Parts of the VCE exams were leaked this year as you could see some of the questions by highlighting the cover pages. I wonder if someone working at VCAA did that on purpose to see how long it would take for someone to find it.

The new switch to video feature on Spotify is pretty cool. The way it switches to exactly where the audio track is playing in the video on command. Probably a gimmick I'll get over but for now, I'm enjoying watching music videos I haven't seen for ages (or never seen).

Found a backpack in the front garden today and these are the contents

Most of it I understand and it obviously belongs to someone with not so very good intentions. You've got syringes, keys, tools, gloves, hammer, crowbar etc... but a TV remote (and no TV) and a pair socks has me fairly perplexed.

Don't need this right now but as they say bad luck comes in threes just waiting for #3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The plug in light thing is a night light.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Been looking everywhere for that backpack so thanks mate, lemme know when it's cool to come prick back up!

And I reckon your #3 will be you winning the RSL and having to move to QLD ❀️

Impressive burg kit. Even comes with 2 needles. Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

The socks might be for deadening the sound of the hammer breaking something. I too reckon it's time to borrow Hambam for a week or two. Or even Butters - who is quite capable of sneering a burglar to death imo.

That's an old school remote. Can be used for TV and blu-ray (although the blu-ray remote looks a little different) and it can still be used for newer Samsung TVs. Perhaps it's been modified for opening garage doors or something.

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

Worrying... sounds like it's time for hambam to come help guard the joint for a bit (if he's up for it). I hope you don't get that unlucky trio

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

When I saw it I thought 'well that not usual'.. opened it up 'hrmmm'.

Hambam would probably just grab his ball and wait for the throw :)

Bastard stole someone’s remote

Hope you’re doing ok and your mum is feeling better, too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

and your mum is feeling better

Thank you. I'm hoping things stabilise over the next few days and a bit of vision is restored but it's hard to know right now.

The remote may be a generic one used to see if it opens garage doors to get into houses. The gloves, tools and more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins.

I know a neighbour had an intruder a few years ago and when they got arrested cops found the person had stolen his keys. So that’s probably it. They might take them intending to come back.

The socks may be used to tie the arm off for injecting, or a spare pair. But with the filters and syringes there it’s probably the former.

Baffled by the plug in light (is that what that is?) but maybe it’s hands free lighting that wouldn’t be too bright.

Perhaps the cops might like a look but not sure what they can do if nothing has happened yet.

Perhaps you might like to babysit a nice loud doggo for a little while til things are less sketchy.

Edit: Security camera is also a great idea if possible

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins

Yeah my thoughts too.

The plugin light is an odd one.

i'm intrigued by your TV remote suggestion I've never heard that's a thing jeez.

I think I will hit up the local police see what they make of it all.

thank you kindly for your suggestions :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

This was still bugging me so I looked it up. Yeah that’s likely a universal remote (works on tvs dvd players and other things) which can also be synced to garage doors by the owner.

I think old mate possibly racked it from someone’s car.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

No worries, I don’t know if any of it is fact but you hear or read things.

I really hope you stay safe

Made a thread for tomorrow! It's nice and early, because I am going to sleep. Goodnight all :)

Mental health wise I've been in real crisis for the past couple of weeks but I seem to have come back from the brink somewhat.

Is it weird that I don't remember large chunks (think years) of my childhood?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

memories do fade and change with age.

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

Glad to see you back πŸ’œ I noticed your absence but wondered if you were just lurking πŸ’œ

I'ma place this under a spoiler just in caseI also am missing a lot from my childhood, but that's the cptsd. Trauma tends to cause a repression, though I assume you know this. Please don't take me saying this, as telling you what's up. That's just my experience.

Also, I do think some memories do fade naturally anyway, especially as we age.

I hope things take a turn for the better for you WS πŸ’œ

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don't know how much is just due to old age.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

$350 of free drinks?! That's dangerous (and fun).
