No one likes a show off 🥲

We remove half a garbage bag (probably the equivalent of a full to the brim shopping bag) every night from our back yard.

Downside of way too many dams around with people who straight up don’t give a fuck about the environment.

I thought we were going to get some nice rain to cool things off, but nope… just the occasional sprinkle followed by beaming sun to ensure its both hot AND stinky humid. Thanks, BNE weather.

Seriously considering that move to NZ…

Why test when you can fix!

I’m one of those people who do CLI edits on the live server via ssh so yeah, sometimes these things happen. Probably more frequently than they should.

I accidentally deleted my music directory during a filename tweak (pro tip: check your regex, but also check that the field you’re pasting it in to doesnt automatically add backslashes…) so I decided to “quickly” set Lidarr+slskd up again and let it roll. Turns out it took a bit longer than I thought and that’s why I had <4 hours sleep last night.

On the plus side, lidarrr+slskd is working real nice and stripping out vinyl releases correctly now. So there’s that.

RIP my ISP, again. 65,000 tracks inbound.

Are you getting forecasts from Higgins? That seems excessive

I’m getting way lower temp estimates… And I definitely like mine more cause a bit of a shower is way preferable to 41 degrees. That’s well beyond reasonable.

“Heritage-listed” is just shorthand for “fire liability until developer gets their way”.

1, 2, Tokyo Drift, … 6??

You’re missing a few, unless I’ve forgotten how to count

EDIT: Available on Plex if you want them!

There is one benefit to not stopping over the Christmas period… and thats the schadenfreude of watching the pain of all the people who did take time off as they struggle to return.

We did technically stop this year (first time in… some decades) so I’ve now got to experience both sides. I think I actually prefer to work through and then take a break at some other part of the year when noone else is so you get to experience full relaxation instead of all the non-work places being super busy.

That’s some vintage memeing

Yeah, I did the same. I’m sure there’s a great reason for it, but it’s obnoxious and I cbf translating it.

Washed out the birdbath and added an undergravel filter on a solar air pump to try and keep it fresh for longer.

It’s hot out there so gotta keep the birdies hydrated

The irony of saying people should have planned ahead, given the handling of the Olympics preparation (or lack of).

Todays pupdate:
Schnitzel squishy face

Back when KFC had flavour.

I swear at some point in the 90s they stopped putting any sort of herbs in their chook. It went from having flavour, to just smelling of the flavour you remembered.

Rip in peace

Work sucks, I want to be on holiday again.

Today’s pupdate:
Schnitzel looking like a cute little puppy

Urgh, so stupid.

Totally, the Christmas / New Year twilight zone went way too quickly time around.

The only silver lining is that we’ve got a bit of time before school goes back and a lot of office workers are still on leave so there’ll be a bit of quiet traffic at first.

UP to US standards?

My dude, they are already well above US standards.
