  • But why...? What's the benefit of having a wifi connected washer? So you can put the load through again from bed when you realise you forgot to hang it out?... Wouldn't you still have to add detergent....I don't understand

  • It amazes me that I still sweat so much on my runs when it's so cold out.

    Edit - I see people running in down vests for Christ's sake

  • Hey man. Coupling and parenting is tough, believe me I know. Among other things the constant tiredness is really something that makes relationships hard, communication becomes really hard and misunderstandings, assumptions, and unfortunately resentment can build pretty quickly and easily. We've been going to counselling for about 18 months this time around, had a break before that and before that about another year with a different therapist. Seems like we are in similar boats as I was requesting it for a fair while before my partner agreed. If I can give you some advice for the counselling....try to go in with a completely open mind, as in don't assume you know everything about the feelings involved, situational history etc. I had to come to terms with some stuff about myself pretty quickly that I didn't even realise I did/do... If you both go in ready to work on things, ready to understand the others viewpoint, ready to be honest...that's the best you can do. The people you were are likely still there, the things you love about your partner are likely still there, just that they're being hammered by responsibilities that no one knows the full extent of before having kids. I hope things improve for you, and you and your partner can have some real understanding and compassion for each other.

  • Themed lunch notes for tomorrow after a visit to the Dandenong Botanic Gardens today.

  • Can confirm. The drive north from Adelaide is just amazing. I pulled over one night off the highway, drove about 1km west along very flat easy ground and camped for the night. The stars were just unbelievable.

  • Have you found this guy on YouTube? Alphonso Dunn He also likes a whittled pencil. Also, he's got some good tutorial type videos.

  • I think everyone should be able to enjoy something as much as this charming gentleman .... francais_ bourgeois43

  • Hah. I'd completely forgotten about the Eels.

  • Anyone of you people got a Pi 5? Worth the upgrade? I'm thinking a simple desktop computer for the kids to have access to...

  • Sophie Wilcox was in my sister's class at school. She got very carried away with her childhood stardom, but fair enough, she would have been 11 or 12 or something.

  • Every now and then I return to Doom Eternal, and realise I have no fps skills. It's so hectic even on lower settings.

  • I've recently discovered Astronomy Cast... Check it out if you haven't. Very accessible all things astronomy podcast....and no Neil deGrasse Tyson

  • I almost went in with the doggo after my run this morning, but it looked just too damn cold.

  • Got the telescope out. Got very satisfying woah's from the kids.

    Edit. Slight edit adding some sharpness as it seems the eyepiece was a little smudged. But otherwise straight through the eyepiece with my phone. Running with my recent Android Auto Wireless dongle AliExpress win, I've ordered what I hope to be a mount for my phone so I can do some proper long exposures using the tracking unit...

  • Turns out I wasn't across where the FA cup was up to, good luck getting tickets to the final on the 26th of May

  • all Premier League stadium tours in London

    hopefully Old Trafford as well

    if you're keen to see a game - tickets to premier league games are expensive and hard to come by. if there are any FA cup games on, it can be a good way to see a premier league team play, tickets are cheaper and easier to come by in the early stages.

    Cornwall

    do a walk on the coast - can highly recommend Polperro
