    Winston (neighbours’ dog) has found a new way to jump the fence:

    Just jumps over, barks at trees, the air, rolls around then goes home.

    Winston is a good boi.

    Heading down the bellarine today with the heavy af studio subwoofer that I put through a wall getting it down stairs the other day. Finally will be reunited with the main speakers.

    Let’s see if I can put it through 2 walls. I like my chances.

          Behringer is pretty good, but I know what you mean about the snobiness.

          I’ve got a few stomp boxes of theirs and they’re pretty good sounding.

          I wouldn’t mind a BCF but they’re hard to find these days.

          Those Opals look amazing!

            I’m still surprised the motors on these BCFs still work.

            It’s hilarious when you’ve aggressively automated and assigned a bunch of stuff and the faders move like they’re possessed.

            Opals are probably one of better decisions I’ve made. There are probably better more honest sounding ones these days for the same $ or less, but they’re still going strong after 14-ish yrs.

    Second weekend in a row of being stuck in bed due to health condition being flared up due to working in the office the day before.

    Not happy. The employer changed their wfh arrangements after I’d started work with them ☹️

      I was so tired I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Didn’t take my phone out of my pocket, and didn’t turn my lamp off (although it was only on dim). Even though I evidently needed it, my quality of sleep is quite noticeably worse if I don’t turn the light off before sleeping.

      Also the other kid left the house in a bit of a state which I haven’t resolved, and I can’t fucking find anything, so I think I need to do housework today

      Also also: I ordered a pack of my favourite rice crackers from Amazon last night and I swear they promised me they’d be delivered today, but now it’s saying they’ll be delivered tomorrow :/

    Watching an Attenborough thing with the p’s tonight.

    My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he’s a doc, man of science)… was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn’t hit the sides).

    "Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this’.

    Pointed out he’d been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament…

    It. did. not. end. well.

    I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.

      I could hear your dad’s statement in that exact Kew grandpa voice. I would also advise quietly leaving next time…

      I’ve stopped worrying about climate change, or at least stopped arguing.

      When stuff needs to happen for national security reasons the government will force change, and when too much money is lost to disaster payouts insurance companies will force change.

      It might not happen soon enough but it will happen.

    It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren’t going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it’s a bit tricky to figure out what’s missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn’t gotten around to using yet. So I don’t actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn’t take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there’s nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.

    The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven’t been 100% on because:

    false memories (tangent)

    Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn’t remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it’s weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I’d just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.

    Also I couldn’t remember if I brought my hard drive with me or not. I remember I either brought my hard drive cable or hard drive with me, because on the first day of the steam game sales, I didn’t have enough space to install the games I brought, and I remember thinking it was a shame because I had half of what I needed. I guess my stupid little ranty comments are useful though, because I said I forgot to bring my hard drive in this comment. That also solidifies in my mind that my hard drive was stolen.

      The 3DS is a huge loss. Did you have it homebrewed so you could run a bunch of other stuff on it?

        Yep :|

        Even though I never had one growing up, I still felt nostalgic for them. I received it for my 16th bday and was over the moon. Spent my pocket money on an SD card a few days later and spent a day getting the homebrew stuff happening. Nintendo shut down their e-shop like 2 weeks after I got it too. Fun times.

        Also I suck at Mario kart, and I need to not suck before I stop playing it :(

        Yeah. I’m going to create a spreadsheet and log everything in both my rooms along with serial numbers and photos. The serial numbers and photos probably only help if the cops decide to go searching, but knowing what exactly I have will prove useful. Probably save me for double buying things too
