Lounge but Australian

[coral crescent]

just enjoy it

If youre taking the sciences make sure you understand the theory well

[thin abyss]

I'm doing English lit, methods, and like media and other dtuff

[coral crescent]

Oh 2 of my subjects

Methods is fucking easy as

Genuinely one of the easiest subject once you understand the questions

English lit is only hard to get an A+ on

What curriculum are you in

[thin abyss]

uh wdym

[thin abyss]

idk all I've been doing R general and methods textbooks for some reaon

[coral crescent]

SACE, VCE, QCE?

The states

[thin abyss]

ooh

VCE

[coral crescent]

Ah shit

That ones the hardest 💀

Still stands with the subjects though

[coral crescent]

do you understand differential calculus

[thin abyss]

err.... kinda?

[coral crescent]

well focus on that for math methods

Cause methods is nothing but calculus and more calculus

For lit studies, honestly just learn to use gpt well and analyse the A+ exemplars

[frozen lantern]

Year 11 essential math is an absolute piss take

[delicate storm]

media is pretty easy tbh, like it's a lot of work but the work isn't too hard

[frozen lantern]

Chances are 70+ percent of the work you’ll do in year 11 essential math is stuff you did in primary school

[delicate storm]

for media you just need to stay organised

[frozen lantern]

I wish I was kidding but I am not they take content from the worksheets that 8 and 9 year olds do and put it on worksheets for 17 year olds

[coral crescent]

The assignment is hell

20 pages of pure bs

[frozen lantern]

I couldn’t do media or photography

[delicate storm]

thats the thing though

it's easy to bullshit the planning proces

process

and the standard to pass isn't high like a lot of ppls final works were straight ass

[thin abyss]

shii meant methods and general textbooks

[frozen lantern]

Yeah alright all I know about methods is that it’s hard

[thin abyss]

methods SEEMS stuoid

[steep idol]

mann i have a physX dnd i have to work on

waves n shit

imma kms over optics and diffraction

[coral crescent]

I turned in my last ever one yesterday

Dnd's are easy but they're so long

and SACE is so picky with formatting

[steep idol]

you're basically finished with HS except for the exams right?

[coral crescent]

a few more internal pieces left

chemistry I have a SHE and test due next week

lit studies I have like half my external left

besides that it's all done

[sudden karma]

media is genuinely a pisstake

freest subject ive ever done

im putting minimal effort in and still averaging 90%

my folio finished with like 30 something pages in the end

wouldve gotten like a 76/80 if i hadnt have bullshitted the reflections lmao

copped a 6/10 on those 🔥

[thin abyss]

huhbedum?

so

good?

bad?

[sudden karma]

if you enjoy it its good

why do a subject you dont like anyway

[thin abyss]

yeah

[still wadi]

media is the worst subject to do

we dont even do anything

[rare oracle]

which skywatcher dob are you rocking?

[static ruin]

10" collapsible

[rare oracle]

oh nice

you got an astrobin page?

[static ruin]

Astrobin is for imaging, I'm mostly a visual observer. Dobsonian (which is what that scope is) isn't built for imaging either

I did take an untracked photo of comet c/2025 R2 swan last night, but it's somewhat of a non serious photo on the side while observing (the comet being one of the targets for observing)

i think i get why people live here

[frozen lantern]

It’s alright

[patent pecan]

shit hole in personal experience

expensive beer, lots of hipsters and woke folk, rude cunts, and busy as fuck

[static ruin]

As far as I understood, it was more just known for being "boring" as far as city life goes, everything closes early and all that. The attraction was the (relatively) cheap housing prices until a few years ago it went insane

Expensive beer just seems to be a city thing now, I'm not even surprised when it costs >$10 for a schooner anymore

[patent pecan]

Cheaped schooner I had in Japan was 550 yen

Then a stubby of asahi was maybe 250 yen from 7/11

so good

[static ruin]

Basically free

[deep cape]

come down to melbourne you’d love it has none of those things

[patent pecan]

Isn't melbourne what Brisbane aspires to be

[deep cape]

And you're literally younger than me

[deep cape]

[still wadi]

i may be the youngest in this chat

[sudden karma]

oooh

ive been meaning to go back to the NGV, gives me an excuse

[deep cape]

also i wish i knew about it earlier than when i found out about it but ngv: australia / the ian potter centre is extremely underrated and also free

[frozen lantern]

Potentially

i just got a new tripod for my bday!

[prisma atlas]

AVG Translink

[devout marsh]

[fiery island]

While Adelaide artists are doing stuff like this:

[still wadi]

woah

while here in melbourne

we got random scribbles on the m1

[errant wadi]

oh yeah i got some actual street art

few and far between though since almost every other place is just tags

[errant wadi]

🤧🤧🤧20 minute journey turned into 1.5 hours by translink

[prisma atlas]

Yeah honestly, I took the express yesterday and it some how took longer??

[errant wadi]

ahahha what

thats bull

for some reason this issue was only at helensvale so i had to take a bus to parkwood then the tram

[steep idol]

lmao

we dont have this problem here cuz public transport essentially nonexistant

heck there are bus stops that are kilometers away from houses

[errant wadi]

im reliant on public transport cuz i dont have a car

[errant wadi]

yeah i had to walk 3km from a bus stop to my friends house

[steep idol]

i dont have a license

[steep idol]

oof

[errant wadi]

thats a bit of an issue

[steep idol]

nahh

its ez to bike here

[errant wadi]

i havent touched a bike in ages

[steep idol]

unless winds are hitting into the 40's / 50's

[errant wadi]

oh right

[steep idol]

i also have my own personal cheauffuer

[errant wadi]

[errant wadi]

[steep idol]

darwin

[errant wadi]

makes sense

[steep idol]

the wind is insane sometimes

you might have a 20kph headwin but have a 30kph tailwind

[errant wadi]

😭🙏

[frozen lantern]

So you’re going 10kph?

[coral crescent]

istg aus post is on something

tell me how

a package from JAPAN

makes it at the exact same time as one from SYDNEY

[prisma atlas]

And how does a package from 30 minutes down the road have estimated delivery of 13 days?

[late parcel]

Has to go to a sorting facility

[prisma atlas]

Fair enough

[dire lagoon]

they're sorting very carefully

[static ruin]

Courier routing at a glance looks stupid, but yeah there's a method to the madness. As far as international goes, probably reasonably fast given it'll land at a major sorting facility and not filter through much

Domestic not unusual to go through many hops, it's more efficient to fill up transport (whether that be truck or plane) with some packages having multiple hops rather than going direct but not filling as to close to capacity as possible

[prisma atlas]

Update from aus post, 3 days ??

[fiery island]

I've had parcels ricocheting between NSW warehouses. A light parcel that what would have taken 7 days, took nearly 18 days to get here.

[prisma atlas]

Yeah honestly, I've had stuff just rotate between BNE and Syd for days just because

[errant wadi]

wait this is why we should introduce drone shipping

🤧🤧🤧

[frozen lantern]

@vivid verge I’m shooting EF88’s today

[steep idol]

@sudden karma weel slipped today wile cornering at 32kph

[sudden karma]

Oh lord

[steep idol]

it was only a small slip so it wasnt a biggie

it slipped outwards so it was easy to compensate for

also

yesterday i went skating and i was sweating pretty hard

my friends a chunk of ice tho

[errant wadi]

what the helly

[vivid verge]

I’m shooting fighter jets

[frozen lantern]

I wasn’t taking pictures of Steyrs I was on the range firing them

Somehow I shot better when I wasn’t trying to shoot accurately

[vivid verge]

mint

Are you doing the freedom of entry thingy in TSV

[frozen lantern]

Nah, just our annual training with Steyrs

[errant wadi]

u cant shoot fighter jets, thats illegal 🥺

[frozen lantern]

So is jaywalking and yet people do it anyway 🧐

[still wadi]

plen

[errant wadi]

yeah but if you SHOOT a fighter jet you could damage it

🥺

[sour current]

gawd damn

Why did i get cursed with car photography when i could’ve been half decent and done planes

Wrong autism

[steep idol]

if you are wondering how much power an ice skatinf rink with an indoor temp of 14, and an outside weather temp of 32c at 80% humidity

[sour current]

My sleep has been fucked up lol

It’s school holidays and i’ve been waking up at 6:30 for absolutely no reason every morning

[sour current]

Well no the sleep is normal

[prisma atlas]

Bro same I sleep in 2hr chunks

[patent pecan]

im guessing the cats lost lol

[deep cape]

it was neck and neck at half time and then they scored 2 goals in the second half and brisbane scored like 13

[thin abyss]

anyone in the mcc?

and how is it? like community wise

[delicate storm]

melbourne creative community? i went to one of their meetups/photowalks and everyone was really nice but don't expect anyone your own age to be there like

most people there were in their 30s-40s

i also saw only one other female photographer there when i went

[thin abyss]

i already go to a couple photowalks n stuff

[delicate storm]

really cool ppl but it is very photography bro-ey

[thin abyss]

nah thats fine i look like a dude anyways lol

[delicate storm]

TRUEEEEEEEEEEEE

[thin abyss]

when u cant fit in with the dudes become the dude

😭

but yeah since like

i go to alot of photowalks and hear stuff about mcc and stuff

[delicate storm]

EXACTLYYYYYY i looked like a dude when i went too

[thin abyss]

aparently there was a shoot with over like 100 photogrophers

in a small ass hallway

[delicate storm]

OH TRUE

[thin abyss]

you know their socials? and if its like a weekly/monthly thing

[delicate storm]

they did them less often in winter but when its warmer they do them every 2 weeks or so

its just @mccevent on instagram

[thin abyss]

oo nice noted

alright alright

its just like ive heard shit since like

the photowalk i go with i got invited privatly via a friend n stuff

[delicate storm]

i wanna go to more of them like

[thin abyss]

and they only do it because like

mcc got too full with creepy dudes

[delicate storm]

i found out about it because one of my mum's work friends is one of the main organiser for quite a lot of mcc events

[thin abyss]

ooo nice

[delicate storm]

thats SO fair like, whats the one that you go to? if they have any socials

[thin abyss]

uh theyre like gatekept but alot of the mcc people go

[delicate storm]

no one was creepy to me personally when i went (i was prob the youngest person there) so i think you'd be fine if you got more involved with mcc

[delicate storm]

that's SO fair

[thin abyss]

also its so i can keep myself safe

sob

[delicate storm]

i COMPLETELY understand that, its all good!!

[thin abyss]

sorry sob

but yeah like

if u hang around mcc and stuff

[delicate storm]

no need to apologise tbh

[thin abyss]

youll prolly get a dm from like the organisers and stuff

i got in because i got along with the dude at the march for au protests since we were both photograhing it sob

[kindred rivet]

Very true

[late parcel]

I ended up being too sick to go 😭 I had a media pass that I didn’t get to use

[vivid verge]

You didn’t miss much

Media Saturday didn’t even have a fence around the area so everyone was there

And then second day was chill, nice spot for us to set up but ended up going off base for the super hornet then the rest was cancelled

Was definitely worth going off base

[still wadi]

Ah nice

[frozen lantern]

Brisbane still shit?

[prisma atlas]

Yes 👍

There is like fuck all to do here

[frozen lantern]

Fuck

I’m going for the long weekend

[prisma atlas]

Go climb a mountain or something

[sour current]

If you have to ask you already know the answer

[prisma atlas]

The city doesn't have a whole lot to offer ngl. I mean there the AVG shopping and bowling type shit but yeah

[frozen lantern]

I don’t go there that often I can’t remember if it’s good

[prisma atlas]

Go 40 minutes south and climb mount cotton, and watch the sunset

[frozen lantern]

Surely can’t be as bad as Townsville

[sour current]

Nah the joke was that Brisbane is always complete shit

lol

[prisma atlas]

Best thing is the 50c public transport ngl

[patent pecan]

I’d still much rather be in Townsville than Brisbane, but I can’t stand big cities

I don’t even like cairns because of the fuckin motorway makes it feel like one

Less the traffic

[deep cape]

lowkey with smeet on this one i want to move to a country town

[sour current]

I was playing r6 siege

And two blokes were literally having the ted “chicks with dicks or men with tits argument” for the whole first round

Word for word “there are no chicks with dicks only men with tits”

“It’s a modern world i’ll fuck who i wanna fuck”

would you like 50 million 16-35 f4's?

only 25 billion dollars

[steep idol]

what website even is this?

[dire lagoon]

dont remember

[delicate storm]

why is it so hard to find reasonably priced old iphones like, $50 for a really common phone that's basically unusable nowadays is crazy

i'm looking for one for my mobile photography class because i want a camera similar to the ipad ones i started taking photos on back in 2017

[delicate storm]

most aren't even $50 mind you

theure like $100

[patent pecan]

Honestly who gives a fuck about teddy swims

Why are we getting American artists for Aussie sports. Dumb cunts calling him a country singer too

[sudden karma]

id rather hilltop hoods any day of the week anyway

[frozen lantern]

Is it worth bringing the camera down to brissy?

[coral crescent]

Depends on what you like to shoot

[static ruin]

I'd say take the camera if it's not too much of an inconvenience, even if it's just with one lens

[frozen lantern]

Might bring the camera with the 24-70

No idea what I’ll shoot or even if I’ll shoot so worth having a bit of zoom range

[still wadi]

i think a 18-50 would be better for brissy

or a 18-35

something a bit more wide

because i dont think there is much things to zoom into

so a wide zoom would be better

[frozen lantern]

They make those for ff?

[still wadi]

i think so

[frozen lantern]

The 17-40 is a touch wider but less range if I wanna zoom in a touch and I lose a stop plus no IS

[still wadi]

oh wait youre a canon shooter

yeah

sigma does make one for rf mount

https://www.sigma-global.com/en/lenses/c021_18_50_28

its ff

[frozen lantern]

24-70 will be more range, an extra stop and I’ve got the gen 1 Tamron which has IS

[still wadi]

wait

im stupid

thats a crop sensor lens

[still wadi]

yeah

[frozen lantern]

I have a 24-70 2.8 on a full frame body

[still wadi]

you do you

[frozen lantern]

Taking this into consideration I believe the 24-70 may be the better option

[static ruin]

24-70 probably the better generic option yeah

[still wadi]

yeah, that can work

[frozen lantern]

Last time I traveled with the camera I got fucked I ended up shipboard and needed something wide

I only had the 70-200

[still wadi]

lol

thats why i always carry a 24-70 and a 70-200

you never know when you would need it

[static ruin]

Is a bit of weight, though I'd admittedly do the same

[still wadi]

tbh, you can get used to weight

i climbed the grampians with that same setup

[frozen lantern]

Yeah but I’m flying so I have weight restrictions

[still wadi]

ok, then yeah

a 24-70 is good enough

but i still think a wideangle is great for holiday pictures

[frozen lantern]

I’ll see what my bag weighs and go from there

[still wadi]

ok

[frozen lantern]

I’m only going for the long weekend I’ll have next to nothing and don’t plan on spending money down there

[patent pecan]

He’ll be fine on full frame

If I shot Tokyo on a 24-70 he can shoot brissy

[coral crescent]

I swear they never check your backpack weight

Ive flown so many times and not once have they checked my camera bags weight

[frozen lantern]

I shot Tokyo on a 50 1.8 I’ll do alright with a 24-70

[coral crescent]

Tokyo is fun isnt it

Lots of walking though

[frozen lantern]

I’ve been on 1 flight where they didn’t check my bag weight and it was in Tokyo

[patent pecan]

Yeah I remember when it was dependant on the airport. Now I don’t think it’s not so much a drama

[coral crescent]

Narita?

[frozen lantern]

Yep

[patent pecan]

It’s good but I think I’ll stay away from Tokyo next time. Just fly to Osaka then do my own thing, bit of country side travelling maybe

[static ruin]

Basically depends on luck, though they're often more forgiving with camera gear anyway

Or just stick a strap on a heavy lens then wear it through if they question backpack weight lol

[coral crescent]

Country side is great, you didnt get a chance to stop by Nara did you?

[patent pecan]

Nah

I missed a lot of things I wanted to do but that’s what happens when you’re travelling with others

Solo trip next time

[frozen lantern]

Japan was a very cool place I’ll go back at some point

[coral crescent]

Ah yeah fair

Ill probably go again end of next year

[sudden karma]

It's not

[coral crescent]

I cant wait to move out of here man

To Melbourne bitches

[sudden karma]

Coming down to the best state

[frozen lantern]

I’m doing Europe at the end of next year and somewhere else I don’t know where yet

[coral crescent]

[frozen lantern]

I might head down to Melbourne in December

[coral crescent]

COPIUM

Im just waiting to get my offer from Monash

[frozen lantern]

I’m waiting to hear about whether or not I’m going on course

[sudden karma]

End of the year

We get them in like December

[coral crescent]

yessir

Just gotta do well on my med interview

[frozen lantern]

Lexi have you been out to Cerberus?

[coral crescent]

And not get cooked by my atar

[sudden karma]

Yup

Just once

[frozen lantern]

How long does it take to get there from the city

[sudden karma]

2ish hours

Depends on traffic OFC

[frozen lantern]

Far out

[sudden karma]

Actually prolly less, it's an hour from me and I'm 20 mins from the city

So prolly about 145 cause traffic is a bitch here

[frozen lantern]

Might come down to Melbourne sorta December or January for something at Cerberus

[frozen lantern]

24-70 will be the go if I bring the camera to Brisbane

[patent pecan]

Because you had yours back in June

[coral crescent]

we still do the queens

[static ruin]

We get Monday off, labour day rather than kings birthday

[coral crescent]

yup

our labour day was in may

we call it may day here I think

[thin abyss]

any plane spotters here in mel?

if anyone does, can you still walk onto Mansfield Rd or is it like fully closed

[patent pecan]

@deep cape @sudden karma Can you explain this whole geelong cats mad monday ordeal to me

[sudden karma]

i got no clue bro

[patent pecan]

I cbf trying to find what was offensive about what they did because news publications are shit

[sudden karma]

dressed up as a female journalist and said "shed never looked better"

just being like a dickhead ig

dressed up as caroline wilson

[deep cape]

googling

[patent pecan]

Oh nvm i found it

they dressed up as brokeback mountain

[deep cape]

losing a grand final makes you gay apparently

[patent pecan]

Is that what they said lol

[sudden karma]

yup

yeah real

[patent pecan]

Oh thats just what mitch brown said

He's just being a soft cunt imo

[sudden karma]

yeah but bailey smith is often a dickhead

[patent pecan]

Yeah no doubt I think he's a flog

[sudden karma]

brown?

[patent pecan]

bailey

[sudden karma]

yeah true

[deep cape]

i reckon there's a bit of a media thing to this too - you can't be the first openly queer footy player and then stay silent on this when it happens

he was probably told he had to say something

because the silence looks bad

[patent pecan]

Bailey is AFL's Walsh

[patent pecan]

That's true, on the other hand I think it's weird - I feel like he's using it to clout chase as well

Who gives a fuck if you're queer cunt

'i'm the first queer afl player, yippee cool cunt play the game

[deep cape]

yeah no idea whats going on there im sure most people think the way you do like i dont care about where your dick goes im here to watch you play sport but him coming out is probably more a message to the culture in the organization than to the footy audience

and how gay/queers probably cop it quite a bit from other players

[patent pecan]

No I get the whole dont be afraid to come out thing, but it's just been played on more than that by now - not just him but seems to happen across a lot of things

Probably also not his fault tbf

Media probably taking it for a ride

[deep cape]

100%

im sure he was annoyed that he had to speak out about it

bloke probably just wanted to enjoy the off season

[static ruin]

That would be what most of it is, definitely in bad taste what happened, probably blown way out of proportion

[deep cape]

and now the medias going to make news stories about how woke he is and shit

[static ruin]

That said first Ive heard of it is here, I don't pay much attention to these things

[patent pecan]

oh gayfl just got gayer

thats all

[deep cape]

the caroline wilson thing is pretty fucked up though like its kind of wild to show up to work dressed as a colleague and call them ugly

[patent pecan]

kidding

[deep cape]

like you would get in trouble doing that anywhere

[patent pecan]

Yeah I found this much more offensive than the brokeback mountain shit

[deep cape]

agree

just quietly its kind of funny they had those ideas and thought it would be funny to do

like there isn't a world where they would have been patted on the back for this shit especially in like the woke state of victoria

what were you boys thinking

like funny in a way where if someone just rocked up to work tomorrow and thought it'd be funny to say the n-word again

its like what are you doing

[static ruin]

Nikon?

[patent pecan]

Yeah in Victoria as famous people yeah

If it was a place like here and it was a local club

yeah sure

[deep cape]

real

read the room fellas

they cant read

[patent pecan]

I think it's funny in the fact it's two non gay guys dressed up as something they'd never participate in

Like I would've found it weirder if it was two gay guys dressed up as it tbh

[deep cape]

[patent pecan]

I just don't get how people cant just have a giggle and move on these days

[static ruin]

I'd say atleast I have logs, but had read before the edit

[static ruin]

Does feel like things are swinging back, it's one of those things where there was a lot of fair criticisms of certain things said and done, but yeah we had an era where people had to walk on eggshells

[deep cape]

yeah also like i think people should allowed to try to be funny and if its not funny people should be able to laugh at you to deter you, but still be allowed to try again

[patent pecan]

That's why i'm glad im up here, the whole eggshells thing never reached here - but even chatting in lounge where every second person goes by a different pronoun

Confuses the fuck out of me

[static ruin]

For me it's mostly boiled down to time and place, with friends no topic is off limits to joke around, public I pull back more. In saying that puns are still often my thing

[patent pecan]

Not that I have anything against it - Just cunts are so sensitive about it and don't understand different parts of the world barely experience it if at all

[deep cape]

yeah i guess living where i live in like the woke epicentre of australia im more familiar and comfortable with it but its like people get hung up on the offense part of it when in reality its like - just treat other people with respect at the end of the day

like not hard

dont give a fuck about what you go by if you're a good person im still going to buy you a pint at the pub

[patent pecan]

Yeah I won't lie, I say some topical shit around friends and family that i'd never repeat on a first date

[deep cape]

etc

[static ruin]

This

[patent pecan]

Exactly, it's the people hung up on it that give me the shits.

I'm not going to people their pronouns on introductions, but I couldn't really give a fuck what you are as long as you aren't a twat

though I'd happily lean into stereotypes if you are a twat (even if i don't believe in them)

just tit for tat

[deep cape]

yeah honestly its like you've broken the seal now cunt

you asked for this

im happy to call people their preferred pronouns and stuff but i think people who get a bit preachy about it shoot themselves in the foot when they expect everyone to like get it right 100% of the time - like not everyone lives in a progressive city where gender politics is talked about normally, people need time to adjust to new ideas and new ways of seeing the world and its just unreasonable to conflate someone trying but getting it wrong sometimes with bigotry

[vivid verge]

Sydney harbour still has it

[patent pecan]

Reminds me of when my co-worker went to Brisbane and nabbed a dart off of a black fella and asked 'What kind of black are you?', all the wokies around him were offended but the black guy wasn't

[static ruin]

That's how it often goes

[static ruin]

This daily/routine or just today?

[deep cape]

also when like woke white people ask me the correct pronunciation of pho or banh mi to be respectful of the culture and its like

bro i promise you the teenager getting paid cash in hand from his uncle who is working illegally doesn't give a fuck about if you're pronouncing it correctly

they're probably just happy you're giving them money

[patent pecan]

this shit is hilarious to me

my friend whos a little more woke than me (but you cant take the townsville out the girl) kept getting mad at her mum for pronouncing arigato the wrong way lmao

AREE GARTOE

[deep cape]

LOL

[patent pecan]

I was like, who gives a fuck the way she was saying it was still understandable and i'm sure they get way worse

shes here for a week bruh

[deep cape]

yeah and like the japanese are happy you're even just trying

[patent pecan]

legit. I found they were happy as long as you jus acknowledge them even if you didnt know how to reply

[deep cape]

yeah!! same with viets they laugh at you more but they appreciate hte effort

[static ruin]

Most places are, it's the same with the whole cultural appropriation argument you see when people try to dress or try certain customs from cultures

As long as you're not intentionally trying to be insulting, most are happy to see others interested

[frozen lantern]

The Japanese are very respectful

[deep cape]

you know what's impressive about the japanese

highest smoking rates in the world

and drinking

per capita

[static ruin]

til

[deep cape]

and some of hte longest life expectancy

[frozen lantern]

Interesting

[static ruin]

So what you're saying is I need to drink more

[deep cape]

i might be slightly off but the japanese are up there

[frozen lantern]

I wouldn’t have expected that

[frozen lantern]

Depends on whether you want a long or short life

[deep cape]

overestimated drinking my bad

[static ruin]

Speaking of Japanese and drinking, been a while since I've had a Sake, need to try some again

[vivid verge]

weekly ish

From the army mostly

Navy is a bit rarer

[patent pecan]

Yeah a lot of places still allowed to smoke inside there

Which is crazy

I was smoking when I was drinking just because it was easy to socialise that way, ask for a smoke or offer a smoke

[deep cape]

so i dont smoke anymore but a friend also just came back from japan and brought me back my favourite cigarettes ever

[deep cape]

oh also based

and like fuck me they smell good

[patent pecan]

Are they cigarellos?

I do like cigars too actually. Had one at the wedding for the first time in a while

[deep cape]

nah just regular cigarettes that are like

1. strong but dont taste strong/like tobacco
2. kind of smells like coconut

so like extremely punchable and you dont get that disgusting cigarette smell afterwards

[patent pecan]

Ah, I was just smoking menthol crush filters while i was there

Since my lungs probably couldnt hold up to much else

[deep cape]

v fair but also those are fun too

[patent pecan]

Pretty sums up most of my Japan nights

[frozen lantern]

Alright could bring the camera with the 24-70 and 70-200 I’ve got heaps of space

Ah my reminder of how f'd this country is if things keep going with housing

Sure do love the extra fuel added to the fire recently /s

That 5% deposit stuff is going to be interesting the next time we hit a real recession

[deep cape]

you know i was like mad paranoid we were going to hit a recession like 6 months ago

i think we technically were per capita

also TIL other countries don’t have fucked fuel price fluctuations??

storm certainly had their iffy calls

and plenty of chances in that last half

[sudden karma]

I didn't watch the game but I was checking the scores and it definitely seemed like we had a chance

[deep cape]

[patent pecan]

qld'r going for storm smh

[still wadi]

[prisma atlas]

Hello

[frozen lantern]

I thought storm had a better chance than broncos

[static ruin]

They were playing better until second half

[patent pecan]

That’s how I felt last week when I put my multis on too

[static ruin]

Reynolds getting injured was the best thing to happen for the Boncos, they picked up after he went off lol

[frozen lantern]

If I placed a bet my money would’ve been on Melbourne

In all fairness it was a good match

It’s gonna be a damn good term

Monash is expensive

Meanwhile I’m barely making it week to week lmao

Got paid 300 bucks last week. Still had to take money out of saving for medical, food and fuel

[sudden karma]

Mostly history cause we still have a sac for it 💀

There's a bunch of year 11s in my class doing it early and they all voted to push it forward

[patent pecan]

worst disaster season ahead but i have to pay to find out if its bullshit

Fuck I hate the bulletins

Seems about right, I see paywall I just ignore the site

[deep cape]

to get around paywalls

[static ruin]

If you want an actual answer, QLD does have an elevated chance of severe weather in general this season, but it's weather, can only guess probabilities

Likely a bit further south than you though for the bulk of the activity

Or for late season cyclones aren't my thing, but we do have higher sea surface temps, so it'll be more fuel for those when we hit cyclone season which may effect you. How the other conditions are for them I have nfi, I lack that understanding

[patent pecan]

Cheers, yeah I figured as much - calling shots in early october lol

Just like every other nq wet season

[patent pecan]

this is pog

[static ruin]

It makes sense for farmers and such to atleast prepare, but yeah articles like that otherwise are silly. We've already had a big spanner thrown in the works with climate drivers that's thrown out October/November predictions as it is

[coral crescent]

holy

thats annoying asf

times like this is where I regret taking math methods

[late parcel]

lol I’m broken down again

I just want to sleeeeeeep

[obsidian jetty]

is that method or spesh

never mind

i didn't read it

u in y12 yeah

[coral crescent]

yeah

[coral crescent]

I dropped spesh after vector integration

methods is heaven in comparison

[prisma atlas]

I just dropped methods 💀 back to general for me.
The gap between the two classes is huge, methods is doing inverse kinematics and general is classifying data??

[coral crescent]

oh yeah

its fat

but honestly methods isnt too difficult after a certain point

statistics and integration is so easy

Its just some differentiation equations that can get hellish

[frozen lantern]

Methods isn’t too difficult? Have you seen the work that we do in essential?

[coral crescent]

yeah but essential is just that, it's when you don't really need math for your pathway but still find it useful

I swear most essential people could pass methods

probably not with flying colors

but definetly pass

[frozen lantern]

Doubt I could

[prisma atlas]

Hmm I'm not sure, I went from 90-100% in general to 30% in methods

But saying that I could have tried a bit harder too

[frozen lantern]

Math is definitely needed in the pathway I’m looking at

[prisma atlas]

Yet you take essential?

[frozen lantern]

Yeah but I’m gonna do a trade

[prisma atlas]

Oh fair enough then

I got a mate doing a trade so he's just tanking till the end of the year

[frozen lantern]

And it’s because my original plan didn’t workout

[coral crescent]

Honestly calling them both math is a lie tbh

Methods is much more theoretical and understanding stuff

Whereas general is more well

[prisma atlas]

Yeah general is "can you count to 4?"

[coral crescent]

general practical applications

[prisma atlas]

Same ngl, my school doesn't have the courses I need so I'll have to do a bridging course anyway

And I've seen spec stuff and that's a whole different ball park

[coral crescent]

like for example

methods exam paper 2024

looks intimdating as shit

all its saying is to subtitue 1 into the formula

[frozen lantern]

It’s nothing to do with education I’d met the requirements before I was old enough to apply it’s just a medical thing

[prisma atlas]

This is the exact topic I left off at

[prisma atlas]

Oh right

[coral crescent]

its here where its gets slightly more troubling

but again, its just plugging formulas

they're even nice enough to give you the answer

[prisma atlas]

Yeah, plugging formulas is fine, but I work with a practical brain, so during the IA1 I used physics instead of math formulas 💀

That also reminds me my graphics calc is out of batteries

[coral crescent]

what physics formulas do you even use here 😭

[frozen lantern]

For my backup I’m looking at doing an apprenticeship as an AME and going to govvy when I’m finished the apprenticeship

[prisma atlas]

I think I made some bs up with v u a t or smth

[prisma atlas]

Very nice, I'm looking at qut after I graduate but I went to their open day and it was a dog shit

[coral crescent]

yeah physics formulas never work with methods, they make sure about that

[prisma atlas]

Might help to study next time lmafo

[coral crescent]

that too

[frozen lantern]

I think I’ll do AME apprentice and volunteer with the SES during it and then once I’m qualified I can move over to the rescue helicopters

I’ll probably start volunteering with the SES before I even start my apprenticeship

[prisma atlas]

Ooh that actually sounds not bad

[frozen lantern]

Not sure what I’d specialise in with the SES, maybe SAR or I could use my cert 3 and fly the SAR drones

[late parcel]

Made it

[still wadi]

looking at this also makes me regret choosing methods for next year

[errant wadi]

apple

[errant wadi]

jeez am i glad i don't have to do this anymore

until uni where i have even more complex math

Yeah I'm actually done with general already, I spent 2 hr today listening how to change a decimal to a percentage 💀 and my yr11 class couldn't understand it

[vivid verge]

Fuck yeh

How was it

[errant wadi]

oof

[patent pecan]

So good man, I’d go see them again in an instant

[vivid verge]

fuck yeah

I love live music why does it have to be so fucking expensive

[still wadi]

big company want money

[static ruin]

It's more than that, Music events have been going up in price for a long time in Aus, more red tape, overhead costs are going up

The profit margin is pretty crappy despite the high ticket prices once all that's covered, so there's just fewer events now and they're more expensive

[still wadi]

yep

yeah

that checks out ig

[errant wadi]

$135 to go see 2hollis 🥺

[vivid verge]

$280 for good things is fucking ridiculous

never seeing TOOL i guess!

[errant wadi]

instead of spending $280 for this

u can go to a record store

this will never sell

sick sewer

[sudden karma]

280 for both Metallica and Linkin park 😔

Will be going broke

[still wadi]

i really wished i lived in a graffiti infested town, infinte photos

[frozen lantern]

Metallica is an investment they won’t have too many more tours

[errant wadi]

this is a sewer i wouldnt call it infested

[deep cape]

insurance surging is a large driver of the price hikes

just buy on tixel the day before if its not sold out heh

[errant wadi]

i'd call this infested

only the abandoned servo isnt local 🤧i had to go to like

fuck i forgot the suburb

near fruitgrove

i gotta go back to that sewer

with actual shoes and pants cuz i was out of school

gotta check out further in and the other end of it sewer

[frozen lantern]

That’s like most places

Most places have heaps of graf everywhere

[still wadi]

basically what i mean

[errant wadi]

exactly 🥰

[errant wadi]

wait i read your sentence properly

[sudden karma]

Yeah, plus it's like 2 days after my bday so basically a present to myself

[static ruin]

But in the end, it doesn't even matter

[vivid verge]

“I love live music”
“Just buy a record!”

[errant wadi]

meh only ticket ive bought for smth is 2hollis

which hasnt even happened yet

live music i only heard from like

idk some pokies bar

[still wadi]

i wanna buy concert tickets once i get my part time

or a new camera doesnt sound so bad either

[errant wadi]

i feel like

getting a pt has made me spend way too much

than i did before i had a job

[still wadi]

ok

then i guess i may need to control my spending

it might just be a thing where you first get your paycheck and it feels like a lot

so you feel like you can spend a lot with it

step 2 is to have surgery

the rest will take care itself

Did you crash into a car?

Ouchie

What was the surgery?

[steep idol]

face/nose, and removing shards of glass from the 1st layer of the eye
