Yeah real gold. I sold it for around $3200 at the time, I did have a look after I commented and it’s worth just shy of $5100 today… probably should have held onto it

Edit: AUD that is

So I no longer work there but I worked 10+ years as Ops manager in international removals. Once a year we would do a stocktake on all the inbound freight locations, pull aside anything that was out of place and then try and find an owner, most of the items were returned to their owners. But every year there would also be a few items without any identification, I would set these aside myself in the warehouse and then the following year if still unclaimed I would take them home or throw it in the bin.

The best items are 3 x 1.5L bottles of Penfolds Grange & 50g bar of gold.

But other than that there are so many items, a limited edition Beatles Sargent Pepper’s marble pressing with all the inserts intact. Few antique gold mirrors. Artwork. Media centre PC. Dining table and chairs. 2 Herman Miller office chairs, that’s just the stuff I remember while looking around my house now

I love me some Minecraft, best $10 I ever spent, 11 years of free major updates so far and still going strong.

If you like the sandbox survival games Id recommend Medieval Dynasty, been playing this for the passed year, the survival part of it is pretty tame although you can adjust the setting to make it harder but I really like the village building / settler management aspect while still being a first person style game

They did shrink their Expedit into the Kallax

They can just log straight in, there is an android app or they can even login via a browser

I’m like you, hadn’t pirated outside of games since early 2000s and just started again. Wait until you see the shit we have now, it’s mind-blowing how far it’s come.

And with Jellyfin if you have the upload speeds you can even host for family etc, so anyone sharing your Netflix now can just login to your Jellyfin server, for them it will be a comparable experience.

Hmm you can play lol on steam deck… I can suffer on the go now

As another tall person my knees ache just looking at this photo

God this just unlocked a core memory for me but I don’t remember the name of the game, it was a hockey game maybe on Atari or PC where you could fight 1v1, you’d push the other guy around and eventually it would zoom in on you two and you’d both throw your gloves on the ground and punch on

TKL - I actually used one of these for years, well a bit smaller than the one pictured, felt really comfortable gaming because your mouse is closer to the centre. But yeah as so as I had to WFH it got replaced for an almost full size

It’s interesting that the following centuries all calculate correctly, maybe fixed along with y2k

Don’t know if it’s bizarre but I was shocked when I found out I’d been lied to my whole life… a leap year isn’t every 4 years.

So leap years happen when the year is divisible by 4, but not when the year is divisible by 100 but then they do again when the year is divisible by 400.

So the year 2000 is a perfect example of the exception to the exception. Divisible by 100 so no leap year, but divisible by 400 so leap year back on…

Yep I’ve tried them both and can pick between Tidal and Spotify when flicking between the same song but if played a random song on 1 service and not the other I can’t pick it, Spotify is definitely good enough for me.

Only 2TB NVMe, newly build PC. So far I’ve ordered 2x 20TB HDD drives for storage and both have arrived dead

I’ve taken 3 pay cuts so far. Had 3 pay increases since covid forced wfh and each time it’s been less than inflation. I haven’t pushed for more because I’ve been left alone and am one of the last employees here still 100% wfh.

I’m on salary, I already had somewhat flexible hours when I was in the office, had to start at a specific time but could leave when the bulk of my work was done and then would log on from from at the end of the day and tidy up anything that came in after I left. It wasn’t uncommon for me to only be in the office for 3-4 hours on a typical day and my commute was 45mins to an hour, so time wise I now I spend ~50% less time at work.

Fuck is that what it is? Sometime I just give up after they seem to reset 3-4 times

I’m so upset at myself for not getting a screenshot but I was in a hurry to complete one and no shit it was a few images you had to confirm if it had a bus in the picture and one of them was a photo of a snow covered bus stop which looked liked Russia with 2 guys having a fucking axe fight, blood splatter in the snow and all…

Wtf I’m 4 kids deep and (thankfully) never come across dripple rash

Definitely not, I’m almost night blind… But maybe that has something to do with it too

World Of Warcraft. I stopped looking at /played once I passed 5000 hours and that was during WoTLK, I’m gonna take a guess and say i would have ended up between 12-13k hours. Just stopped playing one day about 4 years ago and have had no interest in logging back in for some reason… just weird I’d had enough.
