Interesting little thing I’ve noticed: my organisation (and thus their complaints page) blocks all the connections from our IP (we have a static IP). Switch to data and it works, turn on a vpn (even a foreign one) and it works.
🤔
That’s just dark.
And probably kind of dodgy too… There’s nothing that I can think of that would prevent access to their website besides them making a conscious effort to block IPs they manage
Check your ip isn’t on SORBS
It could just be bureaucratic idiocy. My work blocks access to their own rostering system over the organisation’s wi-fi, you can only use it on the wired network or using your personal connection.
curry on stove cooking, much housework done, house doesn’t smell catty anymore, even did some work on my terrace garden
I’m feeling so much better :)
Ooooh what’s the curry? I was feeling a curry but ended up just reheating some stroganoff.
chicken rogan josh
Here’s hoping my weather app has bugged and that it’s not actually going to be absolute zero on Friday!
we dead
This is a fiendish plan by (insert name here) to kill off the homeless by freezing them to death before they bring property values down.
That’d freeze everyone to death, homes or not. You might be able to survive that if you had access to something with amazing insulation like a walk in freezer, but no guarantee you’d be able to open the door to leave it when the mother of all cold snaps was done.
That’s an extinction level cold.
I’ll still be in shorts. Probably put my slippers on though.
There are not fluffy enough slippers for Kelvin numbers!
What are the chances that I’ll still have to pay my rent on Friday. Can’t bloody win
you still owe up to 4am, dammit!
Amassing quite the collection of half bags of frozen chips over here.
Consolidate, but do not mix the straight & crinkle cut.
They never taste quite the same do they? Bit of a mystery that.
I decided to learn Chinese! Day two and I’m bad at it, as expected. But I managed to use words I know to form a phrase!
今天太冷了
I sure hope that’s right.
Ni Hao Ma
Hao.
yes it is right
\o/
Today is day 259 of learning Spanish and I can still barely speak it, so good work
I’m feeling incredibly low. The weather doesn’t help but life is a struggle for a lot of genuine reasons.
many hugs
I hope things get better for you Melba 🙏 You’re a good person.
I got some really delicious green jasmine tea so no more coffee after 4 and I’ll see if I sleep better
so much housework to catch up on 🥴
Nah. I’m taking my ~bat and ball~ book and glass of water and going to bed. Big busy cold week coming up I might as well get some rest in. Night all.
You’re a monoball I see
Just like BB-8
Yeah I had to read it twice.
Up stumps!
Good night!
First time making cauliflower “wings”, a bit time consuming and a fair bit of mucking about, but came out really nice especially after dunking them in the sauce - made with my lovely homemade hot sauce - and then doing another 5 minutes in the air fryer.
Unfortunately the green manzano peppers I used for tonight’s arroz verde ended up spicy as well (Russian roulette with those things), so everything’s clearing out my sinuses.
Discovered a bottle of mead in the fridge from goodness knows how long ago and poured myself a rare little tipple with soda water to wash down the spaaaaaice 🥵 🌶
Right. I’ve setup a trial Entra tenancy to practice on. I’ve got my server 2016 VM setup ready to practice a faux migration. I’ve got a couple of old PC’s to enrol in server instead of using VM’s which should help make things easier.
English: My IT test lab is up and running lol
A lot to learn!
Great stuff. I really should have one myself rather than using prod as the test bed.
Do you have proxmox? if not, worth a play to familiarise yourself now that a certain company is shitting the bed. You can also practise virtualising some machines.
Fuck! Yesterday, the man decided to kill his sickness with garlic and chillis. Today, I’m living in a second hand garlic cloud. 🤢
i never found garlic or chilli to help. Honey and lemon, an aspirin and rest helps
If it’s a cold Armaforce does wonders but it’s a tad pricey.
Used to use it all the game and would avoid colds and similar stuff by taking it early.
It’s like olive, echinacea and something else.
Andrographis. I swear by it too!
I haven’t heard of that one. What does it do?
Anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Can boost your immune system and white cell production but not good for people with autoimmune disorders.
Yeah a normal person would do that.
My old man used to do that lol
What chilli and garlic? I bet he cuts an onion and uses the segments as a spoon to scoop up food. Just a guess.
Yeah the chilli and garlic. No on the onion spoon, however! He used to have these weird “special cotton” that he would burn and sniff to get rid of nasal congestion.
It actually fucking worked, but man, it sucked.
You don’t want to know about the jerk chicken then. Hot enough to have consequences.
When I say garlic and chilli what I mean is a tub of toum and a tablespoon of Carolina reaper paste chaser. Jerk chicken wouldn’t make a dent.
This is full of Habs. Has caused vomiting when eaten without fair notice 😇
He eats habaneros like grapes. He doesn’t even get ring sting.
Which end lol?
All the holes.
How come all the coffee shops shut so early? I wanted a coffee at like 5:01pm yesterday and the only option within walking distance that was open was a 7-11 and the hotel foyer.
I’m with you. Very few of them stay open after I finish work as well.
It’s usually down to a very select few or bars or stuff to get a coffee at 4-4:30
I hate they close early too. If I want a “late” coffee when I’m out, I usually end up at Macca’s. I don’t mind their cappuccinos and they come in a good-sized large.
But yeah, even in Brunswick most close at 3pm. Green Refectory closes late, but they do dinner as well as coffee/cafe food. But they do not have a good-sized large, so I consider that place an extra nice treat.
Hold onto your socks. WE MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN ANOTHER GAME THIS YEAR 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
I changed the sheets yesterday and put on my trusty soft-touch blanket that I’ve been using since 2015. Game changer! A pain to put on as only half is tucked in (so I can wrap myself like a burrito and it doesn’t come loose). But 500% warmer and so toasty that I fall asleep much faster and don’t even need socks, let alone any heating.
Problem is I think I’m starting to oversleep, heh. Must’ve been 10-11 hours last night… woke up at 9am today… waking up at 6:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday is gonna be a biatch. Beyond overjoyed at the sun being (partly) out though. Will not try and force myself to do heaps today as next week will be full on, but need to condition myself out of sloth mode too.
