Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Hi, pals. Thanks for the lovely welcome yesterday, I’ve missed my crew. Now I need to ask the old person question of: how the flippin flip do I use this thing? Is there an app or browser only? 😵💫
Hehe. I use a browser. I just leave it open in Chrome.
gang 🤜
🤛 POW
same 🖖
👍
Ditto.
👌
me too (four?)
🤝
App on Apple - voyager
App on Android - sync
There are others, but these are the most polished
Hiii lemondrop 🌞, welcome. I’ve just used the web browser the whole time honestly. When I tried the jerboa app it was pretty janky. They made improvements though which I haven’t tried because I’ve just gotten used to the browser version 🤷♂️
Jerboa is still janky, bit gets very slightly less janky every update
I use Jerboa for Android (available on the playstore), or the browser on my phone/pc. I find Jerboa to okay, it’s updated often, but is still a bit janky as others have said.
The browser on my phone remembers my login, so that is an option as well.
Edit: also, Jerboa allows spoilers but you have to manually do the code for it, as the button isn’t available yet. Whereas the browser versions you can highlight one’s text and click the spoiler button to hide it.
I use a browser but I go through wefwef.app.
It’s ok but still lacking features and is a work in progress.
I haven’t seen people mention Connect for Android. It’s pretty decent! I don’t use it on the browser. Try the app!
I use memmy on my iPhone, but it’s a work in progress
Last I looked there were at least 7 apps for iPhone in various stages of development, I have settled on Liftoff! for the moment but have Voyager and Avelon as well.
Oof I’m an emotional mess this afternoon. I’m going to go and hide.
Oh Bull. You were on such a high last night because the Storm romped it home. Was it the Jim Beam? Because that shit will fuck you up.

It’s the alcohol, you had a depressant. Relax, all is truly well 💜
Ayy join the club.
Good morning to everyone except the guy a few doors down who is running his boat engines.
The ocean is —> that way
he’s just getting ready for climate change
Little bastard is now asleep on his sheepskin with his little fluffy face resting on the edge that I curl up into a pillow. Is he spoiled?
Perhaps ‘ruined’ would be more accurate … but he is hardly alone in that here in the petiverse of the DT.
Very much so.
Speaking of spoiled, peanut butter toast(all smooth and gooey) devoured while basking on a deck chair out the front in the sun.
mmm, peanut butter toast 🤤
I actually find dating, or the experience of even trying to get a date an incredibly draining and toxic experience, and yet some people apparently enjoy it?
It’s liberating to give up and throw in the towel. All of the stress, the pressure and the disappointment is gone.
I like banging my head against a brick wall until I eventually knock the wall down. Does it hurt? Yes. Does it feel awesome when the wall comes down? Also yes.
Replace when the wall comes down with if and that would be a more accurate assessment of the situation for many.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @wscholermann I used this exact terminology in a message a few days ago to a guy I’d had a couple of good dates with who communicates so sporadically that I have a very hard time believing he’s genuine. There’s a feeling of exhausted resignation, but I do seem to be willing to bang my head a few more times, just in case the wall does actually crack.
Nothing wrong with giving yourself breathing space.
Decent effort this week, probably not up to some of your standards though 😅
That’s fantastic. I want to know why on Fridays you’re not getting around as much?
I played tennis all days except Sunday and Friday (this week). Friday I didn’t do much - went for a walk, walked around Aldi & Coles and got back home! In other words, Friday was a rest day because I’ve been doing too much physical activity recently. I should reduce!
Also should mention that I WFH on Friday so I don’t get the steps in to and from the office.
Oh. That makes sense. I thought it might have been because you wfh that day or maybe it was your weekend.
That’s an awesome effort! I manage between 4,000 and 6,000 steps on a normal day and my feet are asking me to stop so I have to be content with that. Well done!
That is AWESOOOME ( and far beyond what I do )
Garmin reckons an average active person does about 7,500 a day. Fewer than 10% manage an average above 10,000 per day.
I say you’ve done an outstanding effort, here.
The meowing/yelling, the meowing/yelling, pretty much since 1 am. I am so tired. Why?
One of mine doesn’t yell, he belts his bowl around. So you get this ceramic ringing on tile racket that could wake the dead.
Miss Meow’s preferred night time annoyance is to lie on my shoulder and purr loudly directly into my ear. It’s amazing just how loud a purr can be at that close range.
A long ago cat had a taste for earwax…
Many cats will go nuts for earwax.
Don’t ask me how I know this.
it’s harmless!
I’ve caught my cat licking my headphone earbuds. Ew.
Earwax is full of animal protein and fat, and cats can’t seem to taste the bitterness that humans do. Possibly the most humane and sustainable treat you can offer your cat!
ew. Fortunately I don’t have that indignity in the middle of the night.
🤮
Miss Meow has just demonstrated her hunting prowess by tracking down and overpowering an apple core Mr Woof declined to eat earlier in the day. Who says pets need expensive toys?
Edited to fix a mis-typing in Mr Woof. Calling him Mr Wood is just going to lead to strange thoughts and misunderstandings.

I guess that supermarket trip wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.

Household tip #42. Always open the carton and give each one a little jingle because sometimes they are stuck to the carton and it’s not until you go to get one your fingers penetrate the delicate shell leaving egg everywhere. Please learn from my mistakes.

Ooo. Tread carefully.🤞
Can you maybe get an exchange from the supermarket?

Good point!
Exercises completed. I used to not be able to plank at all, but now I can manage about 30 seconds twice in the session, which is still a bit lame but it’s an improvement and I’m getting there, so I’m proud of it! This after taking Minipeelers to Bounce and then wandering around shopping for most of the day. Bought some stuff that amused the kids, like a wiggly rubbery joke banana and a noise making chicken with a red bikini on. Bought some new glassware (where does it go?) and a refillable spice organiser thing so I can get rid of all those little spice packets with pegs on I’ve got cluttering up a couple of shelves in the kitchen. Also bought Mr Peeler a new dressing gown, as his old one is pushing the boundaries of decency. I’m knackered! Still did a couple of assaults on Mt Washmore, otherwise it becomes too formidable a task. Also played a little basketball with the Elder Minipeeler. Now enjoying a nice cup of tea.
you are the best of us.
Aww you’re too kind!
My morning tea just tried to kill me. Apparently shoving the whole last section into my mouth was not a good idea. The icing on top stuck the whole thing to the roof of my mouth like denture paste, leaving me with a solidly stuck hunk of bread completely out of reach of any chewing. Fortunately after much effort I managed to move it as clawing a mass of bread and icing out of my mouth in the middle of my work break room would have been a touch embarrasing.
Need to attend the grocery store but I have the disposition of a two year old thanks to heat and sleep, good luck to myself and those around me.
Shopping list for Bunnings done. Mulch, rosemary, peppermint and Vietnamese mint. What are the chances I will get just those things and not anything extra?
I really don’t like your chances of not coming back with, at a minimum, 3 more items that you didn’t know you needed when you walked in the door …
It’s all in the gardening department, use their door and don’t browse. Be quick. I got in-n-out with just potting mix the other day.
That’s the basic plan. My normal run is some mulch and manure, straight in & out with no deviations. The danger here is the plants. They keep them with all of these other plants I will have to look through to find what I’m after. The temptation will be real.
Going to bunnings Mentone? That aldi and spotlight will fuck you uppppppp
Fuck I love Spotlight; I buy embrodery threads there to darn socks and pants, and make bracelets with - but they’re so exxy 😭
Beware the off cuts bin
I get all my cushion covers and serviettes there.
I love my Hungry Caterpillar curtain
His Lordship saw a bubble-o-bill doona cover last week when we went up for the bedding sale and absolutely impulse bought that shit. They do up to king size, so they know their audience
You neeeed a tin plate echidna 🦔
Shut up wattlebirds! I love them but for goodness sake, does it have to be 5:30ish every morning‽

Argh, the anxiety about (possibly) returning to work soon must be hitting - I’ve not long woken up from a dream when I haven’t been well enough to attend school in ages and I don’t even remember who my form coordinator is and I don’t know what I should do about my HSC exams and…
Please note HSC, which I sat and passed quite respectably in 1984.
