Typical. Women always have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition as men, smdh.

Also I have my flu shot booked due this arvo.

I hope your artwork improves now that you're going to be Artistic.

I've had half a dozen vaccines and I still can't draw for shit :(

For "family reasons" is usually code for getting busted with porn or a mistress for blokes. What did she get busted with?

Todays pupdate:

Poppet and Booboo on this day 4 years ago. Unfortunately both gone since - Boo in 2024, Poppet in 2025 (New Years Eve, yay). I miss those dogs man.

Some of their litter mates are still going strong. On the one hand it sucks because I wanted more puppy time and I'm jelly they got more years.... but on the other hand I'm happy they still get to have their puppies.

Dogs are rad.

Someone check in with any step relatives he has, this smacks of projection

Oh sweet.... Grab us a carton too!

One of every flavour.... double up on the portabello, cherry cheer, and blue lemonade... and triple up on the crow cola, double sars, and creamy soda.

Perfect cheers.

but sadly it doesn’t seem to support my car :(

Fair weight difference between hybrid and BEV... We hit the scales at 2631 KG GVM whereas you're a petite(...) 1970KG.

Meanwhile my first car was.... 655KG lol

That's the repair kit yeah? where you pump some chemical into it to keep it alive?

You can pump some goo in, but I prefer not to out of sympathy for the tyre dudes who have to replace the tyre next time.... And the fact the goo can bugger up your TPMS. So I just use the air pump without the goo.

If I was in the middle of nowhere (more so) I'd give it a go. It's only effective on small holes though. And many EV tyres actually come with a gel coating inside the tyre that offers some protection against minor holes.

I was told that you have to get special EV tyres but my understanding is they don't HAVE to be, you just want ones that have low rolling resistance

They need to meet or exceed the weight rating (which in our case is 99XL: 750KG + stiffer sidewalls), and speed rating (which in our case is V: 240kph).

The other thing EV specific tyres normally aim for are:
• lower rolling resistance,
• harder compound to last longer when dealing with lots of torque,
• uneven ribs so you don't get harmonics,
• usually less rubber so there's less weight,
• inner lining of foam to deaden noise,
• usually a much stiffer sidewall to handle the weight (thus 99XL being common).

The tyres I've gone for are Michelin Primacy 5. Let's see how they go!

Was it for the warmth, or the texture? ♥️🐑

Went to a funeral in Boonah today, and came out to a dead flat tyre. Downside of an EV is they don't come with a spare.

Used the little inflatable doobie and you could hear the air coming out which wasn't ideal. Took a peak and the tyre is like naked in a real skinny little strip right on the inside. Like 20mm wide, canvas the whole way around.

Dammit!

Rears are worn elsewhere but not down to the indicators or anything. Guessing an alignment issue or something? Fronts are in really good nick by comparison which is interesting... Its AWD so it's not like the rears have been doing burnouts or anything.

Anyway we have hopped from service station to service station from Boonah to Ipswich, supplemented with the inflatable tyre doobie.

Now waiting for the one and only tyre in our size in existence (apparently) to be fitted so we can get home. I do mean literally one too - they don't even have a pair which is a bit wtf?

Anyway, WTB - four new tyres.

 

We finally got around to installing our EV charger at work... last week.

I drew up a protective cover which is getting made up and due to arrive... next week.

Guess what happened in between those two points? 😬

 

**In short: **

The government has halved the fuel excise, reducing the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre for three months.

The heavy road user charge will also be reduced to zero for the same period, taking pressure off truck drivers and transport costs.

 

Looks like that's the end of Sendle? Bit of a shame, they were very convenient for sending small parcels. Couriers on the whole are a pain in the proverbial to deal with normally.

Summary:

Last-mile delivery provider FAST Group, formed through the August 2025 merger of Sendle, FirstMile, and ACI Logistix, is currently facing a severe financial crisis that has led its primary private equity backer, Sydney-based Federation Asset Management, to freeze its $100 million investment fund. Just months after the merger intended to create a logistics powerhouse, the entity is reportedly struggling with significant financial red flags and "due diligence lapses" that have brought it to the brink of a potential U.S. bankruptcy filing. The meltdown has raised serious concerns regarding the firm's risk management and the stability of its underlying assets, leaving the future of the e-commerce logistics venture in doubt as it seeks urgent financing to avoid a total collapse.

A very local musician (literally a few suburbs over from me!) who's got a cracker of a country album I reckon. The production is somewhat amateur and his voice can't quite hit a few of the notes he aims for, but it gives it a charm I love. It's the perfect music for hanging out at a local bar, talking crap with your mates, and nodding along with some beaut tracks from a live band.

If you're Australian you'll recognise lots of slang terms in the song.

 

Bleep bloop.

"A 55-year-old man is in a critical condition after suffering severe injuries to his arms and legs when he was mauled by his pet dog inside his Camperdown home. Six ambulance crews rushed to the apartment on Pyrmont Bridge Road about 10am on Monday after reports of the attack. The large dog is one of three that lived inside the home."

 

G'day,

tl;dr - have two unraid servers in geographically independant locations, want to use them as duplicate / redundancy storage of some shares.

  • Unraid server at home, 120TB of storage but only need to sync ~10TB total which is spread over 3 shares.
  • Bare metal Ubuntu server at work, 12TB of storage, but only need to sync ~6TB total over the equivalent of a single share.
  • Have a second Unraid server with 26TB of storage I plan on taking to work. I want to backup my ~10TB from home to work, and my ~6TB from work to home.

Currently have Crashplan running on both ends which keeps up fine with the work data size, but will take literally years to upload home volume as it is so dang slow (~3Mbps, constantly stopping to rescan millions of files) so want something else in place ASAP. Will leave Crashplan running too. It'll catch up eventually.

Home has 400Mbps upload, work has 100Mbps upload so speed shouldn't be the issue.

Is Syncthing the answer? Was thinking of doing a read-only share on the sending end.
