Dinner tonight with a friend who has (to his utter shock) just managed to buy a house. He wanted to talk solar. All the solar. ALL THE SOLAR. And he got a very very pleasant surprise when we went over the paperwork and he realised just how little a 6kw system could cost him. In fact i had a quote from when we got ours installed for a 6kwh and even factoring in the 2 years inflation, i believe the noise he made was w00t!

Looks like NAB internet banking is down. Hope no one needs to access their accounts tonight!
So I just found out my local Maribyrnong councillor has died of unknown causes in her home. This is quite shocking.
Well, I tried using my new funnels with a spice jar...
Those would be for decanting perfume
Those may be for dolls or for filling tiny jars / cremation memorial jewellery
Maybe it's for filling little soy sauce fishies...
Maybe you need to make a lego kitchen with teeny tiny spice jars that need filling. Or make and furnish a dolls' house. Just to make sure they don't go to waste.
They are, as you rightly said, quite small. I'd just never imagined funnels that small!
Ahem
Thereβs something magnificently primal about javelin throw.
The javelin looks fun.
There was a story from my old high school. One kid launched one a bit too well and went through an umpire's shoulder. He pulled it out and put it where he thought it was meant to land then went to hospital. Suffice it to say that was the last javelin event at that school.
My school story the javelin went straight through another kid. The wood shop one with a drill press was kinda worse.
Oh shit!
I got a bronze medal at the British National Championships in Birmingham for under 11 in 1990 by lucking out on my first throw. 2nd throw, foul. 3rd throw, foul. 1st throw good enough to get to final round. 4th throw, foul. 5th throw, foul. 6th throw.......foul. Bronze awarded for my first throw.

Have a great night everyone β€οΈ
So tired after work. Hopefully it will get better with time.
May the fluffy butts keep you warm :D
Should I keep making the frugal and gardening megathreads? Iβm trying to make Lemmy more active and encourage posting
I might also share my egg recipes if itβs not a bad time for it. (Are eggs still limited?) Theyβre not glamorous but will feed your family cheaply in a pinch. They deserve to be passed down.
Eggs are still limited, but don't let that stop you. The shops round here still have a 2 carton limit, but that's 24 eggs which can go quite a long way.
I like them even though I have been slack about commenting (sorry). And egg recipes would be great! I get mine from the farmers market so I haven't had supply issues. Still they are cheaper then red meat!
If you enjoy it, keep doing it. More people read than comment, so there may be people who find it useful even if they donβt interact.
Anti-gratitude thread
Took me half an hour to find a parking spot at uni. Also been very irritable lately. Just wanna feel neutral and calm and at peace. It's a battle.
Still feeling shitty about my (deserved but painful) $200 fine, that was going to go to the dentist... I'm going to ask for a payment plan to soften the blow.
Yeah I've already spilled my guts. See below.
Milky Way vs Bounty? A debate ensues.
Bounty. Always
Milky Way forever.
No
A late gratitude thread today.
Grateful for the chocolate muffins I made on Saturday, inspired by the Olympic village chocolate muffin hype. Eating the last one now.
Had a fantastic time chatting for hours into the night with my friend. Helped put aside my woes and stopped me from ruminating. It's lovely to feel wanted and connected
Grateful for the free pizza at work Ms fluffy bottom This place
I'm grateful for the little talks with my daughter. She makes me laugh these days. Oh and the I love you mummy and the hugs.
waiting for pakidge
It will come, you just have to believe.
It arrived! Well half the things did
TIL: The Victorian Housing Register has a preferred location area "Undefined" which lists "Blackwood, Bulla, Derrimut, Docklands".

Maybe not the best idea to pick it for your application.
What an odd bunch of places to group together.
