Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Today I need to tidy & clean my whole house. So far, I'm on my second pot of tea. Going well.
Me too! I pulled everything out from under our beds to vacuum and decided I hated having stuff stored under the beds. Makes it hard to vacuum the dust. So it's been lined up one side of the hallway for weeks while I very occasionally chip away at it, which is also making it hard to vacuum 🤦🏻♀️But the coffee and shortbread session #2 is underway lol.
I'm gonna be cooking a chooko in the airfryer using native herbs and spices. Please pray for it to be juicy and tender.
Every piece of chicken I have done in the air fryer has turned out great. I think the high convection makes the cooking more even and avoids some of the over cooked dried out spots that can occur in a normal oven.
Legend, that's gonna taste awesome! Lemon myrtle is I think one of my most favourite flavours ever. One place I worked at years ago made chicken and lemon myrtle Boscastle style pies swoon
Nice haul! Cheaper Buy Miles? They had 1kg wheels of brie for $15 yesterday and people were buying them 2 at a time, as fast as they could restock. Was sorely tempted.
It is indeed CBM, so this pile cost less than some single blocks! Missing a good stinky cheddar and maybe some spreadable goat, but otherwise sorted for the whole party season 😺
That place is a goldmine of inexpensive goods! I bought some relish there for $1 a jar, and the Bonne Maman was I think 2ish dollars a jar! Yass!
I’m rather fond of playing noodle roulette: package image implies spicy but can’t read a single word on the thing. Yes!
I'd like to give thanks to all those workmen out there who don't remove all their signs when they finish work. My cherry tomatoes are being supported on stakes supplied by Yarra Valley Water, my raspberries have a trellis made from a sign from an unknown road contractor, and the same sign provided corflute panels which are protecting the fence from built up garden beds.
update: Visual artificing suggests migraine . Disregard
(I get fucking cluster headaches on occasion, a migraine is actually very very little to me)

Special extra large meal for botbot
🔋
The pizza I had for dinns last night was dodgy - so some gastrostop and a dingo's breakfast please.
Worth it for an experiment - skin maybe a bit softer? but my bedding smells like butter now
It's my second last night out here before I return to Melbourne. A beautiful cool day and as the sun sets I can hear the lyre birds making their laser gun/magpie/alarm noises and feel an immense sense of peace.
Sadly, I did not finish off the last bit of outstanding work due to patchy internet and no electricity in the cabin (and, tbh, not being remotely in the mood for it while away). But I'm starting to see a way forward where I can finish it off when I get back with a sense of positivity and appreciation and relief at completing this part of life, rather than resentment and aversion and anxiety because I didn't finish it on time.
Oh my golly gee gosh moses. That was the most juiciest chook I've ever eaten. Even the breasts which I usually avoid. Time for a nap.
Happened a few years back but, just now reading about a school lunch chef in Nebraska fired for adding kangaroo meat to the chilli.
•
What was the complaint? People don't want to unknowingly eat roo? I doubt whatever it replaced was legally classifiable as meat anyway.
Yeah the roo was too “exotic” for the school lunch program and therefore unsuitable.
Basically just ignorance about the product. Which is ironic for a learning institution.
Apologies in advance, but the Lemmy upgrade appears to have broken the bot's ability to post - it is trying, but it can't actually connect to any communities for some reason. ☹️
If one of the nightowls could make a post at midnight that would be great - we can declare it "Manual Monday" and I can poke at the programming tomorrow when I have had some sleep.
It'll possibly be an Auth issue with the bot, I was getting those when browsing since the upgrade.
All you might have to do is feed the bot a new set of creds and let it eat a new token :)
I could be completely wrong as I am guessing based on my user experience!
Yeah there was, and if the community of devs maintaining lemmy is even mediocre, they'll not to do breaking API contract changes. Hence me thinking the bot is just having authentication/authorisation issues (I'm a very very experienced software dev)
Basically the bot might have forgotten it's key card to get in to the office and the office rules haven't changed
There were initially issues with logging in, but I got that sorted out. IIt's now giving an error message when trying to connect to the individual communities, so something may have changed there. None of the other community bots seem to have posted daily threads today, so I guess it's not just my dodgy bot having issues with the change. The last major upgrade to Lemmy made some API changes that broke a lot of things, so it is definitely possible they have done the same again.
I was hoping to get some working code for the post sorted out today (based on working code from other communities) and then work on the cron stuff to trigger it (standby for questions regarding that, I am likely to have some!). But it is likely to take longer if everyone's bots are having the same issue.
Urgh... Good devs do not make breaking changes so I feel really sorry for you and managing the bot.
I'm always happy to help and have a load of free time later this week and through in to late Jan to support you if you need it. Defo have a hack at it first though, it's the best way of learning this stuff IMO.
The good news is I think I've fixed the logon/community connection problem. The bad news is I think I broke the part of the code that does the actual posting, so while I'm not getting any messages now it's also just not doing anything!
I didn't do the figure drawing exercises. Just started something with my approximation of it.
Fuck it we ball
So it was just cold enough for a fire and I had a lot of old notebooks and course notes to burn.
The cats are very happy.
I know what you meant, but 'squiting' sounds like something you do when you're lactose intolerant and... indulged. 😂
"Th Lost City" was bloody awful. What a waste of time
Brad Pitt's 5 minute cameo showed he really is good. A few of the jungle scenes were pretty.
I give this movie 1/2 hobbits , for Brad Pitt and the jungle.
If you want a similar but good adventure movie that is fun to watch Romancing the Stone on Disney.
So why did this movie stink? The world view stunk. No one is nice, no one has good intentions, there was no one to identify with, and the shit the main characters did was just too unbelievable. The dialogue stunk and was delivered poorly.
Was a little bit of a unremarkable movie from what I remember when I saw it.
I watched Rush (2013) last night.
I enjoyed it for what it is despite not knowing anything about F1 history.
I’m not good at deep dives into evaluating movies.
