Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Indian food is on its way, cat is fed and brushed, my latest song is loaded in the studio ready for new parts and video game is picked out for later tonight.
Bliss.
I just wanna say you may want to consider more cowbell for the new parts of your song.
Cowbells have a tough gig these days.
The Britney Higgins fiasco is a very good case study in demonstrating why justice should take place in the courts and not in the media.
Now there are lawsuits flying around everywhere left right and centre. If there was a case to answer, the trial would have gone a lot more smoothly beyond the glare of the media spotlight. But doing a tell all interview on national TV is the best way to ruin that.
I honestly don’t feel like I have enough information to have an opinion about guilt or no guilt.
But I felt weird when she signed a book deal for a large amount of money before the trial.
It doesn’t sway me one way or the other, but I didn’t think it was a good idea.
Agreed, very poor judgement.
Dear whom it may concern. I’m having trouble with seeing replies. You see when it reaches 300 comments (which I make several on a Friday night 🤷♀️) replies collapse and when I click on the arrow the spinny thing spins its heart out but nothing happens. I am told it’s a server problem on your end. I have the latest Chrome so I know it’s not me. Please fix it.
Regards @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone
no problem here, also using Chrome (on mac) but not the latest one.I can expand some replies but not all. Also on Chrome but not the latest.
gonna cosign on your comment bc I’m having the exact same issue right now. thought it was something breaking on my end.
Maybe call out one of the admins instead of yourself.?
How does one do that? Perhaps you could do that for us.
All the admins are listed at the bottom of the sidebar menu.
Where’s that?
I want a cigarette so fucking bad holy fucking shit fuck
Edit: this is gonna kill me
have a wank, the dopamines will help
Nah. Have some water.
Edit - also, quitting is hard hey. Stuck for me on my 7th attempt. Every little bit you can do is progress.
You’ll feel worse after.
Have a drink or some bitter green tea
Fuck oath! All week I’ve been craving one! I as only ever a drunk/social smoker. Havnt had one in 5+ years so I can’t even imagine what it’d be like to be a proper smoker.
Well I’ve had just a bad start to the weekend start to the weekend.
My hot water system has now has a massive leak and I was forced to turn it off so as of now I have no hot water or access to it.
What a disaster :(
If it’s the tank that’s leaking, best to replace it. Not sure its worth fixing.
As an owner it should cost around $2k for a new one. At least that’s what I paid 3 years ago.
I’m not sure where or what it’s leaking from. There was a substantial amount of water flowing.
If that’s the cost of a new one I guess I’m out of luck for a good while.
Could just be a valve too. Those are much cheaper. Had one go years ago. A stream was pissing out the side from the relief pipe. Cost about $200 to fix.
I can only hope that it’s lucky. Been experiencing like a water hammer noise for awhile and maybe the pipe at the back leading into the water unit finally burst.
Or unlucky if the whole unit needs to be replaced
Oh no. I hope you can get it fixed asap.
I hope so too. I don’t know if it’ll be easy or not. If it can’t I’m going to have to think of some creative ideas.
If you’re in desperate need for a shower your local aquatic centre.
Might have to though I might prefer to do a cold shower at home vs doing that.
Anyway I know I’ll have to do it tomorrow and the day after.
As shit as that is at least know that you’re not the first person who’s had to do that.
Thanks. Just a bit complicated because I have skin issues and stuff.
Double crap.
When our family visited my parents home country in the 90s and 2000s nobody had hot water systems. My mum still insisted on us washing in warm water if we showered at night, though. So we just boiled hot water in a kettle on the stove, poured it in with some tap water in a large plastic bucket, and used a plastic scoop to wash ourselves. We also didn’t grow up with hot showers for the most part so it wasn’t outrageous. However… Massive caveat this was obviously a lot easier in the tropics. But thinking back it’s made me realise how much we take hot water for granted.
Anyway, the bucket method is there as a last resort…
Thinking about it some more yours might be the best idea for awhile for me if things don’t get resolved.
Going to have to wait to try it out but I think it’ll get me by. Just need to wait for my payday to get a backer and ladle for this.
Could keep it to pits and bits with a washcloth if you have a plastic basin or bowl or something hanging around
Thinking it’s what I might have to do
Do you have access to a 24 hr gym? You could shower there in the short term.
I haven’t really looked into it to be honest. I don’t have a subscription to one though.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round Like a rekkid, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
TGIF.
I’m going to roll my back muscles to oblivion on my foam roller. Holy SHIT I’m stiff
Gah. Got all stressed and scratched parts of myself where I was I starting to heal.
This is going to be a long and painful process.
I feel like the universe hates me and is doing everything it can to break me.
The universe is a cunt. It doesn’t care about any of us. That’s why we’ve gotta care for ourselves!
You got that right.
I made the mistake of not looking after myself sadly.
gentle hugs
Thank you for the hugs.
Yo fellow night owls. 🦉🦉
Special shout-out to parents doing book week costumes this evening. Know you are not alone.
hoo 🦉
Another problem with replies is when I go to notifications and click show context, no context is shown.
Agreed it’s annoying.
We need action. When do we want it now. Or tomorrow. Tomorrow’s good for me.
not today
I can confirm that a half eaten doner kebab goes alright in the airfryer.
Goes better in a sandwich press
Good idea.
Even the lettuce??
Yes. This kebab had very little salad. Mostly meat.
I too want to protest the spinny thang.
Friend is overseas and I’m jealous. Meanwhile I’m stuck here, injured and getting fat.
seems that overseas you would either cook or drown 😬
Have people used new names on here? I do recognise a lot of usernames but some people feel familiar without quite being able to place you
A handful? Most of us retained.
Nah. I’m not that creative.
There’s a few
I was formerly u/Positive_Complaint, a randomly generated name Reddit tossed up when I joined, more a lurker and very occasional commenter. I rebranded because a new start with a new site, it felt right for me. It seems easier to comment here and more welcoming.
It’s a’me…who are U?
Not too sure.
My name is the same though.
Yeah defs a few people who rebranded.
A slight variation on my part
