Lean, mean and green. The original plaster thing has been replaced by a modern plastic thing that has been literally molded to my arm. It is so much nicer than plaster. That said, I'll have it until mid-June.

You can’t copyright recipes. Period.

That is incorrect.

Ooh! Thanks for reminding me. The school was calling for sausage volunteers on Saturday and I forgot to reply.

To make matters worse: blokes are totally oblivious to it all. I wouldn't notice or care what makeup you had on (or didn't) so long as you are happy.

Same here. That's how I managed to completely miss that she was now in her 70's until she was literally in front of me.

Ran into Pauline Hanson this morning. She's aged, which I suppose stands to reason. I just hadn't considered that she's 70, now. She's clearly dying her hair bright red these days. I hope she does that for herself and not from some unspoken need to fit a certain look for women in politics. Men are allowed to age and go grey. Parliament is not Hollywood.

Yep. With the generous help from the admin at lemmy.ca sharing his code, I implemented a few layers of defense that blocked the bulk of the DMs. It got to the point where the spam would just be an image (because of our spam filters). That was harder to block and I'm still not sure I managed it, but the DMs have stopped.

Does CBA not add a virtual card to the phone's wallet? I don't need to actually open my bank's app to make a purchase swiping my phone. I only need to unlock the phone (and you can configure it to make small purchases with the phone locked if you like).

It's been a good week now since I have had to deal with any people receiving DM spam. I don't want to jinx it, but we may have weathered that particular storm.

I loved this teeny bit: "best of Howard"

Mr Howard is remembered for three things:

  1. Getting rid of guns.
  2. Introducing the GST.
  3. Tampa/children overboard.

And I nearly said "two things", as 1 & 2 are far bigger points; though you could argue that 3 had a lasting impact on Australian politics and outright lying to the faces of Australians being permitted.

I am curious as to what this MAGA-Lite group thinks is "the best of Howard", because I don't think that means what they think it means.

That headline is backwards. The Leeuwin was moored. It did not collide with anything.

I don't know how on earth I missed this when it happened. My family has roots in Freo; people in my family have lived there for over a century.

Somehow nobody spoke of the incident. It should have been a talking point for at least a week.
