      I don’t know who that is but I’m watching highway patrol and I hope they all go into some sort of Aussie hall of fame. What happens when a cop with an attitude who very clearly became a cop just to be on tv meets a bloke who s never been told ‘no’ before? Hilarity, that’s what

            Yeah. Back in the oldens days he would’ve been given a few laps of the round about in the divvy before he got back to the cop shop.

              I heard many stories of cops doing that to the other kids at my last place when they’d run away. Usually they got held at a cop shop then brought back by a worker, but a few times they got brought back by cops

        I watched a few episodes of Dark Winds this morning. Such a beautiful show. No cringe, no anger, doesn’t make me feel dumber.

        The best aussie show I’ve seen lately was mr inbetween, and bluey of course

      Witnessed a massive emotional support ute nearly rear end a tiny af Kia, in heavy rain tonight. The type of heavy rain where nobody who is sensible would dare to do more than 25 in a 60 zone.

          We need more of these. We need one for “ation” and ‘ing’. Maybe one for ‘con’. Back when I learned shorthand, the ‘con’ symbol was seriously the most useful with ‘ation’ the next runner up. The zeugma just doesn’t work nowadays for ‘ng’. No I don’t know the shorthand for ‘dinosaur’.

            Technically a different thing. ‘Defunct’ single letter forms rather than abbreviation marks. Those are a whole bucket of mackerel that does my head in any time I need to attempt reading them. Never tried shorthand 🦕

              Comes in very handy for scrabble. It’s the z in Menzies (which is pronounced ‘mingis’) and represents the ng sound. Written it’s a z with a long tail like a ‘g’. Also features in the surname Dalziel (pronounced ‘dee ell’ with the ng bit being silent).
              Long ago I came to the conclusion that the Scots and the Irish can’t spell. So they make up weird spellings to piss off the English. Which strategy has proven to be very successful. Not that the English can’t do weird spellings too, they can, but the Scots are a whole nother ballgame.
              I understand it all boils down to a basically celtic pronunciation, but written down by Norman French speakers using a very different alphabet which was not designed for the purpose.

        It’s just pronounced like "ss’ double S sound.

        Eg. Groß - pronounced “grohss” - meaning: large/big

        Or Fußball - “fooss-ball”

    Awake at 5am. I hate non daylight savings.

    Also it’s autism acceptance month. Seeing lots of promotion of it at work but no actual discussion of how they actually do anything positive to help people with ASD. Nor the fact that many employees hide it because they don’t want to become a target / be put in the spotlight. It’s also ironic that return to office is pushing ahead, when people with ASD often find corporate offices a sensory hell. (Apart from other issues like dealing with commutes etc)

      Oh god I hope nobody tells all the big companies about this. It’ll become pride month V2

      spoiler

      Not dissing pride or pride month here, I just don’t like when companies take over events and social causes for the sake of trying to squeeze a few more bucks out of people

    Looks like I will get even more opportunity to play Jr Network engineer next month. I’m going to run ethernet into my rooms. I’m not at all a professional and don’t want to deal with cable terminating or actually wiring things, so the current plan is to take a cable out the back of the router in the lounge room and feed it through a passthrough style wall plate, take it into an AP in room 2, then feed into a switch, then finally take another cable out of that through another passthrough wall plate and into a final wall plate in room 1. Not ideal, and I’m a bit worried about introducing latency, but I’m pretty sure that’s the best option I’ve got for my skill level and what I’m allowed to do to the house. I sprung for gigabit cabling and equipment though, even though it’s overkill. Partly in the hopes that it might alleviate some of the latency, but also partly because everything’s going to stay here after I move, and it’ll probably be a whole century before anybody touches the cabling again lmao

      Latency wont be noticable. I havent checked recently, but running ethernet cables behind walls requires an electrician. Thats obviously stupid though, so go for it. Just run the ethernet as far away from electric cables as possible.

      Terminating cables isnt that hard, and the end result will be a bit nicer to look at.

      When you say passthrough wall plate, are you talking about: https://www.cablechick.com.au/cables/cat6-rj45-keystone-coupler-female-to-female.html If you dont want to terminate, but still want a nice look those are very easy to use.

        Oh that’s a relief. Yeah, it is still illegal to run any sort of wiring yourself, but it seems to be pretty unknown. We’re actually going for an even easier option than running it through walls, and running it under the house instead.

        Yeah that’s pretty much exactly what I’m talking about. They seem like the easiest and neatest option

          I ran my first run that way as well, under the house. Still illegal, but you can just claim an electrician did it and you dont know their name. The downside of those wall sockets is you have to drill a fairly large hole to get the RJ45 through, and in my case, it was a fairly long hole as well. Good luck!

      Heh. Clueless me read “period undies” as in “period bonnet” or general “period clothes”. I wasn’t aware of period undies. Are they a new thing?
