There has been a pretty big bus crash near Safety Beach. Truck carrying scaffolding t-boned a bus.

Good god what is going on with buses in this country?!
There were quite a few in 1989 in relatively quick succession, mainly caused by tired / drugged truck drivers hitting buses on the highway.
It ultimately led to working hours restrictions, plus drug testing for truck drivers.
Aha good bot! @[email protected] can rest easy now. Kudos to your mucking around getting this thing to work :)
I have gym-ed
In today's instance of messed up dreams, I had a very vivid and lengthy one about an insane weather event where BOM predicted it would go down to -26 and -28 in Melbourne over the weekend (just the weekend!) and the forecast recommended in the strongest terms that everybody stay indoors as much as possible. Then in the dream I went to the DT and everyone was losing their shit and people were sharing info of which supermarkets still had stock of anything and locations of official "cold shelters" operated by councils for people to take refuge in if needed. The Alps were being evacuated and there was talk of crop failures and potential deaths in the thousands. It was very real in my head.
It wasn't even that cold this morning!

Cat will not be staying on this new medication! Much rather a destructive nutcase than this pitiful zombie.
Anyone been having trouble when visiting other instances? My other subs don't seem to be updating properly. Lemmy getting too popular.
Grocery shopping is done! Mojo is a thing this morning! :D
Funny sort of an evening. Started with, I think I’ll finish that little bit of cleaning… Next thing I know I’m behind the bloody washing machine. Late dinner out and now it’s past my bedtime and I’m still out… Thank goodness tomorrow is my Friday…
It lives! It’s alive!
puttin' on the ritz
ffs, I thought the swishing sound I could hear was part of the music, but then I noticed the music was over ( listening to Interstellar ) and it was just the bloody dishwasher making noises
.😂😂😂 what does this say about the music I listen to , what does it say about my discernment
There appears to be some sunlight outdoors. What do I do in this situation?
Close the curtains, you don't want to get irradiated
lol. reminds me of 'Airplane'...aka Flying High here.
" Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking... We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused, this is due to periodic air pockets we encountered, there's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight... By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
Flying high. What a laugh. I have to rewatch that again.
I’m teaching a class that involves the students having to watch a movie each week to accompany the content being taught. I’ve watched a lot of the prescribed films in the past, but I need to brush up on them before the semester starts. So I have 10 to watch in a few weeks.
Getting started with the first one. Made a cuppa and put on Harakiri.
I wish my office walls weren't 70% window. I could be napping under my desk right now.
Looks like el nino is now official. Think I might get in early and get a whole lotta that brown dripper hose and throw it on timers.
With Melbs pop. growth since the millenium drought (3.5m ->5.2m)... and near zero new water capacity... If we get a repeat of that...
