    I’m currently down a rabbit hole of lofi and “focus” music youtube channels. My brain is so busy lately I am needing something to play in my earphones while I work but something that won’t distract me. Anyone got any channels they like?

    TV review.

    This is a broader review of a genre.

    TV and movies have been setting up the premise of a cast being amateur detectives since forever. This is so they can meet all different kinds of people and get up to all kinds of hijinks, the whodunnit is secondary . Usually the first series or movie seems to have more of the detective work , after that the characters are established and they just do the hijinks. Some examples are The Three Stooges, The Thin Man series of movies, The Monkees, Scooby Doo, ATHF, and most recently Only Murders in the Building.

    They are all good fun shows. :)

      Only Murders in the Building.

      Absolutely adore this show. The cast, the writing, the twists, the cliffhangers. It’s done so well. The comedic timing of f-bombs is really well done too.

      Agree, I love these type of shows. A similar excellent one is White Lotus. It’s a whodunit without the amateur detectives, shows a body in the first episode and then the rest is revealing all the hijinks that led to it.

    Oh hey Baku - this is completely random and I know you already have a job. But seeing as you already do cameras and are working on home security, perhaps a future career option to consider might be as a locksmith?

    The tafe campus is on the opposite side of the city to you and there are financial reasons tradie apprentices drop out… so maybe not.

    But if that’s of any interest there may be financial support during an apprenticeship and you eventually get a decent salary.

    Neighbours’ dog jumped the fence again wanted pats, he is a good boi so he always gets them. Then he starts eating charcoal from the fire patch (basically a patch where I set garden things on fire). Dogs shouldn’t eat charcoal. So there I am chasing a dog asking it to drop… He was so possessive I gave up. God speed Winston never change.

    I know very little about the protests. I assume a small number of aggro cooker types kicked off against the cops creating a cascade of bullshit that the majority attending didn’t want.

    I gave my dog a steak for lunch cos it’s his birthday. I mostly eat plant based these days, I can’t remember the last time I cooked a steak. Kinda stinky.

      Happy bday lil derpsy!!

      protest, spoiled because it's a happy day for lil derpledog, and I don't want to spoil it with protest talk

      I have been trying to keep up with it, and I agree with your assessment. Watching the initial scuffles from yesterday, it seems like a group of them tried to walk onto the Westgate, and the cops responded by blocking them and then shoving the protestors with pretty significant force backwards

      It’s interesting watching it through the perspective of having lived in state care, and studying community services. If you work in a Resi house, a kid gets angry and tries to march into the (house) office, you don’t respond by shoving them out with enough force to push them over. If you have the stature, know the kid, and feel confident you can handle yourself and they aren’t armed, you shouldn’t necessarily just let them March in, but you should charge at them like they’re little angry bowling pins either

    I finished the Gibson Alien 3 screenplay and it’s very good. It adds to the Alien universe, makes them scarier, and is it’s own thing from the other two movies.

    If we fit this version we would have had a very solid trilogy on our hands at a minimum

      Thanks for reminding me. I don’t know if your kind of thing, but there’s a short story from the monster perspective from the movie"The Thing"

      Amazing story.

        That sounds familiar. I’ll look it up.

        There’s also the book Grendel about the monster from Beowulf from the monster’s perspective. It’s really good and works as a stand alone piece
