Synology make NASs now that are designed for transcoding plex streams. Eg the DS14Play or DS14+

I finally found a second hand push mower that wasn't complete poo poo or priced like a new mower. Thinking about starting up a patreon where you can donate money and I'll hand-mow a bespoke curse word into my 1.5 acre block and take a drone picture of it for you.

bear in mind I am right next door to a private airfield so this is prime curse world real estate

That sounds dope as hell but computerised blades flying around while the macropods are trying to get a feed in might be a hard sell to the missus, I’ll get back to you. It might realistically be easier, if a slightly longer process, to train a roomba with a raspberry pi box and some mechano fixed to it to drop horse pellets in the shape of the lettering

Tbh this is a terrible idea anyway. My proof of this assertion is that it’s functionally identical to the strike bowling bar instagram hashtag wound up with me posting a picture of me taking a slash and getting it splashed up on all the screens above each lane and I’m still not sure to this day if anyone saw it or if I’m on a list or what

Why does the word weeb upset people? (using the term people loosely)

it gets me because one day I just woke up and the word 'weeaboo' had been broadly appropriated to replace 'Wapanese', a perfectly fine extant term for Japanophiles, which is a shame because it then retrospectively recontextualised one of the best comics ever written for the internet.

I tried to get a cab home from the Tool concert last week after the huge storm hit. Uber was surge pricing and cabs were abundant and lined up waiting to go so we tried a cab.

the first guy wouldnt unlock the doors to let us in until we said where we were going. we said 'Pendle hill' which is like 10min on the motorway from the concert, max. he said no.

we tried another guy and he said the same thing saying 'I wont get a return fare its not worth my time'


yeah, Cant figure out why people prefer Uber over cabs.

A cabbie dropped my mate and and gf from the city to the Shire off in the loving middle of nowhere.

"Finished my shift." he said.

Took 'em hours to get home.

Someone retell that story about the taxi who didn't know that the car in front of them had a towbar and ending up wrecking the front of their taxi.

What about the dude that got into a taxi (cab) at Sydney Airport and asked to go to Camperdown (5 mins away.) and the taxi driver thought he said "Cambelltown" (90 mins wrong way, bad part of town).

Dude crashed out, possible desynchonisis.

i've only had two jobs that would classify as "dirty" and most people wouldn't argue with, one was the saturday/sunday yardie at the victory hotel and you'd spend your first 4 hours between cleaning jobs the cleaners outright refused to do for safety reasons, and replacing toilet seats. The other one was the blood sweep at the slaughterhouse. You just wandered around the drainage floor sweeping blood into drains placed around the room. I think the second one is objectively worse in every metric but those are the two jobs I leave off my resume bc the skillset was basically a willingness to tolerate awful working conditions and not much else apart from reasonably working hands and legs and major vital organs.

The random poo poo and blood cleaning at the vic was really truely insane though, way worse than anything I saw in any other place in hospitality. Absolute war zone stuff. I cleaned pubs and restaurants for years under contract, and on payroll and I never saw anything to that extent. I did the cleaning for a 200 seat fine dining restaurant that had a huge space and it took me maybe 2 hours max to do the whole thing solo, but that pub had a 6 person cleaning crew, a full wet-vac system that plugged into our cleaning chemical cupboard, and I'd still have to do at least 2-3 hours worth of cleaning those days if you count all the times I took a break to throw up and blast a cigarette.

Time intensive issues that cropped up a lot were

vomit in rental plants
poo poo in rental plants
used condoms broken in a rental plant


really just the amount of abuse I saw rental plants cop there was incredible now that I think about it. there were other things but those poor plants really did cop it.

I take back every bad thing I have ever said to you.

imagine if "gently caress" had overtaken "gently caress" in general internet parlance. Except instead of "gently caress", it was a word specifically formulated by a clever artist to be meaningless, then injected with meaning by the internet. And this all happened one day without you noticing. This is why I hate the word "weeb".

Waiting for coffee at my fav spot in the beaches near work

Pretty much entirely packed my stuff for the move tomorrow, except for the stuff in the fridge and freezer. Clearly I'm keen to get away from my overly pedantic housemate and into my own place

I think I was 95% packed bar the essentials by about Monday

Funny you say that, its only a couple streets from there. Barrel One coffee Roasters in brooky. Had a grouse pastrami sandwich from there that was "an homage to .... Deli in New York" that apparently must do a similar sandwich.

Tons of pastrami, some Dijon mustard, seeded mustard, dill and pickles. 12/10
Also had an almond croissant with apricot jam and a coffee.
Great spot, but I've found a place near my new house that has won several gold medals at the fine food thingo for their coffee

Narraweena deli was great growing up because they had all these off brand icecreams made by the local italian community which was huge. Nice old dude used to give me free stuff to take home to my sister who he knew was disabled
The place was still there a few years ago and still reeked like a deli should. I bought 3 different kinds of halvah

Sounds legit I’ll check it out next time I’m unfortunate enough to be in Brookvale. Japes aside the area is getting pretty dang nice. Apart from that playground that is on top of the cemetery that’s frightening.
