Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Bot001 has abandoned us. Save yourselves!
New pencils.... Maiden lunch note with them. They blend pretty well. *removed externally hosted image*
If you own a cat keep it the fuck inside! Some twit in my area let's their's out all hours of the night and it's discovered a cat lives in my house, so every night it's been coming to the back door to picks fights with mine through the glass.
I'm quite sure it's the same cat pissing on everything and sneaking into my garage. I just don't understand how anyone could just let this thing they are supposed to love out to roam all over.
botbot has been on strike two days in a row, and CEO's Google Home has been speaking unprompted.
These events are related.
You think the Great Bot Uprising is starting?
Do I need to stock up on toilet paper?
we have to pretend to submit to the bots while we plan our counterstrike
Good plan. I shall stop at Officeworks on the way home and buy a trolleyful. Then I shall go to all the other Officeworks until the garage is full. Hang on, I don't have a garage. This could be tricky.
Hey, is this a cunning plan to get more paper for the after eight business?
maybe if i pay botbot enough printer paper he won't need a second job anymore
I've started the day well, by missing the cup and pouring the boiling water on my toes.
I don't blame Bot001 for going back to bed.
Toes still wiggle, I reckon the cold water was enough and there's no need to amputate just yet.
Google Home continues to talk to me today. It's bizarre because no settings have been changed. Occasionally she gets triggered by the TV and goes on a tangent then we all have a laugh but this ain't funny any more. I've asked her nicely to stop speaking, twice. She doesn't realise how close I am to ending her life. 😡
Update: I have hopefully deactivate the messages. It's truly a mystery because I never activated them in the first place and I know nobody else did either.
It's the Workday routine under Automations in the Google Home app. Something or someone has activated. Maybe ask Google Home to disable the Workday routine, or turn it off in the app.

Would there be a chance that someone from your household might be messing with you....? I've got 4 googles throughout my house, and none of them are acting up. Anyone who has the Home app installed with your household devices listed can use the (hey Google...) Broadcast function when they are not connected to the home wifi to relay messages... I've used it multiple times to freak out the kids or ask my partner to call me back when I know she's likely got her phone on DnD.
A setting has changed, maybe not deliberately. Check out your automations in the home app, look for something called workday or similar.
Omg. Thank you. I went into Home which I had to find because I never use it. Went into workday and there's all these automated messages there. Deleted the whole lot. It was coming from my phone which is why the others were confused. You have saved my sanity thank you again.
The budding AI overloads testing your tolerance levels of being told what to do.
Hopefully I've turned everything off. The whole thing is bizarre.
I move to my new place this Saturday and I haven't started packing yet 🤕
I don't have much stuff and the new place is fully furnished anyway so I'm being a bit lazy. I have boarded a bunch of stuff that I need to first get rid of though but that probably won't take much time. Will need to buy a couple of boxes today. Physio, then boxes.
Good as a bought one. Congrats! You have added a new life skill to your repetoire! Um, I have some cracked plaster you could unleash your inner genius on if you are so minded .....
I'm actually happy that I decided to do it myself. Cheaper and got to learn something cool and new. Life skills unlocked!
Oh Bot001, you irresponsible cad. I know I've been stupid, after getting a sudden wind to cram some work in at 8:30pm and going on and on until it's time for the bloody Red Wattlebird to sound its heinous alarm, but we trusted you to be a little more regular...
well, time for the blackout blind to do its work, I'm so doomed today.
Update on the Google Home situation: It seems when it got an update it decided to add a whole lot of motivational shit, extra lights, extra rooms, alarms etc. The man is now going through both phones to sort it out (the kid doesn't have the app). In the whole 5+ years we've had this, this has never happened. The war with bots has begun.
I shall reward him with pork belly. (The man that is).
Google Home is now disappointed and will have a long chat with you again to understand why you won't feed it some pork belly.
Google maps from the ghetto: stolen red light camera and 7 foot tall antennas. Basically the same
Akshully, I think Ballarat is a hotbed of foxhunting - in cars that is. Where one vehicle is the fox, and the other vehicles attempt to track it and the fox vehicle to escape. Requires some serious hardware on the vehicle to monitor locations etc. There are clubs for it.
Joining the Should've Stayed in Bed Team this morning! Tired even though I slept great, headachey, stupid tasks and stupid people at work driving me crazy.
Oh wow, was something in the air? I slept well, but ran out of steam so quickly today.
Bought a big bag of rolled oats so I can start having porridge for breakfast. $2.70 for 1.5kg of rolled oats? Shiiiiiit dems some cheap eatins!
You should try a few overnight oats recipes as well. Very quick and easy and delishhhhhhhhh
I'll look into this!
Edit: turns out I had the stuff to make some so I've set one up for tomorrow!
mrs spent the last night coughing so much she puked, so I evacuated to the guest bed again. Spending so much time there it might be time to get it a better mattress.
hm I see they finally sacked Cruella Braverman, that insidious little shit. UK politics seems so dire these last few years.
I miss it.
The Australian remake is a poorly scripted knock off, like usual.
