Another scorcher today Melburnios 🔥
Another scorcher today Melburnios 🔥
Aradina, New computer parts arrive today and it’ll be too hot to do computer work.
I got this massive tempered glass computer case as a gift and let me tell you it isn’t worth it.
Duenan, Tempered glass computer case?
That sounds really fragile?
Aradina, I forgot to reply to this, but it’s a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL case a friend gave me a few years ago. The front and side panels are glass, and it’s about twice the width of a regular case to fit the power supply and drive bays in their own special areas.
bull, Just a quick reminder that Saturday (and every February 24) is International Coriander Hatred Day for those of us who celebrate it.
Fuck coriander 🖕
Seagoon_, How do I know if I have the gene? Coriander tastes slightly bitter to me.
CEOofmyhouse56, I prefer to put it on my food.
Bottom_racer, I feel sorry for the soap people.
Losing the genetic lottery is just unfair.
StudChud, Tastes like soap to me, but I still eat it idc haha
Bottom_racer, That’s the spirit!
Embrace nature’s imperial leather :)
bull, I do and I don’t. I do because there’s a chance they could’ve liked it but I don’t because it’s terrible anyway.
Catfish, I shall have a giant bowl of something Thai to memorialise you.
tone212_, Can you be indifferent to coriander? I neither like it or hate it.
wscholermann, I’m convinced that all CEOs and those in equivalent leadership positions are psychopaths and it’s only a matter of degree as to how strongly they show those traits.
CEOofmyhouse56, Yes
tombruzzo, I think there’s a study that shows a greater concentration of sociopaths in executive level positions.
bananafungus, Statistics would say you are almost correct, a pretty large number of CEOs exhibit psychopathic tendencies.
Thornburywitch, Welcome to the wonderful world of cutthroat corporate competition. Capitalism encourages this sort of thing.
Dalek_Thal, Not me wondering why aircons aren’t minimum standards for all rentals. Cat threw up four times last night because she just can’t cope.
When the cat can’t cope, there’s a big fucking problem - they’re desert animals!
Mittens_meow, Summer is only 3 months of the year. Having said that, my investment property has an aircon and ducted heating.
Taleya, Summer is defined as three months of the year.
March and april get into the 30’s easily
Dalek_Thal, Alas mate, that three months is dangerous for both people and animals. When it comes down to it, having one quarter of the year being unlivable is not remotely reasonable.
Glad though you have your investment property properly set up for all seasons, imo that should be the standard across Australia, not the exception.
wscholermann, Are they? Surprises me since they have a that fur. But I guess the desert can very cold at night.
Dalek_Thal, Indeed! I was shocked too when I found out - turns out their fur is light enough that it acts as insulation against both heat and cold, which is impressive. That’s why they don’t drink much water straight up - they evolved to pull moisture from their food instead
dumblederp, I may eat my words, but I’m not too phased by the heat until it kicks over 40.
CEOofmyhouse56, I was sleeping ok until someone came into my room asking if they should stay home from school today. We need to have another talk about not disturbing mother unless there’s a fire. 😡
bacon, -starts fire-
mum can i stay home today
CEOofmyhouse56, She doesn’t need permission to stay home. She gets the guilts for having a sickie.
Taleya, We must find who gave her these guilts and sit on them
CEOofmyhouse56, Don’t worry I’ve already had the talk with her about not being one of those people. She can wfh today, no big deal.
Thornburywitch, Just looked at the bom website - Melbourne’s forecast top temp is the highest in Australia …
Force_majeure123, Did you guys see about the scientists who had managed to actually weigh a rainbow? It was pretty light
bull, This is excellent. I was just thinking the other day that I was sad because I hadn’t heard a good new joke in a long time but this has brightened my day, thank you
SpinMeAround, Yessss, thank you!! I just got my boss real good with this one!
Seagoon_, Sky pretty
dumblederp, cracker this morn.

Force_majeure123, Fried rice with prawns please - but actually add some flavour to it, unlike this place I went for lunch yesterday 😞
bacon, 🦐🍚🌶️🌶️🧄🧅🌶️🌶️
Catfish, Whatever they serve in those ice castle bars thanks
bacon, 🧊☃️🧊
just_kitten, Today I will deign to consume a cucumber for hydration purposes
And other such primarily water-based foods
Thornburywitch, Can’t go wrong with watermelon.
just_kitten, Not normally a fan but I’d eat it today if offered. Only if cut up nicely. Hate the feeling of sticky juice running down my chin, even if it’s Quintessential Summer
bull,
Thornburywitch, Sprinkle the slices with freshly ground black pepper - gamechanger.
RustyRaven, When I was in Peru I came accross a food cart selling cold watermelon by the slice. It was absolutely wonderful and I wish we had things like that here.
Thornburywitch, Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, and hot coffee please. Gotta carb load before it gets too hot to eat, or my brain will cease functioning. If it hasn’t already.
bacon, 🥞🥓🍯☕️
Catfish, Strange sleep utterance of the day: people are all duct tape
Gibsonisafluffybutt, Good luck tonight everyone. Especially to those of us who can’t open windows because their cat will destroy the flyscreen…
Catfish, Ah, you’ve been here then
Gibsonisafluffybutt, Don’t get me wrong, I love the little gremlin, but fuck me it’d be nice to get a breeze going in the house sometimes.
I did it once when she was at the vet and that was it pretty much.
Taleya, Fakken ants are doing my head in. Anyone got recs for pest control companies?
Catfish, Avoid the pros and just mist up a shit ton of pennyroyal?
Taleya, Bit beyond that. Building some ant bait traps as we speak. The fuckers are getting into the litter box now
Catfish, If only they’d clean it for you
Seagoon_, Bill and Ted are having a great time hunting crickets. :)
Seagoon_, in the lounge room
Catfish, Ah
just_kitten, Godspeed to those of us with warmer than expected rooms
