Absolute steal on one of the mrs's Christmas presents! She wanted some tea so I went to grab one of the tea2 gift packs. One was like 85 bucks, the assistant stopped me and said "hey just so you know if you buy 2 its like 80 bucks" and was like "so 160 in total?" he goes "no, both for 80" wait so I get a second one, and have to pay 5 bucks less? Heck yes!

Had a garbage sleep with last night's temps. But on the plus side I could have a really long sleep. I only just properly got up. Though I did get up for half an hour for a quick zoom this morning. I needed it though. I feel less emotionally strained and foggy, and like I can properly get into the swing of moving

It is just dawning on me that cause of my screw up with trying to redirect that parcel that's now gone into hibernation in Adelaide, I can't actually have internet at the new place until it arrives. Guess I can't finally put my 1.1TB of banked mobile data to use (full 5g even inside at the new place!) Initially speedtest.net was reporting about 300mbps down, but Amaysim caps their download speeds to 100mbps. It settled out at about 115mbps. That makes it faster than the max NBN speed I can get at the new place, so perhaps 5g home internet is actually a practical option

Edit: temperature chart

When we were 18 I moved into a new place, and on night 2 or 3 I got up at like 3am for a drink or something and walked straight into a freakin wall. Ever heard the sound of an idiot bounce off the wall at 3am? it sounds hilarious. Unless you're the idiot. So make sure you turn a light on if you need to get up.

I just had to rescue a frog. In my bedroom. 3 very interested cats, and one squeaky little frog who is now outside. Who needs sleep?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Froggo jumped on my foot, it felt ick! But he was a good frog and hopped in the glass to be put outside.

Silly question. Is it normal for a hairdryer to overheat and cut out way before youโ€™ve finished? Is this a quality issue or is it faulty/damaged?

Iโ€™ve been having this happen with different cheap hairdryers. And while my hair is difficult to get dry/takes ages, it isnโ€™t even going for a long time. I only ever rough dry my roots and am having the dryer cut out before Iโ€™ve finished doing that.

Okay the new Eurovision theme for Switzerland next year contains techno and yodelling, what more could you want? (Skip to 1:30 for the track.)

Shout out to Australians for making good music (King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, Flume, and more).
