Already happened in Australia. I can't access NSFW channels, unless I do a face scan (no thanks).

@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

So far yeah. Only really use it to look for coop groups in game, so still doing its job for me right now.

Union fees are also 100% tax deductible in Australia, so it's all a win-win.

Lucky, lucky. I work in Logan, so had the Monday off rather than today. Enjoy the day off.

I check which side my petrol cap is, park up and exit the vehicle. Only to find that I had parked on the wrong side.

I feel your pain here. Fun fact, I think most vehicles now have an arrow next to the fuel icon on the dash that point to which side the fuel cap is on. Has saved me a couple times, and I haven't even gotten a new car in like 7 years or something like that.

Extremely fresh this morning.

Had my first comprehensive eye test today. Only reason I went to get checked was cause I couldn't read something at a distance, but my younger brother said the same thing to him was clear as day.

Verdict is, I am near-sighted. That wasn't the shocking part though, the price for the glasses was the shocking part.

Distracted probably, taking their foot off the brake. Let's be real, probably checking their phone, but could also be fiddling with the climate control or stereo. Also day dreaming could be a culprit.

Or maybe, they want to simulate tailgating the vehicle in front of them.

It is kind of wack. I get 10 cents off a litre (for now) if I fuel up at Ampol. However, the independent servo down the road is already cheaper, even with the 10 cent discount.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Nah, I use them because they were the cheapest energy provider for me. Haven't even bothered using the fuel discount yet.

brisbot's cake day!

Up at 3am for me, and yes, it has gradually gotten colder over the last couple hours. Not as cold as being on a jetty as I can imagine, but still chilly.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Why are you up so early ?

I start work at 5am. Takes me about an hour to wake up and get ready, and then about 30 to 40 minutes to get to work.

And yes, I had the beanie on this morning.

Apart from all those downsides of driving a sedan, I still prefer it way over a big chunky vehicle.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Vans are inherently OP.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Have had a couple people off work the last couple weeks cause of either flu or cold. So must be running around like you said.

Hope you feel better soon mate.

Yeah what the heck?! I didn't sign up for this.

Time to invest in a UPS.

Lost my Chapstick at work yesterday, it fell out of my pocket. All these years and I have never been able to finish one.

0° feels like -1.2°. Yes, BOM I believe that 🥶

Applying for jobs right now. Seeking pay rise right now.

Question for youse guys. Is it worth it to take a step down career wise for a pay rise? My thinking is, a job title is just a job title, and doesn't really reflect on your capabilities as an employee. Yay or nay?

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

And it's cold 🥶

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Yes, my liege.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Just turned the heat pump on. Starting to get a bit chilly.

Also, the electric blanket I got last year was one of the best purchases of my life. And I get to use it for the whole of winter this time, rather then the last couple weeks of winter (like last year).

Hope you are alright mate 👍

I still browse reddit every now and then, but I use the old interface to do it. Makes it a bit more tolerable.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

I love that Middle Rd merging part. /s

Hope old mate wasn't too much of a wanker for you to deal with. Should be an easy insurance win either way.

This video was in recommended feed on YouTube and I ignored based on the title, not realising is was satire. Just watched it now because of you posting here, thanks.

Flu shot is free again this year as well for those wondering.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Read somewhere that the QLD and WA governments are the only ones offering the free Flu shots, but I haven't fact checked/read anymore into it.

Company I work for offers refunds for anyone who has receipt of a Flu shot which is nice. Haven't needed to get the cash back from them for a couple years now though. Always nice when an employer offers an incentive with getting vaccinated.

Hear, hear. Mowed the lawns yesterday and didn't even break a sweat. Fantastic!

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Work health and saftey might think of things differently today, compared to the good ole days 😅

Do you still have that cranky teacher from yesterday?

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

Hate Mondays. Two machines not working first up, and Friday night shift didn't set up for us to be ready to go this morning.

Smoko time now, time to de-stress.

PetulantBandicoot ,
@PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone avatar

The Coalition party probably.

Unlimited NBN is real. I constantly go over 1 TB a month (combined download and upload) with no throttling that I can tell.

Going to have to scull my drink to catch-up.

Had me raising my eyebrows too.
