  • I scoured every shelf of the Altona North Aldi, no dice there. I'll be in Melton from Monday for a week so maybe I'll check them out while I'm around.

    Hmm more fancy you say... so toasted cheese sandwiches with bows and ribbons on them. Got it.

  • Thanks, that makes me feel better about them not having any. I'll keep researching. Canstar has manshake pretty far down the list which I found surprising because it seems fine. Keen to find out what better ones there are though.

  • I googled to find out what the best meal replacement shakes are and canstar strongly recommended Aldi's one. The trouble with Aldi is that you can never be sure you can get what you want there. I just got back from Aldi and sure enough.. nope no sign of them. If I did manage to get some and wanted to use them regularly there'd be a chance they just wouldn't have them the next time I needed some. I'm really really underwhelmed by Aldi in general so this didn't help. I did grab a bag of coffee beans though.

    Meanwhile.. I've invited someone over for dinner next week. Any suggestions on what I should cook? As far as I know there aren't any special dietary requirements but I might actually double check on that.

  • Got home not long ago from my weekend adventure. I’m tired. Here’s a photo from Woolshed Falls from this morning for your viewing pleasure.

  • As wrecked as I've been this week thanks to starting on Wegovy, I've booked myself a room up in Beechworth for tomorrow and it's non-refundable so that will force me out of my apartment. I'll pop into the Billson's brewery tomorrow afternoon and then chill tf out on the room balcony which overlooks some pretty countryside.

    Sunday I'll get up early, go and spend some time looking at Woolshed Falls then drive to Yackandandah and finally see it. I've lined up a place to grab a coffee and breakfast there.

    That's as far as I've gotten. As always plans are subject to change (besides the accommodation) because I'm free to do what I want any old time.

  • Just spotted the reddit daily thread for today and it has a whopping 32 comments. How far it has fallen!

  • I checked Metacritic for that one to see what people are saying. I've never played the game so I wouldn't be offended by any butchering the IP but apparently it's just bad. I think I'll wait for it to be on Netflix or Prime or whatever.

  • The other night I thought "I wonder when Madame Web comes out online, I'm curious to see how bad it is" and then found out that it had been out for a while, I just somehow missed it. Odd considering how often I check recent releases.

    Anyway I tried to watch it and I made it maybe 10 minutes in before I couldn't take it anymore. They were not kidding about it being bad. It has some of the worst acting I've seen since The Room, and I've seen Morbius.

    I'm a big superhero movie/content fan but this will just be one of the very rare superhero things I'll never watch.

  • Another way to look at it is they were storing it for you while you weren’t using them. Some places charge for that.

  • All I have to do is open Binge to get a reminder to never overestimate people

  • Omg I can't express enough how much you should go on adventures. You will not regret it. The world is there to be experienced.

    Sydney is the easier choice and a great milestone if you want to ease into your first solo trip. You could (and probably should) get around without having to think about a hire car. If you haven't been to FNQ or anywhere like it before, it is absolutely gorgeous. Depends on what kind of trip you're after.

    Go Go Go!

  • New toy day! A shame it comes completely dead in the box so you can't even turn it on until it charges for ages. Probably the first product I've ever got which didn't have some charge in it.

  • I recommended to the boss on Tuesday that we should get an Apple Watch to test because our customers will likely have them and use them with our managed Apple devices, so we need to be able to see what managed data is available to them and test policies applicable to their use.

    2 have been ordered and arrive tomorrow :D

    New toyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. That's a MacBook Pro, iPad Air, iPhone and now Apple Watch. I'm collecting Apple products like Pokemans.

  • It sounds like a fine gesture, others have accurately spoken about what the platform is (corporate facebook).

    I killed my LinkedIn years ago because it seemed to just be a place for people to be fake and virtue signal all day to self-promote and I can't STAND that nonsense.

    But I'd just think of it as them wanting to post a news article to the corporate world about how cool he is. Nothing to stress about.

  • I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 a lot. It's my first playthrough, but 3rd time attempting to get into this game.. it's actually sticking this time though and I'm 35% through now. Enjoying it. It's crazy how many hours I've put in and it says I'm only 35% this game is hooooge.

    Anyway the game is absolutely GORGEOUS. Playing on my PC with the graphics almost maxed out and riding around has made me desperately miss America's parks and mountains. I ache to go back there. I don't think we have anything in Australia which directly compares to that place, as unpatriotic as that sounds.

    Also I found out that my tablet runs RDR2 fantastically (it's a stupidly expensive one with it's own discreet graphics card) so I can actually play it in bed too. It's not as gorgeous on that as on my 4k monitor with HDR but it still looks and plays great using my PS5 controller.

  • That's good stuff. My usual purchase would be peanut x 1 and crispy x 1 and mix them together. Have to be in a specific mood to enjoy normal ones otherwise I'd get mixed.

  • Normal, peanut, crispy, mixed or one of the bullshit limited edition flavours?

    (note, there are a couple of good bullshit limited edition flavours but not out at the moment or haven't made it to Australia yet such as dark chocolate raspberry)

  • A couple of their breakfast things were passable but by no means 'good'. Shakes were decent though RIP.

  • Was watching NRL but that's finished now (GO STORM) and was thinking I might fire up Red Dead Redemption 2 because I'm trying again to get into the game
