    Drat Boyo😝! I have my birthday prezzie early again because finding a hiding spot in an entire house and shed is apparently impossible. Would be a useless spy. Now I wanna built Lego and have to work for hours still 😿

      observe the person you want to hide something from

      put the object where they never go

      there are common places, men hide things in their car, often where the spare tire is

      women hide things in the laundry, often in the washing powder

    Heh. Maybe if I bought a grow light with a timer I could ripen things indoors.

    Nah. There’s not enough room and electricity is expensive. I’m not doing all that.

      for shits I actually built a solar powered grow light (it was on the eastern side of the house and supplemented a hydro cage that had the perfect spot right next to the back door…right up against a wall the house itself shaded). 'twas a fun project

      The LED lights used these days are pretty cheap to run, and you can get cheap usb grow light sets with a built in timer. You just don’t want then anywhere you are looking too often, they are often coloured lights which make your vision go funny when you look at them too long.

      I mostly use them for raising summer seeds indoors and growing basil over winter. I wouldn’t go overboard in trying to do an indoor setup, but a small system for a few herbs or seedlings is quite affordable these days.

    anyone got good recs for duct cleaners? Our locals have shat the bed for me. Definitely want to give them a quick hose out before we start firing up the heater

      Nobody who advertises on FB.

      Mentioning ducts or steam cleaning got you an automatic block for scamming on my old Community group.

    Now that’s it well past midday: what have been people been fooled by today? I clicked on the mod announcement without a second thought and laughed so hard, but also got tricked by a post about a whale shark in the bay. Every year I look forward to what Virgin Australia will come out with, along with Blizzard’s WoW patch notes (I wonder if that’s still a thing), though I’m often fooled on April 2nd by the posts that happen overnight.

    A couple of years ago I saw a cute video of a car that drove around Denver CO with a coffee cup taped to their roof - that’s the kinda IRL prank I like, the ones that don’t hurt anyone but just cause a “OH!” sort of moment.

      Also, late last year I got fooled by Captain Kate’s April Fools video about her cat Bug being able to get around Celebrity Beyond, but mostly because I saw it months after and didn’t check the date on the video!

      My kid has been rather lax about schoolwork and ambivalent about school overall, so I told him that we had decided to transfer him to butler school.

      I was very pleased with my prank but he was on to it in about 15 seconds

      Nothing will ever beat Red Symons April Fools Day prank about the spaghetti farms of Italy.
      EDIT: sorry that wasn’t him - his prank was Drive To Work Day.

      Today when I was out n about I was sitting at lights behind a car, in the left lane and I got beeped (more than once) by the dickhead behind me because it wanted to turn left into the main road. I thought it was a joke cos where the fuck am I going? Up this guys clacker so you can attempt to squeeze past in your bucket of shit. I wasn’t fooled.

      The Mod post is the only things I’ve seen at all. Hoping the otherside of the planet might deliver soon.

    Cardigan I tried on in store from this season: 57% acrylic, 32% polyester, 8% wool, 3% elastane.

    Cardigan I saw on Marketplace potentially from last season: 60% acrylic, 30% nylon, 8% wool, 2% elastane.

    Chat says the Marketplace one would be softer but the in store one would be more durable because of the polyester?

      There’s no way to know without feeling them. Both synthetic and natural fibers come in different grades, eg fine wool vs coarse wool. Also what is the knit or weave like, it affects the feel and drape. Just go with the one you like the colour and style of, because that’s the one you’ll get the most enjoyment out of.

      BEEEEACH. I went for a beach walk yesterday and it was glorious. The water looked absolutely stunning, but unfortunately we took the car that isn’t prepacked with towels and swimming gear.
