Ah yes, seen that quite a few times. My solution is a loopback 4K capture card in my main system. Of coure this is overkill for a meme, but yeah... I have 'reasons' to do direct external signal capture to bypass DRM.

Or just get non drm-encumbered files from.... places....

It works but it's pretty crap apart from that.
If you don't use it everyday it's hard to top up, and there's no function for credit cards or phones.
It's insecure (in a way that doesn't really matter, but still) and the balance is carried by the card itself.
The cards are extremely flimsy and the parking meters are unreliable.

They are currently in the process of setting up a new system that will just use EMV cards so you don't even need a smart rider.
If you pre load balance it will use that otherwise it'll just charge your card.

That seems insanely high. I got one and I was already yikes at the $200 price tag which was helped out by insurance a bit.

Yeah 3k seems more like what you'd a palate widening appliance or something rather than a bite splint

My current one is 3d printed nylon (which is so much more comfortable than the acrylic ones I've had in the past) and the 3d scans and followup appointments were included in the $600 cost before insurance.

Over the years my out of pocket on them has been around $250, but they last 3-7 years. Unless it's like my first one that I chewed to pieces in 3 months because it was a softer material.

Disadvantage of the nylon is that it has to be sterilized regularly because the surface isn't smooth, the acrylic just needed bushing and occasional descaling.

Aldi have knock off cool cabanas for sale tomorrow. No idea if they're anywhere near as as good as the real deal but they're probably worth a go at that price point. I might get one of the mats if I can psych myself up enough to deal with the inevitable shitfight of a crowd that'll be there tomorrow morning



If they are anything like the other knockoffs they are missing the actually important design bits that make cool cabanas amazing: the hammer-in spike and arms that fold down one at a time.

All the knockoffs I've seen are just normal beach umbrellas but square with Velcro on sand pockets for the corners.

Food scraps and garden waste goes in green so it's most likely to stink. Recyclables take up most of the rest, including most food containers. Non recyclable, non organic waste is hardly anything really. It goes out once a fortnight, sometimes once a month cos there's barely anything in it

The FOGO thing is great, garden bin every week means we don't have to do a tip run for the Kurrajong leaves every summer.
The only downside is our red bin (which we get a full size) every fortnight has nappies in it and holy hell that gets ripe in summer.

Is there a secret trick to up your 2-minute noodle game? Like, adding extra cheese or egg or something? And keeping it lazy and cheap, of course - I'm not suggesting a good option is to slip a lobster under it.


Firstly don't buy garbage tier like Maggi, buy something better like shin ramyun or whatever

Then adding some chilli oil once its in the bowl and a handful of extra veggies or kimchi or whatever - I tend to add some onion slices and cabbage, but it depends on what I have in the fridge.

Another pro move is to finely grate some fresh ginger into the bowl and pour the soup over that, really freshens up the soup base

Absolute psychopaths.

You wouldn't pay a casual that called in sick anyway.

Casuals don't need sick notes . It's kind of in the definition of the thing that they don't have to give notice to cancel shifts.

Obviously the flipside is that a casual that doesn't show up when rostered too much will just not get rostered on.
