Just after the controversy with the Launceston Mayor and the Falling In Reverse guy

I preemptively bought more pseudo cold and flu tablets and good thing I did, I'm really feeling it now.

At least I have enough hard drugs to get through the long weekend

My really boring answer to this is go see my financial advisor and get things set up so I can live like I do now but without the work

I think I'll get a big fast SSD for the computer to put Linux on. I might as well find things to claim in the EOFY sales because I've been getting tax bills the last couple of years. Might as well spend and claim

I think the solution is Australia need more public transport so they can work on their manners

As long as it's not too high and scary this might be interesting

That's the sort of thing they're all about, thank you

Decided to book some nights down near the peninsula for the long weekend. There is a dinosaur park and children's farms that should keep the boys busy.

It's meant to be cold and wet, so no big adventures, but its a part of Melbourne so far away we wouldn't bother going down there otherwise because it wouldn't be worth the time

I used to think I was bad at graphic design and creative work, but now I think the problem is Adobe software. After being able to punch things out in GIMP, Inkscape, and Davinci Resolve, I tried to do some basic work in Premiere Pro at work and hit the same walls I did in Photoshop.

Maybe the problem isn't me, it's that the software is laid out like shit. Plus, the workflow for every adobe product is different, whereas there is at least some consistency between entirely separate FOSS equivalents.

She needs to go to the Grove Street barber in San Andreas

I probably wouldn't base anything off US high-speed rail based on the progress in California

I haven't got my morning rain strategy down yet so I drove in today. I'll take it as a leg break and maybe take the analogue bike tomorrow

There's a real frog and nature theme running through his work. I wonder if he's like a biologist or something and just makes harsh noise goregrind on the side

I remember the on the spot fines were so people wouldn't contest fines in court since Myki wasn't sound enough to holdup to legal scrutiny.

The inspectors were just there to scare people into making a quick buck so they wouldn't contest the shaky system the tickets were built on.

Youtube Music suggested an artist called Phyllomedusa to me this morning. At first I was skeptical it was AI as he's put out 6 albums this year alone. He's on Encyclopedia Metallium and has been at it since 2007, consistently putting out multiple albums a year in the 'froggrind' genre, of which I think he's the only member.

It was alright, snare was a little pingy. It makes you feel like you're doing something right if the algorithm recommends something so weird to you. Better than all the regular artists they push on you.

There used to be tram conductors whose job was to help people. The ticket inspectors are just there to collect money

The first ride to work on the new bike went well. I didn't properly record it but it seems like it takes about as long, could be a little bit faster than the regular bike. I also didn't feel sweaty or the need to shower, so there's a massive time saver there as well.

Overall, I think this has been a good move and I'm really happy with it

It looks like the mountain trails near my place might be feasible. I could take the new bike up those trails, cut out some annoying intersections, and hopefully save some time as well.

Either way, the council is working on a park and connecting those trails officially right now, so later in the year there will be this nice public space and more ways to get around

I fixed the smartplug issue. Turns out I had the grinder plugged into it, not the coffee machine. Good thing I figured that out before I had a certified Dad With Technology Moment

There's plenty of options if you want to sus out a decent Z-lib mirror or get on tor to find the official deep web version.

The baseline kobos go pretty cheap too, or you could get a second hand kindle, jailbreak it - which is meant to be really easy, and install KOReader.

That's the eBook app I use on my phone and it's great. The interface is a bit intimidating at first, but it's good once you get used to it
