Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Stopping by for a life update because it’s been a while.
- PhD is submitted and I’m in limbo for now
- still very overworked
- my worst fears have been realised. the three (3) pear trees that are in the front and back yard at this house are, indeed, the cum variety
- I’m reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built this weekend and it’s such a fucking delight. One of the best things I’ve read all year, and I’ve read over 40 books now.

What’s new with you guys. I’ve missed you ❤️

Hearty congratulations on the PhD, I’ve missed seeing you around! Boo re: overwork though.
The cum trees are a menace. If I were you I’d don a face mask and gloves and try and strip out the flowers, that’s how vindictive I am…
Aaand the photographer rocked up 2 hours early, and apparently the brides make up artist is an hour late aaand we’ve the booked the cab too late even though it’s going to be early.
Fuck this noise if I meet the right someone it’s just going to be at the BDM and take about 5 minutes.
Run, you’re about to get put on makeup duty
He did a great job with the flowers, can’t wait to see how he goes with the brides make up!
Hooray bros wedding went well.
Nice venue, nice people, good night, no mishaps.
Love it when a plan comes together! Congratulations to them both. Was the champagne flowing?
It really worked! The booze was flowing. Was fun to see.
Oooh bro’s big wedding day. Did the flowers make it through the night in the venues cold room?
Just dropped last night that they’re coming around for photos in the garden (!) and need nibbles heh. Honestly this better be the last surprise.

What do they think you are? A 7-11. Flowers, nibbles you’re going to be asked for petrol soon. Anyway enjoy your day. Make sure you eat your body weight in food. Get your moneys worth.
heh yep you called it!
If they ever announce they’re having kids, draft up a watertight contract/t&c document asap before you become their defacto dad. Maybe try and wangle it so that they have the screaming toddler and you get to keep bboi butters.
I knew we were on to something!
Some drunk legend left me some leftover Massman curry in the fridge om nom nom nom
First snowpea harvest of the season
They are so perfect they almost look AI generated
Beautiful!

And across Thornbury, a massed chorus of lawnmowers are singing the song of their people. I plan to do mine during the GF next weekend, heh heh heh. I am evil.

My neighbours opposite play the trombone - maybe we can co-ordinate.
I love how the communities have grown on Aussie zone but I wish there was a food one. Get some ideas what to cook because that’s my favourite part of the DT.
Making it would take me moments. Want to mod it?
What would you call it? I kept our TV and Music communities deliberately Australian. Someone in the USA looking for a “music” community is never going to find /c/rage. Do you want to do something similar or would you call it something that will attract International engagement?
Tucker/Smoko
Lol
It’ll be good to call it Grub but might get the wrong clientele. Lol
I would call it Food Australia. I don’t know the first thing about moderating. I have trouble working out my TV control. Could I mod from my phone? What would moderating entail? I had trouble starting the dt before Bot #1 arrived. Like seriously 5 year olds know more than me.
Assignment update: need more coffee
Edit: coffee aquired. Unfortunately it refuses to write my assignment for me and I still need to do it myself.
If only coffee was so wondrous it could do that.
It can do a lot of things but sadly not that :(
Unless you fall into a coffee hysteria and start getting the jitters.
I have fallen in to the too much coffee trap before, and only allow myself more than my initial morning dose in exceptional circumstances. Fortunately the extra jitteryness of the caffeine seems to have worked and I managed to plough through the rest of the assignment. I might do a quick review before I submit it this evening, but I can now relax. Just in time for my next subject to start tomorrow!
Another glorious day in Melbourne today. A top of 24° and a low of 13°. Currently it’s 12°. Please enjoy your day. ☺
I went from having the fire going to having the windows open.
Hahaha. It was a chilly start to the morning but outside was lovely.
WHY WON’T I GO TO SLEEP
Brain OFF. SHUTDOWN. shutdown.exe /h /f
SIMPLISTICALLY ALT F4 THE SYNAPSE.
Okay so I haven’t yet flashed a new ROM on my phone but I’m glacially getting there, backed up all images and downloads.
Also commenced an epic campaign of cleaning the house - not a true spring clean, but have relatives popping by this evening and they’d better not see the current state of my shower recess, esp as they might be staying here while I’m away. Plus it’ll be nice to come back to a clean house after my upcoming trip.
Helps work off the anxiety about what kind of response I might get back from work on Monday. It doesn’t affect me as much as before as I’m almost done with that part of my life now but you know, it’s not easy to completely rewire the neural circuitry that tries to cope with easily angered people in positions of authority
Which ROM?
Switching from an extremely old/abandoned resurrection remix (still running android 7 lmao) to Lineage 20. I need to do a total factory reset.
I have LineageOS 20 on my tablet and iodéOS (which is a fork of LineageOS) on my phone. They both run great so hopefully you have a similar experience and can enjoy your 7 year update! Good luck!
I regret not backing up the old rom like I was supposed to when I did this. :(
The main thing I’m afraid of is bricking the phone. Don’t care as much which ROM I end up using as long as it is recent enough and decent enough…
The ROM I tried didn’t work and I didn’t have a backsies backup of the original ROM. Now I have a brick.

Maybe . . . just maybe, if neo-nazi’s are coming out to support your side of the debate . . . you might actually be one of the baddies.
Yes… for those who want to vote No… look at who else is voting No. That should be enough to tell you which way to vote.
