  • @Forcemajeure123 I just mentioned Uyghur food to wifey.

    She really doesn't like onions, but likes the taste of their food otherwise.

    (And by "really doesn't like onions", I mean I've seen her pick out every piece of diced onion from a dish before.)

    I'm not sure if it's just the restaurant we went to, but they had lots of pieces of finely diced onion in their dish, so that's a non-starter for her.

  • @Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon The joys of having an ethnic name (there's a reason I go by AJ these days).

    It's a pity I don't know how to code apps, because if I did, I'd make one that automatically plays a response when it's asked the following questions:

    Where's that from?

    No, I mean where are you from originally?

    No, I mean where's your family from?

    Oh, and where's that?

    Have you been back recently?

  • @Bottomracer @Forcemajeure123 I've tried Uyghur food before β€” albeit not at that restaurant β€” and it was delicious πŸ˜‹

    I forget what it was called, but it was a dish where noodles were chopped up into little squares, mixed with chopped up veggies, and cooked in a sauce, with a choice of meats (optional if you're vegetarian).

  • @Seagoon Every day, I promise myself that today's the day that I'll get to bed at a reasonable time.

    And yet, here I am...

  • @Seagoon @SituationCake When I start feeling that way, it's usually a sign for me that something has to change, or I need a bigger goal to look forward to.

    Is it time to take up a new hobby? New job? Move house? Do something on the weekend you wouldn't normally do? Join a community group? Plan something? Catch up with an old friend or meet a new one?

  • @Seagoon I really should be going to bed sometime right about now, yet I'm still procrastinating about doing the dishes...

  • @Seagoon I'm very much a pack early/leave early person. My partner tends to leave everything to the last minute (although she's slowly learning about leaving early).

    I'm the kind of person whose suitcase is fully packed a week ahead of time. She's the kind of person whose suitcase is fully packed the night before β€” because I've packed it.

  • @Thornburywitch @Seagoon Some of the most delicious foods are basically mouldy (or at least use yeast or a culture of some kind).

    Cheese, wine, bread, cake, yoghurt, kimchi...

    And you probably don't want to know how salami is made.

  • @Seagoon I've got a flight coming up soon.

    It's not this week, it's not next week, but it is the week after.

    Too early to start packing?

  • @Baku @Seagoon
    First up, congratulations ☺️

    A lot of FoI requests come from the media (Josh Taylor from The Guardian is notorious for them), or from industry groups, businesses, and parliamentary staff.

    They're probably not used to media requests that have come through from the customer service team, rather than their media relations team.

    Typos in internal emails are not that surprising.

    Did you end up cracking the spreadsheet? Did you find out anything interesting from the documents you got?

  • @LowExperience2368 @Seagoon Lots of hugs.

    I've been there before.

    Breakups are the worst β€” even if he's a complete and utter jerk (and from the sounds of it, he definitely is).

    Know that it's natural to cry, it's natural to mourn.

    And if you have a sleepless night, no-one will begrudge you if you take a day off work or cancel your plans for tomorrow.

    There's no rush. Give yourself time to grieve.

    It might take time, but know things will get better.

  • @Duenan Even the invincible Essendon side in 2000 lost a game.

    It's better if it happens in May than September.

  • @Seagoon Feeling a little better after seeing the Hawks win against the Doggies 😁

  • @Gurre @fuckcars The road lobby's big answer to the mess they've created with the Rozelle Interchange is to build a second road tunnel under Sydney Harbour.

    Engineers at the inquiry into the Rozelle Interchange fiasco have already testified that will only create traffic jams elsewhere on the road network: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/112383313109173146

    Just one more lane, bro!

  • @Seagoon Wanted to head out today, but ended up staying in.

    Still have a blocked nose and want to rest up.

    I'll do some grocery shopping a bit later, but otherwise I'm staying in and resting up...

  • @Seagoon It made life so much easier just folding and putting everything away ☺️

    Feeling a little better after an afternoon nap, but still have a runny nose πŸ˜”

  • @Seagoon Morning everyone.

    So I still have a nose that alternates between being blocked and runny.

    Yet I'm feeling less hungover than last week?

    Sleeping in has worked wonders ☺️

    It appears that drunk me not only did a load of washing last night, but also put it into the dryer too!
