Yeah, someone else offered an explanation that made more sense and I think I was definitely wrong on the internet. Which is annoying because normally I’m the one being really picky about sources and reading comprehension.
All I can say is that I haven’t been sleeping and have been vomiting today. The past few days have been rough so I wasn’t thinking too clearly when trying to get something that seemed important out there.
Also I’m a bit defensive (when normally more chill) because others have been stirring me up. 😑
just hugs
Any recommendations for lunch in Woodend? Four adults two kids.
Pub on main drag. Very good counter lunch the last time I went there. Some interesting menu items as well as the usual.
Thanks but is that the Holgate or The Vic Hotel?
Can’t remember off the top of my head, but it’s the red brick one just as you arrive from Melbourne. Big terrace out the front with outdoor seating.
Holgate has good food. There’s also Super Lekker, had that last time I was there. But there’s only outdoor seating so needs to be a nice day.
Ah man, I’m getting nitpicked over a news title when the site wouldn’t offer a suggested one for the link.
Like damn dudes, I don’t perfectly understand something that doesn’t apply to me. But I do know a law changing that could invalidate a lot of drivers licenses overnight might be something people should know about? Preferably before they get pulled over?
If I made a small mistake in the title they can go read the article that will tell them the exact info.
Lemmy overall has a bunch of nitpicky nerds who’ll go overboard on any error they find.
Imagine going through life looking at everything to try to find the imperfections. Life must really suck for those people. There is enough bad stuff in the world without giong out of your way looking for more.
I wouldn’t worry about their nitpicking - let them make their own life worse with their obsessive search for flaws, leave them to it and don’t let them drag you down.
they look for imperfection in other people
It’s… May isn’t it?
it’s 2025 😭
i’m still catching up on 1995
Yup…all month
But how?
The best part about going back to classes is the coffee from the cafe next to the bus stop ☕
Their largest are actually L A R G E
Everytime I hear beef Wellington I get a little excited. If I was to make individual ones I’d use filo pastry not puff and slather that baby with melted butter. 😋
Hold the mushrooms please.
They’re a must.
Well ok but as long as they’re served on all the same coloured plates.
It’s my “special” dinner. I’ll serve them how I like.
you dont like them sauted in butter?
Not if they’re death caps.
Love mushrooms but was giving them the side-eye for quite a while after that story broke
They were so cheap after the story broke and deemed safe. I was snapping those up quick.
Looking for recommendations on both power tools and security cameras. My tools were Ryobi which I liked their reciprocating saw and blower but the mower wasn’t great. I had a good experience with Ozito multitool, and been told apparently bunnings will take them back no questions asked. Open to any recommendations but budgets gonna be fairly tight since i’m starting over and want to spend money on cameras. On that note: Anyone had any installed? Things they liked, things they don’t or installers that were good to work with?
I don’t know about gardening tools but my man has Bosch for the tools he uses all the time and the ones used occasionally he uses aldi ones.
Ozito are pretty good now, I have a mix of them and ryobi. My ozitos are corded though jsyk.
apparently electric mowers have issues if you grow anything like kikuyu or couch, wouldn’t know for certain as we still have the ol’ victa
I think I have used every power tool brand and usually go with Makita due to the consistency, durability, great batteries and a vast range of power tools on offer. (even coffee makers and microwaves haha!)
They are are a little more expensive though so maybe not a good choice for you.?
Ryobi is probably your best bet as it is an affordable option for DIY. I have used Ryobi in a professional setting as well and the only drawback is the battery life isn’t great so more batteries are required to keep going on jobs. (if you are worried about the lawnmower, I would suggest a good petrol power Honda or Victa anyway.)
Also check out Metabo (formerly Hitachi) they are priced competitively, durable and have a flexi volt system in which you can run them corded or on just batteries. I own a couple of their drills and they have served me well.
Hope that helps.
Victa
I think my victa push mower is about 30yrs old with minimal servicing lol. Just keeps going.
Yes! My Victa is about 20 years old. They indestructible (with regular maintenance of course)
got followed by norman bates yesterday
weird frickin bloke talked to me when i was in the op shop to buy cds, ( i do not talk to strange blokes ) he said he liked the mannequins in the window because they don’t talk or spend money ( he likes dead women?! )
i ignored him
after a few more stops shopping I went to the train station to go home and sat on a bench on the platform, he walked past 30 seconds leter and spoke to me , i tried to ignore him again
the odd thing is he went right to end of the platform and then left the station, 🤔
Ew
I’m just wondering if I should have done something
i did check to see if he was boarding my train , he didn’t but what if he was?
should I get off at a busy station with more people around and press one of those help buttons?
forgot to say he called women " you ladies" , iow words he “others women”
Safety in numbers is definitely the best option.
Fuck this world where women and the vulnerable have to be on high alert just to go about our business.
Thanks for the support. 🙂
Safety in numbers, yes, this is the first time in nearly 30 years I haven’t lived in a very busy area, not used to it yet.
I don’t like that I didn’t automatically know what to do in this situation.
But now I have thought about it, got some advice and have a plan in my head of what to do in case something similar happens.
The new theory is to be loud and draw attention from bystanders to them. I’m not sure how comfortable I’d be with that though.
Keeping my distance whilst keeping an eye on the suspect is generally what I do.

Why is going to Chemist Warehouse such a stressful experience? Narrow isles with too many people, long waits for prescriptions and then waiting in a line to collect them. Then another line to pay. Or maybe my local is just a bad one. This place is a time suck.
Think they’re all like that… I hate going there for that reason
They stuffed up the OHs scripts yesterday. Same name, very different address. Didn’t notice till we got home, but it does make you query the efficacy and safety of their systems.
It is a stuff up, but same name is pretty uncommon, and there’s some level of due diligence on your part to check the medication at the store.
The medication is right. The address on the repeat scripts is wrong, but it’s right on the initial prescription.
Oh, that is indeed odd.
I’ve got 3 of them near me, 1 of them are really packed, another one did some renos and have a bit more space now and the other one in a warehouse like place has plenty of space, I like to go to that one if I can because it’s less squished.
I really hate all their fluro tags. Not really special if everything has a tag like that.
And just the amount of different ads and videos playing everywhere, it’s awful.
The need to fluro ticket everything shits me.
Most of the ones I’ve been to are like that. The less terrible ones are the ones with more space like the High St Northcote shop.
Science week. Can you guess them all?
Marie curie, Rosalind franklin, Pythagoras, newton, Edison, Einstein, Tesla, Darwin
Bingo
Umm, Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie, Pythagoras, Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, Einstein, Nikolai Tesla and the last one’s a blank.
Top left to right, Curie, Rosalind Franklin, Archimedes, Newton, Edison, Einstein, Tesla, Darwin.
7/8
Marie curie, Rosalind Franklin, pythagoras, newton, edison, einstein, tesla,…darwin?
I wasn’t sure if it was Curie or Anna Roentgen considering it was her hand that was the first X-ray
Today in one of the classes I observed, I heard some young people talking about how silly the Clive Palmer ads are. The thing I love about being in schools is that there are brilliant young minds and many of them can think critically and consider multiple perspectives. The other thing is that school can act as a protective measure against being an asshole in some aspects. A kid said something inappropriate to get a kick out of his mates and the teacher chatted to them about why he said it and why it was the wrong thing to say.
I don’t think the kids are really enjoying my lessons right now, and I guess that’s kind of sad, but okay. I had some teachers in school who made me enjoy some subjects I didn’t love (e.g. had a teacher who taught history through storytelling, English through lots of modelling and active learning, maths through linking it to the universe). Maybe I’m not that right now, but one day I could be.
Another thing is that with kids who have been through trauma, you can potentially be someone who is a stable and trustworthy adult in their lives and show them what a safe relationship looks like. Again, those are VERY big shoes to fill, but I aspire to be someone who supports and advises young people to reach their potential.
I taught a liver function class to 12 sleeping students one time. It was dry content, they didn’t need to know it, it was on the syllabus or the exam.
Not sure if anyone’s interested in looking at this.
I’ve been playing Expedition 33 and just beat a tough optional boss. It’s a new rpg with an outstanding soundtracked vision and needs some good reflexes.
It’s in 2 parts because I had to take a phone call.
Have fun if you decide to have a look at it.
it has some really beautiful art and the music is pretty cool
i have loads of b’day and xmas money still
and i have a really good gamer laptop
i’m thinking about it 🤔🙂
I don’t know how it’ll handle over on the pc side as I got the ps5 version.
The music is outstanding and I love it so much, and the setting and so far where I’m at with the story is so great.
I’m playing on standard difficulty, it needs pretty precise timing to get parries to work but there’s dodging if parries don’t quite work out.
It can be made easier by lowering the difficulty and some little things can be turned off like the QuickTime button presses.
My little boss battle almost falls apart at the end of the part 2 video.
I haven’t played games like this for a long time, ( tho i was a very early partaker of games and even used to do the pictures and code some )
i’m careful with money is all
all i have is a asus gamer pc 🙂
Well it’s not going anywhere so you have plenty of time to make sure of things and also could always wait for a decent discount as well.
This game looks soooo good, think I’m going to have to nab it. Will probably play on the lowest difficulty, but stuff like this is so cool to see. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you liked it!
Wasn’t quite sure about sharing but I was recording it for someone else as well.
I can now poorly pluck Aura Lea on the acoustic guitar. Slowly I’m learning haha
Mooooon
Ooooh, crispy edges!
Just noticed today that La Trobe St outside State Library Station is now clear for eastbound traffic, definitely a sign we’re getting much closer to opening the munnel. They’ve also laid brand new cobblestone in a side street which is pretty cool.
Wow, it felt like that was never going to finish. It’ll be great to see that whole area open again!
