    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 😳Mr 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’m 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 I’m going to the gym today then that’s me. I have to go and re-setup all my gear from last night so joys of cabling here we go.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    Imgur was bought by a company called Medialab ai, who sacked all the mods and tech support staff and pumped the site with ads. Edit: some stories that some much loved user/mods were sacked in sudden/nasty ways undeservedly. Some classic and old Imgurians accounts were banned. Posts were arbitrarily removed (ai mods now). Secret Santa was abolished. All NSFW uploads were removed by Medialab to make it more attractive to advertisers. They aren't accepting uploads from accounts which are Ukrainian. Some Imgurians are rebelling against the enshittification, others are just leaving and looking for similar sites elsewhere. There isn't anything quite like Imgur tho.

    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

    same, so many of my purchases are bulk on sale only

    for example, last week I bought 2 x 5kg bags of rice at half price

    even so my costs are through the roof

    after a discussion with husband we are shopping at aldi from now on, this should save at least $400 a month

    Yeah I'm done with Coles and woollies. That's literally double what it was a couple of weeks ago.

    @Gibsonhasafluffybutt @Seagoon_ I have just been thinking the last few shops that prices at Colesworths are getting truly beyond a fucking joke, they had been rising for a while but I'm legit getting sticker shock now. I already shop at Aldi about half the time, but Woolies is the only one with Paul's cream, and no other cream is as good. There's also a handful of things my child appears to need to live that I can't get from Aldi. So I'm stuck doing one shop a week at Woolies 😑

    I’m not having good luck because the Aldis I can get to don’t really have what I can eat or use. Either allergens are included so I can’t buy it, the item isn’t sold, or there’s no generic option.

    I do buy the Trimat unscented laundry sauce which I prefer and stock up on, the sunflower spread seems to be ok to eat, and the Prince deodorant roll on seems to be good. The soy milk is fine. I am able to eat one or two of the lolly bags if I pay what they cost.

    But yeah due to unfortunately having different needs it’s awkward to try and shop there, a lot of my staples just aren’t covered

    woolies on line used to have lists of your past shops with past prices, that way we could incidentally track prices, woolies stopped that, only current prices are listed

    as I said, print outs are the only way

    one example of sky high price increases

    5 years ago a big tin of moro light olive oil was $22, it's now over $65

    Olive oil prices have gone absolutely mad. I try to buy aussie made EVOO when I can anyway. Top quality and generally cheaper than the imported brands.

    the local ones are strong tasting, I just use oil for cooking so want very low olive oil taste

    Have you tried something other than olive oil for cooking? Coconut works well for many things, smoke point is a bit low, but not terrible.

    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 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
