Well, that was a read đ

Dinner tonight with a friend who has (to his utter shock) just managed to buy a house. He wanted to talk solar. All the solar. ALL THE SOLAR. And he got a very very pleasant surprise when we went over the paperwork and he realised just how little a 6kw system could cost him. In fact i had a quote from when we got ours installed for a 6kwh and even factoring in the 2 years inflation, i believe the noise he made was w00t!

Well, I tried using my new funnels with a spice jarâŚ
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Maybe itâs for filling little soy sauce fishiesâŚ
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Those may be for dolls or for filling tiny jars / cremation memorial jewellery
Eagle@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
They are, as you rightly said, quite small. Iâd just never imagined funnels that small!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Those would be for decanting perfume
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Maybe you need to make a lego kitchen with teeny tiny spice jars that need filling. Or make and furnish a dollsâ house. Just to make sure they donât go to waste.

Ahem

Anti-gratitude thread
Took me half an hour to find a parking spot at uni. Also been very irritable lately. Just wanna feel neutral and calm and at peace. Itâs a battle.

Still feeling shitty about my (deserved but painful) $200 fine, that was going to go to the dentist⌠Iâm going to ask for a payment plan to soften the blow.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah Iâve spilled my guts. See below.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Milky Way vs Bounty? A debate ensues.

Removing and rebuilding this 10m long retaining wall is a bit harder than I thought. 1m down 9m to go!
Digging a metre down found a bunch of mysterious old ceramic pipes (which seriously donât move) that wouldâve been there since 1914 (when the place was built). This place used to be a double block and had a tennis court before it was sub-divided waay back (1950âs-ish). Starting to think it was part of the plumbing for a little bougie tennis viewing / outhouse thing.
Sort of conjures up romantic images. Sunny Sunday arvo in spring, everone dressed in their finest cheering on, looking crisp, sipping champagne.
These days though itâs someone arse up in the air, coinslot not leaving much to the imagination, digging dirt out of a ditch with their hands (too tight for a shovel) trying to get shit level wearing trackies and a t-shirt.
Catfish@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Er have you heard of tool libraries?
Catfish@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Nevermind, I read that as the wrong tight
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
What a real good luck-bad luck rollercoaster. Got to leave work early and had a good run of traffic⌠stayed too long on High St while at MKS and got a fucking $200 fine⌠ugh
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
This afternoon is playing all the LPs I havenât listened to yet.
This one I bought without knowing what or who but it just looked interesting. I lolled and lolled when I heard it. Itâs old tv music.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Huh. For years Iâve wanted to know what that piece was!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs also the theme to the Red Skelton Show. I grew up watching that. đ
RustyRaven@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Does anyone have any idea what to use a really tiny funnel for? I apparently misjudged scale on these ones and they are about the width of my fingernail đ¤Ł. I have three of them!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Filling very small bottles. Canât think of any other use.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Make 3 tiny little tin men.
Pilk@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Could you use the, to decant your perfume/EDT/cologne into a mini spray bottle, for use on the road?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Pakige!
Finally arrived. A few thing a bit dodgy that I might return, but mostly looks pretty good. Iâm very impressed by the cross stitch kits - stamped patterns have come a long way, these are all really clearly marked square by square, the ones I remember from years ago were horrible to work with because you had to make a lot of guesses about which colour to use for all the stitches where two colours joined. Given that these kits were mostly around $3-$4 they are amazing - some include an embroidery hoop, and one has a pair of thread cutters as well.
Now I need to go through all the various hemming tapes and things and make sure I know what everything is.
The universe must have been listening about my over-ordering of sticky tape because it seems to have been missed.

Looks like NAB internet banking is down. Hope no one needs to access their accounts tonight!
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Nooooo Tom Hawkins is calling it quits :(
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs big news!
đŤ
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Dusty too. It seems to be the day for it.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah, the Dusty one is interesting for sure.
I wonder if heâll go home or get lured to the Suns?
Grackle@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I figured it was coming but it doesnât make it any easier đ
