  I just finished listening to an audio book of the anthropology of Neanderthals and I feel quite emotional! Truly they were our brothers and sisters and I am so sad they are gone.

    Although not an audio book I too will be indulging in an educational book. The complete adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.

  The whole span needs to be replaced, but the fuckin’ developers who bought the properties can pay for that. Fuck 'em.

    Coming in from Mildura… Guess it’ll be a humid night again.

    Must make sure I get up early enough tomorrow to finish the rest of my gardening before the rain hits…

  For people who drove in the 90s were people as cunty on the roads today? Honestly we need a cunt road tax.

  An individual will be subject to a gut punch for every act of cuntery on the road.

    I think in attitude they probably were, but there were far less cars on the road so you didn’t have problems as often. In my opinion the major problem on the roads are due to overcrowding, which leads to multiple occasions on every drive where what you want to do and what someone else wants to do come in to conflict. A certain number of people will act like assholes to get their way and another portion will act badly occasionally depending on circumstances, but if we had less crowded roads most of these conflicts would never happen in the first place.

    There was still cunty behaviour yes not as many as there is today but there’s a lot more cars on the road these days.

  New packet of shredded cheese is moldy, so I guess we’re gonna see how feta goes in a “leftovers” slice.

  • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Greek, Danish, Bulgarian or Persian feta?

    Don’t leave us hanging without details?

  Got thoroughly toasted outside and am rather dehydrated and tired now, but managed to get some decent gardening done 💪 Rejuvenated some rather dry potting mix, planted out the basil seedlings, repotted a rootbound kniphofia and a last-chance dwarf lemon (why do I have NO luck with dwarf lemons 😭), sowed a bunch of seeds… tomorrow I’ll repot the curry leaf plants, set up the new large rectangular planter box with fresh soil (my back is already aching at the thought), and try to settle on a new arrangement of all the plants with the limited space I have. The manzano chilli plant is big enough that it’s hard to find a semi-shade location for it over summer, so may need to get creative and/or prune judiciously.

  I also really need to find out how to keep the snails off my balcony pots for real. They’re the bastards making it hard to grow anything from seed… especially beloved sunflowers. Any tips gratefully received. I’ve read that the typical barrier tape sold in garden shops isn’t very effective so have ordered some EMI copper tape off ebay.

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I go out at night with a torch and catch the snails.

    The problem with bunnings gastropod tape is it’s copper coloured and does fuck all. The layer is too thin to provoke the galvanic reaction. You want to find a decent garden shop, preferably one with a website that’s from the 90’s to get the good stuff.

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      For now I’ve ordered 50mm wide copper tape used by musicians for electromagnetic interference, hopefully that does the trick for a reasonably cheap price and fast delivery…

    I wasn’t able to watch the match tonight due to a few things and visitors.

    Not sure how bad the loss was but it was worth a shot on them!

    Good luck for tomorrow!
