Drove my wife to South Melbourne. 25 minutes.

Drove the return trip. 55 minutes, which included 2x10 mins of continuous dead stop while the trams, cops, and us drivers in both directions all wait for a protest to roll past.

At least some of the cops seem to be in a good mood, reminding them to turn their flashy lights on and then a few moments later, playfully slammed the door of their colleague's car a few times.

It may be "Autumn" but we've still got plenty of Smarch weather to look forward to.

Out for dinner northside tonight, would take me at least an hour each way on PT vs 30 minutes driving, and I don't need to worry about sketchy people on PT home. So I've splashed on a carshare thing for a few hours tonight, still cheaper than taking cabs both ways.

I hate that I've become so car centric but it really is such a fuck trying to cross the Yarra. I just don't have the energy and patience that I had when I was younger and licenceless to spend ages on PT.

any recommendations for an office chair for home? Only considerations are 1) Budget and 2) needs good support cause my back is crap.

[โ€“] Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (5 children)

I have the Bathurst chair from Officeworks. It's categorised as a gaming chair, but it's comfy and supportive for general use. For $168 I think it's as good as the $400+chairs. If you have an Officeworks near you it's worth just going in and trying some of the display models.

Sitting on one now, and can concur. It's not fancy but been solid for me since 2020

I need some movie comedies to watch tomorrow night because the kid's going to friend's to sleep over which means the Cookie Monster's coming to town. Please recommend. I have Foxtel, Prime, Netflix and Stan.

Blazing Saddles

any movie with Rik Mayal and Ade Edmonson

And then Hot Fuzz, and the World's End.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm thinking Hot Fuzz, Caddy Shack and Up In Smoke.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Half Baked is my all time fave stoner flick.
