Very tempted to sell some of my stoncks, and buy a 2 bedroom older walk up unit. Still have room for the CGT taxable part of the sale to go into First home super, and it’s de-risking in case of a crash.
There’s a tonne of them coming up for sale right now, and the mortgage + strata payments work out to be around the same as the rent.
What price range are you looking at?
Under $500K. Ideally under $450K.
the mornings and evenings in autumn are so full of bird song
Switching to an Aussie name worked. I’m getting a lot of callbacks and interviews being scheduled.
It is what it is I guess.
Well done Darren
Shouldn’t that end in -azza?
Too ‘on the nose’. Gotta be subtle and shit
Fair enough. I’ve been accused of speaking BBC standard… dude I was raised by the Goodies and Are you Being Served
The Vicar’s daughter, she was there
She had us all in fits

And landing on … a plate of baked beans!
My brain can’t right now. It’s trying to do both Lilly the Pink and something about zoo animals with a circular/shifting rhyme

Good morning, Mr Patel. I see from your application that you prefer to be called Pazza …
I stupidly ordered nestle hot choc sachets from Amazon without checking the ingredients. Corn syrup dammit. Had the nestle hot choc sachets at a training centre in the city and could only find them on Amazon. Clearly not the same though.
That is disappointing. I have them supplied at work, so if you want lots of them you could try an office supply store.
Oooh thank you infinitely much. They make my office days much nicer.
Reminds me, I bought some Milo mocha sachets the other day thinking they’d be nice but they really suck. I can’t taste either the Milo or the coffee, I can only really taste the sugar. Which is understandable, because on top of all the sugar in Milo, they put even more sugar into the sachet. There’s something like 0.5g of coffee in it (not caffeine), which doesn’t seem like a lot
Milo needs to be half the cup these days, or it has no taste. Thank you for the review, won’t bother trying them.
Yep. I got really excited when I saw them and bought 2 boxes, so I might try doubling up and seeing if that helps. But then there’ll probably be more sugar than in a can of coke
“You hear a lot of talk about the cartels in Mexico, but the truth is that the beaches are safe and all the surfers are safe, you just have to be alert, just as you would in any other city in the world,” said Otanez, whose group took part in a “paddle out” vigil for the three slain men over the weekend."
Um no this particular area is not safe. Not even according to locals. To think otherwise is simply delusional. And this plays out statistically as well.
“In 2021, Baja California had the second highest number of homicides in Mexico, accounting for nearly one out of 10 homicides nationwide.”
It’s really irresponsible to encourage travel to the area.
Someone fucked around and found out. It’s a tragedy, but completely avoidable by not travelling to areas known for violent cartel activity.
I’ve previously looked into traveling to Tijuana, which is in the Baja California region. You’d think a big city right on the border of the US is safe but most reddit posts on the issue were saying don’t stay in the city after dark, travel to tourist areas only, so many precautions to take. Alert to the potential of violent crime is probably where I draw the line on travelling somewhere. If the likely worst thing that’s going to happen to me is being pickpocketed or my phone snatched out of my hand by a passing motorbike, I can deal with that.
80 mins until my alarm. Do I try to go back to sleep or just give up and get up?

Project day today! My nerdy electronics from that dodgy place that doesn’t do refunds for mixing deliveries arrived today. Finally got around to fixing the boot errors windows was having. It seems it decided to do an update I never asked for and screwed up its boot file. I had to download the 6gb iso and flash it onto a hard drive to get a working command prompt, but it rebuilt the file no worries
Man, this original X-Men cartoon from the 90’s is seriously not for kids. Glad they’ve added new episodes this year but yeah it’s pretty intense.
I watched and loved it as a kid when it was released. Very happy to get more of it now with X-Men 97.
Thank you all for the support yesterday. Reading your messages helped me feel so much better.
Yesterday one of my friends drove half an hour to go for a walk with me (which is more than bar guy would’ve ever done). Then we went to the shops and tried on clothes. Afterwards, we met up with a mutual friend and her friends. The friends were so nice. They gave me really nice hugs, made me punch pillows, talked to me empathetically, bought me KFC because I hadn’t eaten all day, and then we drove to the beach. This experience has shown me that I can do so much better, as someone who hasn’t had a good time socially.
Not getting closure in person and feeling the loss absolutely sucks. It’s going to be sad for a bit. He didn’t even fight for me! I had guys who I’d only been on a few dates with wanting to talk it out and try to problem solve. I should’ve left months ago at my first sign of doubt. But there’s nothing I can do now. Now I know that I need to listen to what my body is telling me, because maybe it isn’t all that shit. I shouldn’t have to cry 30+ times just in a month because that is not normal (yep I have a crying tally whoops).
I also feel fucking relieved. Good riddance. I don’t have to beg for someone to show up for me anymore.
I think I will do one week self care and self organising, then next week doing some stuff around the house and garden. 😊👍
Today begun explosively sneezing blood. Yay……
Oh good it’s not just me wondering what smells like bloody sinuses.
It sure ain’t. And I need to scrub the door. Later. Next week. Probably.
reminds me of the time I washed a load of towels, flapped one out to straighten the fibres and the fucking thing snapped back, hit my nose and I bled.
all over the freshly washed towels.
so you know that “add extra member” option on Netflix to add someone outside your houselhold…when you add them (and pay, and provide their email etc), do they log in via their email and my password? or do they get a login request email where they log in with their email, and then get asked to set a password…? asking for a very tech illierate sister in law living in another state…(as in not really able to forward any email on to me) - can’t find this on the website
We did this for my mother in law who previously used our account. They receive an email asking them to set their own password and then log in with their own credentials, you never need to share yours.
Cool. Thanks I’ll let them know.
I was looking at pasta recipes with pineapple and apparently it is a thing. It’s called Hawaiian pasta. Everything that’s on a Hawaiian pizza is in the pasta. Genius.

Please say you are familiar with the mighty Swineapple
No I’m not. Do tell!
Variants exist, but basically obtain and peel whole fresh pineapple. Core it. Stuff with pork fillet. Wrap entire thing in bacon. BBQ and/or smoke. Food coma.
Oh my lawd. 10/10 would eat entire thing
Perhaps Chef Bacon can turn you into one
I just gotta do this for next christmas with fam. The screams will be heard across the border. Might roll the pork fillets in hawt sauce before stuffing though, for extra shits & giggles.
Yesss!
Oh wow! That with some roast spuds. Sensational
That looks incredible, not gonna lie.
It does! I’m gonna tweak it a bit though.
The German TV show “Dark” featured a (nostalgic?) dish called Toast Hawaii. I think it’s just ham and cheese on toast plus a pineapple ring.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_Hawaii
Now that I check, Wikipedia says it also had a cherry on top. Wild.
Hahaha. I think I need to do this. Thanks.
I love that show!
Movie review. Knight of Cups with Christian Bale.
This movie is so beautiful nearly made me cry.
