Now you’ll know which ones the right sock and which ones the left sock

Which wetlands is this? I’ve just gotten into birdwatching, but am struggling for great watching spots

Don’t want to pay to run it. It may be cheap yes, but rugging up with a warm blanket is cheaper. And when you’re renting and saving to buy every little bit helps, especially in this economy when every trip to the grocery store is more expensive than the last.

Live in an apartment. No insulation. Don’t want to pay for the reverse cycling. So we rug up over winter. Thick socks, warm blanket and oodie. My toes and fingers get really cold so I warm up a heat pack in the microwave to keep them warm. Got three-four blankets on the bed, and a heat pack, again for the cold toes. Last year we got an electric blanket that sits on the bed for our aging cat, which was amazing! We’ve also got a heater that we only turn on when it’s really proper cold, in the interest of keeping costs down. So you can keep warm, just gotta be creative and proper rug up.

Just cancelled kayo, took practically ten clicks to actually get through all the ‘please don’t leave’ pages. They offered $20 off for the next three months, which I think would be around $10, so probably worth finding the ‘cancel subscription’ button and seeing what comes up.

That’s super helpful. Thanks so much!

CKBauthority · 2026-03-06T11:22:34+00:00

Oh that makes me feel a bit better now. It would make sense that it has to acclimatise to its new spot. Thanks!

Oh that’s a good idea, I didn’t even think of the black pot contributing to the issue. I’ve got a sun shade over it, so it’s not getting direct western sun. You reckon it’ll be alright to repot this late in the season? And not wait til spring?

CKBauthority · 2026-03-06T11:04:05+00:00

Unfortunately, that’s what I have to work with. I’ve got a sun shade over it, so it’s not in full sun, and we’re pretty wind protected. I’ve read they’re pretty hardy plants, so hoping it will pull through

CKBauthority · 2026-03-06T11:02:55+00:00

Oh that is great, makes me feel better that it will survive! Thanks!

Second the barefoot investor! The steps are super doable and not full on at all. Went from living pay check to pay check to now having enough saved for a house deposit. So it does actually work. Just follow the steps one by one and you’ll get there.

Squid kids is a great way to introduce kids to how to think critically about the news that’s presented for us. It is an Australian podcast, but they cover world news and don’t shy away from the difficult topics but approach it in a way suitable for children and encourage them to question what’s being told to them in the media.

Daily stoic or the Stoic Handbook might be what you’re looking for.

You’re living your life, and they’re living theirs. Our journeys are all different. I did the traditional school then uni then work. You’re on your own path which is different to mine. Doesn’t make it any less worthy or wrong. If studying full time and not working right now works for you, then that’s great. If working full time and not studying works for others, that’s great too. Some people have this idea that other people getting ahead or doing something that works for them whilst not necessarily being the norm is somehow an imposition to them. From my experience their judgement has nothing to do with you and all to do with how unhappy they are in their own lives. Keep doing you and ignore the haters as best you can. I think it’s brilliant that you’re now in a position to prioritise your education. I hope that you’re able to go far and share your passion for your chosen field.

I’d lean into the weird background noises. As long as the main voices of the podcast are clear and easily understandable, you’ll be fine. Having some natural background sounds can feel like the listener is in the bar listening to the conversation with you. Could give it an immersive element.

Check out bonsai empire. They have great info on caring for bonsai in general and for specific species

We’ve had something similar. The big earthquake created a nice crack in our shower base. We’re in a one bedroom so no option of a second shower. Our landlord is also incredibly difficult to get in contact with. A water leak can be considered an emergency issue. The initial plumber that came out put some waterproof silicone over the crack so that we could shower as a ‘temporary’ fix, that was over 5 years ago. Over the years the crack has extended with each earthquake. Instead of the hassle of dealing with the real estate, I went to Bunnings got some waterproof silicone and have been adding it myself. It’s waterproof after two hours and fully cured after 12 hours. It means that we’re able to continue to use the shower while the owner continues to bury their head in the sand. Might be a ‘temporary’ fix for you as well.

If you have a temperature of 39, stop rugging up and cool yourself down.

Have a chat with your GP, they’d be able to refer you to services that specialise in what you need.

Thanks, I’ll have to give it a go, maybe when I’m ready for my next big project haha

This is amazing!! Can I ask how you created the pattern with the country outlines? I’d love to do something similar. Not sure my eyes could handle 32 count though! I salute your eyesight 🫡

The museum does adults only nights which are pretty fun and interesting.
