Finished reading PHM! Probably skim read a bit much by the end but I was left feeling satisfied and looking forward to watching the movie!
It's a no go for me tonight guys. I just jogged for 5 secs to cross the road and my chest got tight.
Feeling wrecked now.
Fucking sucks, and I hope you all have a good night โค๏ธ
I too am out. I feel like I'm wearing a cheap wool bodysuit speckled with grass seeds and my nose is free leaking in allergy response. I was looking forward to this and all. I'm sure we'll have another thing soon enough.
Y'all are bitches lol
Nugguh I almost died lol
Oh bugger.
Rest up dude. there'll be anothery sometime I'm sure.
Partner is heating up a microwave meal that shouldn't have been thawed lol.

Broke the subby I think lol so that's now a glorified table and one of the speakers needs a bandaid but sounding good!
Currently competing w/ the tradies next door.
The first weight set has been delivered. Today's substitue weight workout will be carrying the weights in and unpacking them.

Mad dash to get things ready for today.

Don't want to end up back in the hospital.
Was looking forward to it though :(
We need you in good condition for the partay this afternoon.
True! I should be there by 6:30pm Looking forward to it!
I wonder how this is going to work with ticket inspectors... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-14/ticketless-travel-trial-set-to-start-in-victoria/106451108 are they going to ask you to log into your online banking to show the transaction? Because fuck that.
Mobile tickets just create a virtual Myki, so it's identical.
Contactless payments (e.g. credit and bank cards) should work the same way as TfL (and much of the rest of the world). The payment card card has no ability to store trip information, so instead the ticket system records your tap on/off events. At some predetermined frequency (usually overnight), it will then calculate the appropriate fares to charge.
Probably due to practicality reasons, the portable ticket inspection devices usually don't have live access to the data. Instead, they just record that your card was inspected, and if the overnight processing determines you didn't touch on, it flags you for fare evasion and bills the card the fine.

there is already phone tap payment on android systems, just not on apple
you can still use a ticket if you wish ( I do and I don't register the ticket either , I do pay by card but if I wanted to be completely anon I could pay by cash )
I think they have the ability to check using their own system if your payment method has an active fare against it. The system has to hold the info open so you can tap off again to finalise the actual amount you are paying.
Ahh that makes sense
