Just hosted my first proper function through trivia. Vic Socialists had a campaign launch I couldn’t male because of it. It feels silly to miss out on for a trivia event, but it’s for a different good cause

The complete ineptness of people on late night infomercials never fails to amuse. Aparently pouring the contents of a saucepan into a strainer is a nearly impossible task, destined to end in failure.

And there are those that struggle with a mop & bucket.

The thing ro remember is that they’re selling accessibility aids.
It’s stuff meant for people like me, except it has to be marketed to people like you or it will never turn a profit.

That is sometimes true, but I think in this case it was just a gimicky saucepan set. Like many of these ads the ‘solution’ they are showing to the problem doesn’t actually work any better. In this case they ‘solved’ having to hold a strainer and a saucepan at the same time by having a built in strainer that pivots as you pour the contents out. But with handles on both sides of the pot it makes it hard to actually hold and tip a large pan whilst holding it up. A freestanding collander in the sink and resting the pan on the side of the sink while you tip the first of the contents out and lighten the load seems a much safer/easie option to me. Or if it was set up like my mum’s tipping kettle that has a stand so you don’t have to hold the weight in your hands.

Back down da beach back in da studio.
Reprocessed and cleaned up great gramps warrnambool train derailment re-enactment he recorded in 1897.

The poor train:
Original and backstory:
nfsa.gov.au/…/warrnambool-railway-accident-c1897-…
Problem with the original from cylinder is it went to tape so 2 mechanical recording devices (100 years apart!) which introduces a lot of wow and flutter. A lot more tools today to clean things up audio wise.

That is SO FREAKING COOL and is kind of breaking my nerdy little brain. I love it!! Thanks so much for sharing.

The nightmares have started.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
This is a good sign, it means my conscious understanding of the past horrible situation is believed by my subconscious

Years and years on I still struggle with nightmares - even when I theoretically now it’s what my brain needs to digest what happened, it’s still… a lot.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
hugs , I hope they are not too scary or sad
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Hope we are all having a good Saturday!! I’ve played a game on someone’s stream, made food for dayz, painted my nails, steeled myself to look professional tomorrow (lol) and had some crafty time.
