Didn't Zip pay pull out of Australia? Places are still offering it. I never really used these buy now pay later platforms but you could stretch a purchase out over like 6 months with Zip

Zip is still around, they launched a new product fairly recently.
Interesting. I just remember they announced they were pulling out of Australia. Then they got hacked. And they were just still around after
You might be thinking of latitude
I must be. There are too many of those companies here. This Machine Kills had a great episode on them a few years ago and why there are so many in Australia
Hmm, I thought they still offered it? I remember the reduced/limited the amount you could have without a credit check a little while back.

where protest? Husband said at exhibition, it's not here, it's at the expo centre?
Ooh I didn't realise you were going
I stayed home cause I'm still feeling crook and really don't have the energy, but I've been reading the ABC's coverage, and it seems like it's winding down now, but has split into 2 groups
From a bit over an hour ago:
Crowds outside the Land Forces expo have now shrunk to a few hundred from their initial thousands this morning.
ABC reporter Jess Longbottom is at the protest, and says demonstrators have mainly split into two groups โ one in front of Crown Casino, and one on the north side of the Spencer St bridge.
More recently:
ABC reporter Natalie Whiting is on the ground at the protest and says protestors on the Batman Park side of the bridge have largely pulled back.
"They have said they are assessing and recouping before deciding whether they will return this afternoon or wait until tomorrow," Whiting says.
"There is still a group of protestors gathered on the other side of the river, closer to the convention centre."

weather on phone says rain at 2, accuweather says rain at 5
I think I have time to do some painting ๐
sorry ๐
The rains have started here
I am still super tired, but laying in bed listening to the rain wrapped up on top of my electric blanket is actually really nice. Unfortunately I can't enjoy it much, because there's so many loud cars and motorbikes around these parts recently, and there's too many helicopters and planes flying about
Also the rains have stopped now
The hail is on you ๐
I've been away for a couple of nights and now Miss Meow has decided I need her constant supervision.

Hehe, TIL I can hear NFC through my headphone cable
I had my headphones plugged into the cable from my PC, but was also using my phone when I started hearing a series of clicks and then a short high pitched squeak. Played around with airplane mode and eventually narrowed it down to the NFC. That's pretty cool!
Now I'm tempted to go chuck some data on an NFC tag and see if I can hear the data ๐ค
Probably a bad idea, could end up being super loud or something. Who knows. Anyway I'm bad at resisting bad ideas, will be back later with a status update
I did it! It wasn't super loud, even on max volume. It's super cool. Also TIL my NFC tags have a size of ~500 bytes
I thought there was something wrong with my wired earbuds I plug in to my laptop, because I was hearing clicks in them at random times. Turns out I was because I was putting my phone back down on the cables. I always theorised it was my phone trying to charge itself wirelessly, but it definitely makes more sense if it's NFC related.
