https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Lewis_(bassist)
Andrew Joseph Lewis (16 June 1966 – 12 February 2000) was the original bassist of Australian band The Whitlams.
He battled a gambling addiction and committed suicide in February 2000, aged 33, after losing an entire week’s pay in a poker machine.
“Blow Up the Pokies”, co-written by Tim Freedman (The Whitlams) not long before Lewis’ death, is a comment on the destruction that Freedman saw in Lewis’ life because of his gambling. It was awaiting release as a single at the time.
I am very lazy
The rain and the cold makes today a perfect day to be snuggled up at home in bed I reckon
It would take me more than 576 days to run around Brisbane tbh
willing to burn through public funds in order to gain geopolitical advantages over their adversaries.
If you were on wages, you could work for 80 hours AND get paid for it!
Salary not so much. Probably best to do the bare minimum.
So why aren’t other governments doing something similar?
Our government (Australia) basically told the last couple of brands that manufactured locally to piss off. So they did. So now we have literally zero local manufacturers.
Are you on a wage? If you are, I have good news!
Monday, more like FUNday amright? Finally that horrible weekend is over and we can get back to work 👷♂️
I can’t handle Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, etc
It’s just all short term dopamine hits with no longevity or effort.
People posting inane shit to get those likes and hearts. Anything that could be potentially useful jump cutted and sped up to suit the short attention span of their viewers so it’s functionally useless to try and use to learn anything from.
I’m so glad I grew up pre-social media. Kids gonna be ADHD as fuck.
Pretty much anything in the dipping cabinet at Miss Sophia’s Gelateria in Stafford (Brisbane).
Double Espresso is a good one, as is Milo, Vanilla, Pavlova, in fact they’re all good.
Ice cream in winter is one of the perks of living in Brisbane.
Went and saw the comedian we recently saw in Melbourne again last night (… in Brisbane, this time).
Took the lads from work and their partners so I reckon we represented close to 10% of the audience. They enjoyed it I think, even if it meant missing the first half of State of Origin (which in hindsight was probably for the best anyway).
I enjoyed seeing it again, even if I knew some of the punch lines. I’ve said before the dude could read the dictionary and make it hilarious though. He’s got a gift.
Yeah, that was some bullshit
Never mind, I’m a dickhead… I can just stack a fixed resistor and a potentiometer in series
Anyone know much about electronics?
I have an NTC probe that reads 9K @ 0C and I want to add a mechanical offset as the controller does not have this functionality.
If I throw a 32K resistance in parallel I should get my +5C offset at 0C which is perfect.
BUT… I’m feeling a little greedy and I’d like to trim it a little each way, and I reckon between 25K and 50K would be a perfect amount. If I throw a 50K potentiometer in there, it’s variable between 0 and 50,000 which is not ideal. Is there such a thing as a potentiometer or similar that provides between 25K and 50K resistance?
I love the initial dive in to a cold bed. Then you create your warm little cacoon and get all snug and its so nice to sleep in. And then the alarm goes off and its work again :(
You’re going to have to throw down a few more facts. Preferably with proof of some kind, not just unhinged rambling.
> caring about downvotes
mfw when 🥱
I’m at work (RIP)… but I am eating Japanese Curry and playing with my new PTZ camera on my lunch break so it’s not all bad.
Setting up trip wires and intrusion zones and all sorts. It’s fun as! Just waiting for the next courier to turn up so I can see if my settings worked heh… Might order something off Amazon to speed up the process, brb.
