    I feel like lately it’s been hotter than it ever got through the middle of summer. I don’t like it. Feeling for the people who don’t have power

      Sleeping when it’s hot is so uncomfortable, feel sorry for those without aircon. But I’m the opposite, I think we’ve actually had a fairly moderate Summer overall. I remember the drought years when it was normal to get a run of 35+ for a few days in a row, and at least several 40+ days through Jan and Feb. This year we have had none.

        I meant now is hotter than it ever got through the middle of this particular summer! You’re right, it has definitely been milder than past ones which might be why I’m really feeling it now. I’ve been pretty grateful not to have had those days of heatwaves.

    Someone one the cptsd meme sub said this

    It’s like “which layer of trauma are you talking about?” and then my whole life story comes apart like an onion

    And I have never related to a sentence so hard

    Uhhhh there’s an uber eats looking bag at my door for some dude called david, nobody called david lives here (and as far as I can tell, never has). No receipt on the outside of the bag and it’s stapled and taped shut. Does this count as mail? Am I going to jail if I open it? I don’t even know how long it’s been there, I didn’t hear anybody come up the stairs

    Edit: I decided to open it to see if there was a receipt or a restaurant name or something, it’s literally a white paper bag that says “KEBAB” in a brown paper bag. No shop name, doesn’t even say if it’s uber eats or door dash or whatever.

        Oo never been visited by the kebab fairy before! Although I’m not sure how much I trust a fairy to make a good kebab. It’s a well known fact that the best kebabs come from a bloke covered head to toe in hair with a thick Lebanese accent who calls you friend at least twice per sentence and says he’s doing you a good deal. of course, for this to be true he also needs to be working out of a very small food truck parked in front of the dodgiest servo in the dodgiest part of town

          It’s also 2am, you are far from sober, and utterly convinced that ordering in a made up accent gets you a bigger kebab. Uni was fun.

          Yeah, I have no clue how long it’s been put there. Could’ve been up to 3 hours. Though it was wrapped in foil so I’m sure I’d be fine if I ate it

    Very proud Dad moment: My kid’s daycare has a little kiddy pool with colour ball pit balls in them. I’ve been so excited for him to be old enough to go in it. After 6-ish months proud to report he is. And he was DELIGHTED, the excitement on his face was unreal. So happy for him.

      I’ve just put a half rack of USA bbq pork ribs in the oven. In 2 hours it’s going to be fall-off-the-bone succulent rib time!

          It’s my first time! I bought them pre-marinaded from the market so all I’ve done is whack them on some baking paper in a baking pan, covered it with foil and put it in the oven @ 145 degrees for 2 hours. Almost an hour in and my apartment is starting to smell pretty nice.

            May I recommend bourbon & cola next time? It’s delicious and proves the point about highway patrol cleaning road accidents with coke.

    Power was out for 7 days - ausnet can’t even get their website working to put in a claim. Some people still have their power out, running a generator costs a fortune (despite having it off overnight)

    Adulthood is bullshit I used to sleep 6 hours a night and wake up feeling refreshed

      I remember I used to go to bed after being extremely drunk/high and get up to go to work the next day with no issue.

      Those days are loooong gone now.

    I saw the movie Poor Things. Dark fantastical comedy/social commentary done very well. Kooky aetherics, excellent costumes and brilliant acting from Emma Stone.

    Have ouchy finger. Tripped and fell a few days ago and took a large chunk of skin and nail off my middle finger (why is it always that finger?). I was crossing the road where I shouldn’t have been and tripped over a stupid manhole thing in the middle of the road and I am an idiot 😔.

    🤔

    I’ve just discovered that when I turn the lounge room light on, the TV (FTA) starts getting interference and glitching out

    Now I’m super curious to know why

          Flourescent light? The driver may be going. Bet the ant cable runs near the light power

            Yeah it is a fluro, and probably. The light switch is on the other side of the room from where the aerial comes in though. But this is an old house, literally everything is an after thought. Wouldn’t surprise me if they intertwined the bloody aerial and electric cabling
