            I don’t know how these things work, but it might be that whatever fixes were applied propagate more slowly through the apps that access the instance a bit differently. Maybe. Idk

    Partner’s pc WORKS!

    It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of a DT friend, who gave me the new mobo, RAM and SSD! And they helped me with the windows media installation so I can get Win10 onto the PC as well.

    Thank you!!! You know who you are! 💜💜💜

    Up awake yet again, having a good giggle about the packing boxes thread yesterday. 30 for a full house? I have easily double that in just books. it’s no wonder our removal guys expected to win their weekly competition for the office staff not passing relevant information to the crew 😹

          Put the tree on a folded blanket. Tie the top together and wrap it. Four guys grab a corner of the blanket. It’s a bother but not that hard. I had one job where a guy wanted about 300 of those book boxes in his attic via a spiral staircase, fuck that guy.

    Last night was animated.

    Ended up going to the jungle thing in the CBD.

    First time at a nightclub someone trying to sell me a pen and ket at the same time. Kids are different these days.

    Good jungle though.

          I never understood ket as a party drug. It’s like the complete opposite.

          Beer is good, not for $16 a pop, but still.

            Half a tab of acid, a bump of ket every two hours, enough booze to stay tipsy, a day of sunshine and 2000-2010 bush doof trance was peak drug use for me.

            A little bit of ket is a wonderful thing.

              Given the surroundings I can see that. Dark room nighttime raves with cheap exstasy made ket a silly option.

              Now, the day after on the comedown…made dealing with reality slightly better.

        100% PB Smooth from Aldi. I will sometimes sprinkle actual peanuts on a sanga as well for crunchy. But I mostly use it for sauces and shakes which crunchy isn’t great for.

          Idk how it would go in the microwave but the boxed stuff works so you could try. Halve the amounts and zap it to get the pasta cooked in the water. Then add the milk and do short bursts on lower power with frequent stirring, mix the cheese in at the end.

          I’m currently not able to eat very much and no longer tolerate even low lactose cheese otherwise I’d test and troubleshoot for ya
