I’m so wired and tired from events of the last three days. So many thoughts going round my head and big feelings. At least it’s not the debilitating kind of tiredness, I still had enough go in me to whip up upma, dal tadka, and a guar bean + carrot sabji. And clean up all the myriad dishes and the kitchen!

Tomorrow will be a long day too, as I have a big dinner right after work with lots to talk about. Need to start early so I can take the car and leave work early + directly… Sigh

hugs and rest

StudChud,

That hypothesised, but very likely exists, Planet 9 (sorry Pluto). The one with the massive elliptical orbit of Sol the approx size of Neptune, is such a cool theory. Evidenced by other Kuiper Belt objects behaving in a way that would make sense if there was a huge planet we haven’t found that pulls on them.

My partner and I were thinking of names it could be called, in the recurring theme of Roman gods (sorry Uranus, they should have called you Ouranos). I think Terminus is a great name for it, the god of boundary stones.

That’s my entry for naming it. Terminus. Besides, it’s a cool af name imo

TIL about Terminus stones.

melbaboutown,

I feel like arse. Headaches and making dumb mistakes. With money of all things!

Gibsonisafluffybutt,

So I don’t qualify for the Sydney role because they require someone in office once a week.

Got some really useful feedback and info from the recruiter though, so that’s something.

Another interview tomorrow at 2pm. Not super excited about this one, but if it comes through so be it.

T156,

Anyone got some pet pictures to spare?

Been a bit lost and depressed lately (see spoiler), so could do with a bit of distracting/cheering-up.

Thanks to uni shenanigans.Spent somewhere close of 3 months of back and forth, only to find out that my WAM is 0.25% too low to qualify for the honours programme I was hoping for/need to do for job/further study reasons.

I happened to be in the kitchen washing my dishes at 5 pm just now. The cleaner came in and emptied the organic waste bin into the general waste bin.

I’m scandalised. If the organic waste bin weren’t there, I wouldn’t think much of it. But to have it be there and be a total lie isn’t cool. 🤬

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

Yup. The recycling bins at work are a lie. The cleaners dump them in together. Even the pure paper ones meant for the animal house. 😾

@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

recycling is a scam

I do agree with recycling in principle and I do my bit regarding aluminium, glass and cardboard but everything else is just not recycled by industry or gov.

my bit for the environment is to consume less, a lot lot less,

I’m also trying to make choices that result in less waste, eg, a cardboard box is better than a plastic bottle

my bit for the environment is to consume less, a lot lot less,

This is the most important bit of anything for the environment. We’re so primed by our society to consume, to want more. It’s almost rebellious to go against it and deliberately consume less.

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

So much of what people buy they don’t even regard as consumption

like redoing a perfectly good kitchen every few years just because of fashion

Seems like there’s a real shake up afoot in the industry I work in… processing interesting news about a big player taking over a few smaller firms. Perhaps consolidation is the theme of the next decade overall. The tech might be there for small businesses to flourish, but not necessarily the market support

melbaboutown,

Why is Coles homebrand paper cat litter so expensive? It costs about 3 times as much as the brand name.

can’t really compare them, one is kg and one is L

melbaboutown,

Three thirty-itis strikes again

Cendana,

Unit of measure is not the same.

Just looking at the Coles listing… it mentions 21L. So probably $1.09/1L.

Amazon suggests that the 24L is about 8kg, approx $3.75/kg.

melbaboutown, (edited )

Huh, well spotted. For some reason I didn’t see that. :/ Or perhaps my brain glossed over it, not realising there was a big difference.

Catfish,
@Catfish@aussie.zone avatar

What the others said about comparison measures. Coles probably did it differently deliberately… It ends up cheaper delivered from [various] online Pet stores if you are in their free delivery zone and get the big bags. -Barn has a $0.95/L thing on now.

melbaboutown,

I hate it when they randomly do different units of measure, or put unit pricing for different quantities -_- Genuinely didn’t pick that up for once.

Their non-member price is $1.17 for the 30l and I don’t often shop with Barn due to their prices on other stuff, so I might just stick with the supermarket when I get the cheap delivery slots or Circle (as I get free postage over a limit I always hit) or Budget Pet Products. But thanks

Baku,

You haven’t lived until the smoke alarms go off when you’re in the dunny 😂

Yes. Though I rather like it raw also.

I suspect we’re about 3 weeks off the house smoke alarms going off at 3am all the time because of internal humidity. Bye bye batteries

Baku,

Oh yikes, we’ve never had that happen. The closest thing I’ve seen is at my last place, apparently a spider built a home inside the vent of one of the smoke alarms, so everytime there was some wind, the cobweb was pushed into the sensor and alarms would go off.

We can’t just unplug the batteries though, all of our alarms are hardwired and wired together, so if one goes off, the entire house starts beeping. We do have a control panel where we can pause an alarm for 10 minutes, but they aren’t very fond of us doing that since if there was an actual fire, we’d be clueless

Cats are still on a diet. The fighting between them gets more intense as they stake out the limited food resources.

Bill is looking good , just a little bit chomnk. Ted is on the light side of hefty chonk whereas he used to be on the heavy side, Ted waddles 😞.

melbaboutown,

Poor kitties. Can you stir some cooked pumpkin in to fill them up a bit more, and/or feed them separately?

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

Your cat finds itself most happy with a portion of the food given

I don’t know any cat that thinks “I’m full now. Please don’t give me anymore”.

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

All my previous cats had an unlimited crunchy bowl, unlimited food. None over ate and got fat. Ted, Ted will eat until he can’t move.

Gibsonisafluffybutt,

Gibson has unlimited dry food and wet food at night and she’ll just graze.
