Not there yet but golly gosh did this new 'puter churn through that data.

Comet C/2025 R2 SWAN. 20 x 3 mins exposure.

Usually have to leave it for a good 15 mins / 30 mins to process.. took < 1 min now which is wild.

Great photo. I tried to set it as an eye friendly background on my monitor to replace the top view of a pineapple field that I currently have but KDE is being less helpful than I have patience. Saved to downloads until I work out how.

So what are we all doing to celebrate your birthday? A particular colour we should wear that day? A particular album you want us all to listen to and review? A flavour of cake we should all treat ourselves to?

Ok got Jerboa working.

Spoiler: Assault discussion and rant ::: spoiler Title Assault discussion and rant

:::So today I go to the cafe I like to get a coffee from at the train station before work, and the guy next to me at the counter is having a friendly chat with the barista. Suddenly a guy comes up to him and slams a coke can into his neck. The can sprays one drop of liquid onto my leg and I stare at it stupidly. The two guys are not throwing punches but the guy who was attacked is just meeting his force, they're just kind of swaying. My stupid brain thinks they know each other, and then I'm like, "hang on why would he hit him with a Coke can?" (I am super dumb before coffee and had half my brain on my birthday). The attacker then headbutts the other guy and walks away. The victim kept an incredibly cool head. It all happened so quickly and was the most unprovoked and totally random thing I have ever seen. The victim looked a bit like Andre Agassi and the perp looked a bit like Catweasel but younger. His neck was scratched up from the can and he had a rapidly growing lump on his face. I told him he needed to get that seen to. I've seen the perp around that area and he's a homeless guy who's made himself a little encampment I've seen. Never seen him act like this before, but has obvious mental health issues. A couple of us gave the victim our numbers, but he said "the police aren't gonna do anything anyway." It was just really disturbing in that it was so completely random and unprovoked. When one of the other witnesses asked, the guy said he didn't know him and had never met him before. For years I had anxiety and was in a heightened hyper vigilant state, and it took years of counselling and medication to actually deprogram myself from that. And then today something like that happens right next to me and I stare like a stunned mullet (to be fair, so did everyone else). When I got to work the kitchen manager said lucky it was just a Coke can, what if it was a knife. I thought shit, that's true and seriously the guy would've been dead.

The day before that, some pervert got arrested for trying to abduct children just down the block from there. He actually climbed into a car to get a kid and the mother was right there! Seriously what the fuckโ€ฝ I feel like carrying a ciggie lighter to go with my can of deodorant, if my dumb brain decides to react in time for it to be useful.

7
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon

Holy shit. I hope you're ok now. I don't know what else to say. That's fucked.

7
Seagoon_ - 2mon

so many hugs , that's just terrible, and yes, standing still is a tactic our brain uses, you survived, you did good

and you tried to help too

more hugs

6
SituationCake - 2mon

WTF. Iโ€™m so sorry. This is terrifying. Thereโ€™s no way to know how a violent person might react if you tried to intervene, he could escalate the violence. The fight/flight/freeze primitive brain is usually very good at making the right choice, otherwise we would have died out as a species. I think mental institutions are not always a bad thing. Nobody benefits from this guy being on the street. Not him, not his victims, not the police, not the bystanders. There must be a better way.

6
Eagle - 2mon

How frightening for you, I don't think any of us know how we'd react when faced with something like that. There is something very wrong with our system where an assault like that isn't worth reporting. I hope you can process this and it doesn't change the kind soul you are ๐Ÿฉท

5
tone212_ - 2mon

That's a really scary situation to be involved in, I'm sorry that happened to you and on your birthday too. Something is in the air in Melbourne lately. That random stabbing in the news today and now what you've described. After my pumpkin attack episode earlier in the year (which the police did not take seriously at all), I am so much more vigilant of the people around me and keep my distance from anyone acting strangely.

5
melbaboutown - 2mon

Iโ€™m so sorry, Melbourne is getting so fucked. And itโ€™s illegal to even carry stuff for self defence.

That was the freeze response (which you probably know) and is designed to protect you. I hope youโ€™re doing alright in the aftermath.

4
StudSpud The Starchy - 2mon

You did the right thing, intervening would have only put yourself in harm's way. It sounds the aggressor may not only have mental health issues, but meth/drug issues as well, and you can't know how they're going to act at any given minute.

Try to occupy your hands and brain with a physical task - a simple game (Tetris, or a simple puzzle game) can help with processing what happened.

You're going to be okay, sending you good vibes and love ๐Ÿ’œ

How much salt comes out? Could you use it in a tequila type sitaution?

4
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon

Nah. Maybe 20 - 30 grains of salt. If you stick a piece of foil on the wall and shoot you can see the spray pattern.

I have stood on the chair at Christmas lunch and asked everyone if they want any seasoning. They all declined the cowards.

Bringing a salt gun into the dunny is dedication.

Not quite. I went in there, shut the door and I hear buzzing. Eyes wide "QUICK, GET MY GUN. IT'S IN HERE".

I'm really tempted to get one. Had no idea they existed before you raving on about them lol.

Ultimate "anyone who doesn't like spraying fly spray inside" gift. So not just for dads. They also come in hot pink. I wish I had that one.

I had a look on aliexpress and you can get them for around $50 or less, so I might treat myself to one

Rusty Raven - 2mon

I have managed to plant two of my plants so far. I'm not accustomed to hot weather, and digging out the grass around the area of the planting hole is tough work. One or two plants then a break will be the pattern of the day. I have the fan on creating a nice breeze inside, when it gets a bit warmer I plan to test the evaporative cooling function, whether I really need it or not.

5

I was expecting hot and gross weather today. It's just kind of warm. Maybe since it's a one off day the house hasn't ha da chance to heat up

The cool change has alread come through Ballarat too, it definitely didn't get up to advertised temperature. I was worried about getting too hot working outside (it is in full sun) but I've had to stop working due to rain instead.
