What’s your build? I’m gonna get a dell optiplex 7060 for my Plex machine cause my gaming rig is dying and plex is about it’s only purpose atm, but I’m debating a raspberry pi for a light weight DL machine.
Taleya 1 point 3 years ago
Ah this is a literal dl machine, file server is a different machine entirely. Gonna be a vm on a proxmox with a 3tb landing pad and rdp access so the hubs stops harassing me. (PIA is currently on my w10 laptop and we're both IT pros, so using someone elses machine is like wearing their underwear. And not in a fun way.)
Edit: if ya really wanna know.... the hardware is a Dell PowerEdge R620. Lol.

omoikiri 3 points 3 years ago
Taiyaki are basically just pancake batter filled with whatever. Traditionally red bean paste. This time I did red bean paste, chestnut paste and Nutella. I also really like filling them them a crème patissiere or yuzu curd if I have enough time/foresight to make it ahead. Because you cook them in the special mold, they get a nice crispy outside. People tend to have a preference for eating the head or the tail first. I personally like to go tail-first 😈
just_kitten 3 points 3 years ago
I am a monster and like to eat it from the side
Duenan 1 point 3 years ago
Hmm interesting.
I don’t know what red bean paste tastes like so it’s quite a bit of an unknown for me to imagine what it would be like.
I wouldn’t mind filling one up with apple and cinnamon though.
I would go tail first I think.

I've decided to quit my job move to a small seaside town where I will befriend local characters, take on a strange job that pays pennies, and live in a quaint shack. I'll also only wear light colours and linen clothes with white plimsolls, and maybe I'll even let my Scottish curls grow.
See you suckers later, it's me and my seaside dream from here on out.

Really wish people would keep their dogs on leash in areas where it literally says to keep your dog on leash. Some dog runs right up to mine not even 50m away from said "dogs must be on leash" sign. I don't wanna hear "ohhhh sorrrrrryyy about that", I just don't want your dog to run up to mine smh
RosaliePreistley 4 points 3 years ago
I have a fear of strange dogs. the fucking cunts who get their noses out of joint when you tell to control their bity fucking animals where the sign says to are as bad as they come. I used to walk my housemates huge staffy ridgeback, on a lead. he was known to bite other dogs. trying to explain to these fucking hipsters in footscray having a picnic, this isn't even my dog, so I can't absolutely control him and here's your bouncy labradoodle snapping at it cos you want it to be "free". people have no common sense.
I'm hongohones, and this is today's what really grinds my gears.
vanishing_spies 3 points 3 years ago
I hear ya. My dog was attacked as a puppy on two separate occassions from off lead dogs, and as a result he's not great with dogs who run up to him suddenly while he's on a leash (which he always is because I don't trust other people or cars lmao). I also don't walk him where I know there's gonna be lots of dogs just in case, cause people suck - so that generally rules out all the nice dog-friendly places we could go. He hasn't actually attacked another dog, but I don't wanna take that risk because I've had friends whose dogs were perfectly trained with no prior negative experiences, and have still ended up going another dog in certain situations. I just want my bebi to be safe, especially since going for super long walks with him is one of my favourite things to do :(

Meanwhile, I've only just sat down to begrudgingly start on the work that I have to get in before 9am Monday, which I've spent all of today doing procrastichores (in a house I have zero obligations to clean).
I suspect I'll be up till 2-3am again but doing so means I can take Monday off, more or less.
I envy your ability to get things done ahead of time...!

I can say for myself that I became an avid DTer during the lockdowns and continued to drift in and out afterwards, out of habit. The Reddit blackout was a little bit of a reset switch for that habit - no longer instinctively go to r/melbourne when I open up a browser.
Still love the vibes of a/the DT (which is why I'm here!) but it stopped being such an instant thing that I opened.
halibutherring 3 points 3 years ago
Not sure how number of comments left over a 24 hour period has anything to do with "the downvoters" but OK.
My point is, it used to get 500+ comments daily. It's been limping along since the blackout, but to see the day end with a double-digit number of comments is something unique up to this point. I wonder how long until that becomes more common...

I've made this and it was just far too salty for me. I haven't made it again but I think if I do I would use mustard powder and mustard seeds and add a little light olive to make the marinade smooth.

It's all happening here this morning. We've survived an attempted invasion from Next Door's Cat. She came into the backyard and Looked at us through the back door.
Luckily Tommy the brave resident GuardCat was on the job and dealt with the situation by crying loudly and pathetically.
I banged on the door, and went out and shooed her back over the fence. And then congratulated my brave hero on scaring away the intruder. He would definitely survive in the wild.

Stop dwelling on it until you speak with them about it. It would be a bigger issue to not be able to communicate this type of thing with a potential partner imo
Outlier1031 3 points 3 years ago
I think it's one thing not to reply to a text if maybe you lived together or at least saw each other each day. But if you're doing neither of those things, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a romantic partner to text back the same day you sent them one. He may just be a good guy with poor communication skills. Maybe he had a bad relationship were his partner was texting him constantly as a form of controlling behaviour. It could be any number of things. My advice would be to talk to him about it. Be open and tell him about your past experience and how his lack of communication makes you feel. Hopefully that can help you both reach a common ground
RosaliePreistley 3 points 3 years ago
No. It leaves you wondering. Seems like a potential, keep you hanging and wondering routine. Pretty easy to send an I'm thinking of you text.

I had a very long and intense dream last night about a month long high school exchange trip to China gone very awry...
descriptions
It was constantly grey and bleak, we didn't go anywhere with nature and had to camp en masse on the school grounds, on large concrete yards under shitty tarps like refugees, fight to use the showers and protect one's own shampoo and soap at all costs. And at least a thousand of the school's own, local students had to sleep in similar configurations but with slightly nicer tents. We had school from 8-5 every weekday, were expected to study and do homework in the evenings, chores all of Saturday, and would only sometimes be allowed out on Sunday. The nearest city looked like it hadn't changed since the 80s and was suppressed under a permanent layer of smog. Come to think of it it's like smartphones didn't even exist in that dream. So maybe it was the communist 80s? Lots of brown, tartan patterns, burgundy... But no matter how miserable we were, the absolute best of us was expected during class, alongside the school's richer students who lived at home and were always very well prepared and neatly turned out.
It's now nearly 7pm and I can't shake how subtly unsettled it made me feel for absolutely no reason at all. And the smell of laundry powder just brought it all back. Like I actually went through that? Something in me feels like I really should've done something about the situation but it makes no sense.
omoikiri 4 points 3 years ago
Urgh. The ‘real’ dreams are the worst. It must have been the night for it.
spoiler
I had a really vivid dream last night about a serial killer and rapist terrorising all of Melbourne. My dream was about the news coverage of it and how he kept evading all the security cameras around Melbourne and all they could capture were shots of his shoes and cap.
There was nothing particularly directly threatening to myself in the dream, and the events of dream itself was pretty mundane, but the sense and feeling that I wasn’t safe just living my life was enough to have me waking up in a sweat.
just_kitten 2 points 3 years ago
Oh god, it's particularly bad when it hits close to home and you might recognise landmarks around you from the dream. It's that feeling of not being safe that is so discomforting and unsettling, particularly when it's completely illogical but feels so real. It's like your body experienced it on some level and has to process it while asleep?
I don't know if exposure to traumatic personal stories (or experience of such trauma in families) activates some kind of bodily memory, even though we know that threat won't ever be relevant to our lives because of distance and/or time.
just_kitten 2 points 3 years ago
Same with my dream, for the most part. I've been having lots of weird high school dreams lately tbh. Brain's interpretation of how to deal with anxiety juice coursing through the veins?

Eeeerrrrrkkkk. Not nice. Sending reassurance and hope vibes over the aether to you. I hate post-apocalyse dreams too. Doesn't stop me reading post-apoc sci fi though. Damfino why.
just_kitten 4 points 3 years ago
Thank you kindly, accepted with a hug. I find myself morbidly drawn to similar stories or reports myself - sometimes as a way of feeling something very intensely so that life makes more sense again. At some point the brain probably needs to flush out or resolve some of those vicarious experiences....?
Fwiw, I have actually visited China once, on a school trip in the late 90s, and the schools we visited were still relatively impoverished despite being in Beijing (I won't forget how their minds were blown by good quality graphic tees and sparkly pens and butterfly clips). But we had a great time being put up in hotels and travelling around in air conditioned buses. I hardly think about that trip though. Or China for that matter. I wonder if it's some kind of deep internal guilt trip thinking about how the world seems to be inching closer to conflict and instability? Dooooooom...

PeelerSheila 4 points 3 years ago
I read somewhere once that if you want to dream about something you have to think about it for a while just before you fall asleep. I find my dreams are usually a mixture of what I was thinking about before I went to sleep and some other random stuff.
PeelerSheila 5 points 3 years ago
Exercises were completed this morning (day 11) but then I took the mini peelers straight off on a shopping trip to search for costumes and ideas and things for book week. Also I needed to buy face washers/flannels (where do they all go?!). Also tbh it was to just get out of the house and away from Mr Peeler, who has had his meds changed and is playing the role of curmudgeon with dedication. On a serious note, it's interfering with his sleep so taking the kids and I out of the house so he can get some daytime shuteye is probably best for all of us. Somewhere in there I fitted in a couple of loads of washing and some dinner and now I'm sitting here looking at the clock a bit miffed that the weekend is basically over.
useless_modern_god 3 points 3 years ago
So what’s the plan for book week this year?
PeelerSheila 1 point 3 years ago
There are a few options. Most likely for the Miniest Peeler is some kind of mad hatter/Willy Wonka character (possibly a confused mashup of the two) especially as we already have a top hat and purple silk waistcoat. For the Elder Minipeeler we now have in our possession a big Garfield plushy, (purchased with pocket money) so they will go as Jon Arbuckle which would enable relatively normal clothes to be worn and the plushy to go to school as the accessory. One was going to go as Jesus but decided against it because it might cause offence. Costumes were thin on the ground this year, with heaps available for very little children who want to be princesses or superheroes and very little else.
heyheyitskay 5 points 3 years ago
I cannot feel my hands. If you are thinking of going out, I do not recommend it.
Thornburywitch 5 points 3 years ago
I remember riding one of those home from school fairly regularly when I was a lil tacker. The best fun was sitting on the window sills with one's legs dangling outside. Couldn't do it now, but as kids we were all immortal ... Then the regular train changed to the dark blue kind we called a blue flyer and the old red rattlers mostly got sold off. Do they still have pictures behind glass in each compartment?

My childhood dog ate my childhood teddy. Bills are paid electronically, but not automatically, as they need to be checked and recorded in the budget, with all payments reconciled monthly to ensure there are no errors. There is definitely no way in which a fridge should be involved in this process (except in terms of providing snacks).

With kid pics and names on things marked over and a dent on the door from when we moved it in 12 or so years ago I submit the semi chaos fridge
Edit: Damn you all have such nice fridges! Mine is daubed with the grey patches of stickers long past.

Was a pretty interesting night, with two junkies trying to pick fights with punks outside the Curtin (death metal) and Last Chance.

I spent lightyears stumbling to you,
Though no time at all has passed.
I spent lifetimes waiting for you,
Do you think this time it'll last?
The nightsky tells me it is time,
The stars and planets have aligned.
It is time, what a time to be alive,
Cosmic dust scattered into signs.

You only message when you're drunk;
I only reply when I'm stoned.
I guess that's why I don't mind so much
That we're just so out of touch.
I'm just myself, but never sober.
I'm just a shell, I can't get over
The way your eyes look endless,
When the disco lights beat in time
With my playlist.
Tell me you feel the same, even if it's a lie.
I'll pretend I'll believe you until the day I die.
Let me sleep on your couch, I'll drift off with a sigh,
I'll wake in the night, so I can get high.
Let me live everyday until I die,
I'll wake in the night so I can get high.

Not related but I saw a trailer on YT for a movie called Slotherhouse the other day and thought it was a joke

Rarely. Especially if comparing it to paying up front and not borrowing. Many years ago there were tax benefits if you drove a lot which could make it cheaper, but mostly these days it just gives you a lower monthly payment than taking a loan directly, primarily because there is a "balloon payment" at the end instead of paying off the full amount.
There is also a lot of hassle involved in doing everything, as you have to go through the lease company. They are also taking out a loan in your name - I know someone who had problems getting a home loan, and discovered that the lease company had not been paying the loan payments which had impacted their credit.

Rewatching The Durrells while I work and it's making me want to be ocean side, laying about listening to the water while a cool sea breeze blows around me.

HEHEHE jumping on the Baldur's Gate 3 craze, by borrowing my partner's copy. Of course, I won't be able to play until tomorrow night when they're at work, but I'm excited. Last I played was like October of 2020 so it was EARLY days of the Early Access.

I feel that. I have a few games to finish too.
But... why not have another game, as a little treat.

So in today's DT impulse purchases news it's day 3? Of sleeping on the new memory foam pillow suggested by @wscholermann and although I'm no connoisseur of memory foam pillows (I used to hate them) I'm sold - much better neck and shoulder position, lovely feeling of softness and support - I fell asleep much faster. The real test however is trying it out back at my place with no central heating and fancy mattress. I'll find out next Friday.
I also ordered a goddamn acupressure mat and pillow with the last of my gift card, inspired by @calhoon2005 and a serendipitous discussion of Shakti mats the very next day with the massage therapist. I didn't know it was a bit of a fad item but it seems legit - figure it's far cheaper than regular massages. The items should be here by Wednesday, fingers crossed - I really want to see if it helps with my morning headaches and pre sleep muscle tension.

Right on.

I just did some half arsed gardening after a very long time (pruning a small row of salvia with small secateurs because that's all I could access, digging up a small garden bed for annuals, fertilising) and I wish that mat was here right now!
