Oh man, I unleashed on the broom rider (MIL) last night. An awkward start to the long weekend.
broom rider
Shouldn’t laugh but lol. Seems like easter is just one of those times of the year that gets tense for some reason.
so many hugs, she must have pushed you beyond endurance
Sometimes people need to realise that they’re being dicks.
they already know
They need to hear it from someone else.
So many people don’t stand up to their MILs/FILs. As a kid, my mum always used to complain to my sister and I about things her MIL would say or do, and my dad would either stick up for his mum, or pretend that nothing was wrong.
Thank you. It was something I really needed to get off my chest. Maybe not the best time to do that during a family gathering though.
Had ‘his’ first mate over. Vomit before 9. Yeah, cheers thanks a lot.
That’s awful but this calls for a rave choon
🤣
Fucking lightweights.
But seriously, that’s very poor form and childish.
Hope they’re ashamed.
Amateur
Charming, make them clean it up.
Putting a heap of things through the mulcher… MUNCH…
The only thing going through my head is
How’s it going with the party house?
Suspiciously quiet!
received an order to revive a man from death, due monday. they are willing to pay public holiday and express rate. gonna need a lot of eggs to restore the tissues. also a team of rabbits taking turns to hop on the heart.

Sorry. Dropped one
Ate the dropped one for lunch. Thank you.
Got to talk to my 2 best friends I haven’t seen in 12 years on video chat.
It’s a long story, but man I feel so fucking happy right now ❤️
Wholesome as!
Goodnight and build on that happiness tomorrow.
this is wonderful 🥲🥲🥲
eee found the water leak.
Wasn’t me but the neighbour saw it thank fuck it wasn’t under the slab.
I think I prefer the mornings to the late evenings.
Have been crashing fairly early the last 2 nights despite being able to stay up late.
Halfway through Animal Kingdom S2 so far. Idk, it’s not terrible by far but it’s not really gripping my attention much either, I fast forward through all the alpha male stuff. I like Shawn Hatosy though and everyone says he does great in all 5 seasons so I guess I’ll keep going
E: also I’m so over this heat, it’s driving me mad. Literally the only silver lining being that there’s less acclimatisation needed for my upcoming trip.
sunrise very pretty 🌞
woke up wondering if I put the bins out wrongly, I had 😐 fixed now
I thought to just download my OneDrive files onto my computer, back them up and unlink my pc so it couldn’t fill that storage back up again. Well downloading my stuff isn’t working. They download as zip files that only contain error and .txt.
I’m also now being told I can’t send or receive emails because I’m over storage and have to pay for more - recurring subscription of course.
It’s so very convenient that they force your files onto their cloud (removing them from your computer) and then somehow the process of getting them back is obstructive. Really slimy.
I may end up having to pay to get to the task later but this is making me seriously reconsider Windows.
Microsoft prey on fear uncertainty and doubt. Also on compatibility between organisations. The only reason I don’t walk for Linux is 1. I want to make sure I have everything first and 2. because I’m not confident of being able to reliably make everything work as I need it to.
What was the size of the zip file that you downloaded?
Try downloading a smaller directory or file and see if you can open it.
I made repeated attempts so - 69kb, then 1.2kb. Probably too large.
Some other guy was complaining about this so I began manually downloading - and then saw that I could ctrl-a and copy the contents of the OneDrive folder to paste it into a new folder. Once I think I have everything I’m unlinking.
Ok, not sure how you’re doing it but if you’re able to get your files back that way then that’s fine.
If using the zip method you need to use smaller sizes like maybe 1gig but test it out first and make sure it works.
Cheers, thanks :)
Not sure what your arrangement is, but in windows with one drive, in explorer you can select the files and folders you want, right click, and select ‘always keep on this device”. This means you have a local copy in addition to the onedrive copy.
@melbaboutown @YarraByte in the process of DeGoogling and it’s similar. Though so far I’m only partway through Photos. It was always the intention to bait and switch and capture financially once the difficulty of leaving became extreme. I was always aware of Facebook which seemed blatant to me: Google and M$ actually more subtle.
Agreed… We are the product. But Meta are now doing things I never could have imagined when I signed up. They scraped all of the user data and pictures for AI and Australian users didn’t get to opt out.
Agreed about Microsoft being more subtle. It kind of crept up on me.
Oh man… I want to de google but I’m absolutely drowning at the moment and barely managing life admin let alone a mammoth task like that.
I still have to go through my Facebook to make sure I get everything before I deactivate or delete with the under 16 ban (because I’m not giving Meta or other platforms my id). And because the download doesn’t work I have to do it manually.
My respect goes out to people who are able to stay on top of all this
@melbaboutown I am glad I don’t have to think about FB as have never given them my data. I need to anonymise on several services to at least try and thwart the AI feeding frenzy, though I’m rarely active anywhere except on Fedi these days. But I need to move Gmail as well. It’s more than many people are even equipped to try, sadly.
Yeah I regret. And it’s probably more than I’ll ever be able to attempt.
Right now I just need to get my stuff backed up to physical media in time and make sure I can continue to use my main email.
@melbaboutown yeah when you realise “the cloud” is just other people’s computers and “free” SM & other lockin has always been designed from the outset to bait & switch and basically enslave you it makes you realise the real costs of not being free and open. I remember when I genuinely believed Google was a force for good.
I’m picking up an armchair for free from Marketplace this morning. Similar style wood frame to my couch, and with a new cover with the same fabric I’ve been recovering mine in it should blend in fairly well. This will solve an issue in furniture placement in the new place, I will be able to have the couch and a single chair in the dining/lounge, and two chairs in the sewing/sitting room. Or if something goes wrong and I don’t end up getting this place I’ll have an extra chair I don’t have room for 🤣
I think I’ll sell my buffet unit. It’s a really good solid piece of furniture that makes me feel like I should find it a place, but it really doesn’t fit anywhere. Plus it is really heavy and because it is so long has limited options on where in a house it can go. Which makes it hard to get out too, it has to go out the back and out the side gate, which means I would have to lock away Mr Woof, traumatise Miss Meow and let a stranger into the main area of my house. I might just get the movers to put it in the carport when I move, then I can sell it as unattended pickup.
My teeth hurt. Visitors lined up two days in a row. Hoping I can avoid saying something crushingly stupid to the recently bereaved one.
It’s Friday, I’ve been helldiving with mates, had a few whiskeys, and it’s Easter with the family & egg hunt with the kids shortly. Things could be much worse than this.
Is that game still alive?
Surprisingly yes. We went off for a few months of Factorio space age, but it’s still going and a nice level of jump-in-and play that suits us. Mind you we have nothing to spend out resources on and only missing 3 warbonds, it’s just a nice gameplay loop
Yeah. I have a few rounds weekly, usually quickplay with random people.
wait it is risen not rinse?
Jesus was at the onsen?
Full immersion baptism is a thing. Mostly for adults converting. Refer St John the Baptist. Rinse is the same only different. Refer vegetables and washing machines. Then there’s the tricky question of the mikveh.
