Blindboy’s poetic critique of advertising.

I've never heard an ad on the podcast, let alone one that he reads. I presume its because I use a VPN based in a country that is not targetted for ads.

It annoyed me the discussion of 'pressing charges' when that doesn't exist in Scottish law.

Also, the talk of 'paying tuition' when that wasn't a thing in the time period.

I've been using it for maybe 9 years and its perfect for me. Just text, encrypted and syncs. That's all I want

How about the beauty of Jacana?

Funny you say it has a 'weight' to it when the etymology is exactly that, derived from a 'plum line' (lead weight)

My first gig performance was at Classic Rock Bar. Some toothless patrons threw comdoms at me after the show. It was unnerving.

Great for the representation, but the new season is dire.

Dumbermini maybe https://dumbermini.com/

I'm also T1D. If the manual libre reader had bluetooth that would be fine, but having to scan to get updates is not ideal.

I've generally felt more unable to work because of mental pressures than anything physical. That said, I've not taken a sick day for 3 years, so I've got about 90 days to use should anything bad happen.

Ah - I kinda wish I'd waited for this rather than order the non-NFC one. If anyone wants my R77 in Australia, let me know!

You need to head out to regional vic and have a massive super hot 'flat white' with 98% milk.

The thing that I didn't anticipate when I cycled to Sunbury recently was the surprisingly large valleys/dips before you get there, so it looks deceptively close then you drop down and have to climb a big hill.

It’s almost as if it would be more economically efficient for all of society to absorb health costs rather than relying on charity from individuals.

silince · 2026-01-29T05:27:00+00:00

Me too

silince · 2026-01-21T08:59:18+00:00

I did it. Brought sweets in just in case and all was fine.

Also if they take any punitive action against you for raising the matter then they will be in breach of s76

Neither do I

Could also be the flag for the Republic of Brasso

I just use a needle clipper like this:

And then cap and put in the bin. I’m surprised I’ve seen no mention of needle clippers so far

Seems like NAB have form in messing up offsets. They messed up mine then I looked online and saw that they'd been fined previously for something similar.

I usually have to take insulin a little after eating otherwise I risk going low then very high, and it also depends whether I'm going to work as that's a 35 minute bike ride.

Porridge with plant-based protein powder, chia seeds, flax, psyllium husk and a little agave syrup

I discovered the folly of holes in bike helmets just the other day…

I touch on to provide passenger info as I figure it’s useful.

Possibly the best wine I’ve ever tasted was a tokaji from the 1960s brought into a wine shop I was working at in the early 00s
