holy cornball
those are so good

weak
Saturday FUCKERS
lets see you try to pull 1 horsepower
Itās the weekend!!!
Democracy done another cycle, can finally stopped being harassed when using PT for a little while again
good sausage?
I didn't buy any, but yes they had them, it's unaustralian for a polling place not to have them
fuckin oath
forgot to takw photo because i wolfed down the democracy sausage
my place doesnt have sausages for some reason :c
@sudden karma likes sausages
legally i dont think the votes at the polling station counts then
Sounds like they've hit a snag
from Bunnings fuck yeah
it's a joke DW
Isnāt the snag like the whole incentive to give a proper vote and not write something like āScomo did shit himself at an Engadine maccas after the Cronulla match in 1997ā
Or something less wordy like Mickey Mouse
I wouldnāt know Iām not 18 yet so I havenāt exactly voted
I canāt wait for all this political jibber jabber to be over so all the bloody political ads stop appearing on YouTube
im just being dumb you number two pieces of paper lol
No, mostly just tradition at this point. A lot of places use it for fundraising
gamsgo costs like $5 a month and joins you into someoneās google family plan so you get youtube premium for a hooj discount
I go to a local school to vote they have polling stations setup, so all the food and such is just for their fundraising
Nah I think the politician ads stop after tonight and then they return to the regular 5 second random ads
thatās what most places are
Either a school or community centre
yeah our voting is done at the local schools/town halls
Howās everyoneās Saturday?
Complaining about cloud
@still wadi alright, wake up.
THE AUSTRALIAN IS HERE
Thatās so real
Anywhere up on that top bridge it gets all up in your eyes
Bro, bring out the canonš
In camera terms it's 3366mm f4.4
Just been defeated by dew, had to pack up
damn
tf is this thing is this yours lol?
No, I get access to it
jeusus
where the hell you got access to that beast
sunday fuckers
Astrononmy club. Can only use it if observing night, though that's typically times I'd be out anyway. I help setup and all that, on the quiet nights sometimes just about get it to myself
Just needs 2-3 people to setup. The telescope never moves, the shed is on rails and the shed is pushed off the scope rather than the scope moved out of the shed
damn, i thought my camera took a long time to setup
waddup stinkers
Me too! What are you looking at getting?
Anything really
I sorta want a tele first just cause most of my work is done on a tele
what kind of focal length do you need?
I'm prolly gonna get a EF 100-400ii
Goated lens
ahemm..
the double lines?
dw š¤«
so?
hopped on after 1 hr
its called dinner lil bro
man its 6pm
i have dinner at 5:30
dinner at 5:30??
i have dinner at 6:30, yet my friends have dinner at 9
like??
I wouldnāt mind a 150-600mm
1000-1200 for the contemporary in really good condition
even new its like 1250
Iāve got a PD shell and I can always get a lens coat for it so there goes the want for the sport model
A sports photographer told me to go with a canon 100-400 and a 1.4X instead of the 150-600 but nah thatās like a 140-560 f/6.3-7.8
the 150-600 supposedly has production issues and lens variance is wild
If I get one then hopefully Iāll get a good copy of it then
AWP GOD
What game is this?
cs2
IT IS CS2
potato ass graphics
bc the vid is 10mb
and i run a 1060
did you see the clutch tho?
i agree
I was standing anout 3m from the exhaust lmao
happy peyton day
Brrrrr itās cold and I do not want to work my 6:30 start š
nope
gulp
No thatās not the deal you got offered the final Monday of April under conditions that you never met
Those McLaren's are just on another level this year
Yup!
hell yeah
New Aussie Unlocked!
our boys keep on winning
Oscar the goat rn
i think oscar could be WDC this yeaar
nah lando just keep bottling the start
he dropped like 5 places this race
Only reason he came second was cause that car is so quick
To be fair, Lando was slowly reeling Oscar in towards the end. He just always manages to fuck himself up one way or another
wouldnāt have needed to reel him in if he wasnāt shit at the race start 
related: danny fucking ric
love your send it up the inside overtake highlights reel mate but you wouldnāt need to do it so much if your quali wasnāt dogshit
As much as I loved Danny Oscar is the best Australian driver in a long time
hard agree
Daniel did deserve a championship tho, he had really poor luck
they did Daniel dirty at red bull tbh
yeah they did for sure
really had to have gone to merc after rosberg retired to have a sniff of wdc hey
but no way would merc have signed anyone who was going to openly race lewis after 2016
Bruh I start work at 6 now š
Supposed to be 6:30 but Reagan got injuref
ouch
I only start at 530 one day of the week
Can't imagine all 5
My scheduled shifts are 7:30-3:30 but I end uo working 6-5 lol
Itās ok though Iām being taught a lot and I enjoy it
tuesday FUCKERS
anyways
i am putting wayy to much effort into my english assignment
If you're up this early (or late) on it you might be right
bruh
me and my bri are panicking about HW at 4 am in da mornin
anyways it took 5 hours of video editing to finish it
Yikes
Iām so happy I dropped out of uni
No homework. My pay is kinda shit at the moment but I just work in work hours, nothing to do at home
Geez
5 hours of work on a single piece of homework is wild
it was a marathon
My homework is to look at an article on a class onenote
We were given it on Friday and itās due Thursday that is SIX DAYS to do it the teacher didnāt even specify that we had to read the article
finally got my year 12 jacket 
lol
Ikr
Iām gonna point out the flaw in her instructions in our next lesson š¤£
oof
I lose my free lesson on Thursday because instead of doing nothing weāre meant to go do our next drone flight
I need time to plan for my shoot this weekend
imagine giving out an assignment, then having your students just not doing it bcuz you wrote it incorrectly
Information that wouldāve been helpful at least several weeks ago has been available for a couple days
ok lol
At this point Iāve only got a rough idea of how long itāll be
Iād say about 6 hours
happy (no) wednesday!
Happy smeet day everyone
Whatās a vector file?
i remember last year i got mine in like, august and my school only let us wear it on fridays bc apparently wearing our hoodies instead of blazers made the school look bad
that was a time
My schools really tight on uniform for the junior kids, they don't really care about us
I barely wear the right uniform anymore, just whatever's comfy
they prob cared about the year 12s the most at my school because they are supposed to set the example for the rest of the students or whatever
They same the same about us but then never enforce it
We're almost done anyway
I haven't worn my school dress shoes in like 3 years
they enforce wearing the school socks here like
you cant even wear no brand white socks
you have to wear the school ones with the little stripes near the top of the sock
and wearing the wrong socks is considered just as bad of a uniform violation as everything else
i just wear whatever is on top of my sock pile lol
they did enforce wearing the sport uniform at the start of the year but they dont do it anymore
thats kinda strict
never touched digital design ever
me too lol
Would've thought most people would know what a vector file is
Just a file you can blow up to ridiculous sizes without losing quality
Nope, never done digital design
ever heard of a .mmd file?
arent those the files used in project diva?
and those goofy anime 3d animations?
How am I meant to make someone understand that I require 2 seperate lenses for a shoot each one for a specific job during it?
idk, usually these kinda people are already difficult enough to talk to
I need a short telephoto lens (my 70-200) so I can do shots where I donāt want to be right up close to the people and then a wide zoom lens (my 17-40) for shots when Iām right up in the action like within a metre or two
ok lol
Iām stubborn as all shit and the person I have to relay this to is worse then me
Every job requires different tools this specific job requires 2 lenses, a flash, 2 sd cards and spare batteries for the flash
I also need my camera itāll be a bit hard to take photos without it
lol
imma actually take a picture with my eyes and send it to you guys via neuralink shareā¢
why lug the camera around it's heavy just imagine the photos and draw them after
But the pencils and paper and pens and colours are larger then the camera
Wait up what if I draw the entire sequence of events like itās a cartoon would that be efficient? Just a heads up, Iām not very good at drawing
That's ok stick figures will do
Thatās a little bit of my league
Too advanced
How about a couple of lines that I draw using a ruler that somehow come out wonky and a few not very circular circles?
Bruh Iāve woken up sick but I dokt want to pull a sickie with 4 people off work at the moment and Iām only on my second week at the new job š
Better to call in sick then go to work and get everyone else sick and make yourself worse
noice
f1 was the most stressful ticket buying operation ive done
they sold 250k tickets in under 10 minutes
the website crashed 4 different times
thats actually FUCKED
i was hoping to get first release prices but i got in really fast and it was already down to third release
jesus
third release is $35 more expensive per ticket than first release, and i got 2 tickets š
couldve bought like 2 cheeseburger meals for that much š
unironically maybe 3 cheeseburger meals
its fucking horrible
hey atleast monopoly is coming back soon š¤
Is that good?
Depends on who you are
hello australian goobers
Hello
hello there
AHHHHHHH GENERAL KENOBI
i dont get the reference srry
hey man don't mean to scare you but that's the wrong line
lol
its not
i will legally fistfight a mcdonalds employee over a star wars reference
I did my file management for my shoot this weekend!
he doesnt not scream
ok lol
It took so long thereās 1 main file that has 14 sub files which each contain 2 more files
lmao wtf
Itās fights so what Iāve done is Iāve created 1 main file, 1 file for each rostered fight and those files have a file for the weigh ins and a second one for the fight itself
Itās a lot of files but Iāve done it this way so that the client can find exactly what theyāre looking for right away
Instead of having to look through hundreds of photos to find a specific thing they can go to the file for the rostered fight and then have access to the weigh in photos and fight photos which are separated
Makes sense doesnāt it?
should i buy a steam deck for my upcoming school trip?
SINCE IM NOT SPENDING 8HR'S ON A BUS WITH MY GRADE MAN
yes
if you have data and your school allows it
can anyone tell me what is smeet day and why it was created
because i keep seeing you guys mention it
I'm yet to get a day off, so I no longer recognize smeet day
is thursday smeet day?
wednesday
ok lol
we are still yet to get a day off thought so not happy
Well I got yesterday off and when Iām at school on Smeet Day I finish early
HAPPY FRIDAY GOOBERS
friday fuckers/gooners/goobers/whoeverthatf1driveris
soooooo what should we do when we see our ex's with their new bf's by mistake?
nothing?
its lando norris
speaking of mclaren i might get to go to a mclaren dealership for school
WHAT
NOT FAIR
: (
stop crying you crybaby
no
i also might get to go to porsche too
youre joking
what the fuck is this convo
try and figuire it out
voom vooms
meanwhile my school:
Hey guys! were going to the royal botanical gardens, heres a 800 word essay for you to do about it in one day, Have fun!
we havent been to the botanical gardens since primary school personally
dw we have to do a 12hr bus trip to the city of sin
eugh Adelaide
its not, everyone (but me and teachers) vape
my statement still stands
i also might be able to bring my camera
even better
what the fuck does vaping have to do with a bus trip
smoking in an enclosed area or vehicle is illegal unless its a personal vehicle anyway
they dont care, they will do it
at least the bus will smell like watermelon or whatever instead of puke
lol
Yeah but when has things being illegal ever stopped them from happening?
Itāll be some kind of fruity hippie shit
i think its tobacco flavored the ones they have
thatās not how a vape works vro
it is, you can get any flavour vape these days
Iāve heard of a vape flavour called āFTPā
The hell is that meant to taste like? Bacon?
Tobacco isnāt a flavor tho itās the drug thatās in it
nicotine being the specific drug
ftp meaning to me is "functional treshold power"
no Tabacco IS a flavor
happy saturday fuckers!!!
literally says it in the TGA
lex its 5:35 am here
take a wild guess
nerd
In this case FTP is meaning āf*** the policeā
how the fuck would that be a vape flavour?
Could not tell you
Maybe its bacon flavoured I donāt know Iāve tried a vape before and I absolutely hate it
thats like saying "concreate rubber hypoxia"
š„
Itās a very good Saturday
Now that the cadet work is done the real work starts
yeah but u being drunk is normal here
Roger
Me too!
Iām setting up my office on location
Letās get this shit going!!!
erm why is smeet muted
He asked to
Imagine
how the fuck can you still talk here
Idk
Well get out
Fuck you, you get out you yankee cunt
is that darwin?
Nah magnetic island
why the fuck are you telling him to get out
You're not even Aussie
big hands brah
Onto my second 64gb card
interesting
average truck driver under the Montague Street bridge
indecent exposure
crikey mate
noice
Processing that data will be a not tonight job
Well todays been a fun day, reasonable morning birding, no photos to write home about but got some new birds.. Then more PC issues, C drive decided it wanted to fail, though I suspect it dying was the cause of other issues
I agree today was rather fun
I got to feel American today I was playing with pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, light machine guns and 50 cal machine guns
Nice
Really long shoot tonight but I did get a ticket to grab a free meal
I watched a guy dislocate his shoulder and then get it popped into place right after
happy sunday goobers
Whatās up fuckers
Yes
time zones are weird
On the piss earlier then me
I wonāt be drinking today I had a shot with the old man last night Iāve got too much image processing to do
Well he is at a bucks, being 24/7 drunk is mandatory
Indeed
looking flash Smeet
smeet.
nuh uh
you saw nothing
yuh uh
what was it lmfao
I'm not saying

feet pics 100%
no
yes
You wish
can have shoe pics if u want
Yes
lol
zesty ahh smeet
I look good tho
are you a gay man
real
let ton
Big Dogg misses me so much he face timed me this morning
crazy
cold
Why is Smeet muted
By request because of being intoxicated all weekend
Yeah fair enough
ok lol
happy monday yappers
fuck you sony users š
Relax pal
youre absolutely right
@lament smelt sorry bout my midnight rampage
fuck olympus shooters
when is the government regulating olympus cameras?
bro, you have the olympus tag
Best bloody weekend in ages too bad itās over
yes its correct
some things olympus does makes lil sense (omd12)
It is 2025 and I never thought I'd ever see a PS/2 connector on a new socket 1851 motherboard.
The last time I had hardware that used that interface was back in 2004.
ive got 2 on mine
i'm guessing here: you're on the AMD side of the fence?
Yeah
Built my PC when there was still the issues with 13/14th gen and didn't feel like risking it
The 5 7600 fit my budget nicely aswell
Fair enough..I switched to Intel about 2010, I know there are some things AMD CPUs do better, but there are also things Intel are better optimised for.
I'm just getting a middle of the road 1851 CPU - i'm waiting for Intel to fix the issues in the current generation before springing for a higher end CPU.
Intel got very complacent, then yeah 13/14th gen had issues with their cpu's committing sudoku
apparently due to a thing as basic as voltage regulation - quite a design blooper there intel.
im on 11th gen cant complain
It went deeper than that, after firmware updates to reduce that voltage, they still suffer from degradation, it's still a fault in manufacture/design
(the core ultra cpu can go sudoku themselves)
At most dropping voltage may just push the non top tier ones to last long enough to outlive its useful life, but still have a higher failure rate than they should
oh I have colleagues that build servers using 13/14th gen Intel CPU's that have had nearly constant warranty issues.
Xeons are too expensive for some markets, so standard consumer hardware is often used in some situations....and that is where the problems start.
Yeah sounds about right. Apparently maintenance contracts for those cpu's had a big ramp up in cost to factor in that high failure rate lol
My current NAS is running a 12th gen intel CPU - it has been extremely stable, though the ram pool has been expanded considerably up to 256Gb š
Some VMs really chew up resources.
Nice
I've had all sorts of PC issues as of late, had my c drive (m.2 ssd) fail over the weekend
Otherwise for quite some time been getting random black screen, never worked out the underlying issue, thinking it's the mobo as far as I can tell, just annoying to fault find very intermittent issues
That's no fun - hate to be the bearer of bad news but if the controller is dead the entire drive is fluffie'd.
Out of all my drives to fail, it's probably one I'm fine with funnily enough
I usually don't store much important on c drive, mostly keep it for OS ofc, and just programs/games. Got other drives for the bigger storage, made some backups when I had other issues, but still need a better long term solution
Build a NAS, it doesn't need to have bleeding edge hardware - just get a chassis with a solid backplane for a RAID array and shit load of hard drives.
That ought to cover the basics.
Yeah I've tossed up the idea, something with atleast some redundancy that can be fixed would give some peace of mind
I'm planning on turning my current build into a NAS when I upgrade the CPU
May aswell keep the 5 7600 it's a great CPU
I have an SSD NAS - which I have set to RAID 1, which is a single drive redundancy , I have another NAS set to RAID 10 with platter based Hard drives which I use to store larger raw file libraries long term.
Probably should have kept my old build for that, but eh, it's gone now
Only kept the old i7 to potentially turn into one of those keychain cpu's
nas probably better with lower power cpu anyway I suppose, doesn't need much to run it
I've considered doing that to my CPU collection but it would turn out to be ever so slightly more than just a keychain.
lol
I actively see my ryzen 5 7600 pulling like 10 watts idling
I love the 65w or whatever it is TDP
That i7 (i7 2600) had a rather long life, so it's my only old cpu atp
Still pretty damn powerful aswell
Still amazed I got around 13 years out of it
You should hook the 5070 up to it
My SSD Nas runs off 21W of power, the platter based NAS chews up close to 60Watts. But that power consumption is utterly dwarfed by my main PCs.
I have a 750w and I pull like 250w out of it 
I don't think the fan even turns on at that low of a wattage
I'm also pretty sure my fans pull more power then my cpu atp
did you strap a 12" mistral ceiling fan to the side of your case or something?
No the 5 7600 just pulls like nothing
is the 4070 super worth it or should i just get a 4080?
i think that depends on what price you can get it for and what you need from a gpu
i just need it for like some editing and light gaming
4070s will cover that then, price difference is pretty significant
On the gaming end I'd only consider 4080 if you care about pushing decent frame rates at 4k without dropping settings
Productivity/editing it'll do fine, if you need anything more you'd probably already know (usually more vram helps, but 4070s is more than sufficient for most producitity work)
ok thx
does raid 10 work on SSD based nas? since its a problem of tbw?
also
tuesday fuchkers
I'm pretty sure it can be used, you would just want to be sure to use enterprise class NAS drives for it.
is there any major diffrenance between enterprise and data center class?
is 96gb of Vram enough for a 1gp pano inage?
hardware error checking and top grade warranty and tech support. - not the consumer crap
happy tuesday goobers
anyone doing anything today?
Does processing images and uploading them to a Google Drive count?
when are we evicting this person?
Iāve got 2 sets of photos that I have to do tonight and then Iāll slowly work through the rest
i still have a bunch to process, but couldnt find time to yet
I havenāt finished mine because of a total lack of motivation (thanks to being bugged about specific photos that I donāt if I took because I took THOUSANDS)
me too
zero motivation
Iāve got school and everything
Shouldnāt I be prioritising my year 11 assessment over making a couple bucks?
yes
lol
i have yr 9 exams coming up as well
Year 9 isnāt too important but it does set you up for your senior subjects
I did well in year 9 science and English so I was able to do a Certificate ii as a year 10 elective and getting that certificate got me into a certificate iii where Iāll get my RePL and AROC
oooohhh fancy
is english even a neccesary subject tho???
i dont think i will be writing teel paragraphs on a daily basis
I got my certificate ii paid for by my VETis funds and it was part of the guaranteed certificate iii program so by completing that I also get the next course paid for
Yeah not sure about other states but in Queensland you need a tick for English to say that you are literate to at least the legal minimums
Have to pass English and math
You have to do at least okay in English and math
yeah, ik
Do you know what career path you want to go into yet?
probably mechanical engineering or smth like that
Donāt screw up like me
In case that career doesnāt work out set yourself up so that you have other options
I set myself up with skills intending to get into the military but my application got pulled for medical reasons so I sorta havenāt figured out my alternatives yet
Nah Iāll probably finish my cert iii and get my year 12 then do a diploma in aeroskills to become a LAME and work for QGAIR or Laidos or REX or something I donāt know yet
ok cool!
its the guy who swears too much
Yeah so basically set yourself up so you can get into other career fields in case your first option doesnāt end up happening
Me?
hi
Shit I need to up my game Iām from the north
lol
im norther tho
what, cairns?
No thatās me
lol
Kana is Darwin
you mean down south
its a joke
Kana lives further north than me but I live near the most northern point on the continent
ok lol
Closest airport to the tip would probably be Bamaga and the flight time from my city is shortest
In a way I am further north because Iām closer to the most northern point on the continent then kana
how did we get to this conversation in the first place
nu uh
For me itās a shorter distance to the most northern point on the continent
Idk
oh
how do you guys tolerate the heat
its so hot up there
anyways, should i get a bike license instead or a car license
bike are cheaper and more fun after all
Get both. Car is more versatile and worth having licence, bike naturally has it's uses, but typically more hobby
Yeah order doesn't matter too much. Sounds like bike will do what you want, car just opens up options later and worth atleast having licence, even if you don't use it for a while
Once you have it it's just a matter of renewals, can get 10 year licences now
ok
its not that hot rn
anyways
happy @patent pecan day!
but we just tolerate the heat ig
Generally not that bad
happy smeet day!
Happy stop yapping day
bamaga mentioned ššš
I do believe Iām the first person to ever spot there
This is two separate wrecks around the airport, one of them was like a 6km walk through the bush
and I spotted my Skytrans flight as it arrives but I canāt find the photos
Happy smeet day
Still no day off, I shall continue to not recognise smeet day until I get days off
This wasn't what the agreement was
More processing tonight š¤¦āāļø
Goal is to process and upload another five sets of images to the Google drive tonight
first day back from the bender.... also not acknowledging it
How was the bender?
Good. Bad that itās over
Back in Townsville will be good - Iāve been on FR24 and Iāve seen the yanks flying around ospreys
Last couple days the marines have been flying ospreys around out of RAAF Townsville Iām guessing theyāre flying over High Range
@vivid verge I should be going to Lavarack Barracks at the end of next month - reckon Iāll get to see any of the cool stuff thatās being used in Talisman Sabre?
You should. Iāve already seen a bunch of stuff come through the port
And yeah ospreys fucking everywhere. Jets flying over this afternoon. I work pretty close to the raaf base, just down the road
Last time there was helicopters flying down your way and a little further south then we had special forces guys and all manner of warships up here
Idrk about army vehicles and stuff
no Blackhawks up their atm so you might get chinooks on the parade grounds
Townsville airport will have a shit ton of stuff tho
happy thursday goobers
Nearly the weekend
Off to Melbourne again Friday
To Melbourne from the sounds
Talisman Sabre starts the week after all the cadets post out of Lavarack Barracks š¤¦āāļø
go to sleep goober
uhh staying a night in Richmond then playing footy at box hill on the Saturday morning then flying out that night
Finishing off the shoot tonight Iāve gotta go process and upload the last of the photos and send some files off to people
noice stuff
Theyāll go sit in the google drive for all eternity while I never look at 99% of them ever again š
lol
Itās a fair bit of work so not having to see them will be my second reward
Already had my first one
btw, do you have any tips on how to start up a photography business?
I do not. I donāt have a business, I just take jobs and go on assignments here and there
oh ok
i thought you had a business
This one here was a one off job and my last shoot which was for the RAN was an assignment
like the navy?
Yes, THE Royal Australian Navy.
woah, thats cool
Iām a public affairs qualified cadet I get assignments from my HQ but in this case I received an assignment from a senior naval officer
so the navy told you to take some photos for them
I was offered the assignment 24 hours beforehand
It was completely my choice whether or not I took this assignment - I did take it and it was an incredibly good decision
ok lol
They didnāt have a military photographer available so I got offered the assignment
I got a Commanding Officerās Challenge Coin and a Commanding Officerās Bravo Zulu
i have no idea what that means, but good job!
I do have complete access to the files as do the RAN I just donāt touch them
ok
howdy peeps
howdy
hru toast?
A COās Bravo Zulu is like a certificate to say ācongrats on your hard yakkaā and itās presented in a fancy leather folder by the specific Commanding Officer
ok lol
tired
but i just had a monster, so now i cant sleep
It sounds fairly insignificant but thatās not the case - itās an actual military award itās so incredibly rare that cadets get these so when they do itās a BIG deal
nice. (not sarcastic, i just dont know how to reply)
Yeah neither
Iāve got this final set of photos uploading and then Iām finished with this shoot
what did you take pictures of anyways
Literal violence
I was working at a fight night there was some good injuries
oh ok
i expected more promotional stuff lol
Not this time
haha lol
I had to watch people get some pretty horrendous looking injuries and I was on the side of the ring so I got a very good view of it
ouch
anyways
i was looking at some hasselblad sample images
they are actually insane
I watched a guy get his nose broken then later I watched a guy dislocate his shoulder before the doctor came in and popped it back in place IN THE RING
a ring? as in a boxing ring?
Something like that
It was kickboxing
Not a pretty sight or something pleasant to think about but itās martial arts injuries happen, I knew damn well what I was getting myself into
DONE!!!
Thatās a huge weight off my shoulders
sigh gonna need a new drive sson
im guessing genshift is your gacha games drive
yeah
not really interested in its gameplay
i honestly think zzz's gameplay is actually better than genshin's
animation and gameplay i agree its wayy better but i like playing genshin more
true
happier friday goobers
why is this so dead
It's work/school
It also just goes through phases of activity, right now I'm in a bit of a lull for discord activity
Still around, just less so than usual
Then on my random weather nerd stuff for Peyton, looks like he has another potential death noodle outbreak in a few days.. God I'd love it if (empty) parts of Aus got these conditions

Iām fine for day 3
Day 4 is okay
Probably get some hail
But check out today thereās a 15% hatched
Thought you'd be in 10-15% for d4, but apparently I can't geography, was looking at Kansas
I am in 15% for day 4
Just not Kansas
The yellow
Eastern Nebraska
Happy Saturday
slept 13 hours
its been a rainy saturday today
got 2 basketball games to go to and a party
and ive already worked lol
Decent weather here, supposed to be cloudy later.. unsurprising, some unexpected solar activity means possible Aurora
I hope itās not raining tomorrow I have to go outside and do some painting
yeh I just had to play in ur shit ass Melbourne weather
yeah it's been shit today
You came on the worst day lol
no
id rather TdF
I mean ... if you must watch NRL, that's the only time it's worth it, but only if Roy & HG are running commentary
Wasn't there a big flare a few days ago?
NVM,I just checked..
Considering the recent budget cuts for which the orange shitgibbon is ultimately responsible, I don't think we can rely on data from the NOAA so much anymore.
Nah their data hasn't degraded, the flare was a limb flare, typically CME's from the limb don't hit, or aren't all that impactful. In the end, someone got aurora photo at port macquarie last night
The error bars have always been big on anything astro
CME's kept me awake one night some time ago
Why would they keep you awake
why would eating spiders keep someone awake?
@static ruin
Had looked at that last night, 10% sig tornado pushing close to your area
Which 24-70?
Canon EF 24-70 F4 IS USM
Ah very nice
na we chillin
10% barely in NE and its got a ways to go til it hits me
i am in the 15% hatched for hail so rip my car again
my poor car getting violated by hail
Iām back
bet
Iāll see whoās going and then Iāll decide whether or not I will
Solid inversion cap, it'll probably produce some of those 'mothership' looking supercells with that giant hail, has that going for it
great
just what i wanted to hear

nice!
it arrived
nice!
How is it other then the fungus or whatever is on the front element
perfect
i think its just a little of the anti reflective coating, not an issue for me
might be if it gets worse but im careful with my gear
I should probably get my batteries charged and my sd cards formatted
I donāt know what Iām doing this weekend yet Iāll have to see but Iāll get my kit ready just in case
its monday man
Just charge batteries everytime you get back from using the camera, easier to have it always ready to go
Where buy social batteries
the social shop
Fr
@static ruin got some storms moving in
Judging by the past radar theyāre gonna go north of me
tuesday citizens of aus lounge (aka storm watching lounge)
It's so fucking cold
real
Confirmed tornado west of me moving northeast
šš
We chillin itās staying in rural areas
wazgud tuesday gooberinos
Tshirt weather
Just wish this rain would bugger off. Seems there's chance of clear skies this weekend for astro š
And near freezing temps with that
my car made it without any new hail damage that I know of š
AGREED!
It got below 20 degrees this morning
bro it was 4 this morning down here
im jelous
Your version of cold and my version cold are very different remember
real it was so bad this morning
i had to walk to school
my bike broke š¦
the brake mount snapped of the front sus
and the disk is bent beyon repair
like the actual mount snapped off
full brake replacement incoming lmao
i need:
new front sus
front disk
new front brakes
shit gonna be expensive
oh thats sick
i want a gravel bike soon
i barely do mountain biking now i just dont have a use for it
what bike?
im not sure
ok lol
id just like to invest in one
i can help you choose
fits my use
whats your budget
ive got a rough idea but i havent thought at all because i have other things to buy first
bike still works
itll get me through till i get my license at the end of the year
yeah im prolly just gonna get like a regular bike
id like to build a bike one day tho
ok
Melbourne weather and FNQ weather are a little different
whats fnq?
If we go from like 23 degrees and sunny not a cloud in the sky at 9am and by midday itās 34 and a lightning storm that is considered normal
Far North Queensland Iād say itās sorta from Townsville and further north - not sure where exactly it starts
ok lol
Itās an interesting region
We seem to have every single environment known to Australia except snowy alps
Weāre starting to get below 20 degrees itās a bit cool
Fun day here, Sydney train network entirely stuffed, 3 hours and not gone anywhere
On another note, now time for pub dinner, not like I can travel
ugh that really sucks.
It does... Had an amazing parmi as a result though, so have that going for me tonight
random question:
Which state in your opinion has the best public transport system
At current time, certainly not Sydney
lol
i think melbourne's is pretty good, aside from the fact that the trams are shit, but thats about it
i might be wrong
I think all things considered if all are running optimally probably Sydney
But realistically Melbourne lately on the balance of operational performance
Itās fucking insane that a major city doesnāt have a rail from the airport to the CBD
im pretty sure were building one rn
They've been saying that for the last like 20 years
it still hasn't happened
biggest city in Aus btw
Not seen the other networks to compare, if things run well in Sydney, it's actually pretty solid
Our PT network used to actually be solid, though reliability has certainly tanked over the last decade (also throw in strike action, some of it very spontaneous just effectively shutting it down out of nowhere), it's to the point I don't recommend it at all to anyone that has anything time sensitive to travel to
yeah agree, having used both i think melbourne sucks because
- cant tap on with credit cards and myki is dogshit
- lack of rail from airport to the cbd
- constant bus replacement services on lines are getting a bit shit
- the way itās been rolled out with different providers of trains for different lines and regions in metro melbourne is so stupid, the north west metro lines canāt get any of the new siemens trains because their stations arenāt actually built to support them
We have the metro which I assume can't run the other trains, though it's entirely automated as far as driving goes, also has those secondary gates like other countries on the platforms
Is infact what I ended up using tonight to eventually get home, had to get someone to pick me up still a fair bit out.. 5 hours to get home, fun times
We've got airport station, though being private, it's an extra $20 on top of the train fare to use the gates, better than nothing, but it hurts
Im probably moving to melb
by the end of the year
or start of next year
Atleast anywhere is an upgrade
ok
yeah anywhere but Alice Springs bro šš
fuck yeah
Way better for uni down here for sure
Melbourne's public transport is more on time, has better coverage and moves along faster than Adelaide.
Adelaide central train station is pretty much empty, which is a contrast from Melbourne.
real
Monash probably
Medicine has a 93.5 ATAR req
minimum anyway
thats a really nice picture
Thanks, though there are asymmetries within it that drive my OCD up the wall.
i cant really notice it tho
its fine
maybe you should use adobe ai to fix it
ok lol
you got that I believe
my sister goes to Monash
The Clayton campus, which medicine is mostly on, is really nice
Im projected for 97 rn
hopefully
specialist acc fucked me
but im safe
cause it doesnt get counted
SACE counts 90 credits towards your ATAR, most subjects are worth 20 credits each
So I take Chem, Physics, Spec, Methods, Literature, Religion and Ethics
All of those are 20 credit courses EXCEPT RE
which is 10
