Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
It’s reasonable to pack 6 pairs of undies and 6 pairs of socks for a 3 day(3 night) trip right?!
Yep, what if you shit yourself everyday and then step in it?! Maybe chuck in another pair just in case.
Apart from metal and glass I honestly think recycling is a complete scam.
Why do you think that? Australia is one of the highest recyclable markets for all sorts of things .Paper and cardboard is 87%.
I would be interested to know how they calculated that statistic. The website does have sources listed but it’s so small and blurry I can’t read it.
Suffice to say I’m very skeptical the figure would be so high and I suspect it’s an overestimation.
For example, a lot of cardboards can’t be recycled if they are contaminated in some way (ie food containers), and I would suggest a lot of cardboard that gets used is probably contaminated.
Collect it, stuff it in a warehouse and then problem solved. Other option is to send it overseas to pollute someone else’s country. Then encourage everyone to consume more stuff, because the economy must have endless growth, or else.
Totally tired from peeling 80kg of potatoes at work today. I rarely do that many in one sitting these days as my labour is more valuable in other areas of the factory. Forgot to use allergy spray and felt randomly itchy all day, and my eyes were 😵💫 which I haven’t had before. Got home and cooked dinner and accidentally overcooked the steak whilst I was distracted by laundry related tasks, dammit. The Minipeelers were good about it thankfully.
A Bill and Ted Cat story.
Ted Cat has food issues, he can’t seem to control himself, is aggressive and has a tendency to eat anything. Last week he scoffed a piece of corn chip I dropped.
Happened again today but this time Bill showed Ted that he shouldn’t eat corn chips, it’s not good food. Bill went up to the chip and shied away. After that Ted stopped licking the chip and pushed it away.
Bill is looking after Ted, teaching him things he should know but seems to have miss out on learning when he was kitten.
This is heartwarming. After the initial suspicion, it seems Bill Cat is being ‘mother’. So lovely to hear that Ted Cat is being civilised for life in a home.
I don’t know where the day has gone. Feels like I didn’t do much and not helped by the 4 hour nap I accidentally fell into this evening.
RIP day off :(
