Gotta love a Sunday!

I’d like to go to bed but my rear neighbours are having a party, the drunk singing / hollering is real loud. What ever happened to telling your neighbours you’re having a party in advance?
How is it nearly 1.30 already
I googled how to increase my blue tooth range and it said to put them closer together.
What do I want for breakfast. I do not know
I don’t know what I want, either. Let me know when you find out.
🍺
Breakfast wrap. Coffee.
No rain for another week… going to be doing a lot of watering again…
Gaza
Israel let aid through and then fired on the civilians
Fuck
It’s sickening. I just watched a documentary on SBS about US-Israel relations. It’s horrifying how so very few men have such power over the destiny and suffering of millions, and how utterly little they care about the lives of those millions. They sit in their lovely offices and have coffee and chats and decide to have war or peace, give aid or let people starve, put lines on maps and play handshakes in front of cameras.
Hide in their tunnels or luxury hotels safe from bombs while they stash billions in aid in swiss bank accounts
Grinding Subnautica today 🐟🐠🫧🐟🦀🐙🐬🦑🦈🪸🤿
I’ve tried to play that game so many times, but the deep sea scares me in ways I find difficult to verbalise.
Sometimes, I just skate across the top to the islands and scream because I don’t know what’s below me, and what if they’re all chasing me just under the surface.
What’s your favourite bits of the game? :)
Ha yes! It’s wild because I am an experienced diver IRL professional and recreational.
Thalassophobia has only stricken me on those rare occasions where you have really good visibility in daytime and floating over a coral shelf that drops off into the abyss. Into nothingness.
This game does an astonishing job of replicating that feeling. It’s uncanny. (The large screaming monster noises probably don’t help either lol)

yup, I found looking into the abyss terrifying
so why isn’t it terrifying to look up into sky? Why don’t I get the same terror when I’m flying? It’s odd
maybe the abyss is a different world and that’s why it’s scary
I tried too as well and I find it too scary for me :(
I’m ok with sailing, have gone on many long ferry rides and done yacht sailing and I’m ok with the ocean . I suppose I’m on the border between the water and the dry world, I’m in floating world, which is a different place
It’s more the fact that you get attacked and it feels scary under the sea and when you go looking for materials in caverns.
I know there are bigger monsters and fishies later in the game and if the start of the game terrifies me I don’t think I’m going to make it anywhere near the later stages of the game.
I’m talking about real life experience!!
Have you gotten as far as getting a PRAWN suit? They aren’t quite invincible, but they can take a hit from anything in the game. One PRAWN suit and a repair tool, and you can face anything in the ocean. You can kill just about anything in the ocean, for that matter. Though the game does nothing to encourage or reward that.
I have, even made a cyclops and went down to the lava area? It’s been a while since I played, before Sub Zero came out. But I just hate large organic masses looming out of the dark, watery depths. Lights up a primal fear where climbing a tree seems like a great idea hahah
I tend to watch other people play instead, same with horror games. The only horror games I’ve been able to play through are the short indie ones by David Szymanski 😅
Yeah the ocean is terrifying. Blue holes.
The days seem to be flying by so fast. Does anyone else remember that old ad of Jimeoin repeatedly sliding past the camera in his jocks yelling “Monday!” “Tuesday!” …?
I read somewhere that as you age, each day seems shorter because subconsciously you compare it to all the time that’s already passed. To a 30 year old, a day probably feels like what 4 hours feels like to a 15 year old.
I hope that makes sense.
Yep. See the Stephen King short story “My Pretty Pony”.
You have reminded me of it. My best metal picture of him involves the escalator walk behind a bench.
Not quite sure what these birds are, cockatiel?, but there are 5 of them in my yard and they are astonishingly noisy!
The way they’re catching the light makes them look like angels
Corellas? Both long beak ones and short beak ones can be seen in Melbourne. Hard to see their eyes in the photo - corellas have really weird eyes imo.
I think you are right. Possibly the Little sort. These guys have a crest to go with their yell.
Just finished season two of The Bear…wow that was some good television.
I made plunger coffee today. Sorry I french pressed the coffee today. I haven’t done this since maybe last century and it worked first go. I will be drinking coffee all day and be thinking about a nice coffee cosy to make.
Once you get it right and learn how much to use you’ll find out how wonderful it is.
It’s a little bit more grounded and intense I find via a plunger but it does taste quite nice like that.
Hope you enjoy!
Oh I am enjoying. Thank you.
Apple Music has a ‘Music of Mardi Gras’ playlist today. Very sad to not see NWA’s Fuck Tha Police on there.
A band on Sydney road just played Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine and let me tell you, the street was chanting it lol. They should add that to the Mardi Gras playlist lol
I’m currently in preserving mode. Yesterday I bottled some potatoes and put some zucchini in the dehydrator. This morning I ground the dried zucchini to make flour and cut a load of tomatoes to dry. I plan to do some zucchini pickles today (and maybe marinated capsicums) and have plans in the next few days to smoke some chillis and start on jam making.
Zucchini flour? That sounds tasty. How does it perform as a flour?
I’ve only started using it recently, but it is supposed to be able to be exchanged for normal flour in most recipes. It should be particularly good for adding to baking like scones or cakes where you want more moisture, but you would not want much in bread as it does not have gluten. Also good for things like thickening stews.
Yum.
Dad turned up with a new kitchen gadget for me. A new, cripple proof kettle that I don’t even have to lift to use.
I don’t need it - I have two perfectly good, fairly new kettles already, the second of which I initially bought specifically because my parents argued my first (basic stovetop) kettle wasn’t safe for someone with my balance to use. I haven’t asked for it. It solves a problem that for me at least fundamentally doesn’t matter/doesn’t exist.
But I have a new kettle nevertheless. And he’s stashed both my old ones on a high shelf I can’t reach, because it’s the only cupboard or shelf space my kitchen has left, so I can’t even change it back.
It’s a good kettle, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t quite know why he decided to get it for me.
Maybe someone else recommended it, and he acted on that recommendation. Which is fine as far as it goes. I figure it’s a bit rude to just show up with it and re-configure your pre-existing quite satisfactory arrangements though.
because he cares for you
I’ve got one of those… it’s good for those with different needs/uses but for me it’s annoying af
Is it safe for you to use a stepladder? If so perhaps keep it stashed out of sight (so they don’t decide you can’t use it). Or a friend could pull the kettle you want down and you can keep it hidden on a low shelf.
Thought I was going to try Jack fruit tonight. Turns out this tin is less than 10%. A exercise in reading labels better. 😾
