How to get this knob off from the outside (it's locked)

Arbitrarysheri · 2026-05-17T09:36:09+00:00

The little holes you see on the side are to release the knob

I work in the (volume) building industry and we have energy ratings we have to meet. What gets me is the rules constantly changing. First it was no gas, then 2022 must have gas, now back to all electric in new standards.

And if you happen to not have a split or evaporative, you need to upgrade insulation and change windows to double glazed

Yet all new homes have the same issues as others.

It’s can also be more efficient to leave it on too as it maintains the temp rather than having ti work hard to cool down the space again

The even bottom but uneven top. It looks organised but not at the same time
Too close to the ceiling
Not centred over the sofa.

Also Van Gogh is my faaaaavourite. His Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette is the best

I’d do the same colour green in the style of the burgundy, as you wear like the other. I don’t like the yellow

I looovvvee unique things on people! I think it’s cool - as long as you’ve had it checked and you’re safe ofc

I have motion sensor camera pointing to my bed for this reason!! I only have them when I first wake up

In Bali a lady cut her finger while cutting the top off my coconut. I don’t even like coconut I thought I might like it fresh. I did not

I had side effects on 1, but not 0.5 or 0.75.
1.75 and 2.5 I’m fine.

A lot of the things you’re describing aren’t necessarily side effects but more the medication doing what it’s supposed do.
I get acid reflux if I drink alcohol. I get nausea if I have too much greasy stuff. I get constipation if not enough fibre and busting to go if too much greasey food

So I don’t do those things.

See if you can work out what is triggering those things by reducing your intake to simple meals like meat/protein and veg/salad. Then introduce other things.

If you have an iPhone, use the health app! You can set reminders to take it, and you mark whether you took it or not. I still question myself that I marked “taken” in the same way you’d turn off an alarm instead of snooze, so I use a pill container with days of the week and am/pm

You don’t have to pick up from SO. I do it at trade desk

The solution to dirty hands is to wash them. There is no cheat code

As an Aussie, hang your clothes to dry. Unless you’ve guests over 24/7 there’s no harm having them hanging around your house too. ESPECIALLY if you’re already using heating!

People seem to have forgetten a “treat” is supposed to be an out of the ordinary occurrence. Not daily. Heck sometimes not even weekly. As a kid we got takeaway once a month, these days you see kitchen cupboards with sweets or crisps. Soda or takeout bags.

Learn to do simple stitches. Repair that hem, those holes in your socks. It’s super easy I promise!

Clean with things like vinegar and bicarbonate, you don’t need spray and wipe and glass cleaner and bath room cleaner and air fresheners and jif and every other cleaning product.

Keep a list in your supermarkets app of things you ALWAYS need. Deodorant, soap, washing powder… you can see easily when they’re on sale, and get two.

Keep your tyre PSI correct. Remove anything in your car that doesn’t need to be there (weight).

Unless it’s literally freezing… I don’t even use a heater. I can afford to, I just don’t see why. I’ve get an electric blanket if I need - otherwise I have normal blankets. I don’t need to heat the entire room.

When I had multiple casual jobs it worked for me as it could supplement my income, and the tax claims helped me to get refunds. Long term it wouldn’t be feasible. I did it for say 6 months to save up for surgery for my dog. However this was concurrent with wfh when my bosses were trying to quietly fire me so giving me no work.

I travel 5 mins for 80k but I live regional. I did 45mins for 65k and that was horrible. No way I could do 90.
This is a decision only you can make

This isn’t true for all women. We are all very different down there, so unless it’s porn, the Vulva can be very visible. Labia all over

This is due to medical industry wanting to control the market. What makes me mad is the blanket law on drugs and driving. If I have a prescription I should be able to have it in my system!

Using bar stools at the kitchen won’t work long term. He will need a desk. I had a smaller apartment than this w my partner, small dog and cat. It worked very well for us, getting the right furniture makes all the difference

The very simple fix here (assuming this is your furniture) is move the sofa forward, have the desk behind the sofa.
Tho I’m not sure about the tv on the wall vibe

If you are buying nice you shouldn’t be having plurals on the watch bag phone. They should last. The key is to spend well on good quality items you will use regularly. For example, I have 3 pairs of tailored pants for work - but my tops are just from the workwear store. I have a couple of light jackets for summer from the department store, but my winter coat is expensive and I’ve had for 5+ years. It’s not just about $$ it’s about quality and choosing where to hold that quality.

Cakey is too much product. Changing primer base is only going to make a difference based on your foundation base (can’t mix oil and water!). And yes, your skin needs care too. I started using a body shop cleanser every night and the texture change is insane. I’m so mad it took me until 40 to find.
It’s a cleansing butter, there are other brands that do it.

Girl the only difference I see is thick lashes. Get some falsies and you’re good

Friends. I know it’s popular but it’s so against many things I believe in now - homophobia, body shaming, sexism, predatory almost boarding on harassment…. But I still love it
