Did something I've been putting off for a little while and climbed up on a chair to stick cable clip things onto the wall. Since I can't climb under the house, my current solution for whisking ethernet into my room is to run it along the "cornice" as TIL it's called, then using a flat type ethernet cable, running it underneath my bedroom door, then the "architrave" as TIL it's called. I'm not good at cable management, so it's going to be a bit messy

E: nahhh I need a siesta. I'm taking a nap

You're less of a chaotic mess than me 😁

I don't, but I've been with people. I doubt I'd get much value out of a subscription, personally. I don't think it's worthwhile unless you run a business, or have a very large family and the funds to buy gigantic bulk lots of food (and can use it before the use by)

$1.50 hotdogs are probs my standout tbh 😂 They also have cheaper fuel, and they're building a new servo in the west atm, but I keep an eye on petrol spy and it seems like it's routinely beaten on price, so while it's usually the cheapest in the immediate area, it won't be the cheapest if you drive 5-10km away or drive past a cheaper servo in your travels

They used to do a hot chocolate with marshmallows. That was good. Last time I had one was 7 years ago, so I dunno if they're still around and worth it

I know American Costco also allows you discounted medications and glasses/eyecare as well, I don't know if we have that here though

Also, sometimes they put coffins at the front entrance so it's the first thing you see when you walk in. I thought that was funky

I don't really ever put my clothes away. I dress simple and don't have anything fancy, so it just gets washed, put in a basket, then left on top of my dresser or sometimes in the corner of my bedroom. Then I just grab and go

I vote for the dreaded "pot cupboard" next. Some fancy people have pot racks. Us savages just make do with every small pot and pan stacked on top of every larger pot and pan

It worked for Fastway/Aramex

They already put those in the roof. I don't think it's really worthwhile putting them anywhere else because only the bathroom and toilet have any kind of cut out in the roof for the extractor/exhaust fans, so the smell is largely prevented from escaping anywhere else

Ever since toll decided to stop calling themselves toll and start calling themselves the global express team or whatever it is, I've noticed they've gotten a lot worse. I'd never have rated them great, but they used to have pretty detailed tracking, including a live location of the delivery driver (though I think delayed a bit for safety), and we're good with communication. From memory they offered a 2 hour time slot on the deliveries I had as well

Now they just say that the label was created and the job booked, then the next update is just delivered. There is a map but it's pretty useless, because it's just a straight, as the crow flies map from the origin to the destination. Doesn't even snap to the road they'd take, and it doesn't even vaguely suggest a time, or number of stops before you. Useless

Oh, Ted. For shame.

I'm pleased to announce that TheStench™️ seems to have disappeared, or at least subsided enough as to just be non noticeable

My bathroom now just smells like shampoo with an undertone Glen 20 and body wash. Hallelujah!

Did the body become willing?

Haha super kind of you, but don't waste your lovely Saturday on helping me with my silly projects! If anything, this script is largely about helping me become more familiar and comfortable with command line tools and troubleshooting/debugging python scripts.

Eventually I'm sure the extra clicks may get annoying, or something will break in the current flow and the API is the last option, or whatever. When I do, I might very well post up here "hey @indisin you know that time 9 years ago on the 11th of January, 2025, at about 4am when you really wanted to help me with a dumb project? Your offer still stand" 😂

Fun fact: posts from 2023 now show up as "2 years ago", because of upwards rounding, I guess.

We've all been here for 2 year numbers now! Rexxit happened almost 2 years ago!! Cri.key.

Which cat's this?

Honestly it probably already exists, but I just want something that does exactly what I want and no more, and is easy to setup:

I've got a browser extension that extracts all URLs on a webpage and merged them all into a JSON file. I use them for archiving mass amounts of URLs onto the Wayback machine using another utility they have that archives all URLs from a google sheet.

Google sheets doesn't allow importing a JSON file, though. So the python script takes a bunch of little JSON files with a few hundred URLs, then converts that into a CSV file that I can just import into GSheets. It's like 60 lines of code, with a few extra bells and whistles added in for error handling. Very simple

Hah. Reminds me. When I went down the shops the other day, cause the arseholes did that thing they do where they close half the shopping centre and force people to walk around the outside, I had to walk through a bit of a seedy area. Bunch of shopping trolleys full of rubbish and stuff, a few tipped over. Nangs everywhere. A few needles. A few shops and loading docks had what I'd guess were about 4-5 metre tall fences complete with razor wire over the top around their bins

Also chose a bad way to walk back to the bus stop and ended up having to go past a group of 7-8 dodgy looking people who were 100% sizing me up

E: removed a small rant about Brunswick. Probably a bit unpopular here

Love how nobody wants to sleep tonight and we're all still up chatting away! Glad we're all enjoying our first hours of the weekend :)

(Except the mods though. Smh my head. Look at them being responsible, reasonable, smart adults and sleeping at a reasonable hour. Almost 3am and my post still isn't pinned! Bloody responsible early bird people)

My excuse is that I'm badgering GPT for python code to fulfill a niche but simple purpose

I've also been doing a bit of research into the biology behind weight gain/loss, fat storage, ketones, nutritional requirements, etc. funky things, the body. Definitely needs a few big fixes though

Cheeky bugger!

It's a pink song. So what
