    I had two really vivid dreams bathed in nostalgia and lovely warm vibes… The first I barely remember, except it had a very Harry Potter vibe and an incredibly rich and complex world with all kinds of back stories and secrets. Something about monsters and mazes. I briefly woke up wanting to go back to that world but ran out of plot. The second started out stressful because it was about middle school exams, but turned into this beautiful celebration with classmates with the school all lit up at night and people being lovely to each other. Ahh… 😌

    …and now to GET UP AND FACE THE DAY!!! I am going to WALK to the other side of the suburb for a coffee and come back and then start looking at uni things!!!

    This is so scummy and sounds exploitative as fuck. “Doing tenants and landlords a favour”. Not to mention ‘installing guardians’ as if the people are only put there to serve the property… (Which probably is the priority.)

    It looks livable I guess… but sounds like substandard housing with extra steps. Namely inserting themselves for the purpose of taking two payments on a property they don’t even own. This isn’t brilliant business, it’s preying on a housing crisis to pull slumlord shit.

    (Yes, I know this article is old and UK based. I’m looking at various ways of managing housing shortages.)

    Cleaned up and threw out all the vape shit. Chest still sore from that disposable one I bought today.

    Hopefully everything’s back to normal tomorrow 🤞🏾

        yes, all habits are sets of behaviours, keep some of the behaviours and it will be easier

        like having decaf or milo instead of coffee after 1 pm 🫠

    Was my night for the weird dreams - can’t remember the details of the first but there was some sort of seminar or similar being run or at least facilitated by the estate agent who sold the house. Mum was in it as well and I think surprised herself and everyone else by how well she was doing.
    Second one I do remember was there was some sort of queue at what looked like the op shop where I donated a lot of the excess when I was cleaning out the place, and it was for a type of ice cream made in this really weird way that I doubt is possible, and a Karen type at the head of the line was having a rant because she didn’t think it should be available so no-one else should have it. You know the type.

    A question for those who filter and re-use their cooking oil. I use a filter or paper towel over a pyrex jug to catch the floaties then use a funnel into the empty oil bottle. Is there an easier way? Should I be double filtering? I just use the second hand oil in the frying pan. It’s rice bran oil.

      My mum had a fine grade steel mesh filter as well, that sat on top of a metal jug. She’d put a layer of paper towel on top too (she used it to drain freshly fried items). Once it all filtered through she’d reuse the oil in curries. Nowadays she doesn’t fry enough stuff to do this any more. Neither do I.

      Though one time I used too much oil when roasting some fennel so I poured the excess oil (infused with dry thyme) off the baking sheet into a glass jar and used it later to fry up onions and garlic and veg for a pasta dish. That was delish.

      I used to have a a very fine grade steel mesh filter funnel for oil and then use coffee filters to get out the tiny particles like flour

      I don’t use enough oil to reuse anymore

      I just use paper towel (2-3 layers) in a colander over a bowl. Slowly drips through. Seems to work and not much mess.

    Super deep sleep last night.

    Also didn’t get any afterdrop after the swim last night. Puts monocle on… One theory is that afterdrop happens when your core tries to continue to warm up peripherals (due to peripheral vasoconstriction from the cold).

    So the experiment is what happens if you dilate them blood tubes with chilli before jumping in. Body wants to restrict blood to limbs but can’t, so core temp drops more quickly, but that activates the trusty brown fat (BAT). The idea is to see if chilli can reduce the symptoms of mild hypothermia (mainly shivering and lethargy) by inducing it before jumping in.

    Seems counter-intuitive af BUT not the first person to think of it

    “Capsaicinoids have another advantage in that they could be administered to patients in the field as an initial response or could even be used in combination with physical cooling methods to reduce the need for sedatives and muscle relaxants and create a stable, more controllable hypothermia in people.”

    Thank you for reading my pseudo probably incorrect scientific report.
