Good morning, checking out Lemmy, then back to coding freedom software followed by BJJ.

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm a few weeks away from being medically clear to return to bjj.

[โ€“] kryo@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry you had to pause. I hope all cleared with no risk of reoccurrence ๐Ÿคž

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Great stuff. I just avoid telling my GP about my injuries....I've gotten used to most of them.

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm mostly avoiding neon belly vs hernia recovery.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Good plan. I had a hernia repair last year, surgeon said I can back to training after 6 weeks. I waited about 10 until hitting the mats and another 2 before I started rolling.

It wasn't so much the hernia area that hurt, it was everything else after being off for so long. Had some groin pain after, got another scan and was told it's just inflammation of the area.

Very cautious now anytime there's a tweak below the equator.

Good morning.

I cannot read bjj as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's what they're referring to.

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Update on my Australian Knitting Mills recommendation, I've washed the four singlets I got. Two are fine, one has become short and one has become wide. They might not have the greatest quality control and I just got lucky with the socks and initial tester singlet.

Little dog home now. All good. No sedation. Lots of hands holding him down and distractions with treats.

It's the rear back that gets me every time.

Ear infection for third time this year. Had antibiotics twice. The better doctor near me is booked out until June. The crap doctor told me to take an antihistamine, plus I want to talk about a lady problem and my sleep screaming so don't want to see him. Time to find a new doctor.

Little dog is at vet cos he had an abscess he wouldn't let anyone look at so they have to sedate him. I asked to be sedated too but I didn't get an answer to that one. I now have carpet to clean.

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh no. Terriers are tough.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. They're the best dogs.

got a new usb flash to use to transfer music , hopefully to legacy windows player

I used to love playing music on my phone and computer, until itunes fucked everything up

from illegally changing file names on non apple music to changing special release albums to standard, thereby losing live music and extras, not transfering other music I own, I am done with them

I am now not going to my phone or itunes/music at all, it's back to windows media player on my lap top

my problem is that I want to use my stuff on my terms

not that apple cares

apple is such a strange company, their products are not too bad, they make great movies and tv

but they don't integrate well with other systems at all

this phone is such a waste of money for me

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They don't want to integrate, they just want to completely control what you use so they can dictate what you do and don't see. They're not the only ones, of course, but they're one of the few companies I feel is so obvious about it.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

I detest it

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Laundry has been completed, in time for tomorrow. I have my interview, and partner has a project presentation for work to do. Big Day vibes.

I just need the universe to align for me on this please ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅบ

The universe will behave itself, or I will happen to it.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

May the Force be with you

You got this, I'm on your side ๐Ÿซฐ

Back down the beach.

tradition is usually get 2 potato cakes from the station on the way through. Not with this tum tum :( Lady sitting next to me was munching on hers and every crunch was just cruel.

Good thing I didn't though because the gastro stop stopped working about 5 minutes after I got in the door. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Caught a tummy bug which hit on Sun. Went to bed at 5pm and the shivering was extreme for about 10 mins then it just stopped. Don't even shiver with the cold swims it was wild. Thermoregulation in bed was borked. Sleep in the nud = overheat, sleep with clothes on = no overheat. Heater off, windows open. Weird.

Glad that's mainly over jeez not pleasant. Wore a path in the carpet going to the loo every hr or so.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

get better real soon

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

so much stuff to do today but doing it in a non stressful unhurried way

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well that was eventful.. I just got woken up by elder minipeeler because there was a cricket in his room. It dashed under the bed so we had to pull everything out from under there and then I caught it in a jar and yeeted it into the garden. What is a cricket doing inside FFS. They've finally shut up outside and are now invading the house!

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Crickets at this time of year?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've seen crickets around the past few days.

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably a few last season stragglers.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within elder peelers bedroom?

May I see it?
