I’d like to move to Sweden one day, that’s probably the soonest I’ll be seeing snow

I’ve still never seen real snow in person. I have seen fake snow once, but it’s not quite the same

Probably. But Ninite pro seems to manage automatically updating programs, so perhaps they do actually use it on some internal system

Did you go to bed at 8pm?

I almost went for a 6pm nap earlier

Watching petrol prices fascinates me so much, since I don’t have a car. It’s $1.80 one day and then a week later it’s $2.03? But then you can get it for $1.90 if you drive to the other side of the city

I wanted to get into that but just couldn’t for some reason. Only watched the first few episodes, but I feel almost certain that if I can make it past the first season it will probably become one of my favourite shows. I’m just weird like that

When I was in Adelaide in March we went to dinner at some rooftop burger place on Friday night. There was a dude in one of those cars without a lid that makes far too much noise blasting music driving around the block and revving at the lights (we were on a corner). It was so weird. I don’t understand what makes people just do loops of the block for hours on end… Who can even afford that much petrol!

Interesting. Apparently the city of Melbourne use Ninite

Not a clue. I presume it would.

Apparently we’ve had 0.8mm since 9 here. It’s a little damp outside, and I can hear a few drops falling but it’s very light. It actually looks like the worst of it is hitting (and will hit) between Wallan and shepparton. Hope they don’t flood again

God, it was so strong last night! Thought the tree was gonna fall over…

Yesterday

• I learnt how to use a lighter (I don’t smoke and I’ve generally not been able to have candles or incense, so I’ve just never learnt how to use one).
• I fell asleep really quickly.
• I got a new laptop charger to replace my old one which was a cheap knockoff that wouldn’t stay in the wall (it would fall out).

Today:

• I woke up at 8, but was able to get back to sleep and stay asleep until 11
• Amazon put my favourite brand and flavour of rice crackers back in stock so I got them for a 60 cent discount compared to the supermarket

Best of luck FM!

Update: I made some space to give cities skylines 2 a go. Oh boy it was a slideshow. I think I was getting around 10fps on low graphics which looked really bad anyway.

Decided to just do a refund for it. I don’t think I will have a computer capable of running it until the 2030s. But given how much they were cooling for bad optimisation when it came out, I thought they would’ve worked on some better optimisation by now

I don’t get it either. I genuinely can’t see how we benefit from this at all

I wasn’t in Melbourne at the peak of their shortness, but from this other article by Marcus I gather they weren’t great!

It’s funny that transdev has any involvement in this, considering how it went last time they operated any part of our public transport network

I had time.is up ready to beat you

My sale was not very productive. I only got 3 games because I decided to buy cities skylines 2, which was only 10% off and still going for 62 bucks.

Also I don’t actually have enough space to install any of them because I left my hard drive at home
