Did anyone think the temperature last night was extremely random? I go to bed cold so I get an extra doona. Then I wake up at 5 am absolutely cooking.

Should I be worried about the next appearance of the food truck? πŸ™

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

Um, yes? Would you care to join me in sending healing vibes in the food truck's direction? I believe its parked just around the corner - any corner. πŸš‘βš• I think our beloved chef has been reading a bit too much Verne and/or Poe.

πŸ“Ώ πŸ™ ☸ πŸ•‰ 🌈 Let us pray that we do not end up prey tomorrow. I have a feeling there may be some infiltration by the after eight clientele. If so, the health inspectors may want to know about this...

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

If necessary, we will include them in the after eight menu, after consulting with our beloved chef.

Today was sorting day, since I wanted a clear day to tackle the back room. Didn't quite get the floor cleared but got a through path and more stuff on the shelves (and crap off the shelves).
Also got on a roll this evening and got the DVDs unpacked and shelved. And found the pyrex, so bonus!

🎼I want this like a cigarette
Can we drag it out and never quit?
And oh my god, you are heaven sent
With your dirty mind, yeah, you're perverted
You give me guilty, guilty pleasure πŸŽΆπŸŽΆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Fell asleep to some video of the difference between Quebecois and Parisian French. Felt somewhat better after and made it to airport short term wait area. No hope of any meal prep tonight so I think I'm just gonna have to write off the rest of today and consider a sickie tomorrow if I don't feel any better. Blurgh. Brain no can use

e: do you know where they should take people for their driving test? Airports arrival queue esp turning left from Centre Rd. Straight up insanity. If you can survive that and keep calm and not make any wrong turns/lane changes you're good to go. Home now and getting straight to bed.

The kids have a massive flatbed tonka truck I'm constantly flipping on its side so it doesn't become my Skateboard To Hospital. It makes me feel like those guys they hire in Singapore to tip over open pots of water after it rains so mosquito's don't spread

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you wanted to continue the Singapore theme, you should fine your kids in increasing amounts per infraction... $5000 and/or 3 months jail from the third time on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe I'll put them to work doing the actual cleaning up like all the old guys in Singapore

The sound of a random toy going off in the middle of the night because it's low on battery is heart stopping. Thanks furby. Always thought you were possessed.

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

I swear toys these days are programmed to make a noise after they haven't been touched in a while to try lure the kids back. I'll be sitting in the loungeroom and a toy the kids were just playing with will suddenly make some noise all on its own

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I didn't think of that!

My daughter had a doll and late one night I heard I love you mommy, hug me. Oh boy did I shit my pants.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How is it fair that when I warn the Mrs she’s feeding the kid too much cheese that I’m the one that gets puked on?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Proposal: feed the kiddo cheese and give them back to Mrs Break. :D

I really can't afford to get sick this week but I kinda hope I am because today was a bit black mindwise and feeling really foggy..managed to catch up with family and that was nice. Glad I pushed to do that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ooooh I've discovered the world of spicetify and spotify client themes

I mean look at this!

There's also flashbang mode, if that's your vibe

One with animates stars

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

I prefer the last one. The white, middle one is gross af

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

Agreed. I could barely see what I was clicking. I'm rocking the first one at the moment because I like the vibe, but will probably switch to the animated star one long term.

There's also an extension that adds better lyrics which sync better to the song with a fullscreen lyrics thing. I like it, but it uses album covers for its theme which clashes a bit awkwardly with the rest of the UI

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ooooo neat as! But yeah that's a clash oof

It's still around. You can use it if you get your music from 'other' sources

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I do have a good number of mp3s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

It really kicked the lama's ass.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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