be a shame to lose the property over $30k" said "it's getting a bit steep.".Shredder bought in 2020 starts acting funny, i email ozito- and they warrantied it! Even as far as 'if bunnings give you issues about refunding have them call this number and we will yell at them'
No idea why I thought it'd be different, but I did my 7 day covid retest and it was instantly positive, like the minute the liquid hit the little thingy.
Really just want the contagious window to end so I can start taking care of myself and leave my bedroom, seven days is a long time to be stuck in a shoebox of a bedroom, even if I can't do much with myself.
I think I've asked this before but anyway I know you like period dramas. Have you watched The Village? It's a true story set in ww1. It's on SBS on demand and it's very good.
Get well soon banana.
That's rough. I hope you're at least feeling a bit better.
I'd say if you're not displaying symptoms but the rats are still + it's probably okay to go for walks in the open air.
Interestingly open air treatment has been around for some time:
You can go outside for a walk surely (weather permitting).
I’m going to the market.
After that, I get to meet Tully the Guide Pup. 😁
Send pics
Sigh
Not giving you enough attention tonight?
A little privacy please!
This humidity is revolting. I just want to feel clean and not sticky.
I read somewhere the humidity is going to hang around until the middle of next week.
Yep. More tropical moisture being sucked down south.
Lemmy is trying to help stop me procrastinating and refusing to let me log in to my Aussie.zone account on the computer. I'm going to show it that my procrastination cannot be stopped so easily and clean out the cat litter tray. The things we do when we should be studying. 🤣
Procrastination achieved, so I'm taking a break from all that tiring procrastination. Cat's litter box has been cleaned out, I did a bit more zucchini wrangling and the cucumber has been introduced to its new climbing frame (a clothes airer I picked up from hard rubbish this morning). My brain really really does not want to focus on this assignment. I was hoping to have a rough draft done by now, but I've barely touched it.
That happened to me yesterday. Clearing the cookies fixed it for me.
I expected it to, but it didn't for some reason. I probably need to do a full clear of everything, but it was not a convenient time so I just left it. ☹️
Is it bourbon, is it whiskey,
Is it rum, hold the cola?
Orange juice with vodka,
(I think it's called "mimosa.")
Sniff and sip an Irish islay,
Hold the ice, I like it straight.
Taste the peat, feel the burn,
Only for whiskey do I yearn.Ooops. Put my head down 'just for a moment' last night and woke up fourish with the lights still on, the front door and various windows open and the tv on.
Ugh... Humidity of 71% makes 21 degrees feel a fair bit hotter. BOM reckons Monday will be a max of 29 and Tuesday will be a max of 30.
I'm so happy that heaps of money was kept from building Australian houses so cheaply so that we may in turn be price gouged for the heating or cooling to make them livable. They really get you coming and going.
Does anyone know of an accurate way to measure actual data usage? The amount Telstra is telling me I'm using is way higher than I think it should be, and is much higher than the total amount my devices are measuring.
At the moment I've disconnected everything from the Telstra modem and am going through the phone as a mobile hotspot. I've recorded the data totals both services are showing me so I can compare the amounts over a few days, then will swap back and do the same. If anyone has a better approach please let me know.
Can you log into the router or modem and see if they've got inbuilt data tracking? Often: https://192.168.0.1 click in a web browser on your home network. Also look on the stickers on the hardware to see if there's a different address. it might also look like 10.0.0.1. It'd be worth checking if there's a network device table in there to make sure you know what each device is.
The modem shows the same data as Telstra - and it also shows how much I have left on my data plan, so either it is sourcing it's data from Telstra or vice versa. It is a 5g modem and has connection info directly on the modem, which includes what devices are logged in. I did find my old iPad was still plugged in and connected, but I turned that off a few days ago with no change, and there are no other unexplained devices.
I initially assumed I had an app or something chewing through extra data (like that time I installed the official Reddit app) but there are no apps showing as using much data and after going through any settings I can find to limit things like auto-play video, changing browsers to Firefox to block adds and trying to minimise time spent in pointless scrolling the data use has gone up not down. My tablet is calculating my usage as generally around 40-60gb a month, and probably close to half of that would be on the work wi-fi. But telstra has me at about 70gb and I can't figure out why.
Obviously it is a low data amount anyway so it's not really a major financial issue, but it is bugging me that it does not match up.
Why is the old kitten fussy?
She didn’t seem to like the flavour of wet food I opened and despite adding yummy toppings doesn’t want to eat it (so is skimping on taking her medicine). I syringed the pain meds into her mouth last night but gave her anti nausea meds today and keep trying to get her to eat the breakfast.
She keeps jumping up on the wardrobe door to demand attention but won’t lead me to anything to show what’s wrong. She’s already done a poo which got scooped away fast, has clean litterboxes, fresh water, the biscuits got shaken to fix the bowl hole she ate into them, wet food right there…
Maybe she’s just bored of the food and feels bad after not having enough of her meds that were mixed in.
She has now patted at me until I let her lie on me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'll share this with youse. I'm sorry 😂
🤭 My neighbour's wife is always on my deck
Just try caulk. Jfc 😂
Classic...NZ Netflix is another good one
Teehee
E: I’m surprised they didn’t include the word ‘six’ in there too. Or maybe that might have been overkill
I've been listening to the 'just ace' podcast. It's a look back at 90s Aus alternative music scene. It's really good - lots of nostalgia but also interesting stuff.
Adding this to the list, cheers! I loved the big day out podcast.
I have the day off and I'm supposed to be writing my assignment. Instead, I've been wasting my time on Facebook getting involved in discussions that involve me rewriting everything about 14 times in an attempt to avoid them tipping over into arguments. I have also hopefully helped bring some people new perspectives and options on FOGO bins, such is the exciting life I lead 🤣
Really was not expecting precipitation today, glad that I left my clothes out overnight and remembered to take them in this morning. Rental inspection just finished, quick and easy, thank goodness, and no questions about the additional blind I installed in the bedroom (which is totally legal).
I did not unfortunately work up the courage to raise the question of how much they're raising the rent by next month, because the whole thought of it was just a bit too much. I did flag that I might be looking to move at the end of the year though, which might not have been smart... anyway... it's over, back to chillaxing.
Rain starting in 7 minutes.
These new forecasts are like something out of Back to the Future.
Forecasts used to be for 3 days and were very general.
And yet we survived, we just let weather happen.
Sky very pretty right now
I've started watching Pachinko and I have never craved a bowl of pure white rice more. Some of the show might be corny and Jimmi Simpson and his butchering of the Japanese language is totally unnecessary, but it's so beautifully shot and such a compelling story of migration and colonisation. I never thought I'd see such mainstream depiction of Zainichi Koreans marketed to the West.
Can someone explain to me why mullets and mullet like hair styles are all the rage with teenagers? Are they mainly doing it to annoy their parents?
So humid.
i ran out of frozen corn and i had planned to get some during my daily evening walk but it looks like it will keep raining and i cannot be bothered to drive out just for a pack of corn
What an upset @[email protected]. The Heat copped a flogging from the Scorchers. Very surprising.
CEO - 11 Duenan - 11
Tonight's match is gonna be good.
Yeah I know. I don’t know what quite happened there, I almost though the Scorchets didn’t score enough until the last over.
To add insult to injury the Heat I think got penalised for not completing a run after crossing over.
Anyway it’s the Melbourne showdown, shame Maxwell is already out.
Should be a good match!
Good game. Looks like the Renegades came up good tonight, can’t see them losing from here.
CEO - 12 Duenan - 11
Rightfully it should be your pick tomorrow because of the swap we made today.
We got the Thunder Vs the Strikers.
Good luck!
Yay we won one.
This one's a hard one but I think I'll stick with the Strikers. Good luck!
