Cracker Barrel cheddar is a very delicious cheese and as good as some of the fancier cheddars.

TIL NSW had lord of the fries too, until recently when their last store was repossessed by the landlord. (Source)

I've never tried them honestly. I've walked past the one near Flinders so many times and it almost always has long lines out the front, but I've never tried them

I feel like the internet is getting worse for users

I particularly notice it on google searches. So cluttered with ads and promotional listings. It used to be that the most useful answer was in the top 3 results. Now you’re lucky if it’s on page 2.

I often have to go to Reddit, but the shit hit there too

it isn't just sites like insta or fb or apps that are designed to suck your attention and time that are worse, the net has become a battlefield between countries

they are fighting for your approval and your vote and the bad guys will use lies to get it

I just discovered that one tiny typing error turns the suburb of Bellfield into Bellfiend. Very different vibe.

Edit: fixed one tiny typing error.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

That is not an error. It is a felix culpa.

No drinky-poos tonight. Got places to be tomorrow. For those of you who are, cheers anyway🧃 Back to regular programming next week.

I think I might be a little sick.

Runny nose and coughing due to stuff getting stuck in my throat.

Blah. What a horrible way to spend the last and next few days.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Rest up! It's EVERYWHERE and hit me like a ton of bricks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’m certainly doing as little as possible though the stupid laundry is going to be unavoidable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Apparently they spray the elaborate ballet costumes with vodka instead of washing or dry cleaning, and you can do it to normal clothes too. Dump some Smirnoff on your socks and see. Tada! No more laundry.

@imoldgreeeg @Duenan If it's any consolation, I was quite literally going to post the exact same thing.

I got home last night and my voice was a little hoarse. Woke up this morning with a slightly sore throat and a runny nose.

So I pulled out a rat test, and thankfully it was negative for COVID.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’ve done a covid test last night. Negative result.

May do another one tonight. I had my flu shot a couple of weeks ago so I didn’t think I’d catch something so fast.

I’ve been losing my voice as well in and out, same as you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@Duenan Wifey had COVID a few weeks ago. She's just recovered her sense of smell and taste now. So my concern was (despite all our best efforts) I may have caught it.

Really hope that's not the case.

I just had a nice big bowl.of soup with *lots* of chilli.

Anyway, I hope you get well soon 💜

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Keep testing over the next few days, i remember being sick with it and doing tests and one day suddenly the tests came up positive even having days of symptoms and testing negative before that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (4 children)

sore back, resting, a little concerned 🤞

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I hope it's properly healed. Go gently on it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Gentle hugs for you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

🤞🤞hope it comes good again soon.
