Closed-face it is!

It came in our Farmer’s Pick veg box. 😁 At peak season, they’re $1.29 AUD. They’re $2 now.

Thank you! It was 😁

Excellent. I’ll you there. 😁

Thank you! I’ve just joined your sandwich community. 😁 Are wraps acceptable?

Damn… Thought I had it right. 😔

The sandwich. Pastrami, lettuce, red onion, Mayo, mustard on fresh sourdough bread. Toasted. 😁👌

I left with the disabling of API.

Today, I went back in to my account to delete every single comment I have ever made, one by one, then deleted the entire account. Should have done it ages ago, but better now than never.

I was reading about bans and stuff and all sorts that I didn’t care to understand, so instead of using a third party apps to change/delete/etc my comments, I did it manually. It felt pretty satisfying.

My last “fuck you, r/jailbait Spez”. I’m not letting them use my comments or account for anything. Hopefully, I’ve done it right.

Sure do, thank you! You stay warm over there!

Thank you! Yes, Australia. I didn’t go out to get a fresh loaf of bread to make a sandwich. It’s supposed to cool significantly tomorrow, so I’ll go out then.

This is 15 minutes ago…

I know that I’m an on-and-off reader, so I put down 12. Sometimes I’ll blitz through a 1000 page book in a week, sometimes I’ll not read for months.

I’ve got a StoryGraph account and have joined some reading challenges, but I don’t think I’ll be able to stick to them. I plan to read certain books, then I see something else and go “Oooh! Shiny!!” and then the planned reads are forgotten.

I have found that I like to have two books on the go so I can switch between the two depending on my mood. I did this with two fantasy/dragon genres, and I probably shouldn’t do that again. I started mixing them up.

Ive just finished a book and about 2/3 of the way of another, so I’m looking for another to fill the gap. Just cracked Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang, but it hasn’t hooked me yet.

Pulling a muscle because I sneezed too hard.

Worrying about if I’ll have enough to retire on, if I can retire at all. Worrying about health, the drop in spice tolerance, waking up stiff. Eyesight starting to deteriorate. Wanting to be more social, but would often rather just stay home. Maybe not so unique, but worth a mention.

I am a RecipeTinEats advocate. The recipes that I have tried have never turned out wrong - even my kitchen-anxious partner can follow her recipes just fine. Her books go for $20 at Target/KMart/Big W.

I also have a book called Africola, after a restaurant in Adelaide, South Australia.

I also like The Mediterranean Dish. I don’t think it’s AI, but I could be wrong. I hope not.

I keep mine until they die or become so slow that it just isn’t very usable anymore.

I used to have a One Plus 3 for 4 years until it fell out of my pocket and a cow (or cows) stomped on it. It came back to me after another farmhand found it in the mud 3 months later. Still works, but completely bent, and screen is cracked and crazy discoloured. I keep it now as a paperweight, or to hotspot. I also keep my Canadian sim card in it so I know exactly where it is when I go back.

Then I had a OP6 for another 3 years, and it black screened.

I now have a Samsung S23, and will keep it until it dies.

BTW, I think there are charging port cleaners out there, if nobody has mentioned it already.

Honestly would prefer that right now… Two more months of winter, you can do it! 👊

Thank you! Maybe I’ll post a pic of a pastrami sandwich tomorrow… 😁

I agree. I was taken to emergency 6 years ago for stomach cramps so bad I nearly blacked out a couple of times trying to get from kitchen to toilet and back. The doctor deduced that I was allergic to eggs and I just stared at him, dumbfounded. Both my profession and my previous life as a first responder knew he was dead wrong. The two nurses behind him let nothing show on their faces, and that told me everything.

The nurse (neither of the first two) that discharged me was just as bad.

You can 100% go to school for 4-8 years or whatever, and still be incompetent. I just hope that if they’re both still practising, they haven’t contributed to someone’s death.

Do what you want, OP. We’re not going to live forever, and life speeds up as you age, like a roll of toilet paper. Do what you enjoy.

“Living the dream.”

I’m about 95% done Alchemised by SenLinYu. I know some people really didn’t like it, but I fall on the completely opposite end. I would havd finished it yesterday, but I forced myself to slow down and enjoy the last 50 pages.

Also in the middle of reading Boulevard Wren and Other Stories by Blindboy Boatclub. My partner has gifted me Blindboy’s latest book for Christmas, so I’ll be on to that this year, too.

I’m going to have an Alchemised hangover, so I might take a short break before I pick up my next.

If you are enjoying your current book about ultra processed food, I’d recommend That Sugar Book (and documentary “That Sugar Film”) by Damon Gameau.

If you’re just looking for presence/absence of live microbes, just use ATP swabs.
