Just did my first solo trivia night and there was quite a crowd, feels like a good sign for me going forward. Plus I'll get to practice all over again tomorrow night covering at a venue I've never done before.

That was a regularly recurring example from previous discussions. It was a popular method for the UK porn verification stuff earlier this year. I was never comfortable with it being the only method however. I don't expect a recovering alcoholic or Muslim to buy a beer for this.

I’ve begrudgingly given her an earful. Only because it’s you guys.
She’s lucky she didn’t have to hear about the onion on my belt (which was the style at the time)

That was actually a fairly astute one. That Molly has been out of the limelight since his bad fall ten years ago. I doubt anyone under sixteen knows who he is.

Was going to hit Molly with Ian 'Turps' Turpie hosting The Price is Right and dating Olivia Newton-John for 5 years from age 19 before splitting up, and Turps going on to do Club Buggery but I might have to explain Roy and HG, which could take a while.

There was plenty of Molly around at the nightclubs 20 years ago but it didn’t seem appropriate to say that to a 16 year old.

Didn’t Anonymous hack government sites in retaliation and scare them into backing down? Or am I misremembering?
I remember that controversy happening but that was a while ago
1
Nath - 1w
Someone leaked the lists. I don't think it was a hack. The conversation turned into "why is this random dentist being blocked"? "Who is making these lists"? "How do you get unblocked?" Etc
The government was half-hearted about the whole thing anyway, only toying with it for Family First. It fizzled after.
2
Force_majeure1234 - 1w
Ok hopefully I have fixed the issue. Thx to studspud the starchy one for her insights. I think issue was that I accidentally signed up through lemmy.world instead of Aussie.zone and there might have been some synching issues. Hope now resolved?

I've heard that sharing your goals can make your less likely to achieve them, but I have a goal. Next year, I want to improve my writing. I got an assignment back that said I was more descriptive than analytical, which is probably a Year 9 English problem, something I should've learnt when I was 15. Writing has always been something a source of anxiety. I remember the first essay I had to write under timed conditions in early high school, I had broken down into tears.
I think solving the procrastination problem, and being more "meta" about my work can help with this. Also asking for help. I think when academic skills reopens, I'll ask them how I can improve.

Reading up some more and cats are very sensitive to fumes from even odourless mineral spirits, which are also really flammable… I could try to work outside but bubs would fuss and I’m still not confident in the disposal issue.
Perhaps I should first just use paint from the tube and try cleaning brushes with vegetable oil followed by soap and water.
And find somewhere safe to keep these flammable bottles in Summer :/ /paranoid

Seagoon_ - 2w
work near the kitchen suction fan, keep windows open if you can
5
melbaboutown - 1w
Yeah, my anxiety is just going crazy. Stupid because I used to use turps to clean brushes back when I stripped and repainted furniture (when I was more able bodied) and nothing happened but I don’t like taking chances.
I wish I had a shed with an extraction fan, or enough room to paint outside with Melbcat in a big comfortable cat run nearby

Navigating mygov shit for ol' girl's medical stuff. Couldn't get past security q "name of first pet". She grew up on a farm.
Was getting very frustrated.. so sat her down and said right.. write down the name every favourite pet and we'll try systematically.
We had 2 horses, a donkey, a chicken, 2 dogs, a turkey and a cat.
It was the fuckn' cat.
Good sign that she can remember all those names though.

I have no idea what these terms mean but I believe your consulting skills are needed on every movie and tv show made in the last 10 years. I know I’m getting older, but I swear it’s not just me, dialogue is unintelligible on so many shows!
3
tombruzzo - 2w
That's a separate issue and I swear it's a choice by the streaming services like Netflix. The best workaround I can think of there is setting your audio to the Dialogue setting or getting a sound system with a centre speaker and turning that channel up

I found out why it's been so hard the past few years to change the bed linen
husband decided I didn't buy soft enough sheets so took it upon himself to do all the buying.
I closely inspected some of them last week when organising the linen closet, he had bought a size too small. 😐
Time to clean the stuff off the floor in my room and fix my broken Lego flower! It's so easy to do things when you don't have an all or nothing mindset
Also my laptop apparently has an up time of 53:07:34:28 which is INSANE
I'm sure it has died somewhere along the way

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 1w
Alright. So:
I found this YouTube video for doing vocal warm-ups. Sounds great right?
I did them and I sound fucking worse lol
Why?
Because I've learned to sing with a shit throat, making it clearer means I have to learn to sing almost from scratch.
Fuck all that.

Yo can you please send me that link? I want to learn to sing from scratch too and project my voice better
I have set up my new work laptop today - a few teething issues but we got there, not as hard as I thought it would be setting up access to email accounts and cloud drives. Upgrading from 8GB to 32GB RAM and a modern processor makes a huge difference.
