    They let me go.

    I know why, but under probation they don’t have to give a reason.

    Got a few interviews this week so that’s good.

    Gotta keep moving forward.

      it can be very unsettling to be let go, even by people who weren’t really treating you well

    Cleaning rambles

    Cleaning out the fridge. Threw out old dried up bottles of girlie’s medication, the homemade broth and kitten formula she didn’t finish… the open wet food and pumpkin baby food are already in the bin and the opened bag of her dry food has started being fed to the black scallywag before it expires. The plain yogurt she didn’t like anymore can go. :( Old bags of flour. Bin. Cordial I won’t drink. Out to whoever takes it. Cocoa powder that might be stale. Bin. Cat milk mini cartons. See if vet or shadowy visitor wants. A freshly opened tin of powdered kitten formula with a condensation damaged label that probably wouldn’t be accepted by a shelter… Move sealed tin to freezer in case of random surprise kittens I guess? Going to run the emptied containers through the dishwasher twice because it doesn’t clean some things well but I’m not up to hand washing everything. It doesn’t rinse very well either. I used a utensil without rinsing it extra under the tap and the soap residue burnt my tongue. Then I’m going to have to wipe this thing out and give away stuff from the freezer.

    Lentils and so good.

    And my new freezer cube meal prep is paying off. I had some extra tomatoey marsala gravy from a previous curry and so I froze it and some leftover coconut cream from previous meal.

    WFH day today so lunch was cube of marsala gravy, small portion of the coconut cream, portion of onion-celery-carrot mix, portion of frozen spinach. All dumped in the instant pot with lentils, a stock cube and water. Served over defrosted rice portions.

    So so yum and so easy. Thanks past me!

      Everything sounds grand except the rice. I’ve always found frozen rice to have a weird unpleasant texture. Have you a trick?

      source
      • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Not really. Brown rice slightly undercooked, then drown it in yummy lentils so I don’t notice the texture 😎😎

    Back on OPERATION DOWNPIPE CLEANING FURY.

    I am determined to foolishly not pay anyone to do this or fall off the roof.

    Starve the beast.

      I have to cut the bum off one of ours and direct it into a tub with a 12v bilge pump (weirdly I actually already have all these parts and the battery / panel ready to go) because it turns out it goes absolutely fucking nowhere .

      We’re gonna smash up that pathway and redo it anyway as it’s rooted to shit, and put in a proper line and drain then but still. Annoying.

    the flies down at the beach are driving me crazy lately, I think they are march flies, they stick

    I seriously feel like Pigpen while I’m down there

    apparently they like denim, ok, I will wear light colours and see what happens

    So I bought a salt rifle for the flies as recommended here. Lots of fun. One problem: Every time I go to use it after a few days the salt is too moist for it to work properly and I have to clean it out and use fresh salt. I am using Coles cheap iodised salt that I have on hand. Does anyone have a tip on how to keep the salt dry?

    source
    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I don’t have that problem. The things I do are: Not to have it cocked so there’s no salt in the chamber and I lay it on its side under my coffee table away from sunlight. Laying it on the side prevents it from entering the hole. I use Aldi’s table salt and I don’t know if it’s different from the Coles table salt. I wouldn’t put anything else in there. I hope that helps.

      source
      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        different from the Coles table salt

        It’s all NaCl I wouldn’t worry about that.

        source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I was going to suggest trying salt with an anticaking additive but the Coles iodised salts already seem to have it.

      Haven’t seen the guns in person… Is the salt reservoir large enough to accommodate a tiny silica packet like the kind found in vitamin bottles? And would it interfere with firing?

      You could mix in a small amount of bicarb to help keep it dry and free flowing /shrug

      source
      • mertn22@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I’m trying bicarb first. The salt ‘magazine’ is too small for silica gel packet.

      • mertn22@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        If bicarb doesn’t work I will try a couple of coffee beans. Rice would be ideal but I worry it might get stuck and wreck the gun.

    Had a dream that Jisoo from Blackpink helped me fuck over an unnecessarily rude person by buying her house and turning it into an AirBNB farm stay. The house was in an abandoned school at the bottom of a mountain and Jisoo owned a 5* resort of the top of the mountain.

    Saw PHM last night. I’m glad I went into it having seen other comments about it not following the book exactly, as that helped me to let go of expectations and enjoy it as a different medium. Loved some of the visual interpretations though!

      I don’t think it changed anything or dropped anything, it did add one or two things.

    Steam do not seem to want to refund Doom Eternal, not acknowledging the issue with the version I bought. As far as I’m concerned I own this game so I’ll play it whether that’s extra legally or not.

    That being said, my Steam account is old enough to vote and this is the first issue I’ve had with them in a long time

    Today’s main activity will be making tofu. I made the soy milk for it yesterday, which involved an awful lot of mess and chaos, mostly because I used too many beans in the maker, had to divide it into multiple portions and then messed around trying different containers and methods of pressing the bag of mushed up soy goo etc. It was the complete opposite of a streamlined process. I decided to buy a press to make it easier in future.
