grateful for frozen leftovers , tonight it’s chicken red curry with rice
Next time you roast a chook can you make it look like this please
That is genuinely disturbing
omg, 🤣
I will never look at chicken the same ever again.
Are you a breast or thigh man?
I’m all in on thighs.
Absolutely hate the dark and the cold just sucks the energy right out of you. Can’t help but wonder how folks in the far north in the artic deal with it where some days the sun barely rises.
Miss Seagoon spent some time living on the Arctic Circle. She kept to a clock timetable, kept busy and enjoyed the auroras.
Have you considered high dose Vit D and a blue light lamp used at times the sun would be shining? Could be a spot of SAD
I wouldn’t say I’m sad, just don’t have the same energy levels. Still… probably wouldn’t hurt to look into vitamin D.
Oh sorry - it’s an acronym https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder
where the lack of sunlight and circadian rhythm stuff messes with your mood, including low energy
fairy lights, lights, and a whole lot more lights
I use a few 5m rolls of 12v 5050 warm led tape. They’re about $5 a roll on aliexpress. Really add a lot of diffused light to a room. I originally got them for bush doof lighting, but I think doofs have had their time and/or are too expensive.
I actually have polytechnic lights etc.
I love fairy lights, I have them out the front and on the terrace, they brighten up the grey city
Sunset in northern Europe (London etc) during their winter solstice is like 4pm. Now that’s depressing for living in a major city, don’t think I could handle that.
I winter the European cities are all decorated for Christmas which is really nice.
It’s my birthday, and I’m going to the dentist. Boo. On the plus side, I’m taking today off so will go op shopping afterwards.
Happy birfday! Hope you snag some nice items.
Happy Birthday! 🎂🍭🍬🍫🍰🍨🍯🍪🥤🍷

Pretty sure I haven’t fallen back to sleep since 1.30 🙃
Hi everyone - thank you again for all your good wishes. This means a lot to me.
Home again after a marathon opshoppery - haul includes: two (two!) gucci sweaters in my size, one black one blue. Some tailored winter wool trousers in black. All in good nick. Am sorted this winter and probably next. A rather beautiful carnival glass ashtray which I will use as a housekeys dumpspot. Some nice costume jewellery - a brass chain necklace of thin ceramic plaques hand painted with autumn leaves, a brooch made from a small turtle shell (sans turtle) with I think gold fittings and a couple of rock crystal necklaces that I am going to repurpose at some point in the future. I do like Reservoir for opshoppery, and Essendon is stupendous - I had no idea the opshops were so good there. Definitely worth a trip out to that part of town. Fitzroy & Collingwood and Thornbury were all a bit disappointing.Nice find! Very jelly of the sweaters and trousers.
Fitzroy through to even Preston these days has gentrified to the point that the op shops aren’t worth it. Essendon is much more of a hidden gem that way, hipsters never think of it! Reservoir is still scungey enough but I think it’s basically the next Preston
All too true. The hipster-proof fence that used to run along Bell St has well and truly vanished now.
Coburg North most definitely has been breached and I think Pascoe Vale has too. The M80 is the new fence… based on the style and pattern of the developments in the suburbs beyond though, I would be very surprised if the hipsters (in itself an outdated term now, again…) made it there. Much more car dependent and fewer mixed use/retail spaces compared to the postwar areas.
@just_kitten @Thornburywitch Many of the OG hipsters have moved west to Footscray and Yarraville.
Or they decamped during the pandemic, and migrated to one of the towns around Castlemaine or Belgrave.
There’s also a steady cross-border migration to Newtown and Marrickville in Sydney.
@just_kitten where are the hipster places in coburg or coburg north? true north? cedar fox?
hugs That is an awesome haul. 😊
Nope, still don’t want to get out of bed despite falling asleep on time.
Winters suuuuuck. I’m so glad I only need to get up early twice a week
It’s party time today. 🎉 I’ll bring chocolate crackles. What are you bringing?
Baclava!
I’m making millionaire bars. and anzac biscuits. I suppose I could bring some :P
Ooooo. Yes please!
Fairy bread!!!
Little cheese cake squares and a giant bag of cheezles
I will make a gluten free lemon slice. I made a small batch a few years ago specifically for someone who didn’t eat gluten, but everybody else loved it, so that’s my niche now
mini sausage rolls and sauce, home made
Thank goodness for incompetent pickpockets. Grrr!
Story time
Not much to tell. Bloke tried to go my handbag near Savers, fumbled it, then bolted too quick for me to thump him.
That would have me realing for days
I’d be a wreck if it had worked. The resultant paperwork and telephone calls would be overwhelming.
Another reason not to leave the house… yikes.
Love it when the fix for a PC issue is “go to the BIOS”, when the issue is the PC won’t even load to the point that BIOS is an option. Partner’s 10 year old PC is basically dead (thinks it needs to load from a USB, when it doesn’t and never has), so mine is now The Family Computer.
Which is fine for now, I’m addicted to Slice’n’Dice on my phone anyway lol
I installed a new HD about 18 months ago, and am using the old one as storage. On the weekend, the boot sequence changed somehow from my new SDD to my old one and my PC wouldn’t boot. I changed the boot sequence in BIOS to start with the new HD, and still nothing. I gave up and was ready to boot from a windows disk. Problem was, I only have two power cables, and both were being used by the hard drives. So I unplugged the old one to plug into the CD drive.
Reboot and the PC booted using thew HD. I have no idea why the boot protocol changed and why it wouldn’t let me prioritise the new HD.
Ain’t touching it again.
You could roll with that and load it from a Linux usb? That might at least let you grab any files off it
Someone here probably knows the process better
I always had issues booting off of an Ubuntu USB with persistent storage. The USBs kept getting so hot they died. At least I assume they died, within a couple of weeks I’d start encountering random errors nobody else ever seems to have had that nobody could help fix. But I have only tried Ubuntu and it works for long enough I’ve been able to do whatever I need to do
Ugh I’m having computer issues too. Although it’s more GPU drama for me
You can usually find a good deal on Ozbargin for some second hand business gear. My laptop cost me 300 bucks and honestly its a gem of a machine to use. Something like thiswould be a huge upgrade over a 10 year old machine.
Even first-hand! My current laptop is a beast that I guess got rejected from a big tech company (still had their name on the shipping label underneath). Brand new and more than 50% off RRP. Only downside is it’s polycarbonate and I’m use to fancy metal but I had to snap it up.
Without fail, everytime I’ve got an appointment for a haircut, it’s cold and raining. Sorry everyone 💈
The fact that you have appointments for haircuts tells me you patronise a higher class of barber than I. I just walk in.
laughs in self trims
It’s the one thing I splurge. Fade and a beard trim. I’m too embarrassed to say the price but it does look awesome.
Finished the day early. Too tired 😴 could stay and click buttons but I’d be so slow and make mistakes better to go home and rest
Where are these magic sounding noodles from? I feel like I’ve been meaning to try boat noodles for so long, but never really spot them on a menu. I’ve even been to Soi38 and managed to miss them!
Has anyone here had experience bringing a bunch of Facebook pages under the one Business Account? I’m working with a business that’s trying to sort out all the pages for their sub-brands, but some just aren’t moving across. If I can get this sorted for them I might be able to pick up some extra work with them further down the line.
I’d ask somewhere else but I can’t find the right place on Lemmy to ask
I know it’s cold, I know there are germs out there but I am stir crazy and need a walk. Will wear a coat and mask.
Finally starting to feel a bit better - still coughing up a lung, but my sinuses feel clearer. Some energy today, but I notice it runs out - got to be careful to not overdo it.
The day I don’t spill a bit of my coffee on the floor is the day I have died.
I am the Supreme Ruler and Queen of Unco and Mysterious Bruises.
I would be Princess Royal in this family
That would make me the Crown Princess?
Mysterious Bruises
hehe that reminds of my early raver days.
wake up inspecting the damage… “hey I didn’t do that wot happened there”.
I too would be in this family. Perhaps Grand Empress of Doorknobs
