Rain, yeah you can go fuck off now thanks. TRK"s garden has now been watered sufficiently.

Black Mirror was the very first show that I ever binge watched at a friend's place that had Netflix. This was about 8 years ago. I remember the first one I saw was the StarTreck one, Callister ? I was hooked.

Well I must say I had forgotten just how dark they truly are. For some reason I had remembered them as a bit more humorous, my oh my has my memory played tricks on me. I'm not quite halfway through and it's all dark, very dark.

To lighten the mood I watched the Matchbox movie. Hmmmmmm. Did AI write that ? Or a 10 year old perhaps. It killed a couple of hours while I was doing bugger all else on the wet weekend I suppose.

My cold has now lingered for almost 2 weeks which is annoying. I still have a sore throat which is usually the first thing to go.

Hope you stay dry and have a happy Monday.

    Never heard of it. I've just started watching Black Mirror for the second time. It was the first series that I ever binge watched about 7 years ago as my friends had Netflix. It's good because I don't really remember them at this stage.

    Will have a look at Gnomes, even if it's to assess your sanity ;)

    Lol. I can't fathom who the fuck would want one of those things anyway. I mean apparently the recent Tesla's are very decent. Kinda don't wish to associate myself with that C word tho.

    And to hear melon actually saying that those flying cars are to begin production next year actually..........what a fucking Muppet.

    After the orange blobs he's pretty damn close to my most hated living person, if not the actual second. What a time to be alive right.

    In typical Tesla Owners facebook page fashion, screenshots are being reposted about once every minute since the first people started receiving their emails.

    My guilty pleasure is watching those dorks freak out about every stock pump Musk does. I think I came four times during the flying car live stream.

    About 200 metres from home a Roo or Wallaby jumped straight in front of my car. I was doing about 50 kph. Absolutely nothing I could do. I turned around but it had gone. Not even sure what I would have done if it was still there to be honest. I doubt the local wildlife carer would be up and about at 4 am really, not that I know her number anyway I have to admit. I feel terrible., and no it's not about me but it's such a heavy horrible feeling.

    Shit start to the day for both of us, the animal more than me of course.

    You can use something like Revulot to create disposable credit cards, or restricted credit cards that you can enable/disable with the tap of a button in the app.

    I got one (including the physical card in case its required) on the Standard (aka free) plan for use when travelling or buying dodgy shit off the internet. For e.g. I used it to buy a phone plan in NZ, and only activated it for the one transaction. That way if Rocket Mobile had decided to sting me another month after I cancel it wouldnt have worked. They didnt scam me cause NZ people are good people (unlike US people... ) but still.

    I just put $250 on there and will just burn through that eventually. If people try to scam me, at least my losses are limited to $250.

    PS - if you get a Revulot account, use my promo code. I think I get money. Possibly you do too, but more importantly I do.

    A few weeks ago I noticed a couple of withdrawals from my bank account and flagged them. Both from Disney, total about $35. Yesterday I got a notice from my bank asking if a $156 purchase was mine from Paramount. No it isn't, and apparently some attempts from American basketball or baseball had been tried. So they have cancelled my card fair enough, and it will take weeks to resolve with no guarantee that I will get my money back.

    So yeah they cancelled my card but the same card number can still be used on my phone wallet as it works in a different way, weird but thankful. I don't normally use my phone wallet but had it set up anyway. So now I have to change all my direct debit things that are linked to that card which is a bit of a pain.

    This cold is still lingering even the sore throat which is usually the first thing to leave. It's Thursday tho so there's that.

    Edit. Aaaaaand I just went to buy tickets for Lotto and of course that's the bloody card that I usually use, which of course was declined, and those were the winning numbers I tell yah......DOH.

    Damn severe cold. Last Weds a sore throat started, I got home Friday Arvo and went straight to bed. Apart from dragging myself to the IGA on Saturday, I've been there ever since until now. On my way to work and certainly don't feel like it. Still got a mild sore throat. Not happy to be honest. Such is life.

    Nice one brother, natives are great. Also good to see whats endemic to your island and plant a shitload of that.

    Doing our part to reverse a little of the habitat loss from housing... if only a tiny fraction.

    Bit of a wet one lads.

    Good for my plants we stuck in the ground last weekend.... some of which Schnitzel happily pulled back out of the ground, and took for a walk around the yard. They are now replanted and fences added.
