I'm watching a cute small movie with Kelsey Grammer, Like Father. It's a nice movie. :)

But he'll always be Blinky to me. πŸ₯Ή

Its bin day in my estate and not a single one is left standing. Fortunately they were already emptied.

Why is my neighbor out using his leaf blower on a day like this? He's losing the fight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Same reason mine is trying to water his trees.

Nothing else to do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Maybe he is feeling angry and this is the outlet ? I’ll mow lawns angrily or whipper snip

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I feel like it would just make me angrier, it's so windy so there's no satisfying clean yard and pile of leaves at the end πŸ˜‚

HA nothing helps me vent like firing up the 2-stroke hedge trimmer and going to town on the front yard.

And THIS IS NOT A EUPHEMISM you perverts 🀣

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

there was a Muppet out with his 2 stroke blower yesterday drying his stupid F off sized ranger at 7pm last night. Just rolled my eyes, of course he owned a yank tank.

Oh boy what a douchenozzle.

Why do companies always go too-fancy when catering for corporate things? I'm not impressed by your ridiculous food which I'd never order.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I FLIPPIN hate this! Give me a party pie or a sausageroll ffs.

Us worker drones can sometimes get the high-class leftovers at least...

Currently planning my fortnight shopping and what I'd like to eat. I think I might go chicken wings seasoned with something for a few days. Going to buy at least 3kg-4kg so I hope it lasts me for awhile.

Just the thought of crispy air fried wings is making me hungry.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

When I buy wings, I separate the tips, wingettes and drumettes and freeze them in portions. The tips can be made into stock for when I have some nearly expired vegies.

I thank my efforts for the cloudy and windy day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Have washed only some of my windows - so the rain will come later today.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Adelaide tomorrow! Exciting, but it involves planes 🫀

How hard is it to hook up an RSS feed to Lemmy? I was thinking we could do with the deal feed from Ozbargin on here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, but if you figure it out, I'd be interested in seeing if I could get a product recall one setup

back was twinging a little so I'm just resting today

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

Starting my new job tomorrow!

But they still haven’t informed me of when exactly I’m meant to start my shit. Will have to call in and chase that up after lunch me thinks.

Oh and I started my own community for anyone interested, learning about, or working in early childhood.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Subscribed. My girlfriend is studying to become an ECT and we have almost a year and a half old twins at home

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

That's so cool you've started a new community. You should make a post from [email protected] explaining what it's about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and it'll land on the homepage. If it's just Melbourne based then post it in [email protected]. It'll still end up on the home page.

Good luck with your new job tomorrow!

Something's not quite right because your community is not showing up in the list of Aussie.zone communities. I'm an idiot when it comes to tech but maybe @[email protected] can sort it out because he's a champion at this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.

Anyway, it's fine, now. I didn't do anything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh ok. It's not showing up on the list of local communities for me. I don't know enough about this kind of stuff though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ahh - now I see what you mean. It isn't showing up in local communities because it isn't a local community. That interpretation of "local" means "local to aussie.zone", not local to Australia. As the community lives on Quokk.au, it isn't local as far as Lemmy is concerned.

[email protected] exists, for example - but it won't show up on local communities, because it lives on lemmy.world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Oh I think I get it now. Thank you for clearing that up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think they are running their own instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I think you are correct but I didn't know how to put it into those words. If that's the case then disregard everything I said.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Your stomach will know when you need to start shitting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Haha oops, I must be out of f’s.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)
