    i’ve been doing so many reCaptchas over the years and I have noticed there are far too many people in tropical places who wear thongs while riding a motorcycle

    Funny sort of an evening. Started with, I think I’ll finish that little bit of cleaning… Next thing I know I’m behind the bloody washing machine. Late dinner out and now it’s past my bedtime and I’m still out… Thank goodness tomorrow is my Friday…

    day 5, had to drive with the corset; let’s just say the loaner car is too low… but yea excited to get the dashcam and boot protector installed, my cupboard didn;t turn up today…

    williamstown enterance to the west gate this morning was shit. the car was moving around 1km an hour, turns out becos it was a one-lane-only entrance everyone has using the second lane to cut in. best part was I used a side road to exit and there is a “keep clear” box outside this side road, had to loudly horn at someone who was cutting in. smh

    The pain is better today took a nice afternoon sleep. yea, these days I’ve been sleeping a lot, resting a lot. some said no housework but having both of us having back issues, someone has to do it lol, but really taking it easy. might attempt t go to the city on Friday for the footy as well as on Saturday to go to the finders market with a friend. definitely weaning myself off endone. will attempt med-free sleep tonight.

    weather is too cold…

    I have made the fatal mistake of finishing all of my travel preparations and there’s still 40 days to go. I’m ready now, damn it.

      I’m so jelly. Will this be your first road trip in the US? I’ve been on two short ones, Detroit to Kenosha and Detroit to Manhattan, and I think my fave thing was the beautiful countryside and the pretty small towns.

        I did a little bit of driving on my last trip over there in 2012, mostly over on the east coast too. Buffalo up to Niagara Falls, Toronto then down to Manhattan. I did a bit more driving down in Florida too. This will be for sure a more scenic road trip though! All of my US trips in the past have been focused on the cities and/or amusement park locations but this time I’m hitting a buuunnch of national parks. Then cap it off with some downtime in Vegas to just chill out, eat edibles, go to the movies, whatever. So pumped.

    I have two twitter accounts that I linked a thousand years ago. I never ended up using twitter so the accounts just sit there. I went to go delete them, as my little ‘fuck you’ to Muck, but it wants my password… as if I’m going to remember a password I used 10 years ago.

    Anyway, I changed my usernames to variations of ‘elon suck my dick’ and now I’m going to troll his tweets until I get banned. Stupid fuck.

    Wish me luck!

    Edit: give me some more people to insult on twitter, I’m trying to nuke these. Im on that moron Jordan Petersons twitter atm

        hehe I got restricted to read-only because I told him to do a very bad thing to himself that I won’t repeat here.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve had fennel bulbs but damn I’d forgotten how unbelievably good they are roasted. The air fryer is far too filthy to use right now but I’d love to try it in there

        Slice thinly across the grain and dress with olive oil/lemon etc. for a salad. I’m not a fan of them cooked - don’t like the taste. Raw, they are nice and crunchy and refreshing in a salad with an aniseedy bite to them. Slices can be quick pickled and are wonderful with practically anything. Can be used as a celery substitute in almost any recipie I believe (except mirepoix but that may be just me). The green fronds can be used instead of dill, but will taste of aniseed. Pretty though.

        I just roasted them and tossed them through with pasta. They go wonderfully with capers or lemon and maybe some zucchini or red capsicum.

    I’m hoping I don’t feel as shit about work tomorrow. I have some big thinking and planning to do for myself I feel like I could really use a week off. I’ve written down a list of stuff that I need to do including routine medical checkups that I’ve been procrastinating on. I don’t know how so many things have crept up on me. Adult life I guess. Just as you feel like you got life sorted, another bunch of problems or life admin stuff comes up. Sigh.

    Time for bed. Anxious about the bot, but it has worked once, I must have faith. I have instructed it to make a post at midnight given all the test posts worked last night. I think it will take a few more successful posts before I can really trust it is working.

        It’s made from other people’s code, I just had to add the specific variables and work out how to actually run it - which starting from absolutely no knowledge has been pretty hard. If I knew what I was doing it would probably be fairly easy!

        If you want to look at it the code I used is on GitHub. Search Lemmy Bot for the main code, and Lemmy Frank Bot for the specific posting bits. I had to strip out the sections to pin posts as they were not working, possibly because of the change to version 18 on Lemmy as that’s not been updated since the change.

    In today’s instance of messed up dreams, I had a very vivid and lengthy one about an insane weather event where BOM predicted it would go down to -26 and -28 in Melbourne over the weekend (just the weekend!) and the forecast recommended in the strongest terms that everybody stay indoors as much as possible. Then in the dream I went to the DT and everyone was losing their shit and people were sharing info of which supermarkets still had stock of anything and locations of official “cold shelters” operated by councils for people to take refuge in if needed. The Alps were being evacuated and there was talk of crop failures and potential deaths in the thousands. It was very real in my head.

    It wasn’t even that cold this morning!
