Dr. Garbanzo posted:There’s people building a new house a couple of doors up. The noise they manage to generate at 7am on the dot is extraordinary. I had this for loving ages as well, except it was less then 5m from my bedroom window. Used to piss me off because they would start at 7am, then stop for the day at like 2:30. Delay it an hour each end fuckos, and let me sleep.

Tokamak posted:Saw a psych for the first time in a while. Said that they have never prescribed a stimulant to a 30-something, gave me a script for an anti-depressant and left it to me if I wanted to reschedule an appointment. This was after going through my history of taking a heap of different anti-depressants that did nothing, and taking a stimulant that did quite a bit. That and a few other awkward things, and I'am sensing that I will not be seeing this psych for long. Which is a shame since It has taken me forever to organise seeing one who can bulk bill me. Ugh, I hear you. I went through a couple of different psyches before I found one that worked for me. Can you ask your GP for a list of psyches that will bulk bill?

Im pretty sure that some of the labels on chilli varieties brought at bunnings are just a guide and not actually the truth, because I have had a bunch of examples where I bought one type and its completely different. One turned out to be a drat capsicum, another is supposed to be a bhut jolokia, but its coming into fruit at the same time as the california reaper, with fruits that look like the california reaper and a growth pattern the same as the california reaper.

Visible Stink posted:A mate of mine has been getting into 40k lately after doing it as a teenager. He doesn’t play the game though, he just likes painting the little men to look as cool as possible to display on his nerd shelf, which I think is probably the most sane way to go about 40k if you’re going to do it. Fwiw, Games Workshop has done a decent job lately of tightening up the ruleset to make the game actually fun, plus are working on being more inclusive and trying to cleanout the neckbeardy dregs that dominated the scene for ages.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:the bathtub is just getting sunk into the ground and turned into a little pond/tank overflow spot, the potatos thing interests me, do you just plant em right down the bottom and build em up over time? I haven't had a successful harvest of em yet but everything online is telling me to build em up with soil as they grow to get nice big tubers otherwise you wind up with sad useless little potatos, i threw a few straight in the dirt around the place to get a feel for what they do just completely unattended, and then I've got a few that I'm actually following the internets advice on quote:i threw a few straight in the dirt around the place to get a feel for what they do just completely unattended quote:you wind up with sad useless little potatoes This was the sequence of events for me.

TBH I put potatoes and pumpkin in the category of "its just cheaper and easier to buy them" Grow poo poo that gets expensive to buy imo, or is a replenish-able crop, like basil or spinach or lettuce.

There is also a bit of opportunity cost involved. How much space is taken up by the pumpkins that could be used better by different crops. If its just a space you werent going to use otherwise and you threw some seeds there and ignored them, then yeah, pumpkin is fine. If its a choice between a $2/kg crop and a $30/kg crop, or a crop that stores don't readily sell, I know which one im growing.

EoinCannon posted:I did a trial WFH day yesterday, we're only a small studio but it's VFX so there's large amounts of data and lots of different software and pipeline issues. Went pretty well cos our IT guy is very competent but mentally I don't really like it. My bike commutes to the office are part of my exercise regime and they separate work brain from home brain really nicely. If it comes to it I have no doubt I'd adapt but I wouldn't do it by choice. So keep the routine up, and go for a ride around the block then start work when you get back home. That mental seperation can be important.

McSpergin posted:Probably making yoghurt or curd cheese (paneer etc) most likely, I can't really say as it's not something my partner does. But yeah, milk heated to 96C then with some Citric acid added will split and you can make paneer or ricotta from it. easier to use UHT / long life milk imo. Just need to heat to 30something degrees then.
