Made a delicious soup for dinner. Iโ€™m liking these warm days and cool nights.

Spent a while putting away laundry that had piled up today. Whilst not my preferred way to spend a day off, it was a few hours not looking at a screen and it was nice to do a task like that without the sense I needed to get it done as soon as possible because I had something else I had to be doing.

I like to have a drink and listen to music while folding the washing, but I also sometimes don't do it for a couple of weeks.

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago

I do the laundry in front of the tv, itโ€™s less of a chore that way.

All the seeds have been successfully planted. Fingers crossed for some decent germination. I'll have a couple more beds available once the tomatoes finish.

Have just done my now annual interview with Peter Mac to see if I'm still alive. Apparently I am. Coulda fooled me after last week's snotfest. But good to know.

Well done for being alive! Cancer is crap. So good that our health system looks after people with world class treatment including follow ups.

Back in melbs. bit of a packed vline but no one sat next to me (again). I must be ugleee.

Your hair is too fabulous for anyone to approach, clearly.

Did you remember the deodorant this morning? ๐Ÿค”

Word on the street is you're the weird guy on the roof.

Recommend taking the teddy bear, the roll of duct tape and the copy of 101 Things A Boy Can Do out of the basket and putting them in a properly zipped up backpack, where casual passersby can't see them.

After a month of LG giving me the run around on a repair to my vacuum cleaner I went back via Harvey Norman and had the issue fixed in a couple of minutes. I am finally able to get back to a proper cleaning schedule. It is frustrating that so many big companies now have such abysmal customer service.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago

just back from my doc

I've lost the weight ๐Ÿ‘should take some calcium

have very mild surface veins in my legs, maybe wear some high elastic socks

apparently I'm really healthy and have good joints, just have to do some extra weight training for my legs

I feel like an idiot but in a good way

OneNote keeps crashing so I cleared the cache. Bad idea. Turns out my notes from undergrad may not have a local copy saved, so they might be gone. At least my undergrad was kind of useless.

Whittaker's banana caramel is the absolute bomb

I'm gonna need to try this!

Facebook is fucking trash. Spent last night mitigating an attempt by bad actors to access my account. I almost fell for it too.

Deleted my Instagram account, which will take effect next month, and am now trying to figure out how to get rid of my Facebook without losing the fam chat. It's been impossible to get them to move platforms, even though dad and I are in agreement that we don't want a FB account anymore.

I think I'll scrub as much of my personal data as possible and deactivate it. At least until the fam moves platforms.

I hate social media

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Iโ€™m not sure but I think you can deactivate FB while keeping the messenger app? Sorry that I canโ€™t offer better info and Iโ€™m sorry this is happening

Edit: From the other place

Of course one of the more relevant answers about keeping chat history is deletedโ€ฆ but thereโ€™s at least some discussion in there.

I also hate social media and technology

Iโ€™m trying to work out how worried to be at some rando using one of my emails for their instagram (Iโ€™ve changed the password on seeing that and checked logins). Wondering if I should go delete their account. Seeing as I canโ€™t make them use their own email.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's just annoying that i only access FB when something like this happens, it's just another chore. I haven't really looked into my options yet but I'll check that thread out thank youuu!

Re your email and insta, you might be able to access that insta account and take ownership (2fa and whatnot), then deactivate it. That way you will get notified if they try to access and activate it again

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah, itโ€™s such a hassle. Increasingly getting forced into social media to stay in touch with people and then having to constantly defend the accounts when theyโ€™re compromisedโ€ฆ

Hmm. I could try but from the other place a lot of these things werenโ€™t successful :/ Good one Metaโ€ฆ https://www.reddit.com/r/phishing/comments/1dhbp60/help_someone_used_my_email_on_instagram_and_im/

If I was smart Iโ€™d make a different email for myself and then nuke that old one. It just involves lots of changing things and authenticating for each account to switch them outโ€ฆ I ask you why couldnโ€™t they have had that level of vigilant checking when someone used my email ๐Ÿคจ

I would love to get rid of instagram, but it's the only way I find out about gigs coming up

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago

For that I've signed up for emails from just about every venue and touring company I like. There's also Bandsintown

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Blood test done. Didn't pass out in the chair like the last one I had. And it was next to the cafe I went to yesterday so I was able to do take 2 on the bacon and egg wrap. Yep, a bit of barbecue sauce fixes the dryness and adds some nice zing

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago

cold nearly over

It's been a tough one

[โ€“] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 0 points 5 days ago

New playlist Synthwave Outrun is the fucking bomb. Just need to switch to running at night through a deserted neon cityscape.

Gotta go to the place where everybody knows your name. The chemist.

It's the part of the theme song from Cheers the tv show.

Another glorious looking day out there today. Which is good, because I have lots of gardening planned. I sorted out my seeds & did a bit of garden bed prep yesterday, so today will be seed planting day. A variety of onions, root vegetables, brassicas, plus some lettuce and herbs.
