Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I'm having trouble trying to google search this, but is there a name for the type of movement of an animal that can walk on all fours, but also use their front/forearms to climb.
Like monkeys and koalas for instance.
I feel like quadruped isn't correct.
Like clamber?
Anti-gratitude thread
I swear, if I don't sleep well tonight, I will riot.
Not to push meds, but maybe check if the chemist has something that might help on a temporary basis? Iβve used Restavit for insomnia (but it can make you groggy the next day, so start with 1/4 or 1/2). I think phenergan is also an option.
Good luck, insomnia sucks
Scam calls and texts. Had 3 calls from numbers I donβt recognise today. I never answer them but itβs bloody annoying.
ONYA JESS!!! π₯ π¦πΊ π¦ π
(Do you know how hard it is to not shout the fucking house down at 2am?)
Who's Jess
I don't
So the DT's general concensus is to grab a Bosch [washing machine]. This is the cheapest Bosch from a reputable-looking vendor that I can find.
Will order later today for a delivery hopefully some time next week.
The only time I'm thankful for a bus, when they have the heater on π
I can almost feel my fingers again. Shame on me for losing ONE of my gloves at a pub. π
The pub might've found it, give them a call.
@just_kitten - My wife passed her exam too thanks to Rowan.
On another note, TIL that the smooth stop Rowan taught me in the first hour is called the Limousine Stop.
I've managed to get a couple of sales on my items which is good news. Apparently eBay now hold the money until after the item is delivered if you are an infrequent seller - I approve in general as an anti-scamming measure, but it is annoying to have to pay the postage up front before you have the payment. Fortunately it was not a high postage cost.
Thanks for making the post. I saw there wasn't one at about 10 past, but I don't want my notifications going off all day so left it
In other news, YIL (Yesterday I learned) there's a remind me bot here. Technically it's on Mastodon, but it works here through federation: https://aussie.zone/comment/10817925
