    These have come up very nicely! No abrasives needed, just a damn good oil soak. Their weighting is perfect. Modern tools so oft suck.

    Pigeons are my favourite bird, of all the birds. I love their coo-ing sound they make, and how derpy they look.

    Plus, Australia has a bunch of native ones. My favourite is the Crested Pigeon - they have little mohawks and squeak when they take off.

    Look at these beautiful pigeons! https://www.australiaswonderfulbirds.com.au/pigeons

    Look at the superb fruit dove and see the beauty of pigeons lol

      For all we know a City of Melbourne employee installed a free trial 10 years ago using their work email. That tends to be how these logo showcases work.

        I think that’s how Slack and Atlassian got so many logos for their websites. Look through the free tier for recognisable brands and download the press kit

      That reminds me. I saw the other day you were saying your PC isn’t that great. I’ve got a spare i7 board and CPU you can have. Can send it to you via mail if you want it.

      It’s pretty much gathering dust. Not too old either. I just can’t remember the exact model of CPU.

      I’m an AMD guy now lol

    Nicest thing about weather like this is the fact that dickheads in their fart-ripping shitboxxen aren’t out and about making everyone else suffer for their insecurities. Usually it’s wall to wall look at me, ma! on a sat night.

      When I was in Adelaide in March we went to dinner at some rooftop burger place on Friday night. There was a dude in one of those cars without a lid that makes far too much noise blasting music driving around the block and revving at the lights (we were on a corner). It was so weird. I don’t understand what makes people just do loops of the block for hours on end… Who can even afford that much petrol!

    Anyone got any of that rain that was supposed to be bucketing down on us this morning? Dry as a bone outside, I see the forecast was reviewed to “late morning”… Looks like most of it’s gonna fall into the bay :/

      Apparently we’ve had 0.8mm since 9 here. It’s a little damp outside, and I can hear a few drops falling but it’s very light. It actually looks like the worst of it is hitting (and will hit) between Wallan and shepparton. Hope they don’t flood again

    Just had a look at the AFL ladder after tonight’s games. There are 6 teams on 32 points. If Hawthorn wins over West Coast tomorrow, they’ll join them for 7 teams. Even though they’ll have a crappy percentage. Next few rounds will be interesting.

      Apart from Sydney being well clear it’s a logjam down below and it’s been a rather strange season as well with teams dropping off badly and some teams coming back from nowhere like Hawthorn.

      Going to make the next few wins or losses very important for those teams.

        @Duenan @Thornburywitch Hawthorn is currently on 7 wins, with games still to come against West Coast, North, Adelaide, and Richmond.

        On recent form, percentage aside, I could definitely see them ending up in the finals…

    I’m looking for a tea caddy spoon and fell down a rabbit hole of T2 fancy teas and infusions and weighing and timing and i’m just like…dude i’m too fucking poor white for this shit. I shovel it into a giant pot, fill it with boiling water then strain out the gooblies with a sieve as my ancestors did.

    I’ve decided to quit vaping. I had to buy a shitty disposable today and it makes my chest hurt compared to the normal refillable ones I usually use.

    These things are really fucking bad for your lungs. Way worse than the refillables.

    Once again, Labor has decided to remove the safe option and keep the dangerous one available everywhere.

    All normal refillable vape shops close tomorrow for good. Well done Labor. Well fucking done.

        Cheers. I’m going through now and throwing out all the vape shit I’ve accumulated over the years. Will be nice not to be smoking/vaping anything for the first time since I was 15

    It’s the grand opening of the new dinosaur exhibition at the museum this weekend.

    One of my boys is a bit scared of dinosaurs but we’ll check it out anyway. He can join the dino dance at the end if he needs to get away from things

    I may have overindulged with my grocery shopping today.

    I have an odd mixture of stuff and not really a solid plan but needless to say I have a lot of chicken drumsticks and a lot of sausages.

    Also bacon prices went up I think. Also getting too expensive to buy :(

      I’m new to buying bacon as I have been making leek and bacon pies. Those pies are the most expensive to make. No idea how expensive bacon is meant to be. The bacon bits, while convenient, didn’t seem to be good quality so I buy big packets of Aussie rashers. $11 for 400 g, . I think that’s $2 a slice 🤷‍♀️ But those pies are real good and I make about 8.

        I bought 1kg for 12 from Aldi today. Short cut variety.

        Going to be using them in sandwiches with eggs. Maybe onion too but I need to keep the onions for the curry.

        It’ll be all worth it though.

    I like dogs but the fact is I’m allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.

    For some reason I’ve been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.
