Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.

Browsing on aliexpress, it annoys me greatly when I see things, like my crocodile earrings I got for $40 here are sold for $6 , and yes, they are the same.

Mrs B’s PS5 honestly sounds like the disk drive is moments from death. Not real crash hot out of a 2 year old console.

Almost 20 mins on hold with Dell... Ugh. I also pressed 0 a bunch of times so I'm praying that I'm not in hold purgatory.

Edit: Colour me shocked. Call has been answered and I have been transferred twice without the call dropping out. The downside... The part I am trying to replace is a like a piece of speaker material that is tiny, split and damaged... And is not a spare part because in order to replace/fix it, it's likely I have to replace the whole rear cover... I just can't... It's a tiny slip of material stuck down by some sort of felt tape.

Sit. rep.: Zooks woke me up at 5:30, either because I needed painkillers or she wanted her breakfast, you decide.
Feeling good today albeit a bit tired and sore when I don't keep up with the painkillers. Did my first salt rinse with no ill effects.
In other news, my laptop charger finally arrived after the old one suddenly crapping out at 11 pm last Friday. Because of course it did. It's good to be able to use a keyboard again, ~~also some of the shows I arred only work via the laptop.~~

Just e-scooted with my backpack to the supermarket like the true city-dweller I am and spotted Aeroplane Jelly flavoured milks. They have raspberry jelly, mango jelly and lemon jelly flavoured milk. These companies know I can't not try their wacky brand mashups so I got a lemon jelly milk. Just so there's no confusion, it's not jelly-like at all, just flavoured milk. It's actually not bad too! Also stopped by the pharmacy to load up on pain meds because the anaesthetic from my dental work is starting to wear off and it is **not ** pleasant.
