They’re all acting like they DONT live in a country of gun loving nut jobs. How much furthers it gotta go before someone decides to become a martyr on either side and try “solve the problem” with a rifle?

I used to have the wool jacket, but these days its either a Northface or a Jack Wills puffer i got from the UK. I prefer the wool look, its much more classy, but I find the puffer much warmer.

yeah I’m tipping my hybrid flooring helped a lot over the previous “lets glue vinyl flooring direct to the slab” solution implemented by the builders. Our problem is draughts. The seals on the windows are rooted, the windows are single glaze and cheap and the back door has a gap big enough to stick a finger through.
Not really problems 80% of the year though so bit hard to throw any serious money at it all.

Its me. I’m the cheap fuck.

one dude had an answer to that: Over ear headphones. Honestly a pretty elegant solution. They were both really strange. one guy had a cool hoodie and a vest and that was it, which didnt seem enough. Another was cap and jumper as if he didnt feel the cold but with a scarf on as well. Its like bro are you cold or not?

Back in the day when I was a young fella I put in a lot more effort. Nice black business jacket, matching scarf and gloves. These days…. Haha less so. Works lucky I put on pants that arnt trackies.

I think the difference is death. Ok not really. But in anything colder than this you’ve simply gotta treat it more seriously.

I know our cold tolerance is all different but maaaaan people watching is insane today. The battle between fashion and function. Cool guys who chucked on a vest and went “that’ll do” or insisted a cap is good enough over a beanie. The Middle aged professional looks great in her business gear, but I’m questioning pants that are basically 3 quarters in length cause she’s gotta be regretting the amount of skin exposed on her legs. Then sensible ones who layered up, people who tried to make the puffer jacket cool (largely successfully I must say) and then there is those of us who went “fuck it, warm is more important” and just threw something together. I don’t think my gloves are even the same colours, if anyone asks I’m just gonna say I can tell which is my left and which is my right.

Retreating to bed cause it’s fucking freezing. Fortunately got the electric blanket on in preparation so beds nice and warm at least. Reckon I’ll leave the electric towel rail on tonight too just so don’t freeze my junk off when I get up at 6am.

man I cant see a good reason why brands need to be on a social media platform of this size, that’s just my 2 cents.

Yes, I believe so. I CERTAINLY wouldnt use it personally. But its more a point to my security team: Either block it, or endorse a corporate solution. Till then im not *technically * doing anything wrong.

I have not had the same experience. I find they all rip in no time. The plastic ones lasted 10-15 uses. The paper ones are lucky to last 2.

If you change your password, but your password manager fails to capture it did you really even change your password? According to the system? Yes, you very much did.
A password manager that doesn’t capture a password is about as useful as an indicator on a BMW.

Fucking called it!!! Sit down for for dinner last night and the mrs goes “what we we doing this weekend?” “not much, why?” “Well, I got a message from (Couple I complained about yesterday) wondering if we…” “nope! heck no we’re not doing that. Whatever it is, its a no from me.” She stares at me a few seconds “Why?” “We talked about this last weekend babe, we are NOT getting pulled into this shit! the other day was exhausting, i need some space from them”
She goes on to admit the message was very strange and almost like we didn’t have a choice in the matter. I pointed out as adults we very much do have a choice. I so saw this coming, I may not have understood it but I was apprehensive enough to bring it up yesterday I must’ve had a 6th sense.

I’ll be honest I THINK I’d prefer the cat puke, but its a very small margin.

slipped on a wet floor and fell face first towards the hardwood dining table. my hand managed to catch the side of the table with about 10cm to spare before I smashed my forehead. Suspect with the speed it woulda at least knocked me out. Sad to report I neither saw the light nor had my life flash before my eyes.

yeah 100%. Got a full time job of being a dad. Can help others float but not at the risk of being pulled under with them.

i think I’m just gonna take some space from them tbh. The mental load of just being with them and seeing the struggle was a lot. Came home and joked with the mrs “I know we’ve got our hands full some times, but maaaan that really puts things in perspective”.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐻 Monday, July 01, 2024 1 day ago:
Honestly reckon they just need an adult to come in and go “Right, you do X, You do Y! No not tomorrow, right fucking now!” But good point on burning yourself to keep others warm. We’re managing ok where we are right now, but if we’re being honest having a toddler is tough some days! Rewarding, dont get me wrong! But tough. We’re all running our own race.

You’re doing the right thing by staying out of it, as hard as it may be.
Cheers, I think I was looking for that even if I didnt know it.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐻 Monday, July 01, 2024 1 day ago:
yeah I hope so. But I dont think theres a diplomatic way to say “Hey I see you guys are struggling, I think maybe applying X Y and Z might help a bit” without being sucked in.

Possibly, or its part of his development issue. its hard to tell. They keep saying they are seeking help with them, but ever time I ask they seem to be waiting for something.

She sort of expects you to get involved with their shit like bitching about him to you or whatever as if she expects you to fix it? And at first you kind of understand, we all do it to a lesser degree. But after the 8th time of hearing how horrible a situation is that has a really obvious (if uncomfortable) solution it gets tedious as fuck! Yes, life is hard sometimes, but if you never make an effort to fix things it wont get better. A great example is the dog. She’ll go “Oh the dog is so hard to manage” “have you taken him to training yet?” “No, not yet, I’ve just been sooo busy with X” Right… its been 2 years bro. At at certain point this is YOUR fault.
Agreed they need a support network, just dont think we can be it for them.

from what I understand getting her out of the house would be an achievement. But man I’d happily take the kids if it meant they could clean the house or something! I’m not one for judging, i’ve got a toddler I know its hard and our place is frequently a mess too. But theirs looks like the start of a hoarders episode. Trouble is their kid doesnt listen to them, so theres no chance I’m looking after a kid that cant/wont listen to me.
