I see all your kitchen drawers and I’ll raise you a cutlery shelf
Nope. Next.
Show me your drawers people. I’ll rate them.
I will add, if it works for you that’s all that matters.
I watched a video on this modern pc that runs Windows 98, but it’s like 500 Euros.
Then I looked up how to install windows 98 on an old thinclient. But it’s complicated and you could lose Bluetooth, WiFi, and USB ports.
If you want a computer for authentic retro gaming you could put WINE on a cheap thin client since WINE runs old programs better than windows
Ah man, I think I need to stop commenting on anything divisive on the internet.
I’ll post something that’s intended to be a fun fact or a conversational tidbit (or a smartarse little joke to get a laugh) and someone will take it really seriously. Like they think it’s a political endorsement or a personal challenge or something.
It isn’t. I don’t want the stress man. I’m mostly just interested in hanging out and chiming in with something vaguely related to the topic
Ditto
I find it much worse on Reddit, but even here there’s a fair few people who like to be intentionally obtuse
I get so excited to share a cool fact or off the cuff joke that I don’t realise how it comes across
I won gin rummy. 5 to 2. Second complementary cuppa in the morning coming to me.
yesss
I know 👏 👏 👏
Flexing chaotic kitchen draws…
Ok. I hate this. Knives. Forks. Spoons.Where are the soup spoons you animal?
Also very envious of the space you have.
I see your perforated ladle (far left of bottom drawer) and raise you a pair of herb scissors (surprisingly useful and a bit of a fave). Now if I can only find them under everything else …
Apparently new meds mean Lifeblood can no longer take my blood. Oh well. Still got a honeycomb Nippys.
You gave it your best shot. Thank you.
Half an hour’s airing on the balcony with a cup of mint tea.
I’m going back to bed
Bought a nice birthday card, spoiled it with my crap writing. Ugh.
Don’t know if anyone else has that problem, but if I don’t write regularly my hand writing goes downhill and I can’t seem to write half decently unless I’m seated.
People who have effortlessly beautiful handwriting give me so much envy.
In combination with bad hand writing, I feel like my messages never live up to other people’s expectations.
Computers and smartphones have ruined my handwriting. Scribbling hand written notes while working doesn’t really count in keeping up my penmanship. I do know the pens to use to make my writing look somewhat OK.
Rule lines to write on
get a nice pen
plan what you want to write
practice before you do the final copy
( my everyday writing is absolute shit but I can do nice writing if I put some effort in )
effortlessly beautiful handwriting
Gramps always used to say “good handwriting is a dunces accomplishment”. He was a doc so checked out.
The quality of my handwriting is entirely dependent on what I’m using to write with. A bold pen, chalk, dark grey lead pencil or wedge tip texta: great. Fine point biros and my writing looks terrible.
I hate my handwriting
Absolute same on lack of practice. And I used to have envious handwriting.
To add to this, who else can’t make their signature repeatable anymore? Signing for things is such a nuisance when it’s actually checked.
If my signature is written correctly it’s a sure sign of a forgery.
Cheers hot bods 🍺
Ps. I did the best I could. Not happy with my Asian utensils being with my beaters, it’ll do for now but there will be more evictions.
spoiler
Drinks started three hours ago?? Why didn’t anybody tell me 🍻🍻🍻
Catch up. Cheers 🍺

I have kitchen drawer envy right now.
Hahaha. I was too embarrassed to do a before pic.
Impressed. Mine take up at least 2 drawers, and the least use stuff in a separate box in a cupboard.
Oh there’s still a small box of shit to go through. I gave up. Tossed it in the box for another time.
5090 GPUs almost here… New gaming rig time?
Have been talking to the bank. I threw up.
Don’t give up. We bought a shit house in a shit house suburb while working shit house jobs with shit house pay driving shit house cars but it’s our shit house and we will grow old together giving each other shit. Hopefully soon you will have that and not have to put up with shit house landlords. Best wishes.
It’s ok. You got this! Fingers crossed for you. When all of it is over you’ll be able to settle in and make the place your own.
yeahhhh you know those home loan adds where the 20 something guy carries his laughing girlfriend through the door? Its NOTHING like that. Least it wasnt for us. We got in the door, basically collapsed on the ground and went “Right, that was fucked and this is a dump so lets at least get rid of these god awful curtains!”
Bank dicks you at every turn as well.
but then you pull up some shitty carpet, or get solar installed, or drill a hole for mounting shelves and it’s fucking wild
Looking forward to that bit. Won’t be able to afford much for a bit but there will absolutely be a ceremonial nail bashed into a wall.
Living in it when its a bit shit is actually great though! Your better off that way cause you get to explore your ideas a bit more. Nothing worse than spending all this money fixing stuff before you move in, then you get in there and it doesnt work as well as you hoped it might.
Ceremonial putting up of at least one shelf, or a single picture if you want the Clayton’s option.
20k and 100 trips to bunnings later! But yeah your right.
we literally have a bunnings less than 2k from us. 15 mins walk. Less by bike. Even less by car. It’s awesomely dangerous.
🙂 a home, a real home
I’ve got a distain for bank ads. There was one a little awhile ago with some guy singing totally mangling up a song by wedging in more words than a melody could provide but how tonedeaf to be singing about money when we’re struggling so badly.
Sounds about right 😺
it will be ok
keep your goals in mind
resist sales pressure, do not agree to anything extra on the spot, say you will discuss it at home
growls at VLC I have 5.1 speakers, my system is configured for 5.1, I’ve configured you to run in 5.1, why are you dropping entire channels you gurning hemorrhoid
You leave vlc alone.
It tasks me. It tasks me and I shall have it!
My aunt and uncle (mostly my cantankerous uncle) have spent the whole morning trying to get Foxtel support on the phone to help with their blurry signal. The whole thing is just pure distilled boomer
All I’ll say is if you run a Bluesky account for an entomological society and your posts aren’t 90% awesome macro shots of cool insects then you are very much doing it wrong.
