Hi witchy! Let us burn all the fake op shops and unleash the numbats of DOOM. I'll put the kettle on while I darn this ~~cock~~ sock
Now that's a plan!
Today I have misused my executive power to put googly eyes on the shredder.
They all think I'm mad but are too polite to say so.

This week has flown by. Been super busy at work. Miniest got accepted into her choice of secondary school! (Big yay). She's also being allowed on her first school camp ever ๐ณMr P got himself some new false teeth and now has to get used to them. Have been watching one of my personal favourite online communities (Imgur) become enshittified and have been looking for an alternative. There's just nothing quite like it out there, and I had my little community there, but now everyone is scattering. Fuck you medialab ai.
I work with a bloke who I disliked from day 1. Don't know why. Something about him irritated me and I couldn't get past it.
Today I realised why. He looks like Dave Hughes (hope he's okay given his injuries)
Interview done... lasted less than 15 minutes but felt okay. We'll see what happens next.

Sometimes the quick ones are the good ones
Iโm so fucking buzzed off rehearsal last night!!!!!!
Plus I got to play a real drum kit and yeah, the electronic one is great but the real one is fucking amazing.
Apparently Iโm going to the gym today then thatโs me. I have to go and re-setup all my gear from last night so joys of cabling here we go.

Just warning you all that Imgur front page is full of NSFW and boobs as a protest, in case you want to specifically avoid that kind of thing.
It used to be one of my favourite places, but I deleted my account about a week ago. The newish mob that own it turfed out all the old staff and mods and are now "AI first". As a consequence stuffs breaking left right and centre and all the accounts that made it a community have skadaddelled it's gone fully rogue this week but I understand.
I liked the interwebs when it was for cute (non AI and not drugged for ease) animals and fun weirdos.
Yeah the breakdown of notifications was the last straw for a lot of people. It's bad enough that the videos would load, half play and then freeze lol, but I was putting up with that because I loved some of the users. Now they aren't taking uploads from Ukraine. A few have set up discords but I hate the discord format, it's like 100 people talking at once.

I'm not going to the beach today ๐จ
I need skirt weights!
Gym done.
Nap and lunch done.
Just have to re do the cabling (joy of joys lol) and the great zonk can begin.
Tonight it's just practice and video games but tomorrow night I'm heading to an event called:
Divorced Dads Grunge Night lol
Can't wait to see what it's like.
Edit:
You're right Gibson. A 2nd nap is a great idea.

Awesome song ๐ It's regular here.
I love how Merle Haggard was in the audience while in prison and was inspired to walk the line and become a professional musician

Made it down the beach last night. Ended up building the 'puter. No mishaps. Certainly the fastest thing I've ever used.
Ended up going w/ win 11 ltsc. So far so good. No bunch of useless shit on there straight out of the gates.
And it's quiet even at load. Can hear the second hand of the clock in the other room when it's idle lol.
Only hitting 50c after an hour of prime95 which is wild. Obviously didn't bugger the thermal paste.
Now have to reinstall all the audio things which takes for ever.
Currently tossing up whether to build a or buy a prebuilt PC. Current one I'm using I didn't build and it's a bit of a monster put together over a few years with the last upgrades done in 2019. Boyo just nabbed a prebuilt and it's actually a great machine.
My old PC, Athena (yeah I name all my devices), I built, and she was a beast. I'm currently using a pre-built PC (Minerva) as it was just easier than buying PC components and building it myself at the time (one bedroom prison cell in the CBD).
The pre built is a small machine, it's very easy to move around, and runs the vast majority of games I like to play perfectly. It's a bit outdated now (bought in 2020), but it's really good!
I bought it from Tecs Pty on La Trobe St in the CBD. Also got two gaming chairs from them, and wheeling them back to my apartment along city streets is a memory I won't forget ๐๐

my groceries are getting expensive, I notice there have been many price rises of 20-30%
from now on I'm printing out all receipts to keep track
tho looking at my pantry and fridge I am well stocked up , I could probably eat for 2-3 months and only buy some fresh fruit and veg
I prepped a dozen dahl servings for 55c a serve the other day.
I mostly use canola for cooking to spite the seed oil people.
