    today’s task: cat butt shield for roomba CLEAN button.

    The number of cats joyriding the roomba at inconvenient hours is too damned high

    The $$ n95 masks that I coughed up for in small/medium size are still too big. My lower eyelashes shouldn’t be touching the mask. TIL my face is really small?

      I don’t know if that’s better or worse than your face being too big, but we had a really big worker at my last place during COVID times and even the extra large face masks barely fit. Like, they’d stay, but if he talked it would no longer stay and his chin would pull it down

        He wore the mask too loosely. The mask should sit flat in from of his ears and not move when your face moves. Adjust the elastic, with knots if need be.

      It’s not the size, it’s the design. Size is for ear to ear and nose to chin measurement, the design is for how it fits your face.

      How big the bridge of your nose is and how high your cheekbones all effect how a mask fits.

      If you can, wear the mask lower under you chin and pinch it harder on your nose to make it sit there.

    I’m pleasantly surprised by the specialist I saw. After years of other specialists shrugging their shoulders and saying it’s psychosomatic, kind of being jerks about it, this guy has suggested MALS or Nutcracker Syndrome as a cause of the pain.

    Tests are pending. Fingers crossed something treatable is found because living like this is arse

    I’m not sure why they thought major freeway/road works AND buses replace trains at the same time was a good idea! Last week was stuck on a bus standing room only hurtling down the monash at 100kmh. This morning I drove to a station that has trains running and was stuck between tradies and SUVs hurtling down the monash at 120kmh. Terrifying in the little sedan. Cant win for losing.

      I’m not anti seatbelts or anything like that, but I love the irony in how strictly (and expensively) enforced seatbelts in cars are, but them when it comes to replacement buses, it’s ok to stand while your NASCAR wannabe bus driver is doing 100 (or 110) down the freeway. Idk what it’s like over your ways, but the buses they used for the Sunbury line were so run down and old I don’t think there’s much hope of surviving a crash even at 60 while you’re sitting, let alone standing. Plus city buses are almost exclusively low floor and don’t have very thick side panelling, so there’s no protection you’d get like I’m a road coach

        Absolutely! We were hurtling along and I had that meme pop into my head “hehe, I’m in danger” cause if something goes wrong I’m TOAST!

    So Tourism Central Australia wants a bail out package of $50 million. Hmm k well you can only put so much lipstick on the pig that is Alice Springs. The money would surely be better directed to getting a grip on the underlying issues?

      Tourism in Australia is too expensive. I went overseas to Japan a few years ago, after pricing up a Queensland holiday for 2 weeks.

      Bro, we are a capitalist society. This kind of root cause analyses and “trying to help people” isnt really the theme we’re going for here.

    Buried some of Mum’s ashes in the back garden of the new place, at about the time she died two years ago.
    A magpie started singing as I covered them up. She would have liked that, I think.

        I moved a dead magpie off the road a while ago. There were a bunch of magpies on the powerlines around it. I sort of placed it in order next to a tree in the nature strip. They all started squawking when I picked it up, and started warbling when I placed it. I tossed out a handful of broken up dog treats, for their wake. I think they got it.
