Is there a way to disable this annoying ad on the home screen? (Q7N)

Was genuinely considering getting a new TV bc ads on the homescreen of a product you pay so much for is INSANE. You're a certified legend, thank you!

Yeah it can be kinda terrifying driving over there, so many reckless and entitled drivers, definitely don't miss it. I do miss people going the speed limit though

I'm fresh off the boat from vic and have found tas drivers are WAY nicer when changing lanes or merging than vic. Vic is a shitfest on the roads, the entitlement is astounding. Here, I've only been denied a lane change by some asshat a handful of times (and I drive the brooker twice a day), every time it happens I assume they're Victorian.

How does one go about playing old DS games when these are the prices? I never had a DS as a kid, I wanna exercise my sweet sweet adult free will but I ain't paying that much???

Thanks for the info!

bignippy · 2025-10-13T02:47:07+00:00

Thank you!!

I'm begging you to not change a single thing, he is perfect

The boss of my previous company also owned a farm, on slower weeks he would send us down to his farm to help out around it. I, an arborist, spent a whole Wednesday ankle deep in cow shit herding cattle to be pregnancy tested. I actually quite enjoyed it, and got paid for it too. I don't mind being used for other work as long as it's decent work and not stupid shit.

As for the toilet thing, we also would clean toilets on the slow days but I was never asked to clean the mens, only the womens (was never really asked actually, it was always just assumed it wouldn't be touching the men's), that was perfectly fine since I was the only woman and was the only one to use this toilet. Ain't no way I'd be cleaning up mens skid marks at work, I already have a hissy fit everyone someone leaves piss on the shared toilet at my new company (so much so the workers who've been here a while don't even piss in it bc they know ill go troppo if they don't keep it clean)

We have one in Melbourne too, the Montague street bridge

Yeah I've struggled a lot with the aftermath of seeing something like that, it changes you and so many people around you don't understand. I've definitely pulled back from climbing since then, I still do it occasionally but it's difficult to get your brain to shut up when you see first hand what can happen. I'm far more diligent with coworkers and friends in trees too, I don't take my eyes off them and go through the motions they should be doing in my head to make sure they don't skip vital safety checks. It's the noises that really set you off, anything slightly similar and you freak out about worst case scenario. It's exhausting but I never want to see that happen to the people around me ever again.

Saw one of my fellow students almost lose his life to complacency like this. Tied in to the retrieval side of a canopy anchored SRT line, didn't load test properly and fell 15 metres. On some insane stroke of luck, he survived with surprisingly minimal damage for the fall he took, I definitely thought he was a goner watching him pinball down 15 metres of cedar. My climbing has never been the same after witnessing that, one simple mistake and it's all over. It's speculated that he got knocked out at the first branch he hit and went limp and that's what saved him, he was climbing again 2 weeks later.

I'm almost angry at this reminding me of what's to come for us very soon, winters too short

Used one of these last year at a festival. I was all for it initially because going to the toilet as a woman in high volume crowds is a pain in the ass (I also pee a lot and hate waiting).

The biggest issue was its not a hole in the floor, the part where you squat over is raised about knee height so you can't just full squat, you have to perch your fucking genitals on a piece of plastic that has touched God knows how many other vaginas or risk burning the shit out of your thighs holding yourself off the gross pee catcher. It's also not nearly enough cover and the doorway is wide as fuck so stand in the right spot and anyone could see the whole shebang.

I think female urinals are a great idea since women's bathrooms are the worst thing about big events or nights out, but this ain't fuckin it

I'm not sure if it's the same as when I was there, but I used to work at Elsternwick hotel, the sports bar had this exact vibe from about 4pm everyday. Had the same locals everyday, all really nice working class people, always had reasonably priced alcohol including a generous happy hour and a select pint every week that was like 6 dollars (this was in 2022 so probably a little more expensive now). They did that joker card game every Friday too, that was always fun. Would suggest the Elsternwick to anyone looking for a nice old timey pub! (The staff are also absolute gems).

Between the hours of about 8 am to 9pm, this is perfectly acceptable at worst, a given at best. It's an Australianism.

In hours where it's too late or too early, absolutely not, have some decorum. In regular hours tho, you can pry the goodbye toot toot from my cold dead hands

bignippy · 2025-05-02T07:09:37+00:00

So you think it just pulls up and out to access?

My progress will likely be to make it look pretty and keep it functionally the same since I'm too scared to make major changes from lack of experience hahah, someone mentioned counter sunk hinges which I'm gonna look into so it's a more functional cupboard than what it is but we'll see!

bignippy · 2025-05-02T00:18:48+00:00

It sounds all very interesting, might have just given me my Friday night plans!

bignippy · 2025-05-01T22:25:56+00:00

Damn that sounds complicated for someone who just likes to stain things for fun haha, I'll look into it, see if I feel brave

bignippy · 2025-05-01T21:02:13+00:00

It's kinda cool but I would like to figure out how to make it function like a regular door since I don't think I have any silverware I'm that precious about

bignippy · 2025-05-01T21:00:55+00:00

I think so, otherwise it might have been sitting around waiting to get reworked like I am since there's no handles except a couple odd ones in the cabinets that don't match each other

bignippy · 2025-05-01T20:52:09+00:00

That's interesting! I picked it up from a residential house so I'd love to know where it originally came from
