For those that drink or make coffee with froth on top.
How much is an acceptable amount of froth and how much is unacceptable?
You mean coffee froth, or milk froth?
The coffee froth is technically called ‘crema’. In my espressos I like just enough to wet my moustache.
Milk froth.
I normally order lattes.
Ah gotcha. For a latte I like a little bit of froth, but find that baristas usually put too much so I stick with flat whites mostly.
just enough to get the taste and texture of froth but I’m there for the coffee
Depends which type of coffee you want! As long as you have enough espresso I think it’s really up to you.
Hmm I don’t really understand the chart and how it corresponds to froth.
- I don’t understand this one…Not something you would really find around these parts. Filter coffee with espresso shots
it sounds beautiful
The wind is getting ferocious here.
It just started here too, just heard it.
I’m gonna become a gamer tomorrow. I’ve got the Nintendo Switch juiced up. I found a game called Warshmellows. It’s a shooty game but fun with cute and violent characters. I’m gonna see if there’s a cricket game too. Just waiting for the “technicians” to hook me up so I can practice today.
I’ve never played the Switch before. Should be fun.
Oohh sounds exciting if it’s your first time.
I just played Mario cart. I felt like I could easily break that tiny little control.
If it’s the little joycon I can understand.
Holding the unit itself on portable mode gave me hand cramps so I had to invested in a cradle/grip for the unit.
Best investment I ever made and so comfortable in portable mode.
The switch is the perfect console for lower case G gamers. It’s fun as hell!
All this fuss about a baby at comedy show. In order to be effective some performances demand that noise in the audience is controlled. Would you take a baby to a classical musical performance or an opera?
And all these false equivalence to restaurants and cafes. It’s really not the same. People go to those places specifically to converse and make noise so it’s not a problem there (or shouldn’t be).
She deliberately went into the performance knowing it might be an issue, and then is shocked pikachu when she got booted.
Also it was clearly advertised as 15plus. To me that’s not just a content warning but an indication that it’s not a kids event.
She deliberately went into the performance knowing it might be an issue, and then is shocked pikachu when she got booted.
Munchausen by proxy… sorta
used the child to get attention for herself
She 100% would be the person who takes their baby to the movies (to see a non-kids film). The entitlement is off the charts.
The “fuss” is just media hype bullshit.
Ironically, Ms Faranda was politely asked by hosts of The Project to hand her baby to her partner last night after the child’s crying disrupted the interview.
HA!!
Yeah, I took the kids out all the time when they were babies. Shops, markets, cafes etc. I never took them to a cinema or a show, because that would be inconsiderate.I’m all about parental rights, and absolutely all about parental facilities catering to dads. But my rights end at the point where they impinge on yours.
I took little miss seagoon to see bambi when she was five, matinee of course, at valhalla
I also took her to see Cats when she was about 7
here’s the thing, by considering the needs of the child the child will be content and happy and easy , any place where where the child is going to miserable you don’t take them and that also works out for the other people there
I feel so bad for that baby in the news
At five and seven there’s a good chance you can regulate behavior. It also wasn’t a comedy show targeted at adults.
The thing is when you make a mistake and everyone does, you say “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to make anyone uncomfortable and I apologise” then you end it.
Made grilled chicken with mash and Brussels for dinner, but also a casserole to simmer away. It smells bloody lovely and I can foresee a second dinner being partaken of 😆
Also I ripped out a molar which has been giving me the shits for a while, rotting away right up the back there. It feels great! I feel strangely fantastic! I can smile without something jabbing me in the cheek! I can eat without accidentally chomping down on an out of place tooth!
Sounds like a great dinner. But wait, do you mean at dentist or DIY?!
DIY. I’ve known this tooth was a gonner for over 10 years as a result of consulting a periodontist all those years ago. Lately it got a bit loose, so I’ve been working on this tooth for a month or so, just wiggling it and gently twisting. Today I figured it was probably at the stage where it’d actually come out. Horrid thing it was, glad to be finally rid of it.
Don’t know what’s better. A screaming junkie, or those Jesus pushers outside Footscray station that stop you so you have to take your headphones off.
Why stop? I just hiss at them and keep going.
When I was young and edgy, I’d tell them “nah I can’t step foot in a church, sorry, I burst into flames; I’ve tried.”
Now I just say “no thanks” and move along lol
I do a couple of sneaky deprogramming interactions. 🤭
“You must really miss your family”
“What did you used to do before you did this?” “That sounds awesome”
“Where do you see yourself in five years time?”
You. I like you.
A quick and polite ‘Hail Satan’ moves them onto another target.
I fear I may have developed a chocolate pudding addiction. I have had chocolate pudding with custard for dessert 3 nights in a row, and now I have some in the oven for lunch. If this continues I may end up having breakfast pudding.
Electrical Safety guy came from Smart house. Everything is good! Which means my broken microwave can be returned to the Good Guys haha! If it wasn’t the magnetron that died, I would give it to my Opa to fix, but knowing him he’d irradiate himself or something 🤦♀️
Had a lovely chat with the tech, though, apparently Detector Inspector has bought Smart house lol. See how that pans out, considering Detector Inspectors schedulers are in Manila, and we all know my feelings on scheduling being outsourced to another country (they don’t realize how long it takes to get across any of our cities 😑, not blaming them of, blaming the companies that outsource like that).
Quitting smoking is going well, was super cranky last week due to not having it and also having that inspection. Luckily they didn’t spot the parts of the carpet that the carpet moths got to, but I blame the LL for installing wool-blend carpet - stupid fuck. Besides, if we stay here long enough, we could prolly chalk it up to wear and tear lol.
The cat has come out of hiding, and is begging for a cuddle. I must oblige him.
Hot take Tuesday. Whenever I’m scrolling on news sites or the other place and I come across headings like “What is this thing?” or “You’ll never guess what someone found in their Big Mac?” I don’t want to know. I’m not clicking.
Piggybacking off from you I hate news articles that tease something then it ends with “Click here to find out!”
Pisses me off to no end.
Also I had to look up the interview news about the baby and The Project.
Sky news and News.com.au have the headlines of the “host mocked for interview”
Most other news outlet are neutral with their headlines but the vitriol of sky news and News.com.au is disgusting.
ABC is unreadable these days
I feel bad for kids who will grow up not knowing what they’ve missed (by extension I’d be the same, I never really experienced Australia prior to 2009 when I first arrived). The new normal…
The Age in the 80s-90s was excellent, before and after, not so good.
Same.
I can’t be bothered with teaser headings, that includes on news articles.
@Seagoon_ @CEOofmyhouse56 And more often than not, the answer is lame.
“You’ll never believe what this '90s heartthrob looks like now!”
It looks like him, but 30 years older.
And I would believe it, because he was famous 30 years ago.
“You’ll never believe what the kids of this celebrity are doing now!”
Going to uni.
Because they’re in their early 20s.
i hate news headlines
“Ukraine will get its U.S. funding. But can that turn the tide?”
and don’t get me started on “hush money” 😡
“X happened, will the reserve bank lower interest rates?”
😱
Celebrities with lookalike kids. Yep. That’s usually how it works.
chicken curry is cooking, smells good, I hope it will be enough for 3 nights
I got the full story about that guy I’ve mentioned the other day.
Everything I’ve told him in confidence has been spread around. People I haven’t met, know about my substance issues from the past.
I am so fucking angry right now. But, it will pass.
He’s dead to me.
Ugh. That is awful. What a POS.
I’m so sorry.
I was thinking about what you wrote, how he was doing things to teach people a lesson.
That’s just crazy, what would be the point?
It’s really just sadism framed with words that blame the victim.
He’s a bad person.
Thank you. I’ve been stewing about it most of the day, but it’s passed now. I blocked him on everything. I hate losing a friend, but this guy definitely isn’t one.
Is this the bloke who use you as an emotional crutch whilst he fucks away his life?
Maaaaan how pathetic do you have to be that someone respectfully tells you that they need space so you proceed to dump on them to make yourself feel better? Dudes done you a favor bro, hes made a very clear statement: “I’m a piece of shit and your time spent being my friend is wasted”.
Also its 2024, if other folks dunk on you for overcoming a substance abuse issue that’s just more trash taking itself out.
Exactly right mate. At the end of the day, it’s out there now. It took a metric fucktonne of effort, work and willpower to get where I am. I’m over being ashamed of it.
I’m over being ashamed of it.
damn fucking straight! you should be proud as shit bro
Is this the one who’s been self destructing?
I’m sorry gibsy. I’m not sure this is the case, although it probably does feel like it but I’m sure you won’t be judged about your past as much as it feels like you might. Those people don’t even know you, they’re probably not likely to pass too much judgement
Try not to let it affect your trust too much (which I realise is easier said than done). There’s still good people out there, and speaking from experience, isolating yourself won’t help
That’s the one. Yeah the first thing in my mind is “fuck this, never trusting anyone again”, but ultimately that’s the wrong option. I can’t let a shitty experience stop me from an important part of relationships with people. I’ll just have to be much, much more observant of people before I discuss certain topics.
And totally agree about the self isolating. I do that too and it never works out well in the long run.
Good night everyone. Sleep well. 😽
G’night S.G
I was so stressed earlier today that it triggered my asthma and I was getting really short on breath. That was a experience as a new asthma sufferer. Many Ventolin puffs and a good gym session later, feeling much more relaxed. Night rain helps too although it’s really coming down.
I uninstalled Path Of Exile without even playing it again because I knew the outcome would be headaches and nausea. Why do that to myself? The choices are limited because of preferring free games and having a Mac but I’ll find something else.
Also I’ve been hunting down free public domain art books from reputable sources because I don’t want to go to random sites for downloads or click on random Google Drive links.
Is all the stuff from Project Gutenberg legal to download and share? I found some on the Internet Archive too but while it says most of their stuff is legal they did get dinged for copyright infringement. (I applaud archiving and preserving despite legality, but do not have the money to potentially get sued.)
There is a free Art library and book exchange near Victoria Market. Free art books! The range is dependent on donations.
The new cordless 2-in-1 stick vac actually is fairly quiet on the low setting.
There are a few drawbacks. Like it’s not that powerful on the low setting so might take a few passes (and lifting it a bit) for bigger particles like tracked paper litter, the canister fills up fairly quickly with cat hair, and the filter might be harder to clean + no replacement filters on sale because Kmart. No upholstery attachment, only one crevice tool with brush.
But it’s a lot easier to use, folds down small, the handheld pops out easily and the sound is not too bothersome to Melbcat. Alright for quick cleans.
I have found the vacuum cleaner that is quick and easy to use is the one that keeps carpets cleaner.
Yeah, the screaming one with the cord and the broken remove-handle button works better - but only gets used once in a while, during the day, and in a different room to the cat
