Tbh while I wouldn't care about the mod existing it sounds like something that would draw a lot of hate to the comments section, so I could see why they don't want that.

Wrong. I saved up for a house deposit and bought one a couple of years.

They can report unusual bugs though and SHOULD be competent enough to write good bug reports

Oh I absolutely expect morale to tank. We barely have parking at all, the office is large enough for about 25% of the company, the parking is enough for 5% of the seats in the office.

I am hoping I can get it down to once a month, at that point its no worse than commuting into town for retail every day as far as total commuting time each month. The pay I get is barely over minimum wage so that is hardly a benefit compared to retail. Full WFH is pretty much the only benefit that is worth anything.

Then at once a month hopefully avoid coming in for a few of them. Plan holiday for the days we were going to be in, that kind of thing.

€7.20 prescription? Fuck that is so cheap. I had to pay £9.90 for a prescription fee as I don't get them for free since getting full time employment.

Could use those circular filters stacked on each other and a fan at the top. Name it my column.

Didgeridoo air filter is also tempting me now.

Bought a house a couple of years ago, just as Truss fucked up the economy so my mortgage sucks. 2 year fix ends soon though so hopefully the rate will drop. Tempting to keep paying the same amount though as I know I am able to and then cut many years off it. Or perhaps even aim to pay a bit more and cut over a decade off. Reducing the size of the debt faster also should mean I can extend the payback period if I have financial issues and its not as much of a problem as there would be more time to work with.

30% Jewish, 27% Muslim, 58% Christian, 33% atheist. A very odd mix to estimate.

Don't most people have access to personal hardware while at work?

Maybe but we don't know where this is, stair styles could vary in different regions.

Scrolling through indeed right now, its not great. Maybe just give up trying to find anything I have skills for and find something unskilled?

But I think my contract states once a month in the office so if I can argue that its probably worth staying and just going through a shit commute once a month. Still not great but probably slightly better than taking a local retail job.

And I just found out I need a new job as we are being ordered into the office after they moved it 50 miles away.

Things are not looking good. I think they will hit us with another round of redundancies after some people leave too.

 

Made this handline a little while ago, I would like to tidy it up but the wood is split a bit so I would probably make a new one rather than touch this one up. Likely let the wood dry too quickly but it wasn't in the best condition when I found it anyway.

There is a grove cut in that the line wraps around, although there is so much line that the grove could probably be a bit deeper. Normal fishing line, then the string wrapped around and tied in a clove hitch to help hold the fishing line together. The end has a swivel attached so I can then clip on the hook and weight, it creates a weak point so that if it gets stuck the weak point will break first and leads to much less fishing line left in the water. Although don't really like the idea of leaving any fishing line so the V2 will use all natural string/cordage, may even go for a stone as a weight. Metal hooks do rust away quickly in sea water but a wooden hook is tempting, it only needs to hold the bait on the line so pushing a toggle through the bait could be an option. Crabs don't get hooked, they just hold onto the bait.

When putting bait in it quickly got the attention of 2 spider crabs who decided to fight over the bait for a while before they went for the bait, if I had a larger net I could probably have scooped them up there and then but I wasn't expecting to catch something so large. Only expected shore crabs.

Should probably go again, didn't have a large enough tub to take him home for dinner.

 

Had a kelly kettle for a while and love just how quickly it boils water once a fire is going in it. Isn't visible in the picture but the base is propped up on a stand so it isn't in direct contact with the ground.

Has anyone else got a similar stove or just generally has good recipes that can be made quickly by adding hot water? Other than pots of instant soup/noodles I have found porridge is a fairly easy one to make by just grinding up some oats at home in a spice grinder and mix with some dried fruit then when I am out all I need is to add hot water.
