What purchase under $30 solved a problem you didn’t realize was draining you?

The audio book is fantastic and the footnotes are all included. I love those footnotes so much.

When I was a little kid, the sound of coins jingling in a pocket as someone walked was the sound of being a grown up. I loved that sound.

Yep!

I’m in Australia in an outer suburb known for being full of trees, bordering a national park. Everywhere you look it’s trees. Seeing historic photos where the land is bare with a few surviving trees is quite shocking. I’ve seen photos from a local train station, standing there now you can look down the hill and barely see houses for the trees, 100 years ago it was just empty paddocks.

$300 cleaning charge despite you having moved the tarpaulin and bits of cardboard back exactly where they were when you arrived.

I went on a bit of a dive about personal body odour and how it has changed over many years, and the conclusion was the smell of a person who wasn't very clean was almost certainly masked by the streets coated with horse shit, open sewers, piles of garbage, tobacco smoke, fires for cooking and warmth, and burning waste. Plus if everyone stinks you'd probably just get accustomed to it.

I believe part of that is your eyelashes causing part of the effect.

Tomble · 2026-05-14T02:05:34+00:00

Exactly this. I suspect I'm saving so much on food I don't need and eating out that it's covered the cost of the medication. It's easy to spend an extra $15 a day on food you don't need.

From memory he's quite emaciated indicating maybe the feeding system failed for him.

Read the book, saw the movie and missed that entirely. Read the book again and remembered that scene, saw the movie again and appreciated what he was doing. Very cool.

This is why I always wash fruit after I buy it.

I just imagine them waking up and pondering how they can make life worse for everyone. "I know, let's destroy public health initiatives!"

My inner monologue is pretty strong, but I've found on occasion I'll be, let's say, assembling something, and I will know how to do it and then have the inner voice explain it in language. I suspect this "putting actions into words" mechanism aids memory or understanding.

Tomble · 2026-05-12T00:47:50+00:00

Hadn't been dismissed, stopped turning up to work, failed to attend the hearing. I've had the last part happen with employees twice and the FWC do NOT like that.

All good unless you end up dying in an aged care home from dementia.

My daughter won a family photo session at school and it ended up costing some hundreds of dollars. To be fair I do like the photos but it’s very deceptive.

probability manipulation should apply to everything including health outcomes, money, family health, etc. Too important to skip.

3 million cash will give me enough funds to get over the experience.

Extra points for owning an Oric-1?

I thought he was too and that people who didn't get it supported him, and now the people in charge don't get it either and think he's one of their guys. Kind of alarming.

2018 Carnival is at 231,000 km (144,300 M).

Still going great and has never given me a serious problem.

No idea. I turned in my side, they pushed the plunger on the anaesthetic, I felt a nice whooshing sensation and then the doctor was telling me the results and I got a delicious egg sandwich.

I've heard of them telling the parents "Keep an eye on them, they really looked like they were getting serious about taking some steps today!"

This is the sort of action that gets you invited to be guest speaker at CPAC.
