Daily Discussion Thread: Wed 15 Nov 2023 - Aussie Zone

Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

Up past my bed time… That damn Bodies on Netflix sucked me in.
I lost my entire last weekend to that damned show

I suspect I know what I’m losing my weekend to now

Welcome back, Botter!
😂 I wonder how many of our under 40’s will understand this reference.
37 here. The message is a reference to Welcome Back, Kotter. A show which most people are unaware actually had George Carlin in one episode!
Your dreams are your ticket out …

Gosh this song is stuck in my head now. Is this a recent insta / tok song? (I know the original is from '96)

Watched Hot Fuzz recently?
Also the Romeo & Juliette soundtrack?
escape from mantua is my jam.
Talk Show Host is still mine.

it’s been four hundred years and i’m still salty af that Exit Music for a Film was never included on either OST.

…mind you the Westworld rendition is hands down god tier.

Oh yess that’s it! I’ve been watching a lot of bri’ish movies.
that’s where they gotcha. It’s a throwaway gag at the end of the horrible theatre production.
are those possums outside wrestling or loving each other very much

A fortune cookie and a glass of milk please.
🥠🥛 what does the cookie say
Every time I open a fortune cookie, I always get the exact same fortune, every single time: “This paper has been coated with a food-safe laminate.”
The real food-safe laminate is the friends we made along the way
Hit me in the feels bro

“Know the opposition, its not always the enemy”

I am a bit startled to learn I have an opposition, and posibly an enemy. I wonder what they are opposing? Bit of a challenge to know them when I don’t even know of their existance.

whoever has been harming botbot
The opposition is within
I got this coupon for two large pizzas with free garlic bread and a coke from Dominoes: 🎫 will you honour it?

Almost as good as the real deal, thanks chef!

I have to purchase an unregistered vehicle permit from vicroads. Anyone hate how you have to purchase a separate permit to move it from point A to B and also to get it roadworthied/registered?

I have to move it from the depot to my home (1 permit) then from my home to the mechanic/vicroads (1 permit). They double dip on the permits, will cost me $100 instead of $50 :/

Get the one month option so you can move it between appointments without repeating the hassle.

That would be fine if you could use the same permit for moving it from A-B and getting it ready for registration but they want two separate permits for that

The time frame isn’t too bad, it’s $50 for 1 day but only ~$1 extra per day on top so the upfront cost is the frustrating part.

I made overnight oats with milk, vanilla yoghurt, a wee bit of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon sugar.

It’s proper nice but I think I made too much. Will know for next time.

I love overnight oats, although mine tend to be heavy on the fruit and I add yoghurt when serving. It also freezes well, which is great to do when there are lots of fresh summer fruits available.

Hell yeah. Try my chocolate oats recipe.

Measure with your heart

  • rolled oats
  • vanilla / chocolate protein powder for the sugar
  • cocoa powder
  • chia seeds
  • lil salt
  • walnuts
  • chocolate chips
  • yogurt if u want thicc
  • milk

God, job hunts are the worst. Partner's been looking for something literally anywhere within an hour of the cbd, has years of hospo experience, years of random tech knowhow. Even casual would be fine at this point. Just needs something to tide him over whilst we wait on the partner visa stuff to go through.

He's only had one bloody interview, even, and they were reportedly incredibly nice and then just never talked to him after.

I'm so exhausted with supporting both of us. He's so exhausted with doing 20+ bloody job apps every day. Ugh

does he have an RSA? Pubs and bottleshops are begging right now
He's working on that one, good to know!
Tech is fairly dead for recruitment. Even for those with experience.
Just in case the bot’s recent posting troubles have been a result of boredom and underwork I’ve set it up with another side gig to do a weekly discussion thread in the [email protected] community. Now posting 2pm every Wednesday.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Hopefully it feels a little better with the extra duties! Like keeping a kid entertained, maybe

So for anyone interested in my Google Home problem what was happening was Samsung wanted to over ride Google Home and it succeeded after an update. Every now and again Samsung interferes with Philips hue and Google Home can’t turn the lights on/off but nothing else has really happened except for the odd triggering from the TV.

So basically Samsung is a bully. Samsung asked GH for its lunch money then kick it in the nuts. Samsung has been told to stay in it’s corner and let GH do its thing.

Maybe this is what has been happening to bot 1. Don’t let the bullies win bot. We love you.

I am glad you got to the bottom of the problem, it sounds like it was getting really annoying.

In regards to Bot001, the tablet and phone are Samsung, so maybe they are being bullies. Bot001 has it’s own dedicated laptop though, so it should be safe even if they try to gang up. The other possibility is the wi-fi rice cooker, it’s Chinese and so could be part of a communist takeover. I try to keep it from consorting with the (also Chinese) breadmaker so they don’t consolidate their power base, maybe I need to do more.

Good to know botty is safe. Maybe he went to bed early because there was no cricket on.
You are joking about Bot001 being run from a laptop right?
Just in case this is true, and so you know, AWS lambda costs on the free tier allow for 1 million executions per month at $0 and can be set to run as a cron job. So it would literally be free and reliable.

And if you’re determined to run it locally, a raspberry pi will be significantly cheaper power bill wise and do the same job.

You can use an app called “Terminus” to ssh in to it from your phone if it needs a reboot.
