    The treadmill is now inside and unpacked. That counts as a workout in itself. Disposing of all the foam packing and the box it came in will also be a bit challenging. It folds away easily and neatly as advertised and can be moved fairly easily too. It seems solid and the belt is big enough I can run comfortably on it (for about 5 seconds, then exhaustion sets in). I probably should put shoes on if I want to do more than a very quick test though!

    I still need to work out the best place to put it. At the moment I’ve got it under my desk, I’m not sure if it would be better to leave it there and move it if I want to sit at the desk, or to put it somewhere else entirely. I’ll probably try a few different spots and then decide. It’s very easy to move on the hard floor, fairly easy on a hard mat, and a bit hard on carpet as the wheels sink in and don’t roll properly.

    I am a little tipsy but stuff it. I am ordering one more wine and a packet of salt and vinegar chips for dinner. I have just slipped into relaxed for the first time this week and I am going with it (that’s ok right?)

    Downloading Diablo II: Resurrected, and I see that ActiBlizzFuckers are selling the Warlock class for $40 AUD. That’s insane. Idc if it’s a remaster or remake whatever, DII came out a billion years ago in gaming years, and they’re shilling a forty buck DLC for it.

    Insanity. This is why I buy small indie games if I buy any at all.

    All moaning aside, I’ve had a pint of Guinness (in increments, because Siobhan gives me a funny look if I go a whole one…I’m little! She has concerns!) and procured Mongolian beef noodles and spring rolls.

  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I think beer glasses around 750mls need to be more common. A single can or bottle isn’t enough, a pint can’t hold two cans, and a stein is too big

    source
    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      For me a pint is just right especially when they pop the heating up so you drink more.

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        That’s another option I’ll accept. Make the serving size of more drinks a pint so I can pour it straight into my glass. They’ll need to specify between imperial and metric though, I have a Mastodon pint glass I really like and I’m pretty sure it’s imperial

    So there are renos on one side of me and the new place going on the other.

    Tradies on both sides have their radios on the same station.

    I can’t do 180 degrees of backstreet boys I want it that way at 8am.

    Alrighty.

    Got home around 10ish. The crew were waiting for me which was kind of funny.

    So it was just a one off thing with my heart. It went out of rhythm and got up to 180bpm for about 2 hours then everything went back to normal.

    Blood test showed nothing wrong. ECG showed nothing inherently wrong.

    Just lucky I guess lol

    Mental health

    Grief > rage > slamming hand into wall. Yesterday was not a good day. Today isn’t either.

    Cleaning

    I’ve found a very cheap secondhand Woods lamp online and am having it delivered to a friend so it doesn’t get stolen. Stubborn patches of vom are still glowing under the torch after being cleaned twice so I’ve applied the cleaner again. Maybe it’s because I rubbed excess off afterwards due to worrying about overwetting the carpet. It’s now been applied heavily and left to soak. But am wondering if it might be better to switch products. The pet shop ones are so powerfully overscented though. A very popular brand gave Melbcat asthma attacks and me headaches/migraines.

    Chip scanners

    I’ve now found $20 and $30 microchip scanners online but don’t know how reliable they are. Or how reliable Sir Gadabout is either. Haven’t seen him. Maybe I should calm my farm though and come back to this when I’m feeling better. He probably doesn’t need help and is simply doing the rounds. And the recommended brand of scanner is expensive. I just don’t like him running around without knowing if he’s really ok, or him hunting birds. For now I just want to know if he’s chipped.

    I’ve just put an order in for some new bands for my fit watch, as the silicone bands tend to irritate my wrist fairly quickly. I stopped wearing the last watch because of that issue, it didn’t have a replaceable band.

    There are lots of different band types available now, plus protective covers for the watch itself and various bits of bling you can clip on too. I’ve ordered a few different types , so will be able to do dark and boring to match my work uniform or bright and colourful when I feel like being a bit more fun.

      I’ve had a few cheapo watches and it’s the strap that breaks for me. Latest one I got one with a metal 🤘 strap and it’s held strong. Not a great watch though, it can’t tell my 3am doomscrolling from sleep.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        The standard watches definitely feel too big these days. I got a Samsung Fit3 which is smaller. It’s fairly limited in what it does but covers everything I need it to do.

    Serious tummy upset this morning - must have eaten something I shouldn’t have. That is, I suspect it was the entire lamb rack I did up last night that was meant to last me over the weekend. But I couldn’t stop eating it. Now all gone. Possible protein poisoning I reckon.

        Not really - on a par with ice-cream poisoning, which is the pain in the back of your nose when you eat too much ice-cream too quickly.

      Protein keeps you fuller for longer because it doesn’t digest as quickly as say vegies. You may have overloaded your system. Drink a lot of water. But lamb I totally get it.

    Why do chicken skewers from supermarkets taste weird? And the texture is also weird. Is it the stick?

    source

      Hospitalised myself with supermarket chicken skewers once upon a time, so this comment made me freak out for you a bit 😆

      source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      After a quick squiz at the ingredients I reckon it’s the honey powders, soy sauce powders, vegetable powders, and other ingredients like gums and acidity regulators. If you were making honey soy chicken marinade yourself it wouldn’t have any of these things. Not everyone has the time though.

      source
      • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Good to know thank you. That’s a lot of powder 😂

        source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Never eaten any so can’t help. Suspect the marinade, and the use of spare bits of chook leftover from separating out the good bits to be sold separately.

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        same, I make my own

        source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      probably the marinade

      also

      TIL there is such a thing as powdered spice mixes with powdered honey and soy etc

      source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I agree. Wish they would sell plain ones, then I can flavour them myself. The time consuming part is the chopping and threading. To sprinkle some spice mix, or mixing some honey soy garlic in a bowl and pouring over is the quick part.

      source
    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve had the Woolworths and Aldi skewers, they’re not as great as homemade and the chicken isn’t like a pure cut of breast or anything, but I sometimes buy as a good quick meal in a pinch. What flavour did you have?

      source
      • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I got teriyaki this time but I have tried all the other pre marinaded ones. There’s a pervasive flavour in the background on all of them which I can only attribute to the stick. Also the texture is off somehow. It’s hard to explain.
