Sad, I miss some old faces but the community that was I think is dead and fractured. And out of the ashes this one grew. And that’s fine, honestly! I’m just concerned as to how we grow this one so it doesn’t become an echo chamber.
I do miss Reddit sometimes, especially the DT community during lockdown. I regret that some members disappeared or didn't follow. But apparently everyone with a big site wants to be Elon Musk now so yeah :(
This DT is good though, I'm also finding Lemmy a bit calmer.

Eh, they definitely have a wider range of commenters and much more activity in the main sub. There's no doubt that Reddit still has a lot more momentum and it's mostly the same people here in the DT. I don't mind that of course, but I don't think their opinion is that weird...
First time since I moved in I don't have to go tearing off anywhere and can really dig into sorting out the bags and boxes, and hopefully start unpacking the books and putting them on the shelves.
Naturally, I have bugger-all motivation.
::: spoiler because I am complaining about spending money and that's kinda privileged....
I am usually frugal but I when I have to buy things I just put my head down and do it all at once..so this week I have purchased new prescription sunnies, new backpack (good bellroy one that will last forever), bulk foods (cleaning things and flours etc) and then a couple of pretty and good work tops from my fav little shop. And a nice combo card holder and pencil case so I can keep my things together and not forget them (geeky but I ADORE IT).
Feeling a nice dopamine rush and slight panic (I had money aside but still). I am having a beer at hopheads and might buy dinner tonight to cap off a day of running around shopping. I am not going away for long weekend so this so this is kinda my holiday...yeah?
I am very good with money and on top of bills and fortunate in my current job and but I still struggle with buy good stuff that will last forever (or worse buying something new because the forever thing I own actually doesn't do the job anymore) versus make do with nothing. Oh to have a brain that could be happy.
:::
They were 500 bucks because I need multifocals. Could have got the for 450 but I figured 50 buck to make them polarised was worth it. Specsavers has a deal on some of those extras at the moment.
Make room for it all. I like to imagine all these “ghosts” competing for space inside me. If you fight to keep ‘em out you lose anyway, may as well let the emotions have their day.
That sucks so much that they didn't wait for the new mentor to be there. Can you be super busy and away from the house to limit the amount of time alone with him until there's someone there to mediate if needed? Obviously with your stuff locked away in your room.
I've made the commitment this week. Before I can think my way out of it, I've booked and paid for a room up in Echuca/Moama. This means I get to stop in at my favourite bakery in Kyneton on the way for lunch and continue listening to the audiobook I'm getting into (11/22/63). Should be a lovely weekend.
And magpies are crazy smart. I will say "hello Maggie" to the ones in my street when I see them. At my last place I got to the point they would warble back. As long as they see you as a friend they won't swoop.
It's been a sluggish day after a poor sleep last night thanks to too much sake and no food. But I managed to squeeze in some glorious time at one of the best Japanese gardens around and laid down on the turf in a secluded area near closing time with my shoes off and eyes closed. Got a wonderful 30 minutes in. Honestly, lying on grass barefoot does wonders for the body and soul...
Having a lovely treat of vegan Japanese style food for dinner (mainly so I can get some vegetables) at a wonderful, quiet little oasis amongst the concrete, decked out in wood and plants and gentle music. Calming vibes all around.
Tomorrow, I might try to squeeze in a bit more garden time and get some things posted before I schlep it for 5 hours on various trains to get myself to Tokyo. No idea what I'll be doing there for 4 days aside from going to two specific shops. Maybe just wander around with my notebook. Check out a teamLab exhibit maybe, they do some banging shows.
It may be winter, a state of affairs I don't really approve of, but I stewed some rhubarb yesterday and I'm now having it for breakfast with muesli and yoghurt. And tea. And the sun's out.
I might just make it through another few months of this bleakness.
I've tentatively booked Miss Meow in for the vet on Monday. I'm not sure if I can get a lift and am a bit stressed because of the automatic prompt shit with the taxi booking system... I need to speak to a human operator to make double sure they know a cat will be riding as that's caused issues in the past, but the last time I did that it kicked me in circles with the bot 🙄 Normal Uber has consistently refused to take pets.
I've downloaded the taxi app and seen that you can add notes for the driver so if I can't sort a lift I can do that. And the last resort is Pet Uber. (Being as surge pricing can unexpectedly get exorbitant.) If I'm truly fucked we can submit to the ordeal of the bus.
Fuck I wish I had an electric quadbike or something just for things like this.
We've got tickets for Stephen K Amos tonight, he's at the Kingston Arts Centre in Moorabbin. Should be good. Food and drinks somewhere before, maybe the new American BBQ and burger joint Third Wave Cafe if we can get in.
The Third Wave in Albert Park is a great feed. They did get in on the NFT trend a couple of years ago though, if that colours your perception of them at all
So conclusion to yesterday’s mystery. At least shit, I HOPE it is! And again, I’ll throw this behind a nsfw
::: spoiler spoiler
So I couldn’t figure out a polite way to say “hey, I’m sure my brains fucked with anxiety, but you weren’t trying to get me to finish inside the other night, right?”
I feel like German might have the words for that, but English entirely fails. So I came up with a better idea: propose we go again and offer to wear one and see if there are any objections. Genius right? There were no objections. Also no ones yelled in like 48 hours so we might be onto something here.
:::
Alright. I think I’ve shared enough about my bedroom to last us all a life time.
But the reason I stayed up was to share this:
babymetal x electric call boy - ratatata
I only knew one electric callboy song (pump it) and I’ve only vaguely heard of babymetal. And I’m really not into metal, but this song is freaking incredible!!! Do yourself a favour and give it a go even if it doesn’t sound like your thing.
Banger. This is my fav: babymetal x bring me the horizon - kingslayer - https://youtu.be/pAM8MQt6I6I?si=gBQoHRn8aTKYG7cP
There's something about the juxtaposition of the screamo and the kawaii cutesy-ness of babymetal that hits hard
I have a lot of free time currently and have gotten so addicted to this silly mobile game called Lumber Inc (it's essentially a lumber factory simulator). Somebody save me!
When coffee presses were all the rage in the 90s you could get all these awesome flavoured ground coffees. Mint choc coffee is good, almond, vanilla, my fave is caramel.
Unfortunately I wasn’t into coffee back then but there are some awesome blends that cafes do sell online and they haven’t disappointed me yet.
That flavour you mentioned sounds interesting. I usually avoid the nutty variety as sometimes they come across to strong but that sounds like an interesting mix.
I don't blame her. It's fucking dead out here. Peaceful, nice to have a music studio in my house. But it's no longer worth it. I need to be around people.
We talked a lot about it. The young Seagoons loved all the birds, the trees, the proximity to national parks, the night sky. She said no homeless in the streets but lots of suburban poverty and misery.
I was not feeling well yesterday so spent the day binge watching a couple of seasons of a French series, UFOs. It was ejoyable, but a bit odd. A giant mount of super-powered extraterrestial fairy floss is not a plot device you see every day.
I've never made crumpets before but I've had atayef pancakes (middle eastern pancakes) lots of times and they always remind me of a lighter crumpet so maybe have a look at those recipes to get some ideas on how to adjust yours.
Definitely include a tsp of baking soda. This helps the holes form. Also the dough should be just solid enough to stay in the moulds. Cook on one side only until solid as they will be re-toasted before serving. Your recipie should specify this - but if it doesn't and you don't mind a patronising bastard (albeit one that can cook) then this video may help crumpets.
I've brought work's iPad away with me to try and get used to it. I kinda wish the OS they run on it wasn't so basic but it has a nice screen and good speakers!
I’d sooner chop my balls off than go with BoM for ANY product ever again. Ask me how they fucked up so bad we almost missed settlement then sent comms speaking about us as customer as if we pure fucking garbage.

Definitely include a tsp of baking soda. This helps the holes form. Also the dough should be just solid enough to stay in the moulds. Cook on one side only until solid as they will be re-toasted before serving. Your recipie should specify this - but if it doesn't and you don't mind a patronising bastard (albeit one that can cook) then this video may help crumpets.

I've brought work's iPad away with me to try and get used to it. I kinda wish the OS they run on it wasn't so basic but it has a nice screen and good speakers!

I tried connecting an smb to it, and that was fine, but it won't play mkvs....
Duenan@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 2y
I use VLC on it to play mkvs
Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2y
I love VLC, I even pay the guy

I love how you can get 3D printed VLC logos on the side of the road.

Plex with a plex pass is probably the best solution so you can download stuff for offline watch

I’d sooner chop my balls off than go with BoM for ANY product ever again. Ask me how they fucked up so bad we almost missed settlement then sent comms speaking about us as customer as if we pure fucking garbage.

I've got a regular savings acc with Aus Unity for 5.1%. BoM looked to be 4.8% but I didn't check their youth options.

No min deposit that I can see. Looks like 5.2% on 0-$50k.

But yeah, if you want the help with impulse control that's a different issue and ~0.2% is well worth it.
