Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
What do people do for lunches? I’m having one of those days where I want something but I don’t know what. Stare in the fridge, stare in the pantry, decide I don’t want anything but know I’ll end up eating too many biscuits because I’m hungry. And I know it makes no sense to stare in the fridge and pantry, because I know exactly what’s in there because I did the shopping!
In the office today so it’s a sandwich (pickle and lactose free cheese),some fruit, a little cucumber and cherry tomato mix, and a little jelly cup.
Eggs. Scrambled, omelette, sunnyside up on toast.
Today I air fried a few dim sims and made a ketchup/aioli mixture dipping sauce
Soup and a sandwich. Both can be minimal - eg cupasoup and peanut butter. If you want to get fancy put a couple of slices of bacon in the peanut butter sammo.
Fry up some mushrooms, onions and sausages (or your choice of protein). Add eggs, mix vigourously. Put into warm tortillas and wrap them up.
Have a pickle/salad/sauerkraut on the side.
10 minutes from fridge to plate.
Nothing like having some hot fucken dal with fucken toast at TWENTY TO ONE IN THE FUCKEN’ MORNIN’
I really need to make sure I don’t loll around in bed til 12 this time lol. Feels like all I’ve done is bed -> bathroom -> work -> bathroom -> bed
A VB longneck is better
I haven’t fully naturalised yet, but I’ll get there.
VB is like the Vegemite of beers. If you weren’t raised on it as a kid, it’s basically unpalatable.
Don’t feel obligated to get there - I’m fully naturalised and I can’t stand the stuff. My first beer was XXXX. There are very valid reasons why we don’t drink those first beers again, they’re the cheapest at the bottle-o because they are awful.
Ha, don’t worry, it was all in jest - I’m much worse, I don’t even like beer at all and don’t drink much anyway so I’m pretty sure that precludes me from ever getting citizenship. 😆
Dal with toast is new to me. Must try.
My mum used to make sandwiches of it (albeit with fairly dry dal)! Also can use toast to scoop up dal instead. Toast is basically a holey second cousin of naan…
Catfish spider murderer to the rescue!
Hard this morning, but I maintain that this song is the best running song of all time - makes me feel like I’m in a montage.
I like exercising to
I’m running with a 150 bpm playlist. Fight for your Right is in there. Sabotage is too, but seems a bit quick. Looking it up Body Movin’ is apparently about 100.
Honey by Moby is another I like.
I’m going back a little but whenever this gets played on the radio I crank it up, just makes me feel good.
Eye of the Tiger
That is a good song
Eye Of The Tiger was created as the theme song to Rocky III because Queen wouldn’t allow Sylvester Stallone to use Another One Bites The Dust.

Interesting article.
When I first bought my car, a guy at the dealership made me a mp3 to play on the way home. It was full of pop shit but Eye Of The Tiger was hidden amongst them. I put it on repeat the whole way home. I had a new appreciation for that song.
100bpm is CPR IIRC.
This moment is the closest we may have ever been to legalising cannabis in Victoria.
If you think it’s reasonable and fair enough that we do, now would be the time to email Jacinta Allan.

Looks like the red christmas bows are slowly being rolled out in my area.
So I declare today… hot take thursday
Those bows are stupid.
And another hot take…
Anyone who get a fade hairdooo are secretly trying to make their head appear less big.
What you got against bows?
Also as someone with a huge melon we will do whatever it takes. Don’t head shame us big-brainers!
Truthfully nothing really.
But fades are a conspiracy by the AHC to keep you going back every 2 weeks.
I’ll vote for you. Where do I learn more about your policies?
Also, I hope today hasn’t hurt as much as you thought it might.
Next thurs. I’ll be updating my banal policy platform.
But yea… I really put my foot in it yesterday family stuff. I will update that too once the storm passes.
Banal for bottom being anal!
I thought it might be family stuff :( wishing you strength, definitely hits differently, difficult conversations can be particularly draining
Today will hurt for me.
but for the rest of us may it be kind.
You okay mate, or have you just eaten too many chillis?
Please shout if you need some support ❤️
hugs
Okay okay I’m playing Hot Take Thursday too.
I think trams are inefficient… they are so inflexible with rerouting, you can’t have express services, they can get majorly delayed by traffic, and because they can’t overtake, if one breaks down a whole lot get stuffed, and I still think it’s wild you often have to walk into the road to get on/off trams. And new routes are next to impossible to establish these days. I think people defend trams for the romantic charm but I think they are increasingly impractical for a city this size. Would rather see electric buses with bus lanes or fully separated light rail, not this worst of both worlds kind of thing.

Aggressively dings at you

Trams are garbage. They manage to be both shit trains AND shit busses.
This is a good hot take I like this.
been watching videos on narcissism 😔😟😭 every single emotion and thought and insecurity I have has now been pathologised
Friendo, while you might have picked up some maladaptive behaviours (maybe) an actual narcissist wouldn’t care.
It would just be everyone else that was wrong and no need to self reflect.
Just discovered this - upload an audio file and search for the animal/bird/reptile that is closest to it. A20 Acoustic observatory Full article on abc Could be a lot of fun when going bush/hiking.
There’s also BirdNET from Cornell University. Need to have data connection though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tu_chemnitz.mi.kahst.birdnet
Edit. Seems this might be the old version of the Merlin app.
I am vexed. My pipeline build at work keeps failing, leading to new commits for tiny changes, except finding a colleague to peer review/approve my pull requests is hard this week.
And now I’ve just spent half the evening failing to get an arm build of Fedora to boot on the RPi4. About to revert back to the default OS, but I could have done that hours ago! 😡
I understand hardly any of that, the grammar is too weird for me.

Oh my gosh you had a little helper ☺
he was reminding me it’s afternoon tea time
I love Ted.
I love his cheeks and intense expression 🐈⬛ 👀
That intense expression is insanity
I love him so much 😍
I have a two week cough (and counting). No signs of letting up, my voice is destroyed. The only good part of this is the cough medicine I got prescribed. It’s delicious and makes me feel woozy.
hugs
sleep and drink a lot of water

I had one of these when I was 20 and they gave me liquid codeine. That tasted awful though but forced me to go ni nighs. Not just a gentle “hey, wanna go to sleep?” but more like a “haha sleep time, idiot”. Magic stuff.
Ooooh, I gotta get me some of that
