Back down the beach for some Unkaos today..

Behold, Fijian clubbing weapons and a mask or whatever it is that have been in the cupboard for decades.

they do sort of look like they'd hurt.

I reckon I played cricket with the one on the left with some Polynesian kids years ago.

Research 'war hammer' sometime - those spikes are deadly.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

The best pizza shop in town was closed today. I'm hoping it's just temporary because there have been no updates and nowhere else comesc close

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahhh, thank you for reminding me to look into the closure of a place nearby! However I'm sure it was because it was an exxy place that I've never seen full and while good, not worth the $$$$

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 points 13 hours ago

This is like the best pizza in town. They didn't do much on social media and I'm not sure how things were run behind the scenes either

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love Sacred 2

Finally fixed the memory leak issue with a community patch. Runs like a dream, and now I can run around saying nonsensical shit like "I'm no snow white!" while slaying 30 kobolds for their heads. Yesss

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh! I used to love Sacred um...20 years ago. Or is this a diff thing?

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sacred is probably the first game, I have that too but never played it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_(video_game)

That's it. Was a ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธon horrid ex's machine. Oh well...

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks. They look ok and they are cooked . ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿง‡๐Ÿ“I'm going to serve with cream and fresh berries

What waffle maker did you get? Ours makes skinny floopy wastrels

Doing up a roast of rolled shoulder of pork - with roasted veg and some hot buttered leeks. Because it's Wednesday and why not. Kitchen smells amazing. Should be done by about 8 ish.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yummo! I did a mini roast pork and it turned out so yum!

Pork is so underrated, and done right it's freakin delicious. Mine turned out well, but the onions burned a bit too much and have to be composted. The hot buttered leeks were perfeck with the pork. And I now have meat already cooked for ramen, pasta and sammos for the rest of the week.

One of the males in this house is letting off deadlies in their sleep. I'm suffocating.

Took today off.

The load has gotten too heavy so I just wanted a breather before going back to normalacy.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

perfect day to sit on a heated blanket with a cat playing games.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hey, it's a scary thing, even if it probably isn't

For sure.

It's just the accumulation I think. Too much by myself. It'll pass in time. It always does.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

gonna get me an aldi welder. View these eyebrows while I still got 'em, folks.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Managed to finally fix the sump pump feeding the water tanks yesterday.

I had no idea what I was doing.

I is almost now smort and an expert in headscratching, swearing and savlon application.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

can't learn something if you know how to do it

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I'm halfway through pump shenanigans. Need to install the starter capacitor and silicone up the erosion through the motor casing. Then probably buy a new pump anyway.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

I ate some marshmallows and now i feel a bit yech

Happy World Lasagne Day!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I bought 25 cans of triple chilli tuna today. The man likes to take them for lunch and sometimes they are not there at Aldi but today they were.

[โ€“] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just had that for lunch. Wild.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What did you have it with?

[โ€“] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mix with chopped celery, hard boiled egg and mayo. Slap it in some bread for a sammich.

Today I removed AI from gmail. Again. Every time it updates it's switched on again.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

they must have pushed an update or saw stocks slump, it's all over our goddamn gsheets.

[โ€“] TheFailedNinja@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They keep asking me to upgrade to Gemini on every Google app

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Gemini has made asking Android Auto to do anything an absolute nightmare.

Big ups to the nice and apologetic train driver on the mernda line last night.

Our public transit operators are some real class acts.
