Aaaaa I love those possums. They're so cute :3:

There's a baby currawong that has fledged from a nest in one of the trees in my backyard. The parents are quite vocal and land on the deck for a drink but I'm yet to get a decent picture of the baby.

I'm showing my age here, but back when I was a youngin I used to work in Telstra's customer support call centre, taking incoming calls from people reporting that their landline or payphone was faulty. The call centre was open 24/7, 365 days a year. I did that role for close to 3 years and the only time the calls ever stopped dropping in during business hours was during the cup. You'd get 15 or so minutes of quiet, blissful, customer free time then as soon as it was over the phones would be ringing off the hook again.

Hahahaha, whenever I got the occasional "I'm a Telstra shareholder and I shouldn't have to be kept waiting 3 business days for a technician to come fix my busted phone line" caller I'd tell them that if Telstra were to improve technician wait times, we'd need to hire more staff which would cut into profits and accordingly reduce their share value and they'd shut the hell up real fast.

I was living about 30kms outside of Newcastle city when the earthquake hit. The whole house shook and there was this low, long rumbling noise. I was only about 7 at the time so I just sat there looking out the window not understanding what was going on. Our house was fine, we were far enough out of town that nothing was damaged. But my grandma who did live in Newcastle was in the worker's club playing bingo, she was evacuated just minutes before the entire place caved in on itself.

The best story I've heard about the earthquake involves the old hospital in newy that used to be right up next to the beach. When the quake hit, they evacuated it and the muster point was literally on the beach so a non zero amount of anethethatised people woke up later on their gurneys looking at the ocean instead of the hospital ceiling and thought they'd died during surgery.

Most depressing pokie story I know is from the guy teaching the RCG course I did. A woman playing next to him wins some link jackpot of $250K and doesn't react at all, the guy is all "hey don't you see you just won a fuckton of money?!" and the woman replies "so what, I'm still in the red".

The Bunnings app has ruined every other store's online presence.

Bunnings - okay, it's aisle 53, bay 7. If it's in low stock in your selected store, would you like to see stock levels for that item in the nearest ten other stores?

Every other store - maybe we stock it, maybe we don't. Not gonna tell you poo poo, oval office.

Pretty sure IKEA's app does this. Their website definitely does.

And if you have alittle kid and are subjected to the morass of candy coloured mediocrity that is young childrens TV, then Bluey is a breath of fresh air. A breath of fresh air where the dad is voiced by a 90s Queensland Indie Rocker.

It's partially this, children's tv is mostly mindless flashing drivel generated to sell toys so when you get a show that's got some thought put into it, it stands out. I asked my almost ten year old why she likes it and she said that "both the main characters are girls, and they're just having heaps of fun all the time".

It's also super relatable but nuanced for the adults watching it, it touches on serious topics like death and infertility in ways that won't be obvious at all to kids but don't take any enjoyment or fun out of the episodes. There's heaps of gen x nostalgia and jokes. I mean, how can you not love a show that uses a trip to Bunnings as a plotline?

These baby devils are 5 months old. Once they're older they'll be released into the NSW conservation area managed by Aussie Ark. At the moment, there is too high of a chance for them to catch devil facial tumours and die if they were to be released into Tasmania

Yeah I was talking to the people from the local wildlife rescue today and they were saying that if you see a wombat out during the day it's not good. Apparently it's a sign they've got mange, because it makes their fur fall out and they get cold, so they have to go out into the sun to warm up

Thanks heaps! Love me some nostalgia calories.

Speaking of sugary delights, I'm headed down to Sydney this weekend and I'm looking forward to bringing a few jars of this back with me. For some reason they only stock it in particular stores, none of which are close to me. It's probably for the best, I'd make myself sick eating it all the time otherwise.

I remember another wild case where a dude was charged with smuggling heroin from China to Sydney and he had a pretty undisprovable defensive of "i got no idea how that poo poo got there someone stooged my rear end", but the language in the law accidentally omits "knowingly" from smuggling when it comes to heroin. You can accidentally smuggle anything else, but he got life in prison

Mate of mine got caught trying to smuggle from Hong Kong to Qld, did not pretend he didn't know it was there, got a 13 year sentence and made parole after five and a half. Life sentence seems full on, I would assume the dude who got life might have had a bit of a track record with other shady poo poo. Or he tried to smuggle an absolute fuckton of h.

My childhood home had a fireplace, my Dad got rid of it in the early 90's because he got sick of chopping wood for it. Maybe that's the cause of the Copperart demise, people just got sick of having to deal with fireplaces and didn't need those pokey stick things anymore

Ours was the enclosed combustion type with a little glass door on the front. I remember that it did a pretty decent job of warming up the house. You'd assume an enclosed fire would be more safe but my earliest memory is doing a forward roll in front of it, misjudging the distance and putting both my feet clean through the glass. It was summer at the time so I didn't burn myself and somehow didn't slide up my feet but my mum did slap the poo poo out of me for breaking it.
