Just had a look at windy.com - there's a nice little batch of rain headed our way. Which the garden sorely needs.

Contemplating having a drink tonight. Margaritas or Hard Solos. Hmm.
Margaritas. The salt will replace what you lose to sweat in the heat today. Plus hard solo is just expensive solo and vodka.
First up, I'm inside with the air con on. Still working hard but without the sweat.
Secondly, 30 pack of Solo + Smirnoff = Hard Solo or harder Solo if I choose to. Yeah pre-mixed Hard Solos are ok for travellers but I'm at home. And this is what I have chosen.

Urg. Doubted the rant so it's gone. Still feel yucky. Time for some vodka.
The ice cream van drove by 🥰🍦
there's a place at qvc that sells yoghurt soft serve, maybe I can go halves or thirds
noooo, I must not , I had mousse yesterday
I eat ice cream every day and I've lost 10kg in 3 months. Portion control & prioritisation. You need some joyful food.
Living on cardboard isn't sustainable for me, it needs to be a lifestyle change I can stick to long-term.
And frozen yogurt especially is pretty low in calories.

Cherry tart update: The tart was transported in the tin, and was also successfully removed and held up well to being sliced. It was very yummy, my sister and I split the leftovers. I just had another piece as a pre-brdtime snack.
awesoooome
i have never made cherry pies or tarts with fresh cherries, you have inspired me 🙂
Has anyone ever plugged their desktop pc into a large 4k TV for gaming?
If so, how was it?
Theres a game I want to play with friends but it's only on pc and I don't want to sit at my desk to play it.
Curious what other peoples experiences are.
I’ve ever only done it via a laptop with a direct hdmi connection.
With my pc I had to use steam link which went through the network. Sort of worked but crashed eventually after playing around with it for a couple of hours.

after much fucking around i got some new accounts
i wonder if I use a different browser on reddit i can avoid the block, still blocked
Use Opera, turn the built in VPN on and use a temporary email service to make a new account. It takes a while and you may go through a few accounts on the way. Avoid the subreddits you might've been blocked from. Lookup the list of bots that handle the blocking and block those too. Eventually you can change the email to your usual and you won't need to use Opera to access it. I added a counter to my username and added one to each new account. I'm blocked by IP on r/Australia. I'm still avoiding it for lentish and missing it less and less.

I'm rewatching Arrival after having watched Mickey 17 yesterday and going "what was that movie where they try to talk to the aliens". It's cracking me up that the top realdebrid result is from a torrent titled "41 best movies to watch when stoned (all High IMDB)"
I really couldn't remember so much from this movie though, so it's kind of nice watching it all over again. Can't believe it's 9 years old. I suppose in a few years the movie will finally be dated by the fact that they didn't use AI to analyse the aliens' language immediately
