Beautiful Melbourne day out there. 🙂
Arise, arise, riders of Rohan!
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered!
A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor!RIP Bernard Hill, Théoden King
All hail King Theoden.
May he rest in peace.
He was so good. 😢
After months of snap send solve for a mattress dumped in the park, someone spray painted “Handjob Club. Thursdays 9pm. Kids Welcome.” on it and stood it up next to the scout hall entrance. Mattress gone the next day.
This is great. The sub deserves a photo of this.
Beauty. The true Aussie spirit in action.
A lesson in incentivisation.
Chaotic Good cleaning up the streets
Tactical Urbanism.
What council, if you don’t mind me asking?
Dandy.
Does it feel unusually warm tonight? Feel like I’m boiling.
Meanwhile why are we still filling out paper customs declarations cards in Australia? Surely it’s the kind of thing that could be made available online (where it could be translated in multiple languages).
I know there’s data security to consider but they are probably already storing all sorts of data about departures and arrivals.
I think the purpose is to make you sign a declaration that you aren’t a crim or a terrorist or have been deported etc etc That way if you do some dodgy shit or have done some dodgy shit they can get you for that
I don’t understand why people still approach you when wearing headphones…
Why?
To warn you you are about to walk in the path of a tram. ( I have even had to grab people )
I get that, but mine is never drastic.
Is always to ask me a question. All these people around without headphones… and I still get asked!
So you guys remember that FOI request to AmbVic I was considering last month? Well I decided to go ahead and make it. They seemed a little, um, unsure about what I was asking for. They misspelt my name, deemed my request invalid because they thought I was requesting information about an ambulance attendance so they wanted ID, a phone number, and more information. Then 12 minutes later they sent me another email stating they realised I was not requesting that information (but nothing else) then an hour later sent a third email apologising stating they realised I was not requesting information about an ambulance attendance, I didn’t need to provide ID, and I did not need to provide a phone number.
Well, they finally processed it and provided a list of all the branch locations and their addresses today. But they sent it as an encrypted excel workbook thing that they didn’t provide me permission to open…
Also, I don’t want to rag on them too much, but their emails have had so many typos and grammatical errors I found it kind of concerning.
Well bugger. I think I’ve eaten some mouldy food today.
Two mini cupcakes in the morning and just now a bunch of stale biscuits that I didn’t look too hard at.
Pray for me.
You might be surprised by what you can tolerate. Fingers crossed you don’t suffer too long!
I’m still alive!
Tummy was a bit funny before but I wonder if that was anxiety causing it.
Just ate some other stuff and I’m feeling ok now.
The gut is so complex like that. So much that is beyond just what we eat in the here and now… our state of mind, long term diet, past infections can do so much to our gut flora. I’m surprised that I’ve been able to have coffee again without the loose motions after years of struggling with it - but for how long I’m not sure! And I have no idea what changed
I’m not sure but I think we are the only ape that doesn’t eat mould or mouldy food . It’s why we don’t have a blue food group. The only reason is that we are so good at finding food we don’t need to eat mouldy stuff. We can digest it, we just don’t have any appetite for it.
Off foods, such as dairy or meats are different and you shouldn’t eat those.
Does cheese count as mouldy food?
@Thornburywitch @Seagoon_ Some of the most delicious foods are basically mouldy (or at least use yeast or a culture of some kind).
Cheese, wine, bread, cake, yoghurt, kimchi…
And you probably don’t want to know how salami is made.
You’ll probably be fone
The stale biscuits won’t hurt you but the mouldy cupcakes might. I’ll pray for you anyway 🙏
Biscuits could have been mouldy too.
I had them stored in the same container :(
Oh dear 😔
RIP anyone with a Thuraya Satellite phone. Their satellite targeting Australia failed, and now all their phones are paperweights.
Their satellite targeting Australia failed
Thats what they WANT you to think. Bloody Jewish space laser took it out! /s
Relationship officially over.
He didn’t even want to talk it out. Just said we are done over text and blocked me everywhere.
This is going to be a time of growth for me. Only up from here!
I’m so sorry.
lots of hugs
Ah man. I remember how giddy and excited you were when first meeting the guy. But it sounds like it’s all for the best now (what a dropkick breaking up with you via text). And you’re very much ready to move on yourself.
You’re better off without the guy, and I think this experience will be a great one to take note of what worked + what didn’t. Pay attention to what you felt you needed from him (that kept you in the relationship) and try to find other sources for that, or interrogate the quality of what you were getting, so as to avoid going back to him in a moment of loneliness and/or inebriation ;)
You got this!!! 💪
I’m sorry. That sounds devastating.
He was no prize though. He was noncommittal, self centred, low effort, and consistently treated you like an option. I agree with the advice to block him everywhere in case he comes back sniffing around again. It will also stop you lurking his page and picking at wounds.
I hope these offer some comfort
Skimming through your comment history…and yikes.
You’ll be better off in the long run.
I’m sorry for the pain he has caused you, but the trash took itself out. Block them back, just in case they get drunk and weird, and leave them in the past.
You got this!
You deserve wayyyyyy better than that guy was giving you!
Ooh rough.
Over text is a bit fucked tbh you might have dodged a bullet there
@LowExperience2368 @Seagoon_ Lots of hugs.
I’ve been there before.
Breakups are the worst — even if he’s a complete and utter jerk (and from the sounds of it, he definitely is).
Know that it’s natural to cry, it’s natural to mourn.
And if you have a sleepless night, no-one will begrudge you if you take a day off work or cancel your plans for tomorrow.
There’s no rush. Give yourself time to grieve.
It might take time, but know things will get better.
this was from the dude with the disgusting valentines card yeah? First up, I’m sorry. Second of all, and again sorry if this sounds rough, but I am CERTAIN you’re gonna look back on this relationship and be glad its over. Probably not today or tomorrow, but that day is coming. Take a deep breath in and out, cause you’re free of that asshole.
I’m also sorry to hear but probably for the better that you’re not with him.
You deserve someone way better than that.
Day 15 chilli ferment pH test
Thing is not going to kill me this is a good colour. Using a soil pH test kit (of all things) immediately headed towards acidic. That was a good ferment.
Going to blend it up tm with some vinegar to punch it down a bit more
That is so clever!! That way you know it’s safe and actually fermenting properly.
Fermenting, like, turning into alcohol? I don’t know how I feel about that, but chilli alcohol sounds kinda vile. Then again, I watched a series where a dude turned mountain dew into wine, and another where he turned peeper marshmallows into a mead and it looked kind of interesting.
Sauerkraut is fermentation. Cheese is fermentation. Pickles are fermentation. Sourdough is fermentation. Not all fermentation is alcohol.
Ok.
more like sauerkraut or kim chi.
Ah, right
It is at this time, that I wish I could rip my nose off and burn it. So swollen is the tissue up there, not snot, just enflamed. Sat within my hoodie with a bowl of hot water to decongest or whatever, which provided temporary relief.
I can’t breath through it, but I am loathe to breath through my mouth as it gets so dry. Everything fucking hurts.
Le Whinge
doesn’t sudafed reduce the swelling?
hugs and a hot honey lemon drink 🍯🍋🍵
@Seagoon_ I’ve got a flight coming up soon.
It’s not this week, it’s not next week, but it is the week after.
Too early to start packing?
I might buy a few things likes gifts for people early but packing, normally 30 minutes before the taxi arrives. 🤭
Very few photos are more humbling then the passport photo as someone who doesn’t ware makeup. Being forced to remove your glasses when they’re something I use to detract from the ugly also doesn’t help🫠
I won’t even look at mine :shudder:
Even makeup goes wrong, too. Mine looks like a complete mug shot. Seriously. Everytime I look at it I immediately can see it being splashed across some US channel. LOL.
I think I might go and impulse buy one of these and step up my blended drinks game. I have a blender but I only ever use it when I’m making frozen margs and it’s heavy and annoying to clean.
Ted has been attacking Bill so I held Ted for 20 seconds just to show him he’s not so tough. He did not like it.
Love/Hate when you gotta remind the bully they are NOT the top of the food chain.
