All I need now is one of those boxy TVs with the bulgey front and a fireplace (and also to sit half a cm away from the screen) and I’ll be a certified 90s kid!
Ah yep that’s the term. I’m not quite young enough to not remember them at all, we didn’t have enough money for a flat screen so I think we kept ours until 2014 or 15. Those guys were strong as, I knocked it off the stand once running inside and it still worked perfectly afterwards
I mentioned the other day that I knew one of the boys that was murdered in Sydney. It was Luke Davies.
I had only known him for a couple of years, since his cabin crew training here in Melbourne, so I am not close enough to his friends or family to really be connected to their community in mourning.
But in my own way I just want the universe to know that each and every word about how he was a beautiful soul are true.
This is a fate that I am still failing to comprehend. My heart aches for his family and close friends. I will dearly miss him.
Just one more big bear hug would have been nice, hey fella?
Omg we have a VHS player! I actually have a bag of VHS tapes I got from an op shop last year. I’ve never played a VHS before and I’m kinda excited ngl
I don’t even know what I bought honestly. There’s a handwritten one about wildflowers, and some Disney movie, but I don’t know about the rest. I just saw 10c each and was like “ooh! Old people media! I will buy!” Love ya, Vinnie’s
Copying movies from the telly. You could buy blank tapes and record from a camcorder or copy from a telly, either by cable or just pointing the camera at the screen.
Clean the heads, but please don’t use a head clean tape ( in the bizzare offchance you find one) those things were sandpaper, you want a light solvent.
Ha. I have a VCR. I don’t think it has been plugged into power at any point in the kids’ lives. It’s just been there at the bottom of the entertainment cabinet, dark and mysterious and ignored.
The only tapes I still have are Star Wars remastered (Han still shoots first) and 1997 editions. Widescreen versions.
I should put them on one day. In this day and age of streaming and Bly Rays, VHS will be an experience.
Just drove back home to the city from Ballarat. The smoke is absolutely disgusting there. Got into my apartment and promptly spewed my guts out. Not sure if it’s the smoke or something I had.
Yep i was driving with it as it slowly got clearer but still a haze through the city. Ballarat itself though suuuuuuuuuucks! It was enough to hurt your eyes.
I get people being pissed off at the profiteering of supermarkets. Hell I’ve often thought the same especially when I see a bottle of Dove body wash for 17 dollars.
But at the same time shouting into space is only going to get you so far. Colesworth is a publicly listed company doing what those kinds of companies do - try and increase their profits. So unless you make that illegal or perform some other drastic intervention they will keep doing it.
Not enough brain for proper sewing so made twiddles. Very happy with colour match, but the advisability of usage near felines remains to be seen. tassels
Questions for those who use water chestnuts. Is it ok to sample them from a can before they get to the wok? Basically will I die? I may have eaten 1/4 can.
All food in cans is cooked and sterilized so should be fine to eat straight from the can. There are few riskier foods in general than fish which we eat straight from the can all the time without a second thought, so water chestnuts should not worry you at all.
Everything in a can is cooked. The process involves being heated in a pressure cooker and held at above boiling temperatures for a length of time. So it definitely passes the cooked test. But even if it didn’t water chestnuts are also fine to eat raw. So if there are still any left feel free to finish off the can.
full offense to A Certain Workplace but me kinda drunk operating with a hand full of fruit tingles is a better fucking laptop repairer than their entire dedicated staff.
(going over my loot so far not even a bung part. JFC. Corporations that do this need to be shot.)
Shoulder injury headache is kicking my ass. Bed for the rest of the day. It’s been a long time since I’ve had one, I’ve forgotten how shitty they feel.
