the new melbourne metro stations are beautiful, but there is hardly any seating on the platform but so much space to have them.

watching the big texan steak challenge (thanks to the alerts using github.com/TimLChan/ste...) and this person was really smart.
the 72oz steak by itself? $200. steak challenge with a 72oz steak and sides? $72.
the legend packed away 3/4s of the steak w/ some sides and saved $128!

finally got out of authy's #totp generation.
wrote a slightly opinionated converter of the decrypted Authy TOTP file.
a lot of sites implement the 2fa qr code in a weird way and i never bothered to fix it when adding, so what better time than to do it now.

Citibank Australia finally rebranded to MyCard by NAB.
while migration is never easy, i would have appreciated a bit more polish before being moved over. there's a few screens / sections with weird padding that shouldn't have gone out, and it does feel a bit rushed.
feedback provided so we'll see

why are wallets gendered, and why do women’s card holders get a zipper pocket for coins and men’s one don’t?
i just want a card holder with a coin purse thing that isn’t elongated so it can fit in my pocket, is that too much to ask?

got myself a cheapo z.ai/subscribe?ic... (ref) GLM 4.6 subscription. $32.40 for the lite plan after the 10% discount code.
apparently up to 120 prompts every 5 hours which is nice.
it'll complement windsurf's 25 credits/m (mainly sonnet), kilo code's generous top up bonuses (claude + free models)

spent some time today using a mixture of @kilocode.ai and @windsurfai.bsky.social today with claude to rewrite the css on timc.me to use #daisyui.
in most cases it "just worked" and it definitely made the conversion from flowbite components to daisyui much quicker.
