Well done Windies 🏏 Well done Sinner 🎾 🇮🇹
I watched the whole of BBC War and Peace. Cried the whole way thru.
It made me feel life was both beautiful and pointless.

I’ve been using Amazon for years, never had an issue, but the delivery that was due last Thursday got delayed until today, but still no sign of it and the ‘onboard for delivery’ status hasn’t changed since Thursday afternoon. Amazon sent a text apologising for the delay and if I don’t receive it today I can claim a refund tomorrow.
If I do get a refund but then the delivery miraculously turns up, do I get to keep it for free? Like I say, never had this issue before.
Yes
You probably could as the delivery was beyond their acceptable timeframe … they’re the ones saying you can claim, no backsies.
Oh no. The VPN is stuffed. What a tragedy.
Enthroned, I wear this crown of pain,
Nightmares filled my head again.
Grind my teeth to mask the fear,
All my demons dance and jeer.Cloaked in stars, I shine so bright,
But I cannot see my own light.
Close my eyes and breathe in deep,
And feel the stars begin to weep.All my demons dance and jeer,
Grind my teeth to mask the fear.
Nightmares filled my head again,
Enthroned, I wear this crown of pain.I drank half a bottle of orange juice and smashed a bunch of dried apricots and pears. Had issues in the toilet of the explosive nature, but I still feel the rumblings within.
Pray for me
That would be the sulfurous preservatives. The bowels of Hell are about to open in your bathroom
(plus the sorbitol in the apricots and pears)
Ah ha! Now I know which chemicals are to blame for my problèmes de toilettes.
Damn them, why are they so delicious 😭
Sinfully good
For your next trick, a whole bag of sugar free gummy bears.
Pretty sure that would be lethal. If not to you anyone in the near vicinity.
They call it the A-Bomb for a reason
This just gave me war flashbacks to the time I ate half a bag of dried apricots in the middle of a work day completely unaware of what they will ruthlessly do to your digestive tract.
Hire car returned, new car purchased and rego transferred.
I’m beat! Car drives like a dream though.Congrats mate.
Thanks!
what did you get?
Volvo XC70 wagon. :)
Oh nice, my neighbors have volvos and bloody love them! So much so they brought the exact same car in a different colour.
My mechanic is so good I changed cars for him (albeit when that one was written off). Definitely sticking with Volvos at least until they retire - hopefully won’t be for a while!
Whoo congrats on the new car!
To the downvoter who downvotes this thread every day, you make laugh. 😂
Back from interstate yesterday. Attended a lovely wedding Saturday night and kiddo had an awesome time with his nana and uncle. Flight was amazing too, to my great surprise. But my god flying with a baby even one who is being chill is a whole lot more work than I expected.
My sister and her husband are currently overseas with their 5 month old and omg listening to what they had to prepare for the travel was exhausting to listen too. Never realised before just how much you have to plan when flying with a baby.
Survived my first day back at work today but some good and bad to come out of it.
Someone on “team” resigned so some of those duties are going to fall on my shoulders and I’m not sure if it’s possible to get work of that nature accomplished in my work environment which is very open plan.
Second thing that’s been asked of me is to work off site twice a week which means making multiple trips during the week to do that and it’s only for an hour offsite which irks me more since I can’t begin or end the day there which would make it much better to stomach.
Guess I may have no choice in either, point 1 I’ll bring up that I can only do what I can do given my workload and concentration needed.
Point 2 I’m not sure how I can negotiate that or come up with some sort of compromise.
I’m absolutely hopeless with negotiations but it certainly sounds like you deserve some compensation for all this extra work.
It’s still up for discussion at the moment depending on what the time table looks like but I may only have to do 1 day now offsite and I’ll be afforded some extra liberties as well such as taking my time and running some small personal errands if I’m out and don’t have to travel too far.
Will see how it goes after the first couple of weeks.
Has anyone here gone down the cbd oil route as an anxiety/mood stabiliser?
I take Tassie botanics cbd100 to sleep, but I have heard oils can help with anxiety too. At least, it helps my partners anxiety.
As an aside, I have heard not so great things about many clinics so do your research. I have found medicann (not ‘medcann’) based on perth to be great. Dr David Turton is amazing, such an empathetic and lovely man. You can also check out oil products on cannareviewsau.co, you’ll need to make an account but they have never spammed me.
Good luck!
CBD had no effect on by body or mind at all.
I had a mate who was prescribed it as a trial. It was amazing for a few months but then they got accustomed and the anxiety got worse until they stopped it. Apparently that’s a rare side effect ( to end up with worse anxiety). They were great on it while it lasted though
Omg today has been an amazing day for my PhD research. I am in the process of organising all my data from the archive trips last year and really analysing it. Long story short, without doxxing my topic, I think, as of today, I have enough data to prove my research question with very little shadow of a doubt!
wonderful 😸
Yayyyy, congrats!!
The really important question is - has your wonderful floofy cat forgiven you for your extended absence? Pix please!
Yes, he has become very clingy, though. This was yesterday in the study.
That must be so satisfying! Congratulations! ✨
These sc(p)am messages are getting real annoying
The worst thing about them is that they use the Commbank contact info. I’ve seen a few mixed in with legit ones on my phone.
Exactly! The first time I got it I was in the city and close to a CommBank store so I went in and asked what’s going on. The lady said yeah we know about it and we’re trying to fix this 🤷♂️
I just realised that the other day when I cooked party pies and sausage rolls that I’m pretty sure I accidentally used the grill function of instead of the oven function and they actually turned out really great. I’m going to try again now for lunch, for science.
Science results: SUCCESS! The grill officially heats party pies and sausage rolls better than the oven.
Someone yesterday kindly informed me that the really good daily thread had moved here so here I am! Hi everyone. In other news for the fourth day in a row, I don’t think I will be able to leave my study or house. Way to many PhD things to do right now.
G’day!
Hello!! It’s a bit more of an echo chamber here and there’s not much activity on the sub itself but lots more of the friendly daily rambling vibe on the old DT. Great to see you here. Good luck with getting through the current research hole! I hope you’re all stocked up on food and drinks.
was too many bad snacks stocked up but hey thinking burns calories right?
Absolutely, the noggin needs fuel as well as dopamine!
Hey, you made it! Welcome to the friendly thread!
I was gonna reply something like this about your blinds based phd but you’re here now so here it is:
Your comment has got me thinking way to much about the history of Venetian blinds and I do feel there is a procrastination research rabbit hole in the near future for me.
It would be a nice up the sleeve bit of knowledge for the next time some nub like me makes another blinds joke about your phd.
So, the rabbit hole was achieved. Turns out Venetian blinds, like so many Venetian ‘inventions’, were invented elsewhere but perfected and mass distributed in Venice. In the case of the blinds, Venetian merchants found them in Persia and took the design back to Venice. Due to its large maritime trade and fabrication capabilities, they were able to ship the design around the world, where it became especially popular in the early USA. It is actually really common for this to happen in Venice because of the maritime trade; they travelled to parts of the world other Europeans hadn’t. In Venetian history, it is really common to find an idea in other parts of the world and then take the idea back to Venice, where it was changed into a more producible item and sold all over the world through their huge trade output. This is actually how many popular European foods entered into general usage throughout Italy and Europe. The Venetians perfected taking small ideas from around the world and perfecting and, more importantly, commercialising them; Venetian blinds are another example of that. Sorry for the rant, I love Venetian history (obviously).
Wow, thanks for that. When I win a trillion dollars in the international lottery I’d like to be your research patron. That might be one of the most amazing replies I’ve had on social media.
How are your comedy adventures with alllll of the cats and Pomeranian going?!
It is about as disastrous and hilarious as you would imagine. Four is too many animals for one person, especially when they all want love and attention.
I still remember some of your photos from when you were abroad and envy the view you had while you were there looking out from the windows.
Good to see you here!
So I’m putting my toys together and the little dog doesn’t like electronics so he jumps on the kid, who of course is on her phone, to get away. Then I hear “oh my god dude. You just wiped your dick across my screen”. 😂 I couldn’t tell her off because I was laughing 😂
lol
