O Yarrabyte, Yarrabyte, whence art thou Yarrabyte?
Denied thy Briongloid and refused thy calling.
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my request
And Iโll no longer be a Spudtato.

Fingers crossed
Its her winter fur....
Iโll pass on the message lol
That's great about your sleep. I've heard meds can interfere if you take them at the wrong time
Thanks man. Itโs been brutal the last 18 months. Hopefully this is it.
farken google sheets keeps shitting up my work screen suggesting I add pizzaz with tables!
Why donโt they take some of that AI they keep stuffing everywhere, get it to look at the data, realise itโs not table data and then shove it up their arseholes sideways
I drink my coffee too slow while working so it always end up cold before I finish it and have to microwave it to be warm again. It's a shameful habit but I can't seem to drink it faster. I remember at my last job, others would guzzle their coffee like it was water. I'm a sip, forget and sip again type person.
same, don't worry about it, I don't, it's my coffee and I'm the one drinking it, not them
Same problem here.
One thing that might help is getting a coffee cup with a lid on it to keep it warm/hot for longer.

Whenever I have a joint, I don't get the munchies. I can see how you can, I just don't feel the need to. Is there something wrong with me?
I remember one of the first joints I had after a few bevvies, got munchies, got an ice cream pizza. That didn't end well.
Beer then grass you're on your arse, grass then beer you're in the clear!
Wtf is an icecream pizza?
Even on its own I just drink water.
Wtf is an icecream pizza
It's an abomination and a mistake.

I don't get the munchies either, never have.
The smell of food triggers me. Like when something is baking like a roast so maybe that's it.
When I first started smoking weed I used to get the munchies bad. Eat until I was sick sometimes, my smoking friends were the same and we all enabled each other. It doesn't help that certain foods taste great when you're baked. Then came a time the craving for food just stopped completely and it doesn't happen anymore (although I rarely smoke these days).
Old age.
I just smoke occasionally for medicinal purposes.
I've been noticing a lot of billboard ads from banks about scam and fraud prevention. I wonder if there's a new wave of paranoia about these things from AI because there seems to be more than usual
it might not be more fraud just that banks are being made to share responsibility and cost
My company (finance ish) is about to switch MFA from opt-in to opt-out (on by default) for our customers to help protect from scams
MFA saved me yesterday, someone managed to log into my bank account but MFA was active through my app and prevented the login access.
So lucky it was in place or I would have been screwed.
Anyway password has been changed and precautions taken.
this milk allergy is making me utterly miserable, the meal replacement shakes , while so good for dieting just do not agree with me so I stopped , and then I had bread which had milk in it, the olive spread had milk, so that made me flare up again
I am going to have read labels carefully
in the meantime, to cheer myself up I;m going to make some olive bread, it's delicious and I know it will have no dairy ๐ธ
Right there with you. I miss dairy so much.
If you wanted suggestions
Nuttelex is the gold standard dairy free margarine but for cheap bulk option the Coles โregular spreadโ is also pretty safe for me. You can also do as Italians do and dip the bread in olive oil.
There is plant based protein powder from Natureโs Way but I donโt know if they still sell the unflavoured variety (which I preferred since it doesnโt contain artificial sweeteners) and it doesnโt have any added vitamins or anything. I know they do have flavoured varieties like strawberry or chocolate.
Bulk Nutrients probably has vegan meal shake options but from what I remember my other intolerances precluded them so I donโt have any specific options to recommend
thank you so much ๐ญ

Bubs has a uti and is having sneezing fits. Back to the vet! I also need to get one of her meds compounded so I can make her take it.
hugs
Something I didn't anticipate when I stopped taking suboxone, was that there would be days where I was neither happy nor sad.
Just.. Neutral.
It's an alien feeling.

Movie review
Aguirre Wrath of God. Werner Herzog. Rewatch also read an essay about it.
Very beautiful movie. Filmed on location in the Amazon jungle. Compelling story of violence and survival. Werner survived Klaus.
Nihilist to the extreme. What was the point, success is nothing , failure is nothing.
The point is if there is no point then live well and see the beauty,
Book reports. ๐ Two little books about New Zealand I bought on holiday. Kiwis and Moas and New Zealand Tress and Ferns. Who knew kiwis were so aggressive! Moas are huge. Both were tasty. The trees and ferns are all very pretty. Opinion that NZ is to Australia what Australia is to the world confirmed, it's a very weird and pretty place with unique plants and animals.
Didnโt one of the locals offer to bump off Klaus because he was being so awful? (Or maybe that was Werner, I canโt remember). Itโs a trip of a movie!
everyone wanted to bump him off ...lol
At what point do I get worried my neighbour (whose name I don't even know) isn't on a long holiday and make a welfare call?
If theyโre someone you usually see getting about regularly and you havenโt for a while, you could always call the non-emergency line and see what they think
Trying to not become known as the local curtain twitching nutter. Maybe she does this every year or two? Argh.
To become the local curtain twitching nutter (CTN) you need to be calling in repeatedly, probably for multiple neighbours. A real CTN calls 000 weekly as a minimum, but if you are properly commited to it requires multiple calls a day.

If you are worried enough to ask the question here you're worried enough to make a welfare call.
Call it through to police on 000 - it might not seem like enough of an "emergency", but it is something that gets organised via 000. Don't worry you are wasting police time, they do a lot of welfare checks and there is almost never something actually wrong, but some of the time someone has fallen and is lying on the floor in desperate need of help and organising the check saves their life.
Go knock on the door and explain that you were worried as you hadn't seen them in a while.
This is the way. If you know any of the other neighbours you could ask if they know anything. If no explanation, then proceed to calling for welfare check.

Windy.
My security camera alerted me to a cardboard box crossing my driveway, and on our walk we followed a couch cushion blowing down the footpath. I also have a new collection of rubbish blown into the corner of my yard where it tends to gather (fortuitously it is the corner I keep the rubbish bins in).
