My previous account was @dumblederp@aussie.zone I left it because Rowling has turned out to be a pretty shitty person and I don't want the association.

Mostly I'm just here for idle friendly conversation over shared interests.

I can get caught up in my own stubbornness on some topics.

  • Sydney protests are our Minneapolis moment

  • With their first female leader gone, can the Liberals shake their 'women problem'?

  • It sounds like they have shaken their woman problem. /s

  • Communities for each state and territory

  • I don't think we're a big enough community to support it. The frugal and gardening communities championed by @melbabouttown barely see any action. I think most of it can be put into this community until it needs some division.

  • I used Calibre with my Kobo, but I can use Ghost Commander via my phone and pull them off the NAS directly which is so much easier.

  • Upstairs at the NGV is free and quiet-ish. Careful talking to the attendants, I made a joke with one about the exit signs and he wouldn't stop talking to me even as I was walking away saying "thanks, thanks".

  • Having an "entire packet" column would be useful for when someone eats the whole tub of ice cream or packet of biscuits. Eg, last time I checked a large Big M counted as two serves.

  • Fitzory and Collingwood in Melbourne used to be dingy cheap places to live and go out. There were a few boutique places that were more expensive. The last fifteen years its been taken over by overpriced venues. There's a KFC opening on Smith St and with a ~$8 chicken burger they'll be more accessible for many than $25 fancy eggs on toast. When I was in London, the first time I went to Oxford St (the monopoly st) it was full of franchise food and retail. It's not like the artists who made the area "cool" can afford to live there anymore anyway. Just the NIMBYs who've bought into the trendy vibe and don't want lower class franchises dragging their suburbs image down.

  • I'd be down if free. If you don't feel like hosting we could always do a city meetup for the Westies.

    Edit: We could organise Uber pools home for people in different areas.

  • Yeah, malaka self-serving politician. Easy to poo poo on Labor from the sidelines, no way he's gonna tank his fortune.

  • I'm only interested in 6v6 no role queue Overwatch, but that exists in whatever I installed two days ago. I pretty much skipped Overwatch 2. I'm giving it another go with the new changes as it's free to try. Had a few games, people still can't team up for shit but I had fun.

  • Overwatch works too FWIW.

  • what is the highest refresh rate and resolution OLED monitor i can get?

    Jump

  • I was reading that LG panels are slightly faster than Samsung. Them being the only two makers of OLED, all the other companies use their panels.
