I bought a new moka pot recently online. Brand name but it's having some issues after a week or two - lots of loss of water through the pressure outlet... None of my pots have ever done this so I'm assuming there's a fault... Can't seem to figure out a way to tighten anything... Fixable or no do you think?

I finally updated my phone after a long time of putting it off. Everything feels so weird, but I especially miss the thunk my phone would do when I closed all open apps. Farewell, thunk, I will miss you!

I've been dismissing the update on my phone for about 2 months now. Unfortunately they're not designed to make phones better. Especially for an aging handset like mine

Having issues with Opticomm internet. It's a shame the government let them in after all those years fighting for the NBN, even with the copper connection downgrades.

Beach walk

The tide was very low , the dunes were full of chirping fairy wrens , I picked up 3 very nasty looking lures off the beach. And noticed sea anemones in little rock pools against the sea wall . These were yellow anemones, I've only seen dark red ones before. I took some pics. 😊

lures

Seems like you're finding heaps on that beach.

Have to say when I'm down at the beach on the bellarine I don't think I've ever seen one washed up. It's a popular spot for fishing which is curious.

Screams into the void

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 4 days ago (3 children)

whimpers into the void instead as the void is scary and can retaliate at times

(and pizza won't make me feel better :c back to feeling not really keen on food...)
