        Nah just brushing up on server 2016 and GPO. Will be doing az900 after this.

        I’ve been around since dos 4.0 so this stuff isn’t too difficult, it’s just practice really. The underlying systems I understand.

          Same stuff, different platform. Dos 3.1 checking in 🤣

          Az900 is pretty easy, you’ll ace it. It’s a memory game.

            Daaaaamn and I thought dos 4 was old school lol. Don’t miss editing autoexec.bat and config.sys to get stuff working.

            Glad to hear az900 is straight forward!

                Is this a good time to mention I had a C64 growing up, and later an Amiga 500?

        It wasn’t so much the barfing but the subsequent bathing, then towelling as well. And i got her back flanks too, which she has some ptsd over being touched.

        Oh she got ao much cheese and apologies and deigned to headbutt me in forgiveness.

    It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.

    Did he notice? Absolutely not.

    Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.

    Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.

    My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

      might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.

        Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.

      I can relate to this.

      Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.

      I clean up, whenever I haven’t I’m just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.

        I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.

    Old man just informed me yesterday he has a hereditary gene defect related to PCSK9 or Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 which means high cholesterol or sumfink.

    I already had my parma and chips lined up…

    So rude.

    Yesterday a car drove up and back down my court and stopped outside my front gate, would the window down and took a photo (from what I could see). He then realised I was there and left. Not feeling overly safe, didn’t get numberplate so calling cops would be useless?

    Dead end road in the sticks……

      Not good. Do you have cctv? Might still be worth reporting. The photo (?) sounds like might be casing the joint for robbery of tools/generator/copper piping etc. Which is a thing that’s increasing.

      Unfortunately even if you did get a plate, the cops can’t do much anyways. Unless he was in your driveway or otherwise on your property, it’s not illegal to drive down a dead end street. And although creepy, it’s not illegal to take photos of people on private property if you’re doing so from public property unless they have “a reasonable expectation of privacy”, or people’s houses

        I get that but the fact that they took off when they saw me - that’s dodgy af. Fortunately my big dog was barking from the house, hopefully a deterrent if it’s casing for a break in.

        Got them on my camera but just didn’t get the plate (they were trying to stay out of range methinks). Will realign a camera.

          The neighbours might’ve caught them. You could do a letter drop in the court saying someone was taking photos from their car on DATE and TIME.

    I don’t know why I fucking say anything on the other site. Fucking incel shit. I hate that the boys who said foul, sexist, racist crap on 4chan have infiltrated every other fucking site. Where did they get their confidence‽ Who raised these animals? Fuck me for even daring to voice my experiences, or the experiences of afabs. I know I should just abandon it at this point.

    Why do we have to suffer through abuse and die to these foul fuckers? Why do we have to deal with this crap? If, for whatever reason, my partner and I don’t work out, I’m joining that 4b movement. No debate. I’ll go live in the fucking woods with the bears and spiders and lions, whatever.

    Real fucking sick of boys and men feeling entitled to do whatever the fuck they want to afabs. I wish they would crawl into a fucking hole and die.

    (I shouldn’t feel the need to say this, but: yes, I know it’s not all men 🙄)

    Monk series last 3 episodes.

    Very nice series ender, nice endings for every character, nothing surprising, it all seemed like natural conclusions to stories in the series. Like a short story, you see how the series was just a section of their lives, there was a before and there is an after.

    I think the series was about love, grief and friendship.

    I do wonder how eccentric special Monk’s skills were. Can every viewer figure it out?

    I made some Greens packet cheesecake for the kids and whilst I wasn’t expecting much, they managed to limbo under my low expectations.

    I guess I’ve never had a cheesecake as fluffy, stiff, and bland as these before to have perspective.

    It’s not a hard ‘don’t recommend’, more a ‘don’t bother’. Make cheesecake at home the proper way or buy a good one
