Power came on and it was a shame in a way because we were having a discussion about the internet: which would you rather, shitty internet or none at all?

Another protest in the city.

But the one thing that caught my eye is the number of Toyota Klugers in the police fleet lined up on the street. And then there's us having to wait months maybe years for a delivery lol.

Movie Review. Man with the Golden Gun. 1974 Bond Movie.

So boring I feel insulted. Not even Saruman could save this movie.

Sometimes the only reason to pay some attention to these movies is to see what was the fad at the time, in that movie it was king fu, and the gadgets, which at that time would have been really whiz bang and ahead of their time.

lol, in Live and Let Die 1973, bond had a digital watch, it had a red LED display , a few years before the general public had even heard of digital watches

A big thank you to @dumblederp@aussie.zone for hooking me up with an optiplex. It started without a problem and I've got it running how I want it to now.

Time to check out some of the selfhosting communities and see what I can do with this thing

I had roast pork for dinner and it was amazing. There is just something special about a good roast.

Market shop great success. I have veg for the week, salami, meat for the week, raspberry tea (love you Polish Shop), dumplings, tortellini and fresh library books.

The guy who runs the Wesh van must really like me. He gave me free mint tea with my lunch

Skies are dark but Iโ€™m getting no action yet. A red blob on the radar is making a bee line for my suburb but weโ€™ll see. Love a good storm.

Melbourne's own Chook raffle.

5 hours on PT today to see a doctor.

I'm getting myself a cheap car in a few months if everything goes well. Been so fucking long since I've driven. Might need some lessons I think.

[โ€“] Cendana@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Or a small motorcycle/scooter if you don't go anywhere far.

Before covid, did daily round trips CBD-Camberwell. Fuel, insurance, maintenance all up is about the same as a monthly Myki pass.

Looks like the cbd and the inner east copped it. Only minor here in Thornbury. Rain yes, no hail and not much thunder.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

I think the dramatic purple section passed a bit to the south of me (outer east). There was lots of dramatic flashes and ominus rumbling but nothing too bad. Maybe getting out the emergency torch etc. warded it off.
