Presenting the beginnings of the metric polypipe DOME OF DOOM for the chilli patch.
Garden ties and an old bike tube as lashing. I doubt it’ll be sturdy enough but we’ll see
Think I might wait and think about the netting for the next week and just see if the frame holds up.
This is giving off pyramid vibes. Maybe put razor blades under it to sharpen them up (and discourage the chilli thief).
Omg we have a VHS player! I actually have a bag of VHS tapes I got from an op shop last year. I’ve never played a VHS before and I’m kinda excited ngl
I don’t even know what I bought honestly. There’s a handwritten one about wildflowers, and some Disney movie, but I don’t know about the rest. I just saw 10c each and was like “ooh! Old people media! I will buy!” Love ya, Vinnie’s
Ha. I have a VCR. I don’t think it has been plugged into power at any point in the kids’ lives. It’s just been there at the bottom of the entertainment cabinet, dark and mysterious and ignored.
The only tapes I still have are Star Wars remastered (Han still shoots first) and 1997 editions. Widescreen versions.
I should put them on one day. In this day and age of streaming and Bly Rays, VHS will be an experience.
Hey. Those “old people” tapes may contain some risque stuff. Be careful.
With the tracking transition 🤣
Ha, I’ve read enough horror stories on Reddit to know to watch out, or rather not watch out!
If they taped shows or movies off the telly there will be old ads
( first show I saw on tape was Blake 7 , I borrowed a player from the library at school, it was 1978. )
You might also need to use a tape head cleaner first .
Clean the heads, but please don’t use a head clean tape ( in the bizzare offchance you find one) those things were sandpaper, you want a light solvent.
I thought taping over movies was the sort of things parents yelled at you for
So far the most annoying thing people have done is not rewinding their tapes
I don’t know what a tape head cleaner is, or for that matter what a tape head is, but I’m just going to put the tape in the box and hope for the best
Copying movies from the telly. You could buy blank tapes and record from a camcorder or copy from a telly, either by cable or just pointing the camera at the screen.
Il-lejl it-tajjeb
I’m unfamiliar with the last word. My parents would be so disappointed lol
Good night in Maltese. I hope.
Ah I speak Arabic. Those 2 languages are quite similar
Cool. I only really know greetings and food in arabic because that’s how I communicate with my in-laws. My husband says I have a bogan pronunciation which he loves. I did understand shookrun when you replied yesterday because that was my very first arabic word.
Maltese friends say they can understand most arabic spoken.
The crazy yelling guy in my neighbourhood is getting quite deranged. He was sitting at a tram stop screaming incoherently at a bunch of people sitting outside at the pub for a good ten minutes or more, a cop car even drove past entirely unaware. He always sounds really hoarse and threatening, always loud, but I can barely make out what he’s saying
I don’t want to ask your catchment area, and these might just get you handballed around… but hopefully one of these services might prove useful or get you referred to one that is?
You could also call psych triage and see if there’s anything they can advise
Edit: Sorry it’s some random BPD resource but it’s got all the CATT numbers for each area in one place https://www.bpdcommunity.com.au/hidden-content/is-this-a-crisis
he sounds like he’s in terrible distress
not that he should be scaring people tho
fuck this meth epidemic
I wish a bug was as entertaining to me as it is to my cat.
That said, big day of interview preparation coming up. Got my friend to help me with some technical stuff this evening so that will help heaps.
Enjoy your day everyone ⭐
My cat finds onion skins to be very entertaining. Cats are very adept at finding joy in the simple things.
Just drove back home to the city from Ballarat. The smoke is absolutely disgusting there. Got into my apartment and promptly spewed my guts out. Not sure if it’s the smoke or something I had.
Thankyou for warning. Cooking had covered it so far. Doors all taped up now!
I just cracked open a window in my CBD apartment. The smoke is here now too!
Yep i was driving with it as it slowly got clearer but still a haze through the city. Ballarat itself though suuuuuuuuuucks! It was enough to hurt your eyes.
Melbourne has got a tinge of smoke too now.
Why is it so hard to figure what to write about difficult family stuff in a kind considerate way when dickheads seem to have no trouble finding the words to be nasty .
So I just bought a unit…
Whoa. Congratulations 🎉🥂🍾
Ahhhhhhh yesssss!!! That’s amazing!!! Oooo I’m so happy for you!!
Just the one?
Yay! ✨
Congratulations 🍾
Congrats! 🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡
Yay! That’s great! Must be such a relief
Yep, third time lucky!
Not enough brain for proper sewing so made twiddles. Very happy with colour match, but the advisability of usage near felines remains to be seen.
They are begging to be slobbered on and ripped apart.
wool meeses
Logically you are right
They’re so pretty. Is that crewel wool?
Mostly DMC cotton floss. Some silk & linen.
It’s really nice. You can just see the lovely quality of thread and colours. 😊
a nice cat pic of Ted, because we need cat pics
spoiler
Such a cutie! 😍
Here’s Mickey, to add to the cat pic trend
mickey
Kiss his little head for me please.
He has now be kissed on behalf of you 😊 now he’s making biscuits and purring like crazy lol he is such a sweet boi
aww, what a sweetie 🥰
This is Marceline. Pretty and slightly undignified, like myself.
She is stunning! 😍
Questions for those who use water chestnuts. Is it ok to sample them from a can before they get to the wok? Basically will I die? I may have eaten 1/4 can.
All food in cans is cooked and sterilized so should be fine to eat straight from the can. There are few riskier foods in general than fish which we eat straight from the can all the time without a second thought, so water chestnuts should not worry you at all.
I was thinking more if they’re ok to eat raw like cabbage cooked or raw good. Potatoes cooked yes. Potatoes raw no.
Everything in a can is cooked. The process involves being heated in a pressure cooker and held at above boiling temperatures for a length of time. So it definitely passes the cooked test. But even if it didn’t water chestnuts are also fine to eat raw. So if there are still any left feel free to finish off the can.
I love water chestnuts. I can relate to this.
Not unless you’d die from the same can cooked.
Time will tell.
Try out water chestnut cakes if you haven’t already. Tasty little things will scratch that itch
Interesting. Will do. Thanks.
I hurt my hand with the vacuum so no more vacuuming. Cunt.
Wow you sound like me, or maybe I sound like you. I shut a door on my fingers Thursday night and I am very happy it was just me home because I called the door some very… Interesting things
stupid fucking vacuum cleaner attacking you on a stupid fucking manky day fuck the fucking thing.
offers gummy worms
I read this in a very northern Qld bogan accent and I could actually imagine overhearing that in a country pub somewhere
It’s a sign, no chores today!
My little finger agrees.
Time to ice it up with an ice cold beer.
I’ve eaten so I’m gonna have a nice nap instead.
Sounds like a good idea!
r u ok?
Yeah I’m ok thanks. I’ll live.
full offense to A Certain Workplace but me kinda drunk operating with a hand full of fruit tingles is a better fucking laptop repairer than their entire dedicated staff.
(going over my loot so far not even a bung part. JFC. Corporations that do this need to be shot.)
I know. It’s lucky I didn’t reef it across the room.
I’ll take a rain check on those gummy worms. I’ve been very good on the sugar lately.
Edit: whoops I replied to the wrong comment. I knew this would happen some day.
but you did reply to the right person, so still a win.
Shoulder injury headache is kicking my ass. Bed for the rest of the day. It’s been a long time since I’ve had one, I’ve forgotten how shitty they feel.
Imagining this is akin to bad neck headache. Eye wants to pop out? Sympathy!
Thank you ❤️ it’s finally starting to fade.
There is absolutely no wind out there and you can definitely feel the absence of it.
