    CT Scan came back clear, headache is still present though. Spent nearly 13 hours in bed, just sleeping on and off. Glad work has been very understanding!

    Attempt was made. The recipe said to simmer the tomato base for five minutes and it should be ready for the eggs, but because I used crushed tomatoes, it took longer. Will report back after taste test. I'm just glad I actually made something, even if the capsicum wasn't julienned.

    Meeting with the place I do contract work for just finished. I asked for a bigger fee % for most types of projects I handle for them, plus now was the time to go for it with their resource shortages. I was pretty nervous about this meeting, but prepared and I made my case. Now I wait to hear what they say. If they say no, then I’ll just pick up less new projects and they can deal with the resource shortfall themselves. It’s not going to become my problem when they don’t incentivise me.

    Boyo has a Zoom interview shortly and is not amenable to the suggestion he change out of a t-shirt for a sex toy shop. Hopefully coffee will kick some sense into this.

        I have rum, dried mint, and tarot cards available. Think they might help?

        It works perfectly except having to stop/start with the power switch all of a sudden. Bloody bizarre.

          Sacrifice a black chicken. Use the feathers to oil the machine. It’s nearly still the full moon so maybe that will help. Would recommend using henbane or wolfsbane rather than dried mint. Drink the rum, and then you won’t care. Put the tarot cards away in case they get hurt.

            That only applies to mechanical sewing machines. The ritual for the computerised ones is ‘turn it off, then turn it on again’. If this ritual doesn’t work drinking the rum is still the appropriate next step.

                Put frozen chicken on its side in a stock pot. Add full jar of honey, and about a litre of low salt soy sauce (Aldi!) to cover chicken. Add cold water if you don’t have quite enough to cover the bird. Drop in about a hands worth of peeled garlic cloves. Bring up to a simmer very very slowly, then simmer for 1 hour, turning chook over half way. Be sure to simmer very gently. Retrieve chicken and sacrifice by eating it however you wish. Hot or cold. It will be blaaaack and yummmmmm irrespective of feather colour. Strain and save the liquid and freeze in cubes to add to soups stews etc. It will set to a jelly if you don’t want to freeze it right away. The chicken meat done this way is damn good (best tacos ever!) but the real joy is the liquid - it’s AMAZING as an ingredient.

                  That sounds delicious. I’ve always loved the jelly in even a leftover chook.

                  Machine still being stupid. Mechanic required.

    I found the pic I took of one of the strays the day before I started feeding them. They were mostly still kittens.

    They grow up so fast hey

    For a while I’ve felt like I’d rather fuck around with plugging my laptop into the TV and dealing with the audio issues that can crop up than ever turn on a console.

    This was reinforced a while ago when my girlfriend broke out her old disney infinity stuff for the kids. She had to sign in to her PlayStation account just to play local coop, which then forced a bunch of system and game updates. Truly a terrible experience.

    Aside from the audio devices being annoying, the laptop needs to fully turn on before it will detect any other audio devices, Bazzite has Just Worked and I’ve been really enjoying it

      remember when a person didn’t have to have an account to play a game, they just put the disc or cartridge in and played

      Yeah, I’m about to put bazzite on my last one of those Dell sff’s for a console like box. The co-op games I want to play are on steam and run off line. I’ve been running bazzite on my main pc for a while now and it’s great. Whenever I have to give mum IT support for win11, I’m glad to not be using it. Heating about Old Gatesey and his Epstein rash further reinforces my decision.

        I’m thinking of switching my big PC over from Mint to Bazzite. I just haven’t been happy with Mint’s performance on some games, but the laptop has worked well.

        I also like the extra WINE options I get between Lutris, Heroic, the WINE GUI launcher, and a few others. I’ve spent some time on MyAbandonWare and I’ve been able to get some of the oldest and most unsupported games working on there

    Convinced the team to go to a nice winery for a tour and lunch because why not? There is every possibility we could actually do something there so you could say it’s justified. They were impressed at the very least
