  • Consulting. I’ve done a little bit of it before as an occupational hygiene consultant. In a 2 week period I’d done air quality tests at a sulphuric acid processing plant, noise dosimetry at a bread factory, management system audit at Shell petroleum, and reviewed findings of air quality tests at a building where half the workers were “getting sick all the time”.

    But it’s not consistent work, and if you go into business for yourself; 1- good luck finding the work, and 2- have fun spending months chasing up invoices.

  • Yeah, no trees down for us. We’re lucky that the previous owner of this place had old gum trees removed, the cypress pines are thicker and sturdy.

    Around here if you drive after a windy night you might have to turn around and find another route because of eucalypts fallen across your usual road.

    Only the old clamshell sandpit lid ended up in the paddock, and a few chairs on the verandah went down.

    I see our neighbours were collecting their tarps from our paddock this morning too.

  • I know it’s getting over 100km around Melbourne, but we’re tracking 83km winds where I am in North Central, and it’s always scary.

    We have cypress pines only 10 metres from the house. Well established and solid, but still…

    And I just heard a tree come down a few properties away while I was typing that.

  • I clean mine by soaking in hot water and scrubbing with a nylon bristle dishwashing brush. I don’t have a dishwasher. This is working great, but the key is I’m doing it after every 2nd or 3rd time I use the air fryer.

    It’s a new one, we had to throw our old one out because we didn’t wash it well enough and it gunked up so badly it was almost unusable and started smoking whenever you turned it on.

    I did get the gunk off with thorough scrubbing but it damaged the shit out of the non stick coating, we weren’t gonna risk using it like that.

    Taking real good care of the new one.

  • The Mega Drive had blood off by default and you turned it on with a code.

    The SNES had no blood, it was turned grey to try and look like “sweat” and the fatalities were modified to be less brutal looking.

  • Trying to manage mame roms is ongoing bullshit. On my backup drives I have a mame folder with romsets 0.37b, 0.78, 0.106, 0.139, 0.161, 0.174, 0.251 just so it’s ready to go if I get a device that needs older sets. And I’ve given up long ago on ever having latest mame versions working.

    Curated roms, because I’m not backing up full romsets every time.

  • Not the guy you asked but that is a decent question.

    My hair thinned massively between ages 21-23, and when I was 24 I’d had enough and finished the rest off with a razor.

    21-22 I could get away with it, but by 24 it was ridiculous and nothing could hide it short of always wearing a hat.

  • I’ve made sure I’m good to go, as I always thought the day might come that I can’t afford internet anyway.

    I have my entire gog and itch library downloaded (if I have any steam games not on gog, I’ve pirated them if I can find it). I have my nas full of movies and tv. I listen to all my favourite music on records. Every couple of years I go through and update my rom library to make sure I have the most to to date best known roms.

    Even as much as possible I keep latest version of the Linux iso I might want, and if there is an appimage of my most used programs, it’s there too.

    I’m pretty much ready for my life to become leaner when it comes to internet.
