I have picked the wrong pathology location today. Soooooo slow and I have stuff to do today!

Well, that Netflix Life on our Planet doc has got one of the most detailed and convincingly animated dinosaur obliterating asteroid scenes I've ever seen.... May not have been the best choice for (young kids) family viewing Friday....

Well with that review, I’ll have to put it on my watch list.

@Seagoon_ So I'm getting a head start on the weekend by getting a couple of loads of washing done this evening.

But.

It annoys me that they no longer include a scoop with the laundry powder anymore.

Yes, I'm all for less plastic.

So why not make the scoop out of cardboard?

Our local Chinese takeaway can figure out how to do a cardboard soup spoon. You're telling me the global multinational can't figure out how to do a laundry powder scoop from cardboard?

This annoys me too. It’s too fiddly to figure out how many grams or teaspoons it whatever measure they suggest you use, and find an appropriately sized vessel at home. Just give me a scoop or sell it separately.

Go to your local Vinnes or Brotherhood or Salvos. Look in the kitchenware section for a 1/2 or 1/3 cup measuring scoop or spoon or cup. May cost you all of 20 cents. My local Vinnies has zillions of these that have become detached from their sets and are perfect for the purpose.

Has anyone noticed there's hardly any wind lately?

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Yes. There are deciduous trees around my house and usually the wind does a nice job of ushering the fallen leaves towards one area, which makes them easier to clean up. This past couple of weeks leaves are everywhere and wind seems to be in strike.

Now that you mention it, yes. It's still out in the burbs , once I'm closer to the bay in Carlton it's a little bit blowier.

And I have noticed the weather seems to be drier than usual.

So before the power potentially carks it..

Behold the Baguette of misfortune

There was post recently on the site that won't be mentioned about RR. That didn't look very good whatever that roll was. But I still maintain their chips are up there.
