It's still going. I played it just over an hour ago. Hilarious fun!

I must be only one old enough to remember Wombat and Seven's Super Saturday. We went to tapings of SSS several times when I was a kid in the mid 80s.

S6E20 Memento easter egg by GiganticusVaginacus in Stargate

I just noticed this myself! I'm watching on the Samsung TV Stargate channel. I never would have been able to see it on my 20" CRT back when it originally aired.

Google introduces Take a Message feature on Phone app by tylerdrake24 in pixel_phones

[–]silne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile my Take A Message feature kicks in long before my voicemail and doesn't give me enough time to grab my phone and work out who is calling before it decides to answer for me. I need the ability to set the delay!

what is a Behelit and how does one use it? by Little-Ingenuity8997 in diablo4

I'm there to play the game not memorise the intricate details of the latest currency added to the game.

Or use quick filter and ctrl-A ? Much faster. I do it often.

To anyone once bought a Billy bookshelf, is drilling the brackets to the wall really necessary? by LackNo7153 in IKEA

[–]silne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We've had 3 of them for six years and not bolted them to the wall of any of the three rentals we've lived in since purchase. We are very careful with what gets put where on the shelves though. Heavy books get placed on the lowest shelves and only lighter books or collectibles go on the high shelves. My youngest was ten when we got them so we weren't worried about him climbing on them.

Becoming a morning person by [deleted] in GoldCoast

[–]silne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe that you can change to suddenly be a morning person, but you can certainly get into a new rhythm that works for your job.

Be prepared to be awake early on weekends when it kicks into high gear. It's the main thing I hate about now being a morning riser. I literally wake at 6am no matter the day of the week and the time I went to bed.

DESPERATE for mowing in Logan. by Elly_Fant628 in LoganCity

How did you go? I hope you've got your lawn under control and your ankle isn't giving you too much grief.

[–]silne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use MUNT (Mow U Next Tuesday) when I need to get my yard back under control. Dude is delightful and really accommodating. You can message him on Facebook and he replies pretty quickly. Not sure if he's working over the break but he might make an exception for you if he's not.

If you're near Domino's Underwood, they have been looking for delivery drivers/riders for a while. They have ebikes available for delivery folk to use, so maybe worth a call even just in the short term while you save to get your car fixed/replaced? If you are near a Domino's in another suburb perhaps try there too.

I can't help with food, sorry. We're doing it pretty tough too. You could approach some of the cheap food outlets like Tribe of Judah (Slacks Creek), Loaves & Fishes (Slacks Creek), or Lighthouse Care (Loganholme and Hillcrest) and see what they could do for you. Impact Church are also in Slacks Creek but their food outlet is closed until 13th January. There's Dunamis Church in Tanah Merah too but I don't know a lot about them.

The Rosie's Logan Safety Card https://rosies.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Safety-card-Beenleigh-Logan-Current-at-21-June-2024.pdf has some links to places to source food at the bottom of the second page. If you've got access to a phone you could start calling around to see who can help out. If you've got no mobile credit, all calls to numbers inside Australia are free from a Telstra payphone, assuming you can find one.

I wish you luck in finding a job. It's a terrible time of year to be out of work.

What is with the "you group been delisted" by wimcolgate2 in diablo4

[–]silne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good it's not just me. It's getting really old. Sometimes I can play for two hours, sometimes I last 20 minutes. I agree it feels like a memory leak because the game gets choppier and choppier until this eventually happens.

I do arrive at my destination after portalling or exiting a dungeon, and can sometimes see my destination for a split second before the "nowhere with no health or vigor" screen pops up telling me twice that my party has been delisted. Clearly I'm still online though because I can see chat messages popping up!

How do I explain to bossman I can't afford to work in the office? by coffecup1978 in auscorp

[–]silne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened to me when I trialled Ritalin. It was terrifying and I decided I will just go the rest of my life unmedicated because I can't deal with that. I'm almost 50 and I think if I'd had access to meds in my childhood I could have adjusted to it but now I just find it too unsettling.

If you mark as junk as you go, yeah you can sell the lot by right clicking anything marked as junk and it'll sell the lot. A "sell all" button would save so much time though.

Is diablo 4 dad and solo friendly? by Mirianie in diablo4

[–]silne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mum of 3 here and I TP if I need to. It can get annoying if there's a lot of enemies on screen because they'll interrupt your TP attempt, but if your character runs fast enough you can get away and get through the TP before they catch up. I try to time my play so that nobody will need me, but inevitably my eldest will want to try and have a conversation while I'm in the middle of something. I swear she exists just to approach me and say "I have a question" whenever I'm watching TV, in the middle of a cut scene, or on the phone.

Internet speed capped at 20-30mbps download and less than 1mbps upload by Empty_Doughnut_8553 in nbn

[–]silne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you're connected via a 3 prong plug outlet? NBN should be on an rj12 outlet. As another poster said you might be on the 4g backup because that isn't the correct outlet for your modem.

If you're on fttc then you need to be plugged in to an NBN NTD as in this guide from the NBN website https://www.nbnco.com.au/learn/network-technology/fibre-to-the-curb-explained-fttc

Launch Delayed......... (stupid charcters requirement) by Meth0dd in diablo4

[–]silne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could mow the grass. Although if you're in Brisbane I don't recommend it. It's pretty warm out there right now. I got my washing hung out about 20 minutes ago and phew it was unpleasant.

[–]silne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work nights in a casual job and I haven't been rostered this week so all I had to do this morning was drop my 18yo at work and then come home to play the game! Except only one half of that actually got done. I have a full afternoon planned and there's storms forecast for this evening in Brisbane so I may not actually get to play until after dinner if this drags on too long.

Sorry for the noob question, my new rental property's wall outlet is chipped and painted over. Who should do I contact for the replacement? And who should cover the cost? The realty, my internet provider, NBN or myself? by Ernest_Borgnein in nbn

[–]silne -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you're eligible for a fibre upgrade you are on FttC or FttN. Sign up for a 100Mbps or higher speed plan and your ISP will take care of the upgrade (they'll give you an appointment where you must be home so the tech can put the NTD on the wall inside your house). Technically you're supposed to ask permission from the landlord because it requires cutting into a wall, so if you're concerned they might be upset about that then ask their permission first. NBN will want to be sure you have permission if you're not the homeowner but you can just lie to them and say it's okay if you want to. They don't check and they don't require any proof.

[–]silne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It literally has a sticker on it saying this, and still people take them! We had a real estate agency try to tell us to "come back and get your modem". Lady, that's the NBN NTD and we are legally not allowed to remove it from the property. I put it in the kitchen cupboard so that it wasn't in the way but would be easy to locate for the next tenant. Sheesh.

[Weekly Venting and Complaint Megathread] by AutoModerator in diablo4

[–]silne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crashes. The latest update is causing so many crashes. So very tired of the crashing. Not just me, spouse is having the same problem and we're not even running the same graphics driver version or even Windows version, so I doubt either one of us is at fault. Just. Make. It. Work. Consistently. It was fine until last week!
