Toe update - doesn’t seem like I’ve broken it. My god is it sore though, feels like I’ve overstretched all the muscles in my toe, foot, and shin. Still getting that weird pain every now and then, and I’m sure if I knock it on something birds will be disturbed 2 streets away.
I hope it’s nothing too serious! I’ve gotten somehow caught up in backpack straps before, it’s a weird way to have an injury isn’t it! That brief wtf moment.
I’ve done something similar to my pinky toe before, smashing it hard into my camphor wood chest. 99% sure I broke it, but you can just splint it to the next toe. I would go to the docs/ER if pain and discomfort become persistent and unbearable, because if it is broken, there is a chance the toe bones have fractured and you may have a floating chip of bone in there. Keep an eye on it and your weight off it, splint it, and see how it goes.
It could still be broken. If it’s that painful I’d get it checked out.
Nothing you can do for a broken toe anyway right?
Not as far as I know, other than splinting it to the toe next to it and try not to move it too much. A pinky toe even more so.
However, the big toe would definitely warrant a trip to ER/GP just because it helps with balance and walking. The pinky is less necessary.
I really did not know there was a recipe difference between Savoy and Jatz.
Where on earth does the name Jatz come from?
Movie Review . Artifice Girl.
War Games did it better in 1983.
1 hobbit.
Think I’m going to be cheeky today while I’m working between sites and stop off at the supermarket to do some shopping so I don’t have to do it after work today.
Ack. Need to sort out something wit my car insurance and this is the 2nd day I’ve gotten the same person who seems very inexperienced.
Guess I’ll call back tomorrow and hope I get someone different.
I must really overestimate people’s intelligence. There a YT sub dedicated to these docs fishing hearing aid batteries and such out of people’s ears.
I hope I haven’t made a mistake tipping for Collingwood tonight.
changed it last minute before the bounce.
Daily Chair updoot.
the first cushion is completely finished yay
spoiler
Ooo, I love this!
Split pea and ham soup for lunch. Me happy.
Every time I see your username now I’m like “thats a man who didnt finish BG3”. And I want you to know it stresses me out haha I’m not mad, just disappointed.
I will replay it one day, but can’t be bothered at the moment. I did get to the underwater prison thing and just irritated with the turn based rescue mission.
That was tough. That’s about where I started to lose steam too. Worth seeing it through to its end though.
I’ll replay it eventually. Might change classes and shit.
Honestly Act 2 dragged on too much for me. The whole Shars gauntlet was just meh
Honestly I found arriving at the city the most tedious part. I just wanted it to be over. And the it was, and you sort of see it as the sum of its parts and it was amazing in retrospect.
I love dnd and didn’t finish the second act.
Oh it drags like hell. There’s like 3 false endings which pissed me off to hell
Friday night guac has been made and nommed. 🥑🍅🍋🌿🌶️
Kids requested movie night and they got to pick.
We’re watching Wayne’s World and I’ve never been prouder.
It’s such a snapshot in time and still holds up.
The Daily Chair. I have some strong canvas for the underside of the chair and today I tidy up the cover and staple the canvas. This is to protect the springs and mesh and protect the edging of the covers. Photos will follow.
And it’s tiring using the staple gun, they are made for a man’s hand and it’s difficult to get a strong grip because I can’t reach my fingers around the grip well.
I’ve sometimes had to use two hands to use a staple gun, some of them are really tricky to use.
Or you’ll really have to get your hand right around the trigger to apply enough force.
I think tortellini is actually a part of the dumpling family, not the pasta family
That’s a wild hot take, damn. Don’t tell the Italians lol
My wife is of Italian heritage and tortellini is her favourite. She’s sharpening her pitchfork as we speak 🤣
Taunt with tomato sauce, you only live once
Tomato sauce? Do you mean marina sauce? 😉
I, too, like to live dangerously!
My partner too, tbh lol!
Mention putting cream in carbonara to them, stand back, and watch them (rightly) explode :D
I’m just reminded of that clip from the UK talk show with the chef making a dish, and the host says it tastes like British carbonara. He basically implodes 😂
and if my mother had wheels, she’d be a bike!
😂😂😂😂😂 yessssss
It’s not a dumpling. Dumplings are not stuffed pastries or stuffed pasta, dumplings are small balls of dough cooked in stew to be eaten with stew.
We don’t called pierogi dumplings either do we?
It’s just the co-opting of a word .
Is a bagel bread or is it a dumpling, eh?
What ignorant people call dumplings are mini pies that are boiled.
Tortellini is fancy pasta.
Pierogis are also in the dumpling family.
Tortellini is dumpling
Words change meaning over time, this is one of them
That’s a very American argument. Americans, who use Simplified English, used dictionaries as a political tool in the war of independence and still do
They developed a descriptive dictionary so they can say their usage is just as valid 🙄
but the rest of the world, who use Traditional English, use prescriptive dictionaries so we can have agreed upon meanings and usage.
Dumpling is a Chinese word though so I don’t understand your argument
I can promise you that words changing meaning over time is not an “American Argument”. Nothing to say what you mean by “American” (us, Canada, Argentina?) .
Language has changed all the time, via slang from the poorest, or the slang of the royals and powerful people throughout history.
We don’t say *dyeu anymore, to refer to the sun-god of proto-indo-european times; we say “Zeus”, “deity”, “deva” or “Jupiter” (all come from *dyeu).
So I don’t think the Americans had any say in that. Language and the evolution of language has happened endless times throughout history.
Example from Language Jones
That’s the joy of language and language evolution imo. Anyone ever heard of the great vowel shift haha
Keep talking. I’m learning.
Between 1400 and 1700, English went through a major vowel shift that changed the way words were pronounced. The pronunciation of Middle English long vowels changed into how we pronounce them today/has affected English worldwide, and well as consotant changes (silent letters come from this, knife used have the k pronounced, and this can actually still be heard in German as well. Kneipe (German for pub/bar), for eg, is pronounced with the k).
Example, in Middle English the word “house” was pronounced hu:s “hoos”. With the Great Vowel Shift it changed to haʊs “howse”.
I love Middle English. It can look like gibberish at first, but pretend to be drunk & Scottish 98% of it works. The other words are probably Danish.
My favourite pic displaying the evolution. Middle English is still almost parsable, but old english is basically old German haha
Also the change of implication. In middle English, God sets one down in the pasture, King James says God makes one lie in pastures, but Modern has God allows one to lay in the pasture.
And the change of feohland to pasture. I love this stuff so fucking much.
That’s a pretty American argument…
Bruh 😂😂😂💀
Yes. The stuff of dinner table conversation in the family. My mum did her masters degree on Old English and Old Norse. Dad spoke fluent cockney, english and lowland scots depending on context. Tell me about it.
Naw. Wish I could invite your Dad to dinner.
More than 20 years too late for that as he passed in 2003. Born in 1911. Still miss him.
So what about Chinese dumplings then?
Nothing changed about them, they are still in the dumpling family
I think it’s a modern problem. Bao have traditionally been eaten in soup/stew but a restaurant in Shanghai started calling steamed buns dumplings.
Bao means bag , it’s a reference to filling, but dumpling is a reference to how it’s cooked.
I thought bao means bun. That’s why you only need to say bao otherwise you are saying bun bun.
I’d say bao bao and blow their minds
Edit: saying “bao bun” is equivalent to saying “naan bread” or “chai tea”; it’s basically saying “bread bread” or “tea tea”.
Bao means bun in Cantonese, and bao is a Cantonese food.
Are hot dogs sandwiches then?
I always thought of dumplings as either dough balls, or dough balls stuffed with other things.
@MeanElevator @Seagoon_
Bread crumbs wrapped in bread crumbs.
A hot dog is basically meat flavoured bread.If served on a split long roll it is a hot dog. If you cut the roll horizontally it becomes a sub. Serve three cocktail frankfurts crosswise on a round roll and it is a burger. Sliced and served between two slices of bread it the only way it becomes a sandwich. Unless you then toast it and transform it into a toastie, or toast it in a special press and turn it into a jaffle. All completely different meals.
Maybe technically but they’re still delicious!
So I ordered a parcel off of eBay, and apparently it’s being delivered by some weird company I’ve never heard of called “EMEGA”
May God have mercy on my parcel.
Cant find much on them besides their ABN being created in 2018, and they are located in NSW.
I’m not paying ASIC for the data either - I miss when I worked at the SRO and had free access 😭
I had to talk myself out of paying ASIC for the records on the company that managed property maintenance in out of home care. They’ve been doing a shitty job for the better part of a decade, seem to maintain all publicly owned properties, and organisation management always gives a “don’t even go there” response when we’ve complained about them doing shit work.
In reality, it’s probably just cause they’re the cheapest, but I went through a phase for a few months where I was CONVINCED there had to be kickbacks or some sort of relationship between the owners of this company and people working in child protection and the housing commission. Luckily I didn’t have enough spending money to buy the report at the time, and by the time I did, I’d talked myself out of it
I'm not a conspiracy nut
Except that one time when I was I guess
I’m sometimes tempted so I can work out who owns what, but as laypeople it isn’t worth it
My much-used travel mug developed a minor leak which caused it to drip on me every time I drank from it. I ordered a replacement yesterday (the exact same model) and thanks to the wonders of Amazon it was delivered today. The wonders of the modern age.
I did an ultimate lazy move today. I finished shopping at aldi, realised I needed things from Coles, grabbed them, realised I needed stuff form the fruit and veg shop, grabbed those, then realised I forgot to grab an ice cream so went back into aldi, then realised I needed oil so had to go into aldi yet another time, then I realised as I was unpacking into the car I forgot pepper. I said “fuck off I’m not going back in there for another fortnight” and looked at Amazon. Amazon sell SAXA pepper, so I ordered it, and now some poor, underpaid, exploited soul will come deliver me my 3.50 jar of pepper tomorrow :D
(I didn’t take a shopping list because I had to turf a lot of food that may have been tampered with and this is my first proper shop since getting home. It was easier to make a list of what I do have, than what I don’t, hence the spice list I posted earlier)
Kids these days. Back when I was a girl we didn’t have that fancy internet thing and people delivering groceries to our door. At your age I walked to the supermarket, half an hour each way with a backpack every week. If I needed something I forgot I just had to do without.
I think the closest you got to food delivery in those days was a Christmas hamper. Or maybe pizza delivery, I think that started when I was still in school.
