I get that you might like both but that's not the question. Team Coffee or Team Tea? Which side are you on?

Team Tea

I expected the concreters over the road to lay a fairly standard driveway for the new townhouses, but they have instead set up some quite complicated formwork to create a series of irregular charcoal coloured blocks which I assume will have a lighter coloured infil for the gaps. Should look pretty good. They needed to use a huge amount of timber to set up the formwork though, including a bunch they were happily scavenging from a neighbour's hard rubbish pile. I guess that makes it a community endeavour.

My neighbour has some sort of car alarm thing that goes off genuinely dozens of times a day. Day or night, it doesn't matter. I don't understand what the appeal is or what's causing it. Is the actual car alarm, complete with flashing lights, etc. it's been going on since before I moved in (so easily a year), mostly happens between 7-9pm, but less frequently at various times overnight

Just why

Movie review. Dream Scenario. Netflix.

Nick Cage plays a narcissistic arsehole who thinks the world revolves around him. More specifically, he is incredibility selfish in thought and action, never thinks of others or their point of view or suffering and he never does a single thing to help another. The internets chews him up alive and we cheer.

Update: they agreed to my request (I think), but it's a 2 week waiting period until they actually change over the number. I lodged my requests yesterday, which is why I heard back so soon. It seems to be a mostly automated process, as far as I can tell. Everything's done down to the minute. The email telling me all of this came 24 hours after I submitted the request yesterday at 4:57pm, and they will call me at exactly 4:57pm on the 22nd to tell me it's been changed over (apparently).

I'm just happy they have procedures in place I guess. I have bad memories of losing accounts to lost phone numbers. I've learnt my lesson though, and will switch over to a proper TOTP app once I get back in. I'll probably buy a yubikey one day too

sigh Misplaced my wallet earlier this week and I really needed it today.

Hopefully when I get home I'll be able to find it, highly unusual that it wasn't in my bag today as I thought I put it back in there earlier in the week.

Stressing about it.

doesn't help you right now but for when you find it again: sticking an airtag in mine has been one of the better decisions of my life!
