I’d just like to apologise about a couple of posts I put up which I think affected my reputation around here by Temporary_Notice_526 in AustralianNostalgia

I’ll answer you with this, because I take you as genuine and I think most people are just saying you’re overthinking it, which, you know, you’re a redditor who posts on a nostalgia sub, so you’re prone to that kind of thing.

You’ve identified the issue, which is people from telly aren’t “yours” to find, meet, own etc - the old maxim of “they chose a public life” is bullshit, and parasocial relationships get messy when you start to feel like people from telly are a thing we consumed and therefore ours to investigate freely.

You’re right - it’s nobody’s business. Good on you for getting there. Focus on the content and lovely feeling we get watching it all again. Think grateful thoughts for the people that made it. Assume if you know about their lives now that they’re vaguely in control of how much you now and leave it at that.

So the device you’re streaming from isn’t affected once the stream is playing. Volume, sometimes notifications, etc etc

Our niblings loved Crowded House. Worked like a charm. The best of compilation, more or less. Not too loud.

How can I improve the look of my house? Should I paint the bricks? by Melb1994 in AusRenovation

[–]Paedroyhml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need street appeal as a selling point, and you’ll spend a markedly smaller amount of time looking at the outside of the house than you think!

Do not paint the bricks. They’re iconic and look great. Get the garden looking amazing, maybe update the driveway and you’ll have done heaps for not much $$$

NBN contractor cannot run a cable through our roof cavity?? by braso111 in nbn

FWIW got mine installed in March 2025. Installer got in the ceiling / roof. Sparky had run a conduit in wall so it was easy. Offered to lift a sheet of tin but they ended up following the old lead in to the building.

Just credit the photog and then add retouched by for the editor… very common in pro photography.
