I was thinking about buying a few more food storage containers and somehow ended up ordering a cutlery set instead.

I wanna get glass or stainless for meal prep storage but haven't found anything I like. Ikea has glass but it reviewed badly on Oz bargain.

Kmart has a range of glass containers that I quite like. The lids are weird with a little pop up button and you CAN'T open the container until you pop up the button. Found that out the hard way.

Bit late this morning, but could I please have everything that's bad for me. There's too much helth around rn, and this needs to be balanced out. And a balanced diet is good, no?

Glass more practical if you plan to microwave straight in the container. Stainless is lighter and wonโ€™t break if you drop it. Dilemmas!

Agree thatโ€™s great value. These days itโ€™s standard to pay $25 for avocado toast that comes with 1 slice of bread, some greying avocado and 1 egg. Oh, and donโ€™t forget the 4 sprigs of micro herbs on top and a half teaspoon smear of beetroot relish on the plate which is useless to scrape up onto the food.

Imagine losing your arm to a wolf, then a few thousand years of selective breeding your ancestor loses a toe to an aggressive inbred pug.

Edit:

Okay turns out I'm not far off

Some teenagers beat up and actually killed a guy at our local train station. Of course all the Facebook comments are about machetes, making sure they get tried as adults, and whether they're out on bail already.

I'd like to know whether the attack was random or if they knew the guy. We've almost made it illegal for kids to be online or outside, so what do people expect them to do? The only people who care about what kids are up to are people who hate them and don't want to see kids anywhere. If only we had some larger social project kids could feel like a part of

If it feels too soon, then it is too soon. All will become clear in time. Meanwhile, enjoy each other's company. And don't stress about labels.

How dare they be young in public! No good will come of this! /s

I do agree that some kind of social project would be helpful - sport and religion used to do this function, but nowadays religion has been hijacked by extremists (of all kinds) and is no longer even geographically inclusive, and sport is either too 'professional' or is too much bother/expense to be inclusive. There really isn't an obvious forum of endeavour for those that aren't 'good at sport' or whatever.

My thesis is that the most addictive drug in the whole universe is - excellence. Once experienced, nothing else comes close. I fully endorse mobilizing community resources to find forums of endeavour that allow nearly everybody to experience excellence in some form or another.

Nowadays, fast cars, meth and firearms are doing quite a good job in weeding a lot of non-viable idiots out of the gene pool. Especially in combination.

Thatโ€™s horrific. But I really really really donโ€™t agree with the explanation for murder being because someone was banned from social media or didnโ€™t play outside enough, so of course theyโ€™re gonna go murdering?!
Youโ€™re right about one thing though, these kids are growing up in families where no one cares about them. The parents are disinterested in what the kid is doing socially, where they are at 3am on a Tuesday, if they are doing ok in school, if the 10 knives and 3 machetes the kid has in their bedroom seems normal. The kids themselves are motivated by approval of their peers, kudos, and no repercussions. I donโ€™t know what the answer is.

Pre internet dating you were more likely to date someone from your social group, uni, work, friends of friend's, etc. So you both had a better sense of each others dating status. (ie seeing someone else) But, that didnโ€™t automatically mean x number of dates puts a label on anything. Everyoneโ€™s different, take things fast or slow, whatever feels right for you. Itโ€™s no oneโ€™s decision but yours.

I stayed up working until 7am, then slept the rest of the morning in preparation for working again tonight.

Two 12 hour night shifts certainly make it feel like I'm having a very loooong weekend too!

I sometimes miss having a long weekend at the same time as everyone else, but condensing all the work into 12 hour shifts basically means I get a long weekend every week, so I can't really complain! And they pay out the day off in leiu for the public holiday, so the extra pay this week is a bit nice as well.

The new cutlery set I ordered has two sizes of knives and forks. Perfect for those multi-course dinners we all sit down to every night.

It has made me wonder whether anyone these days actually uses/wants multiple cutlery sizes or if it's completely outdated outside of formal restaurants etc.?

Mostly it just brings to mind my mother's constant explaining to anyone that went near her cutlery drawer that they needed to make sure they got out the big knives and forks to set the table with. As far as I can tell she never used the smaller ones, they were just there to stress her out that someone might actually put them on the table by mistake. I tried to get her to move them away somewhere else so she didn't have to worry about it, but she never did.

My mum uses the small knives and forks. It's like trying to eat your meal with a kiddie set.
