For a little guess what, what do you think this is for and what’s it called? No googling!

    It is for olives, you clever women but it has a name. Fun fact: it was given to me as a birthday present. I had no clue what it was until the giver told me.

  It looks like a shoehorn, but that would be absurd. For deseeding something specific?

  Ok. This thing is for olives and is called an olive boat and I was as stumped as you were when I received it. There you go.

  Impressed. Mine take up at least 2 drawers, and the least use stuff in a separate box in a cupboard.

Has anyone else walked through 101 Collins Street before? I swear you could set a Kubrick inspired horror movie in that foyer alone

source
- Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Yep. Know it well. For a while, the State Revenue Office had it’s customer service centre there (alas no longer extant). Went there a lot. Personally, I’d choose this spot to bury a few pharoahs for future reference.

    One thing I noticed today is the pillars don’t actually connect to the ceiling. They go most of the way up then just stop. Purely ornamental

  Yes, I used to do corporate catering for Macquarie Bank, many moons ago now. The foyer a massive cavernous space with marble from arsehole to breakfast time as I recall.

In my dreams I got a half leg tattoo. A portrait of Stephen King surrounded by his most famous literary characters.

On my arm, I got a rosary beads encircling some indiscernible text or logo. I remember feeling quite pleased with the work.

I spent the remainder of my dream being hunted down by Nazis.

Cats and birds seem to like me lately.
The maggies started following me today, not in a hostile way but because I wiggled my fingers in a wave and they thought I might be throwing food. (I no longer feed them, only did it a few times initially so they would learn not to swoop me. I now only give them water.) They were single mindedly waddling and hopping along after me on foot, and then flying between telephone lines and trees to keep tabs on me. Thought I was going to get mugged. And a ginger cat came out meowing for attention, smooching and doing roly polys. (I showered and washed clothes as soon as I got home in case of any cat illnesses spreading to my own sick elderly girl and also so she wouldn’t smell them.) It’s good, I can use a boost. Melbcat is a little less enthusiastic about being loved on right now because I’m making her take her antibiotics but she’s a good sport and still snuggling and spooning with me (and only taking occasional revenge).

Ah good another ocular migraine. Love this!!!

source
- underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Ew. Migraines can suck a dick, especially the ‘fancier’ types- I occasionally get vestibular or hemiplegic. So much worse than the common-or-garden variety, and those are quite bad enough.
  
  I hope you get some relief soon.

  - TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    I’m very lucky that I don’t seem to get it as bad as other folks, my only symptoms (so far) are only ocular. Still, wouldn’t rate the experince.

Crikey, I don’t know what it is about today, but I’m so much sweater than yesterday. I almost turned on the air con, but the temp is finally dropping a bit now so the windows will very slowly cool it down a bit

  Yep. I’ve been a sweaty mess all damn day. Like just dripping. I have a cool wet towel to dab it up and have been guzzling water like a hydro-slut. Maybe it’s the humidity?

Ah man, I think I need to stop commenting on anything divisive on the internet.

I’ll post something that’s intended to be a fun fact or a conversational tidbit (or a smartarse little joke to get a laugh) and someone will take it really seriously. Like they think it’s an endorsement or a challenge or something.

It really isn’t. I’ve definitely got my own views on things but I’m mostly just interested in hanging out and chiming in with something vaguely related

Anyone got any kitchen/cabinetry people they’ve worked with in the past and liked? All the edging on my cabinets is stained yellow and some of its starting to come unglued. Between that, some very minor water issues and a bit of rust in the oven i’m pondering if its worth a small touch up, or if I need to start saving up to gut it and start over.

Dont think I can keep chipping away and these minor issues 1 by 1.

I tried to pop into Troika Bar yesterday, but it was closed. I’ve been away for the last month and I’m hoping that it’s closed just for the Xmas break, but through the window I noticed that all the silver mylar/foil was torn down.

Anyone know what the deal is?

I watched a video on this modern pc that runs Windows 98, but it’s like 500 Euros.

Then I looked up how to install windows 98 on an old thinclient. But it’s complicated and you could lose Bluetooth, WiFi, and USB ports.

If you want a computer for authentic retro gaming you could put WINE on a cheap thin client since WINE runs old programs better than windows

While Miss Seagoon was here on holiday she did a lot of reading. One book was of the lovely edition of The Hobbit i got her. She really liked it but she had questions about Tauriel, Kili and Legolas . It was very fraught. 😬

“It’s world building”

“It’s a prequel to the lotr movies”

“To round out the characters and to also demonstrate the prejudices around relationships between dwarves and elves”

My melatonin is coming from South Korea this time. That’s interesting. Usually it comes from California. This time it came from Incheon, SK, and they’ve flown it over to Perris CA, US, just to fly it to Australia. Seems like it would’ve been more efficient to just make it go Vroom Vroom from SK to AU

I also ordered something from JB which is coming through “Australia Post Metro Services”, which I’ve never heard of. Looks like it’s basically just express post but they deliver on Saturdays and they pick it up from the sender rather than the sender dropping it off. JB reckons it will arrive tomorrow. Auspost reckons Monday. It’s currently in Somerton, after having been posted from Thomastown. Bets are now open: will it arrive tomorrow, or Monday?
