I’ve been unemployed since November. It was a time that should have been really happy, and it was for a while, but mostly it’s been the exact kind of stress described by Sunil here.
I start a new job tomorrow morning, it’s only a few months contract, but it’s something.
In the end, Tacos was the only thing I liked using Quorn for, I think because even with beef mince tacos I would spice it with so much cumin and paprika.
But it was really good for tacos.
When I used it for bolognese, just awful.
Just putting an opinion out there, I don’t know how widely liked it is. Quorn was not a good alternative (I say this purely based on personal taste).
Started eating it in 2010, but haven’t touched it since 2019 with all the other alternatives that you can easily get now.
Coles branded seitan was really our favourite but they discontinued it.
Anyway, the amount of stuff I always had to add to Quorn to make it taste alright… what a time.
But yeah, I’m a meat eating guy and my partner is vegetarian, but for a while now I’ve been mixing it up with fake meats to try and eat less red meat.
One of my favourite songs of all time.
The albums Supporting Caste and Failed States blew this one away, but the song itself is at least top 3 Propagandhi.
Yes, with Mandriva. I had just switched from 98 to Xp and was like “No, no, no, this sucks!”.
Mandriva looked so nice in comparison. But no internet, it just wouldn’t connect and I didn’t know how to troubleshoot it.
Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.
I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.
None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.
By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.
Appimage. I oily use a few of them, and manage them with GearLever.

With how reliable and useless AI is, it would probably just rename the file with .png on the end.
When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.
Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.
I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?
We have a bunch of these ceramic pots which often come as gifts when people give us plants.
No drainage holes. What use are they? They’re so small I think only succulents would be an option, but wouldn’t they just rot in water?
I’m not active enough of an internet guy to remember to actually post stuff - so we’re going back 6 months…
I surprised my daughter (and the entire family) on Christmas morning when they found this waiting in the living room. I hadn’t told my partner I’d been working on anything, kept it quiet.
It’s all just pine, dressed all round. Had to go buy a cheap and nasty jigsaw to cut the doors and opening between floors since my coping saw broke whilst trying to work this (handle snapped clean off, thanks Stanley)
The roof- cut at an angle, turned one piece over and glued it. Then stood like a statue holding it for half an hour pressing it against the ground until it dried enough. Couldn’t think of any other way to hold it tight at that angle -_-
The floors and balcony are all slotted into through dados. Cut, chiseled and then cleaned up a bit with trim router. And I hate so much working pine with chisels! (I’ve since got a bigger router bit that would have made this much easier)
Finished with water based Jarrah stain, with water based acrylic paint on the roof and “bathroom”. Some of that finish is really sloppy, I was still out there late on Christmas Eve trying to get the last few coats on.
A leftover sheet of mdf (think about 5mm) just painted and nailed in as the back wall.
There’s a little set of stairs on the ground floor finished with dark carnauba wax. There’s also a little rope ladder going up to the top floor - was from our pet bird who had left us recently.
A whole mish mash of different ideas here, but I just wanted to make something fun and interesting for my daughter.
For what I wanted to do for her first big Christmas (just turned 3), this turned out better than I thought I could do.
Finally completed a bed for my 3 year old daughter. This was my first project in 20 years, so it’s taken me about 9 months of relearning techniques, practicing, finding the right tools, and just finding time really.
Originally was just M&T and half lap joins, but when setting up I decided it was a little too wiggly so I put 38mm and 17mm angle brackets to reinforce it.
Mostly construction lumber from local hardware shop. A few pieces “feature pieces”, Blackbutt and Macrocarpa. Finished with walrus furniture oil. The slats were cut down from someone selling off pieces of their bed on marketplace. (?)
Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.
Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.
