Well. I got logged out again and couldn’t get back in. Am now TheWitchofThornbury3. And ThornburyWitch during working hours. Whyyyyyyyyy?
The queen is dead. Long live the queen.
irises.
I was expecting a close up of an eye lol
Me too. Not disappointed though, this is pretty too!
The colours are lovely!
ee lovely!
Beautiful. 😊
Got some meshtastic boards, they arrived yesterday and I managed to get both set up and connected. Also managed to solder a battery from an old rechargable lamp onto one of them so it’s portable. never soldered before so it was an experience but nothing exploded. Now today I can fiddle around with it while planning the next stages
“Nothing exploded” is generally a good way to go!
That’s generally my benchmark for a good day lol
Okay so I didn’t know what meshtastic is until I just looked it up, it sounds cool af tbh.
Its all pretty new to me, but I loved the concept, even if I understand almost nothing yet lol. I think it was about 60 dollars for the stuff needed to make 2 nodes so not free, but cheaper than Lego lol
nice to see mention of mesh here 😁
but you won’t find many people on Meshtastic anymore. #meshcore is where it’s at 😎
Meshcore does look awesome, but fully new to the whole scene and meshtastic covers the needs for my first few projects, definitely going to check out meshcore once im more comfortable.
yes, Meshtastic can be useful for certain kinds of projects! Community and shared mesh build is generally happening in meshcore now (a year ago the situation was pretty much the reverse) - we are now regularly talking to Sydney, and occasionally Tasmania, and folks that are excited about that bigger mesh are mostly running meshcore now 😊
Be careful soldering batteries. Invest in some battery holders.
Definitely plan on upgrading the safety level before the next project, but very good suggestion about battery holders, thank you.
Also keeping a very close eye on it over the next few weeks for any swelling or warmth.
Started a new casual office job last week. Scared but grateful because it will hold me over until I start FT. I’ve been finding that by the time I get home and eat dinner, there isn’t much time for anything else, which isn’t great because I have a degree to get done. But I will get there.
Will go shopping for better work wear when I get paid.
Congrats on the new job!
Don’t go to Kmart for work wear, it’s cheap but shit quality imo these days. Try thifting if you can, or target at least. Find something comfy that won’t cut into you while at work.
Thank you!!
What kind of work wear?
Business casual I think
Op shops for sure.
just more organising stuff today
feels a little overwhelming so I will just do easy but still necessary everyday chores
and will do some reading too
The dog and I play this game around 4pm everyday. He stands beside me. I stare at him. He runs to the kitchen for a feed when I move a body part. He wonders why I haven’t followed him. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. He whines. I out stare him. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
3 minutes to 5
Bill starts herding the humans into the kitchen and the fridge where the food is
Cats have the most amazingly accurate clocks
Oh man. I dislike demanding people and pets.
I make an exception for pets and children because they rely on adult people for their necessities
My dog knows what he’s doing.
I relate
There gets to a certain time of day where as soon as Boyo moves, Alfie RUNS to the kitchen and starts meowing. Then after dinner it happens again because he either thinks we’ll have forgotten, or we’ll put him in his room with a snack.
Yes!!! My dog is a scammer too. He acts the starving dog but we always communicate with “the dog’s been fed”.
but you do feed him
New Melbourne airport drop-off review: well it couldnt be worse then before. There’s a lot more infrastructure - signage was good but the uber navigation app was a bit confused. All the parks are set up parallel to the footpath which kinda relies on people’s ability to park like a grown up. In practice we were kinda on a nose in angle because people were just sorta landing where they wanted. Lots of lifts and escalators to get down to the bit where you walk across. That was super quick. So 6.8 /10 hobbits
It seems someone in our slack team at work has managed to find an emoji version of the ‘its fine’ dog-on-fire. Logged in after a few hours offline to see it everywhere… was that kind of day.
That’s the one!
Bill Cat is snoring
Good night everyone, may you dream of birds and mice and playing in the garden 😺
Happy National I Love You Day ❤️
This is the easiest day to celebrate since I love you all too. 🥰
I love you, DT thread!
Love all of youse too.
By contrast, and affectionately speaking when’s go fuck yourself day?
Let’s make it tomorrow.
Do we actually need a special day for that?
I love youse.
well that is something you don’t hear everyday
we went to library to drop off some batteries and electricals for recycling and we had a look around , we heard two guys using computers introduce themselves
one guy said he was the Imperial Emperor of Russia , and meant it, other guy said , In Australia? First guy said Australia too. Not everyday you witness a schizophrenic with delusions. I imagine it would be really debilitating 😔
I imagine it would be really debilitating 😔
It is. Untreated schizophrenia can ruin people’s lives easily, it’s easy to become homeless, addicted to drugs, lose a job, be taken in by a cult or just straight up taken advantage of.
personal anecdote
But it’s also sad, even with support they can still just refuse treatment if they’re not a threat to themselves or others. My mum isn’t violent (except a couple of times), she’s just utterly lost in her delusion. A special kind of delusion that reinforces her idea that getting help will actually hinder her abilities: she believes she’s psychic and communicate with spirits and angels, she also believes she can see evil spirits and demons. On medication she cannot see or hear anything, so she thinks the meds are blocking her psychic abilities, so in order to stop the evil American psychics from psychically assaulting her, she has to be able to perceive the threat so no meds.
Can’t reason someone out of an idea they didn’t reason themself into.
so many many hugs for you all
I can’t see much but suffering for every one involved
I have finally gotten around to submitting my tax return.
