I fixed the smartplug issue. Turns out I had the grinder plugged into it, not the coffee machine. Good thing I figured that out before I had a certified Dad With Technology Moment

There's plenty of options if you want to sus out a decent Z-lib mirror or get on tor to find the official deep web version.

The baseline kobos go pretty cheap too, or you could get a second hand kindle, jailbreak it - which is meant to be really easy, and install KOReader.

That's the eBook app I use on my phone and it's great. The interface is a bit intimidating at first, but it's good once you get used to it

I'm looking at the trails near home to see if I can make the most if its mountain bike DNA to get to work faster

I think it's the best use case for an ebike. The step through frame makes it comfortable to use and the mid-drive has a bit more power than a hub motor

I finally bit the bullet and got an ebike. Velectrix Adventurer. It's pretty much a step through mountain bike, so it has front suspension, dropper post, fat tyres, and a stronger motor.

It also comes with mud guards, a rack, and integrated lights wired to the battery. Plus it has hydraulic brakes, which feels like the necessary minimum for an ebike.

There are higher spec bikes out there, but this is all I need for a 15km trip to work that I'll do a few days a week in between regular bike rides.

I could have gone even more basic with the Velectrix Brunswick, but I thought my girlfriend could ride this one because of the frame and dropper post. It seems a little big, but I'd like to get her on there

I hope you feel better. And it's good she was so understanding

I actually booked tickets to a burlesque variety show so we'll be getting a lot of that on the night

I've been meaning to share I really like the windchime I bought over a year ago. I got a good one from Rivers of Yarrambat and it has been great. It sounds nice, opening the door to the backyard fills the room with a nice sound, and it hasn't shown a sign of wear in that whole time.

I think placement makes a big difference, I lucked out putting it somewhere it doesn't cop too much wind, so most days it gives a nice ambient sound without going wild.

Any chili oil stuff that's from a smaller brand tends to be good. I picked up some stuff from a Mrs C's Chili Oil and it has been great. It's perfectly balanced where I know how much to add for a kick or massive spice

I'm sure I'll be able to tie the solstice into it somewhat. I also want to get ahead of things early in the unlikely event she's planning something as well.

I'll wait until we hit June then tell her I've already got plans. She can find out what they are closer to the date.

Going off that emoji I think we'll be celebrating in similar ways.

I think I'll drink too much beer and get stuck on the first boss, just like I did with the original Elden Ring.

 

Australiaโ€™s oldest contemporary art space is hosting a world-first exhibit of the viral video series thatโ€™s amassed more than 80 million views.

 

After the Four Corners episode, Some More News released this in the same week.

Whilst it's no surprise childcare is a mess in the States, at least we're not the only country where it's so bad.

 

My girlfriend has recently finished her Graduate Diploma in Childcare and is looking to become an ECT.

Is Seek the best option? I also found an aggregator page on the Victorian Department of Education and Training's website.

Are there other places good for childcare roles? Is contacting a centre you want to work for a good strategy?

 

You know how people make jokes about Thatcher and Regan's graves being gender neutral bathrooms?

Who do you think qualifies, or will qualify, for that title here in Australia?
