    For me, just over three hours left of lentish. I may have some intoxicated morning rants hitting around eleven am tomorrow. Be forewarned.

    I tried a YT short recipie for dins tonight. Mostly for shits & giggles, but it worked. Chicken ‘fried’ in water. I used drumsticks cos cheeep so no weeping if I had to toss it. It was quite nice. Will do this again, but with the recommended wings. Sauce was gorgeous in texture but I should have used a tad bit more chili and less mustard. Worth trying.

    The change of seasons has well and truly finally hit. Feeling a bit of a cold-ish headache from not adjusting to the temp difference properly and returning to a whole day of desktop work after ages… Gonna buy some soup, chug hot herbal tea, and have an early night. This will be my last long work week before I throw myself at uni hardcore.

    Assignments due in 10, 14, 16, 20 and 21 days. I will not procrastinate anymore. I feel like I’ve almost left the 10 days one too late. Time to break down each into steps and give meself some faux deadlines. I can do this.

    So, Peter Khalil dropped in today.

    I went to the door expecting to have to shoo away a salesperson, and was so surprised that I couldn’t think of any good questions to ask at the time. I did say I wouldn’t be voting for Peter Dutton, though

      On paper, Wills is a blue-ribbon Labor seat - Bob Hawke’s old seat.
      But a third of voters there went Green in 2022. He should be getting out and meeting people/listening to them. They can’t take this seat for granted any more.

    Had a nap after my whinge (thank you for your kind words 💜💜), then went to Savers and got two shirts for partner’s new job, and two pairs of jeans for myself for under $50 in total.

    Then got a massive haul of groceries from Aldi. I transferred $120 to my paying card but it only cost ~$50 all up for all of it. Stuck in the expensive Colesworth mind lol

    Edit: oh and I applied for a few shelters as a volunteer, hopefully I can get a place at one of them as it’s a requirement to have placement for the Cert IV in Vet Nursing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Got tired of my yt-algo so I looked up how to delete my history, pretty easy actually. Hopefully whatever it re-learns about me doesn’t send my down a pile of right wing kak. I’ll need to watch a bunch of lindybeige and philosophy tube to refocus it on my interests.

      Basic I know, but search for stuff you’re interested in. I get Aviation and Naval history, Some Marvel, whatever is going on at DashCams Australia, British Panel shows/Taskmaster and maybe some Star Wars/Trek stuff mostly.

      What you don’t click on matters as much as what you do. Oh, I always mark Shorts as “Not Interested”, even if I would actually be interested. I despise short-form videos and would disable them entirely if I could. I can kill them for 30 days at a time on my iPad.

      Mine seems pretty easy to train. It didn’t take much for it to start serving me up Jon Stewart, Robert Reich, Jesse Welles, Fairburn Films, retro comedy like Fast Forward and The D Generation and random stuff like this

            I felt all my YT became guns, knives, calisthenics, and lawn care rescue videos with a smattering of why women and immigration are ruining the world. The shows I like are because they’re not hater content, I don’t need to get the hater versions of those.
