      Temperature’s warmer than yesterday by a couple of degrees but it seems colder. 🥶

    I have had a realisation that todays kids will never experience a life where they are not under constant observation. And it’s probably willingly. Social media, tracking aps on phone from parents, data collected on their preferences for any media they engage with, smart watches that monitor movement and sleep, etc.

      It depends on the parents. We let our kids go off together a lot more than most parents. They both get themselves to school, and have done so for years. We’ll let them go off to the park unsupervised etc. Older kid goes off for a couple of hours at a time on bike/train adventures. Yes, his phone has tracking on it, but he leaves it home a lot and honestly I ever used it the first week to verify it was working.

      what do you mean by “it’s probably willingly”??

      I need clarification, but without it, any way I can interpret that as a is very superficial and probably a very unrealistic conception of what “today’s kids” need from/experience as life

        I mean there are reasons these services are used, like wanting to know how many steps we took, engaging with peers, know where other people are located etc. Not saying it’s all doom and gloom. Just observing that it used to be that you could go around walking, sleeping, shopping, socialising and watching movies without data being collected for every tiny life detail. It’s just different, that’s all. For younger people it’s normal, but for older people it feels… I dunno, like something has been lost that will never be gotten back.

    So I have a decision to make.

      If it’s just the globe (which it probably is), you can do it yourself at any time. Supercheap would have the right fitting globe and there’s definitely YT videos on how to do it. You can probably even do it in the carpark without any tools.

      Depending on the car and model of course, but it should be quite straight forward.

      Get it done ASAP

      REALLY depends on the car. My old car was SUCH a PITA that I swore I’d never DIY again each time I had to do it.

        Very rarely as I don’t go out at night.

        Darkest it’d get would be when I leave for work at 7 in the morning. I get home relatively early in day.

    slept really good the last couple of nights, but had an emotionally draining day yesterday. Only thing that seems to help is music. I feel like I could put my head on a pillow and sleep in 3 second.

      Some kinds of music really have an effect on my brain - just allows me to settle without realising it. It’s such a good way of reorganising the gunk

    Now this hotel doesn’t have very good soundproofing (at this point I don’t believe any building in Australia does) and I can hear everything happening in the hallway and the rooms next to me. BUT I’ve got a splitty in my room and I set it to come on if it goes under 19 and this is great. So much easier to wake up when it’s not like 5° in your room

    I still couldn’t get a very good sleep though. Dozed off again at 5:30 or so and woke up again now. But tonight I’ll have a better sleep

    My landlord is actually really good. House is pretty shit but he’s a really chill guy. Feel pretty lucky. I wish I could transport this place about 10kms closer to the city.

    I’m craving fancy little chocolates. Like from the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie’s beautiful cabinet or Haighs or the like. What’s your go to flavour? I’m a sucker for anything passionfruit or strawberry/raspberry.

    Whilst I’m positive about my plans for the future in general I’m a bit apprehensive about moving house too. It’s all the little changes, stuff like where the teaspoons are is pretty much muscle memory now, I’ve been in the same place for 18 years now so the little routines are quite ingrained. Plus I have to get used to sharing space again and all the compromises that entails. All while reassuring a cat and dog who will also be stressed by the transition.

    At least by the time everything is sorted out to actually make a move it should be Spring, so I won’t have to contend with either freezing cold or boiling hot temperatures.

      Honestly it really comes down to people. The people have made for some of the best times of my life living in sharehouses. But conversely, laying on the couch and finding a condom wrapper you didnt use is NOT fun. Living with teenagers sucks.

        I managed to mostly miss the sharehouse situations, other than a year in student residence. The idea of a living in a standard sharehouse fills me with horror. I’m moving in with Mum which will make it a bit different, especially as she is starting to need help so I will over time end up taking over all the work of cooking etc. I’ve spent many years perfecting my techniques for cooking for one, now I have to cook for two, plus take into account someone else’s preferences (and dental challenges). A sharp learning curve awaits - along with a major re-evaluation of my kitchen container collection! Hopefully she retains ability to do some cooking for as long as possible though - even if I have to partially pre-pepare meals in advance the idea of being able to go home after work to dinner underway at least occassionally definitely appeals.

          I used to make a standard size family recipe and immediately freeze the extra in individual portions to microwave later. It was great even as a single person.

          If you guys have a few meals that suit you both that could work.

          (You don’t have to eat the same thing every day, you can add different meals as convenient if there’s room)

    hm. Found an ipad in the middle of a normally VERY busy road, undamaged so I must have just come across it as it went flying off someone’s roof (it was near a sharp turn) . No neighbouring houses ping a wifi pickup, anyone know how find my works on these things and if it needs a network connection to work?

    Failing that, how to get in without wiping? Just wanna get it on the network, I’ve taken a photo with it with my number and a note saying CALL TO PICK UP YOUR TABLET since it’s gonna sync to cloud

      Apple are surprisingly unhelpful with this stuff. I called them about found airpods and they were very “meh” about contacting their own customer.
