56… So young.

So sad! Oh no.

There’s a great podcast called “You’re Wrong About” which they take things that we might have one idea about when actually… it’s wrong. I mean the name explains itself. They did an episode April of this year about Sinead O’Connor. It’s a good episode.

I’m sorry friend. Sending you my love and thoughts in this difficult time 💜💜💜

Poor precious. Strength to you and a gentle passing for kitty when the time is right.

gentle hugs

Pretty sad news :(

Maybe a chill night tonight and not too much drinkies, especially after the other day and also with the potential with hearing back about the job you interviewed for incase there’s a bit of follow up.

🤞your dense, silly, starchy self is lovely!

I downloaded Mlem for iOS today and it just made Lemmy even better. Very similar to Apollo and I loved that app

Hello!!! Welcome!

Normally I might suggest a light dal with tomatoes, carrot, and cauliflower - the moisture would nicely round out the dryness of the chicken and rice while still being hearty and filling for a winters night. But that is perhaps a bit overkill.

Stir fried green beans and onions with a pinch of turmeric would go nicely. If you have any whole spices, a small amount of black mustard seed and cumin or fennel seed quickly tempered in the oil at the start really adds that Indian flavour without being overpowering. I add chilli flakes to the oil as well when I add the onions. Here is an example using powdered spices and no onion but it’s a very versatile and simple dish - as the link suggests, use frozen sliced green beans to make it much faster.

Or, quite honestly, a plain raw salad - tomatoes, shredded carrot, lettuce - with a very light dressing lemon or vinaigrette would do the trick, lots of south Asians will have it that way at home - again for the freshness and moisture, and acidity from the tomatoes, but without the intense flavour of a chutney.

I’d go with some green beans or sauteed spinach. Chutney is a condiment so a generous dollop on the side of a plate is all you need.

Spinach and pumpkin curry is a simple Indian vegetable dish. Or maybe an eggplant curry?

Make a few Indian veg dishes to go on the side. Eg Saag. Welcome to the other place.

cauliflower , potato with curry powder and coconut milk

vegetable medley!! broccolini chopped into half or thirds, spinach, cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds, and any sauces/oils. Put the broccolini into a pan first, then tomates, then spinach last. Add/remove other veggies as wanted (i like adding sliced capsicum) and it goes with most dishes. Sauces/oils can be changed up depending on the main dish it is being served with.

Makes you wonder how much has changed over the years or if nothing has changed at all doesn’t it?

I’ve never had good experiences with teachers that have been teaching for a long time. I mean kids tend to be little shits and I absolutely get they can’t always hold it together dealing with everything day in and day out, but the only teachers I’ve had that I’d consider bullies had all been teaching for 2+ decades

I sometimes wonder about this sort of thing. As a computer nerd in the 80’s I did not have a good time in High School. On the other hand, I was an annoying, arrogant little snot. I would not want to be judged today on my 16-19 year-old self.

But though I was a pain, I was never (intentionally) abusive or hurtful to people. So, to what extent do we judge people 20 years later on their teenage personalities? Frankly, there are maybe half a dozen people in my whole year group I’d be interested in seeing again. But that doesn’t on its own mean I expect all the rest to have ended up as horrible people.

Ikwym I’ve had the odd glance over there and it just made me a little sad at what happened to fracture what was imo a great sub. Now that we are a fractured social media population, I think the kindness and support has mostly migrated here.

I liked playing the “Barbie or Oppenheimer” game with people watching. Wasn’t too hard lol but fun looking at the fashions

For what is essentially a toy ad, it had no right to be that good.

Does not surprise me.

There are towns in Europe that are known nazi towns. People move there on purpose or move out.

shit. that’s all I have

You’re doing all the right things. If these fail, then try doing the hottest possible cycle with a couple of dishwasher tablets thrown into the machine. This can damage the seal, but then so can mould. I would also check the filter again after and remove anything that cleaning the drum has shaken loose and flushed.
It might be time to broach the subject of getting the seal replaced with the owners. If the washer is under warranty that won’t cost a cent but if not, then will need a repairman to call plus cost of parts.

I didn’t realise I had no short sleeve shirts that don’t have graphic tees so I asked my boss if I could wear the graphic shirts and he said it’s fine.

Whoo!

That’s about all you can do. See if you can put another lot of washing cleaner in, put it on the hottest, longest setting possible and then open it and the drawer to air dry.

I have switched off my heating, but am sitting in my heavist woolen jumper with a blanket on my lap. I was just thinking of taking Mr Woof for an afternoon walk in the sunshine in the hopes of warming up a bit (whatever the opposite of hooray is for an uninsulated house!)

I think I’m doing better than you on the washing machine front, I have just run a load and there is definitely no mould in there.

It’s a chromosome lol

That’s a two for one deal.

Can be rattling when most of a department is set loose. I ended up leaving my last long-term job (in 2019) when a new GM came in and fired half of our billing and customer service teams. Told her to suck my dick on the way out and now can’t use her as a ref lol.

If you do end up leaving, because the culture and attitudes have changed, do not burn bridges 😅

I’m sorry to hear that. What will it mean for you in the future and for your team?

Losing more than half the people is devastating if the remaining needs to shoulder the burden of those who left.

I feel like this is happening quite a bit across the board. Companies have made cuts before the EOFY and either there will be no replacement or any roles not filled will be challenged and made difficult to approve. Other than people who may have got a promotion out of the latest restructure, everyone else is confused, pissed off, or both. Weird, uncertain, and crazy times.
