My first time watching Zoolander and Zoolander 2. I have no words to describe what I just saw.

What is this? A movie for ants?

Force_majeure123,

Zoolander is one of my favourite movies. It’s absolutely genius

I love that MUGATU jumper with his name in bold across it.

StudChud,

But… Why male models?

Well that’s finally one saga over. I have wheels again! I think I’ve grown grey in my eyebrows from the stress.

Tomorrow I shall start organising insurance, put in a dashcam, look up places to get quotes for a new head unit, set up direct debits for rego, shop for seat covers and all the rest. And tidy my godawfully messy carport with months of dead leaves and crap accumulated. My neighbours will probably be rolling their eyes and sighing, “at last”…

That is good news.

You should organise insurance first (you should have done that before you picked it up). There is a cooling off period so you can cancel if you find a better deal when you have time, but you don’t want to be without it.

just_kitten,
@just_kitten@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah, I normally would’ve organised insurance first but it was touch and go as to whether this sale was even happening this week. It’s the first thing on my list for tomorrow.

Congrats! That must be a relief!

I feel so much lighter and free, even though I’m once again chained to the regular expenses of a car. No more faffing around with carshares at odd hours, constantly checking PT times, carrying around a coat and charger, leaving things behind at home, saying no to catchups…

wscholermann,

It’s unfortunate but Melbourne does not lend itself to getting around particularly easily with PT.

@wscholermann @just_kitten The inner suburbs where there's trams isn't that bad. Or along train lines.

But anywhere that you need to get to by bus... shudders

(And how is it the Belgrave line has half hourly trains during most of the day?!)

dumblederp,
@dumblederp@aussie.zone avatar

Past 10km, the suburbs are woefully car dependent. Busses and shared bike lanes as an after thought are terrible.

People, people! Please do not attempt to use a portable fire pit indoors! A very smart otherwise friend just made a very bad mistake.

RustyRaven,
@RustyRaven@aussie.zone avatar

Oh dear. Did they burn the house down or just give themselves smoke inhallation?

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

No persons or felines harmed. Nor purportedly furniture. I fear for the floorboards.

ajsadauskas,
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@Catfish @RustyRaven Oh dear.

By any chance, did this otherwise smart person have a few drinks before deciding that bringing the portable firepit inside was a good idea?

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

Nope. It was an intentional plan & new purchase. The cunning part lacking.

ajsadauskas,
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@Catfish Okay, so you have to tell us the full story.

What possessed your friend to do this? Why did they think an indoor fire without a chimney was a good idea?

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

My knowledge is limited. They are being deliberately oblique about just how bad it got. However they have been soundly told off by many, many people.

RustyRaven,
@RustyRaven@aussie.zone avatar

Did they at least get a visit from some firemen?

melbaboutown,

I wish I had one of those and a proper yard to put it in… Marshmallows and bevs

bacon,

forgot to have second coffee
will have one and get up late tmr
breakfast might be delayed

chili bread is in oven 🌶️🧀🥖

@Seagoon_ How'd the chilli bread turn out?

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

delicious and spicy , might be a little too spicy for breakfasts

ajsadauskas, (edited )
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@Seagoon_ Sounds delicious — and there's no such thing as too spicy when it comes to chilli 😊

that looks delicious

How does a pampered house cat get her claws so sharp?😖 Melbcat is tap dancing in my lap to get comfy, pulling threads out of my good trackies and the skidding with her weight is dragging her claws through my flesh.

She much prefers to be grubby and wild but I need to clean her eyes, have another wipe at the remnants of the ear drops, give her ears another wash and clip her nails.

ajsadauskas,
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@melbaboutown @Seagoon_ How often do you trim her nails?

A good scratching pad can help too.

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

It might not. I have two, one blunts himself perfectly, the other is pointy as F. Same scratch trees etc never tried cutting them. Best guess is the blunt one spends more time in the tile end of the house, grout.

ajsadauskas,
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@Catfish I've found the secret is to get them when they're still half asleep.

And just one paw at a time — don't think you'll get all four done in one go.

melbaboutown,

As often as she allows - which is to say, not often. She also grows them back so fast.

She’s got two cat trees she uses but those just seem to file them sharper. I’ll see if I can find an affordable scratch pad

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

She’s got two cat trees she uses but those just seem to file them sharper.

sharpening is exactly what she is doing, she’s removing old nail layers to reveal the new sharp ones

walking outside tends to dull cat claws

melbaboutown,

Ahh, no chance of that. If I let her outside she’ll pick up fresh fleas and/or abscond

Edit: She refuses to walk on a leash

RustyRaven,
@RustyRaven@aussie.zone avatar

Miss Meow is back in her tunnel. It’s definitely a hit, she’s been hanging out in there every evening.

@RustyRaven @Seagoon_ Nawww, how cute 😻

6 hours of watching Superstore and a 2 hour nap. Busy busy day.

wscholermann,

This bogan piece of shit in cobram that’s been arrested makes my blood boil. And while he was found not guilty for the murder of that toddler innocent people don’t hide dead babies in their roof. That toddlers last moments alive were being brutally assaulted and I just find it so upsetting . At worst he did it and they couldn’t prove it. At best he was an accessory to the crime.

Really makes me want to bring back the death penalty. Some people just need to be gone for the sake of society and no amount of meddling is going to fix their fucked brain.

poor baby 😭

prime_factor,

Just heard that it took 5 months for bands to be paid following gigs at the Bendigo Hotel.

No wonder why bands were refusing to play there.

Gibsonisafluffybutt,

I’m going to miss that place so much, but it sounds like they were running it into the ground.

melbaboutown, (edited )

Just double checking that I did right.

Without too many details, I was on social media and saw that an underage user (like 12 years old) had publicly posted a school picture of themselves and their friend - including their faces, the first name of one kid, and the logo of their school. They had also been engaging with content that had an age rating and wasn’t for kids, making that self doxxing even worse.

The report system refused to give me an appropriate option so I eventually just reported it as suspected child abuse material, explaining in the notes that I thought them posting their faces and school publicly could risk real life harm.

This was the right way to go about things, yes? My report options were extremely limited.

I’m hoping that photo gets pulled down before it makes these kids a target

And the parents catch on to what their kid is doing

Did nobody teach these little goblins internet safety??

Duenan,
@Duenan@aussie.zone avatar

It’s unfortunately the by product of a generation exposed to social media and kids not getting the proper education and also acknowledging that there are future consequences to what they post online.

They may have been taught and might not realise how important it is not to expose too much of your personal information online.

Anyway you did the right thing and I hope a resolution happens soon.

melbaboutown,

Thanks. Almost had a heart attack when I saw that. I really wish they taught these things in school and enforced them at home

Cooked chicken carcass in a plastic bag. Sure.

lips burning

I just chopped up some chilies for chili bread

I washed my hands

then ate a bikkie dipped in coffee

must have put chili on the bikkie 😟

Duenan,
@Duenan@aussie.zone avatar

Gah. I spent all day and night troubleshooting tech and why things weren’t charging.

Go out and buy a replacement part and I think everything is suddenly working and connecting together.

Felt like I just wasted money today figuring that out or just having it fixed magically.

Well at least I went and stocked up on spices which was the original aim of today.

Coffee time!

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

ooh, what spices did you get 😻

Duenan,
@Duenan@aussie.zone avatar

I picked more mild Moroccan Hoyt’s.

It’s so nice!

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

yum, I used to add that to mixed vegies, tomato, couscous and sliced spanish chorizo, ate it most days for a few months. Lost tons of weight

Duenan,
@Duenan@aussie.zone avatar

That sounds delicious!
