  I’m really sad to hear Magda Szubanskis cancer diagnosis. I have had very many belly laughs from her comedy talents over the years. And she seems like a genuinely great person. I hope she can make it through.

  Our work slack communications become increasingly meme-driven on a Friday. It’s a little reminder that my little work team is nice and I am very lucky.

  And we haven’t done a good things thread for a while - anyone else got one to help with the grey day?

    I’ve been meaning to share I really like the windchime I bought over a year ago. I got a good one from Rivers of Yarrambat and it has been great. It sounds nice, opening the door to the backyard fills the room with a nice sound, and it hasn’t shown a sign of wear in that whole time.

    I think placement makes a big difference, I lucked out putting it somewhere it doesn’t cop too much wind, so most days it gives a nice ambient sound without going wild.

    These chilli oils are generally designed to be tasty but not necessarily very hot. I used to eat lao gan ma out of the jar and this stuff is probably not as spicy (this brand appears to be marketed at westeners).

    I did get one made locally brand at some Asian shop a couple years ago that was definitely on the much hotter side. Wish I remembered the name. Took me over a year to finish it. Strong onion presence which I love

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Unfortunately the 2 Lt grim reaper paste is unavailable so he’s been trialing all these other sauces and oils for just a hint of heat and has not succeeded. He’s buying bird’s eyes like you wouldn’t believe. I’m living with a chilli addict.

    I make my own batches of chilli oil, it’s really easy but as said not super hot. More chilli with subtle chai spices.

  Does anyone know if this is any good? Is it actually hot and is it any better than the shit on the shelf?

  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Any chili oil stuff that’s from a smaller brand tends to be good. I picked up some stuff from a Mrs C’s Chili Oil and it has been great. It’s perfectly balanced where I know how much to add for a kick or massive spice

  I think the ball kicking for doggo has caught up with me. Funnily enough it’s the upper back / neck that’s feeling it.

  But I will find appropriate drugs.

  The ball kicking must and will continue.

  I went to fill up before the petrol prices all jumped 60c, apparently everyone else was doing the same. The queue was out onto the road.

  I also grabbed a few essential groceries while I was out - milk, coffee, cat food and cheese.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    A little tip just for you. If you need petrol half way Bacchus Marsh always has the cheapest. 👍

    source
  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I filled up yesterday after I forgot on Wednesday and a whole chunk of places had upped their prices overnight. 20c is one thing but 50-60c is an easy minimum $20 saving on a full tank. Luckily there was no queue at the place yesterday, I once went to fill up at the last cheap station in the western suburbs a few months ago and it took 20 mins just to get to the fuel pump. Tensions were running high with traffic blocking the side street and what have you.

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I went past one last night that’s generally around the middle of the trend and it had already gone up. The tank was getting pretty empty after a couple of long drives so I put nearly 50 litres in, it would have been $27 more expensive to fill up at the more expensive one. Well worth a couple of minutes wait time.

  Happy Nightreign day to those who celebrate. I know what I’m doing this evening

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’ll celebrate on behalf of those who won’t be celebrating Nightreign.

    P.s. My celebration will be a bit different to yours 🍺

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Going off that emoji I think we’ll be celebrating in similar ways.

      I think I’ll drink too much beer and get stuck on the first boss, just like I did with the original Elden Ring.

  Our Anniversary is towards the end of June and I’ve pretty much got the evening all planned. How long do you think I should wait before telling my girlfriend we have plans?

  I wouldn’t tell her what it is just get, but maybe just to be like ‘keep your calendar clear on the 21st, I’ve got it all sorted.’

  Might have found a store with staff more useless than Bunnings. SuperCheap Auto.

  Need new headlight globes. Take them out, bring them in, ask the people there for some help. Bloke grabs a couple of the shelf and rings them up. I walk to my car, look at the box and the fitting looks wrong. Sure enough, it’s the wrong type. I go back in and ask to exchange and he’s trying to tell me they’re the right ones.

  I take one out of the box put it against one of my old ones, similar, but definitely not the same. He mumbles something like “I should have been more specific”

  Mate, how much more fucking specific do you want?

  He tries to help me again, and I kind of shoo him away, grab the right globes, swap them and job done.

  I feel it’s my fault for not grabbing them myself to begin with instead of asking for help.
