I finally got some formatting on the online store working how I want it. Why doesn't the Proceed To Cart and Checkout buttons inherit from the regular button style, and why can't you change them in an editor if that's the case?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That sounds like a pain in the ass tbh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It has been. I think between Wordpress and Woocommerce they're trying to expand what you can do through visual editors, but there are still some problems.

I figured it out though, and I figured out how to do it with a live preview all through Inspect Element on the site. If anything, having limited editing and styling options was a distraction because I was trying to do it through there instead of just making custom CSS

Looking forward to this weekend!

The rain has stopped and best sky pretty I’ve seen in a while

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Pizza night I declare and Hawaiian it is!

Also picked up some thin little crispy things. 3 packets for 2 bucks each at 185g.

Good deal and don’t taste too bad either.

Listened to a podcast about a guy who pretended to be a Saudi prince and defrauded people out of millions of dollars. He managed to access a credit card with a limit of $200 million and no one really knows how he did it. I am astonished.

If you're attractive, friendly and confident I bet one could do all sorts of crazy shit tbh

people voted for Trump, nothing astonishes me any more

Getting proper rain here now in Thornbury.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just as I was driving through. Bell St was decidedly floody round the edges.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's just arrived in Ringwood now. Fortunately it held off long enough that Mr Woof and I only had to contend with a bit of drizzle on our walk.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Ted watching the rain.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

it's raining! 🥳

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Last real day of work tomorrow.

Mainly meetings. Monday is do nothing day and Tuesday is the last day. Catching up with people Tuesday for lunch.

It's almost over.

I just picked up $2 that I found on the floor. Would you do this or did I stoop to a new low?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I pick up everything, it's all money.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'd pick up $1 or $2. Amounts under that will depend on my mood.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'd pick it up. Finder's keepers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Still have no rain. Radar looks like it may miss large chunks of Melbourne. Mostly going south. Not much in north or east. Boo.

Edit: much rain now! Also I obviously don’t know how to interpret the rare, lucky I’m not a meteorologist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

slow drizzle here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yep, getting bupkis in the inner east. At least it's finally cooling down

E: now getting a nice good dose of steady rain. Hooray! Hot chocolate weather.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I finally got sucked in by the advertising and bought a pair of loop earbuds. I come home exhausted from my office days and I think the ambient noise is partly to blame. And I get a bit of traffic noise at home. Trying them at home today and seem ok but the test will be the office tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Submitted another assessment, and passed the two I submitted last night. Phew!

Gotta wait for the quizzes to open, and complete the last two assessments on WHS, and I should be good.

I really hope I hear back about that job I interviewed for on Tuesday. I'm trying not to think too hard on it, just remain hopeful but not dwell. It's so hard because I'd freaking love it. Argh!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Good luck! It's their loss if they don't contact you :)

I'm a bit concerned about this weather. I told Mr Woof it should be cool enough for afternoon walkies today, now it looks like we could get rained out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He needs a little doggy raincoat and boots. Although I suspect he’d be completely fine getting wet, and would love to roll wet-dog-smell all over your carpets

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He does have a raincoat. No boots though. He's fine getting wet, but when he is wet he will roll on everything and run up and down the hallway rubbing against the walls. So if he does get wet he has to wear his robe until he dries off.

raincoat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

He’s so cute!

I think we need a pic of him in the robe, now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

You did not lie. It is cool enough.
