💕 Happy Tay Tay Day 💕
So I’ve joined the club
A family friend brought over a coffee machine yesterday. He wasn’t using it and thought we’d like it. LIKE it‽ Was so excited for it when the kids sent me a pic of it on the bench… grabbed some Grinders on the way home and OMG it’s like drinking a coffee flavoured cloud!Ooooooooh fancy
Yeah, I was a coffee maker (the word “barista” wasn’t around when I started) for around 11 or 12 years but always resisted getting a machine at home because cost but also I thought I’d end up being a bit of a wanker about it 😆
Now that’s a great quality of life addition - great for the wallet too
After midnight, the air is silent,
The crickets chirp, the birds are quiet.
Hear the low hum of passing cars,
The beat and thrum of guitars in bars.
Occasionally a cry will break the night,
Or giggles will follow the sound of a light.
The sound of bottles being thrown away,
The bar downstairs is done for the day.
Come three in the morning, or even one,
The club’s will close, they’re all done;
The patrons will flood the street to phone,
A rideshare to drive them all the way home.We have green lights across the board…
All systems on line ✅⚡️
Not if you mean Aussie zone. I’ve had to dig up my .ee account to get in
Raise shields, arm weapons and prepare for evasive maneuvers.
Anyone else resorting to running the heater in the morning? Im chucking on shorts and a t when i get up, but finding really I want a hoodie and trackies till 10:30/11. So Im just chucking on the heater for halfa. The solar mostly covers it anyway.
I’ve got my windows open and in shorts and t-shirt. Wife and kids are rugged up a bit though.
Good character building for them.
Yep. Gotta take the chill off the air.
Nope.
I put a beanie on yesterday morning with my shorts and T-shirt. This is how I regulate my warmth in summer. The mornings have been feeling a bit autumnal.
I’m eternally hot so I sleep with no cover in jocks lol
Back! Um did this site defed .ee
So that would be a yes
Testing ha ha yeah
Brief peek at reddit while lemmy was down and yes I prefer staying here
Ha same!
What did I miss bacon?
just a little grumpiness

I’m SO sick of this Taylor Swift talk. Nothing against her, I like some of her stuff. But this “will she become president” and “OMG she’s landed in Melbourne” is just so tedious. You know who else is here? The Blink 182 boys! But there’s no need to bang on about it. Do people really not have anything else to talk about?
I’m more interested in hearing peoples thoughts on a their last coffee than I am their thoughts on a celebrity.
I hear you dude. She’s some weird bastion of white feminism, so I have to hear about her all over the place.
Billionaires aren’t your friends people.

Not a bad price!
My last coffee was about 4 hours ago. Large cappuccino, extra strong, lite milk, no sugar. I didn’t have to wait for a machine because there’s TWO there. Paid by card. Anything else you want to know?
Legit anything beyond whos consuming like 20 of melbournes top 25 tracks on apple music right now.
What’s the difference between the hype of U2 OR Madonna touring back in the day, or even the Beatles or the Stones. Just a modern take.
It comes to taste probably. The artists you listed were quite unique and groundbreaking for their time. TS is a run of the mill pop singer that’s not really different in a sea of other pop stars.
theres nothing wrong with pop per say. i mean I certainly dont understand todays pop, but if you go fish out my ipod that hasnt been updated in 10 years I’m prepared to bet it has tons of 90’s-00’s pop. It just feels a lot like you know how little kids can ONLY talk about the thing they love and are so excited about? That, but with teenagers/20 somethings it becomes a bit more tedious. I’m not hear to shame other peoples interests, theres a special place in hell for folks who do that. But I also don’t run around pretending I’m captain of the enterprise or telling everyone how Dune Pt1 was a cinematic masterpiece either.

Bahahaha. Snorted out my beer at that.
When WrestleMania came to Toronto in the early 90s and the main event was Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate warrior, it was front page news in all the papers.
The hype leading up to it lasted months. Even people that didn’t care for wrestling knew of it.
This swift thing feels the same.
Social media i suspect. People feel like they have a connection with celebs these days. Its… disturbing. Especially the was some of them cultivate it.
Careful now the swifties keep lists of the people who make these sorts of comments.
I’m confident I can remember the lyrics to “You belong with me” so I assume I’m safe from the purge.
Monkey’s paw granted. Taylor Swift will now talk about Melbourne’s coffee.
Taylor Swift will now talk about Melbourne’s coffee.
If she gets some places to lift their game I’m all for it.
Thats gotta be the worst thing about touring. Do you send an advanced scout to check out good coffee places for you? Or do you just take a punt each time you go to a new city.
From my experiences finding coffee in the USA, she’ll love Melbourne. Honestly, the calibre of the coffee there is appalling.
Staff meeting the other day got derailed by her. I’ve heard of the woman but honestly couldn’t name a single song. Am old?
I too don’t know a single song, not even a song title
And nobody has mentioned the humidity in days??
We’re all about the heat in Perth. I think yesterday was our 5th >40° degree day for February. Sunday is forecast to be our 6th.
No humidity to speak of, at least.Storm sucked up all the weather talk and deployed it at force between Caulfield and Westall. Or at least that’s Metro’s story.
I expect it’s because you’re in the same city she’s in. The level of Taylor Swift noise in Perth is quite manageable. We know she’s in Australia, and we know she’s not coming to Perth. There’s probably more noise about Pink who is coming to town in a couple of weeks.
As I watch these lion dancers doing their thing, I can’t help but wonder: What’s the connection with China and Lions in the first place? Were Chinese importing lions from Africa thousands of years ago? Any why are Lions the symbol of England for that matter?
I’d have thought Tigers would have been a lot closer to China, at the very least.
Lions for England is an accretion of earlier arms of bits of land they owned at some point. Eg. Aquitaine. it’s built up the same way the ‘Union Jack’ is = St. Patrick, George & Andrew.
There’s a good post on askhistorians about the England bit.
wikipedia said a Han dynasty emperor got gifted a lion
there would have been lions in Central Asia
Sorry, I’m going again. John Stewart back at The Daily Show (really like the other new host too!). Trailers for new X-Men '97 and Invincible S2 pt 2. Tv got good again!
Any recs on how to watch the Daily Show without a streaming subscription?
⭐piracy⭐
I just watch clips on Youtube sadly
Aww they tried to hide this under the “read more” section on the listing…
$500 a week for a leaky garage and some cooling you absolutely know is not getting fixed anytime soon.
I’d be informing vcat and the police.
That is not in any way legal.
My god that’s so disgusting. These people are scum.
It’s T minus 2 days until my landlord can (and almost certainly will) issue a rent increase notice, and shit like this makes me feel I’m better off putting up with whatever they charge here…
Mine went up 80 a week and I just accepted it. Better than trying for something in this market.
Ouccch. Yeah I’m not feeling great about it at all but I’m thinking the same. I also still have the flexibility of a month to month lease if I stay, and moving is expensive.
It also sucks as a single person as actual minimum rent doesn’t go down much the further out you go, you just get a larger house, so no cost savings unless you go back into house sharing.
I’m in the same position. No fucking way am I going back to share housing. Finally having peace and quiet is worth the insane rent cost unfortunately.
Godspeed!
If it wasn’t for the fact my current place is a shithole and that I need to be closer to my parents, I would not be moving an inch in this current climate.
Yeah I had one with a non functional gas heater. They wouldn’t even remove it. Thankfully now not legal, but desperate people will accept shit sandwiches
Someone will absolutely take it, it’s outer east, finding a place out there is reaching golden ticket levels.
There’s one around the corner from me with ‘windows’ made of hessian. No it isn’t a squat, or so I’m told by those who know about those. Seriously has no window glass.
Who needs cooling when you have * checks notes * no windows!
Edit - silly formatting
I’ve been watching Babylon Berlin lately. Binging it so I can power through before it leaves Netflix.
The band from the fictional nightclub in the show released music for real (as the Moka Esti Orchestra) and it’s…actually legit as hell
Incredible show. The final series wasn’t released on netflix. I sailed the high seas to find it.
Miracle of miracles, I’m moderately well rested
Omw home 😬🍺🍺😴😩
Ooooo someone is dying under stale tram lights, methinks lol stay safe
Now safe in bed 💕 work tomorrow is a maybe

Meet halfway? How bout fried Catfish? Throw in some slaw and fresh chillies?
🤝
I don’t believe there is a polite expresion for …this
I approve
I’ll trade you one frozen roast chicken roll for one of those.
Not a problem Chief. (You can also keep yours for a rainy day)
Nawww. I owe you one mate.
What is it?
Rib eye, onion, Provolone + red cap on a toasted bread roll.
Sounds good. :)
I’m having chicken vegie curry with rice with nuts
