I wonder how many customers try to exploit this.
Probably a few. They take your name down so if you become a frequent flyer you’d be flagged “on the system”. That’s how it used to be anyway.
I’m finally making use of the Onepass subscription. I didn’t really buy anything in the past 6 months because it felt silly to buy only a couple of dollars worth of things, even with free postage. But I’ve found the Catch bulk groceries again and putting it to use. We might as well have 300 dishwasher tablets
Sort of fucked up yesterday.
Had ‘a go’ at the ol’ man about the way he’s trying to tackle his little fence dispute (on top of everything else). Basically long winded combative emails to the neighbour. Problem is the neighbour appears to have literacy issues judging by the way he writes (so they need to be short and to the point).
Anyway so when you have a go, let’s just say he’s not the sort of person that will take criticism.
So he stood up, calmly said he’s going for a walk. That shit never happens it’s always far more heated.
On the one hand I shouldn’t have done that right now and just let it be, on the other it shows where his head is with respect to mum’s issues. It’s a completely unrelated issue (a fence and medical stuff) but it definitely says something.
I have no idea how to support someone like him emotionally through this (not the fence but mum heh). He’s got a bunch of garden / house shit he’s doing which is his ‘escape’ but I can tell it’s really taking its toll.
Some people need to either get to the point or shut the fuck up in meetings seriously.
get to the point
This I very much agree with.

TIL about the black screen of death, like the blue screen of death but black
attempt 2 at purchasing pokemon X did go well unfortunately, but the ebay seller has been awesome to work with! its like I’m destined to not own this game.
is pokemon fun? I don’t have any games I play and it seems people like it and it gets them out of the house
Honestly? No. If you dont have the original allegiance to it on the gameboy colour I dont think you’d get that much out of it. Im mostly in it for the nostalgia.
There is always Citra if physical copies prove too difficult
yeah I know, I’d rather own it cause I just prefer playing it on the handheld. But damned if Nintendo dont make it hard!
Tech question… If I was to get a mesh wifi setup, would the stock standard Google one be ok? Comes with Mesh router and two extra points… Current setup is router and secondary ap feeding single story house and shed… Wifi is questionable outside and at furthest point from router…
Edit… Or TpLink / Netgear…?
Oh, neat, I’m actually looking into getting a mesh setup at the new house. I settled on TP-Link Deco XE75 Pros. Way overkill for my shitty FTTC connection, but they seem like a decent enough option for my future proofing wishes
Fair warning, if you look on Reddit, literally no brand is good enough for anyone, and they’ll recommend Uniquiti/Cisco corporate grade equipment. Personally, I am only considering TP-Link or Netgear. However, Asus or Amazon Eero also seem like options worth looking at.
I’m avoiding Asus because I bought one of their routers and have had nonstop bad experiences with it. Netgear is on the pricier side and has a few less features at the price point, and apparently has gone down the drain (although my only experience with them was with a NetGear NightHawk 4G router which was amazing, but pricey).
I think TP-Link strikes a good balance of price, and feature set, at the cost of reliability and customer service. Amazons Eero devices seem fine, I am envisioning they’re somewhat similar to iPhones - less feature rich, a bit pricier, but more intuitive to setup, and less prone to breaking. But it’s Amazon, and some core features are locked behind a paywall
I’ve not got any experience with Google Mesh, and didn’t even realise they offered mesh, so can’t offer any feedback about it. But I do own a google pixel and have loved it, do kind of assume their mesh would be similar
Personally, I like value for money, and don’t mind having to fix things every time they break, including with hours of technical tinkering and research if needed, hence why I think TP is the best for my needs.
TL;DR: For you, I’d probably go with Google. Just know that it will probably offer less features, as you’re likely going to pay for the brand name and all the little things and general user experience/ease of use. But that’s my biased, subjective, opinion based on my other experiences with Google
Thanks for the detailed answer. I think it’s between TpLink and Google, and also my bank account.
It’s an AC on dehumidify kind of day. Otherwise, my girlfriend starts training for her new job today, I’m excited to see how it goes
strange question for you, and you dont have to answer: Why the choice of the word “girlfriend” rather than “partner”? I find this kind of stuff fascinating!
it depends what the bf or gf prefers.
Maybe this only kicks in when its marriage level: but I personally go with what annoys her most! That little groan and eye roll she does when i try (and fail) to make her laugh is what fuels me haha
I guess I’m one of those people that finds people who use the word partner annoying. I could use it since we’ve been together for so long and have kids but I find girlfriend feels right to me
interesting. For me I always felt like a teenager saying it once we lived together. shows how everyones different I guess.
I go between boyfriend and partner, depending on the situation. But now that I’m thinking about it, I have no idea what in the situation dictates which I use…
aaaaaaa repointing day todaaaaaay
This weather is actually pretty good for concrete work - doesn’t set up so fast and is therefore stronger when cured.
yeah I was worried after the weekend, pretty stoked when I saw the weather today. It’s all internal stuff today too, place is plumbed and wired so he’s happy as larry
Maybe we should rename it “Not my problem day”
In a way, accurate. Garage needs repointing, the dude is merrily carving away at 60 year old sandpiles as we speak. So it shall no longer be a problem of mine.

point those things at my garage!

Who says I don’t already have those? 😆
Saturday Weather: Is hot
Saturday Me: Let’s spend ALL day working in the yard without so much as a lunch a break, lopping trees and shovelling compost and mulch and taking a massive trailer load of junk to the tip!
Sunday Weather: Is rainy and a bit muggy
Sunday Me: Even though it’s raining, let’s keep going cleaning up more after yesterday’s activities and filling up another trailer load!!!
Today Me: You idiot. Everything hurts. I hate you.
Saturday was an “Orinoco Flow” kind of day, Sunday was an “ain’t no sunshine” kinda day. Today’s a “Cruel Summer” kind of day
Rest up if you can Gregsy, fingers crossed you recover quickly!
(I think I pulled a muscle on Thursday moving a box I put far too many heavy books into but was too stubborn to lighten up on and I’ve only just recovered)
Thanks!! Unfortunately I’m already back at work this morning and it’s gonna be a funnnnn week, but we’ll get there!!
Ha I’ve made that same mistake before… ‘Oh wow look at how many books I can fit in this bad boy, I am a packing genius!!’. Then you go to MOVE the box and ohhhhhhhno :D
small boxes and use a trolley
I blame Tetris. Someone should’ve put a little weight tally up in the corner so everybody knows the downside of being a Tetris whiz
could not get to sleep until late 😣

Up late studying. I can submit the assessment due tomorrow midnight, so that’s all g.
I’ll prolly get extensions for the other two, just so I have some classtime with the teachers so they can check my work. I’m a bit freaked out but also I’ll be okay and I’ll pass; I’m not stupid, I just need some data I can only get from going in, so that’s all g too.
I swear I’m a totally cool cucumber rn 👀😬😅
I wish to emulate this cucumbers coolness

The sleep worked better than expected. Sometimes I struggle a lot sleeping that early. But I managed to doze up about 7:30, woke up briefly at 9ish, then had a solid sleep until 3:30
We’re taking the really really long way to Adelaide, going via Mount Gambier, then driving up along the Vic/SA border through Penola and Naracoorte up to Bordertown, then we’re taking the standard A8 into Adelaide
Nothing specific planned for tomorrow, so we can have a good recovery day. Might head to the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide
It’s a foggy morning out here
I noticed that on the way to work this morning. Have a great trip, look forward to some awesome rail-related pics if you get the chance to post some!!!
