How much would you pay for this big breakfast?
Answer
$22 at my local Vietnamese joint. Such good value.
Agree that’s great value. These days it’s standard to pay $25 for avocado toast that comes with 1 slice of bread, some greying avocado and 1 egg. Oh, and don’t forget the 4 sprigs of micro herbs on top and a half teaspoon smear of beetroot relish on the plate which is useless to scrape up onto the food.
It pays to live in a povo suburb. This place is an absolute gem.
didn’t see the snozzage, $20
Where sauce?
On the table. This was before it got smothered in hot sauce.
Nice
Such good value
You don’t think so?
It’s been a while since going out for brekkie for me so can’t comment lol. Looks good though :)
I’m in no condition to be cooking a hot meal on Saturday morning so if someone wants to cook me a breakfast I’ll pay anything. This wasn’t mine btw. This was mine.
mr seagoon’s fave brekkie
I’ll take your one
I’ve spent all day sleeping and lying in the dark. I just don’t want to be awake.
so many hugs
sometimes grief is like that
First!!!
I have managed to go out and get fed and get supplies so I can shelter in place the rest of the weekend. I live right on Albert Park lake and it’s madness everywhere, and very noisy
I could hear the noise when I was at the beach, the sound echoed over the water
Cheers all! From me and my glass of morning dew eating apple wine.
cheers 🍺🐱
Oh gosh the body is SORE. Did a Pilates core workout that really hit me when I got up to pee at 4am. Had to do today’s squats in small chunks, but got them done in between a trip out to the Yarra Valley for cheese and wine.
Ouch! I did my extremely slow and gentle squats after a trip to IKEA with the kids. I’ve been looking into equipment-free exercises for toning and improving my shape without trashing my joints. Today I did a few exercises from a chair (seated) workout video. It seems like nothing doing at first, but by the time you hit the 50ish mark you’re starting to feel odd muscles activate. I never got the hang of Pilates, I think I’d have to do it in front of a mirror to get it right and there’s insufficient space in front of mirrors at my place.
stayed up late, had a bit of sleep in
I’m allowed to have a long weekend too!
I stayed up working until 7am, then slept the rest of the morning in preparation for working again tonight.
Two 12 hour night shifts certainly make it feel like I’m having a very loooong weekend too!
I sometimes miss having a long weekend at the same time as everyone else, but condensing all the work into 12 hour shifts basically means I get a long weekend every week, so I can’t really complain! And they pay out the day off in leiu for the public holiday, so the extra pay this week is a bit nice as well.
Feeling blah today. Still, second load of washing is on so that’s something. I’m pep talking myself into tackling the folding basket.
I;m going into brunnie and the italian supermarket , is there anything anyone wants
Cannoli…!
Thank god I did not forget.
Cheeses please
Interesting shapes of pasta please
Can I please get some chinotto and cold cuts?
Some teenagers beat up and actually killed a guy at our local train station. Of course all the Facebook comments are about machetes, making sure they get tried as adults, and whether they’re out on bail already.
I’d like to know whether the attack was random or if they knew the guy. We’ve almost made it illegal for kids to be online or outside, so what do people expect them to do? The only people who care about what kids are up to are people who hate them and don’t want to see kids anywhere. If only we had some larger social project kids could feel like a part of
How dare they be young in public! No good will come of this! /s
I do agree that some kind of social project would be helpful - sport and religion used to do this function, but nowadays religion has been hijacked by extremists (of all kinds) and is no longer even geographically inclusive, and sport is either too ‘professional’ or is too much bother/expense to be inclusive. There really isn’t an obvious forum of endeavour for those that aren’t ‘good at sport’ or whatever.
My thesis is that the most addictive drug in the whole universe is - excellence. Once experienced, nothing else comes close. I fully endorse mobilizing community resources to find forums of endeavour that allow nearly everybody to experience excellence in some form or another.
That’s horrific. But I really really really don’t agree with the explanation for murder being because someone was banned from social media or didn’t play outside enough, so of course they’re gonna go murdering?! You’re right about one thing though, these kids are growing up in families where no one cares about them. The parents are disinterested in what the kid is doing socially, where they are at 3am on a Tuesday, if they are doing ok in school, if the 10 knives and 3 machetes the kid has in their bedroom seems normal. The kids themselves are motivated by approval of their peers, kudos, and no repercussions. I don’t know what the answer is.
I don’t mean there’s a direct link between the social media ban and attacks like these, more that so much effort is spent legislating kids out of public life instead of finding ways to engage with them
After hearing so much anticipation about the upcoming movie, I’m currently at chapter 4 of Project Hail Mary (Audiobook). I am not disappointed.
I’m up to chapter 8 and really enjoying it! It’s been so easy to apply Ryan Gosling’s voice to the main character.
I remember reading something that said Andy Weir had Ryan in mind when writing the book or something along those lines
I don’t remember there being so much interest in an upcoming movie from this group before
people are desperate for a NEW sci fi story
star trek is 60 years old, star wars is 50, marvel is also over 50 years old , alien is over 40, etc etc
looking at some trailers it reminds me of when I visited the ISS at Cape Canaveral, everything white/off white, cylindrical rooms just covered in controls, every inch utilised and kind of furnishings in the walls
Woooo join the club!!
I had a breakthrough today in some of my understanding of relativistic physics. 🐱🚀
I think. 🤔
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
spoiler
so if tau ceti is 13 light years away , it takes HM 4 years to get there and only just over 2 years for the beatles to get back, it’s still 13 years Earth time for the HM and 13 for the beatles , regardless of how fast they go, because each is measuring time and distance differently and velocity is not additive
Yep. That seems right. Everyone has their own rulers and clocks. It’s all consistent within the observers frame. The paradox only happens when you try to reconcile between the two.
I studied relativity - it was my favourite (general relativity even more!)
🐱
I swear it busts my brain , mainly the part where distance increases between two points when a body slows down
Yeah it’s wild! We didn’t study it until 3rd year uni and we all had these exact conversations! It’s mind-blowing but fun when you realise you grasp a little piece
I just wish the tv ads would stop so I don’t keep getting Oasis stuck in my head
The only ad I have seen is on the sides of buses
I was thinking about buying a few more food storage containers and somehow ended up ordering a cutlery set instead.
I wanna get glass or stainless for meal prep storage but haven’t found anything I like. Ikea has glass but it reviewed badly on Oz bargain.
Kmart has a range of glass containers that I quite like. The lids are weird with a little pop up button and you CAN’T open the container until you pop up the button. Found that out the hard way.
Yes. Mine are not square but rectangular and have green not blue silicone, and plain glass not ribbed glass walls.
Glass more practical if you plan to microwave straight in the container. Stainless is lighter and won’t break if you drop it. Dilemmas!
Mostly looking to reduce the plastic touching food pathway. I currently microwave in a bowl with a plate on it. But my tubs are showing some wear.

Reporting in.
3 hours sleep last night for no fun reason.
Utterly wrecked today.
Hello ipad, pirated PC games and my guitar.
Also the cat.
Imagine being the first homo sapien to pat a wolf?
There is a human, long deceased and who’s name is lost to time, who got to be the first to pay a dog.
And to all those that thought it would be fun to pat a sabre tooth, poisonous frog, giant bears etc, the gene pool thanks you for your service.
Nowadays, fast cars, meth and firearms are doing quite a good job in weeding a lot of non-viable idiots out of the gene pool. Especially in combination.
Imagine losing your arm to a wolf, then a few thousand years of selective breeding your ancestor loses a toe to an aggressive inbred pug.
Edit:
The movie Alpha covers this, sort of. It’s fiction, nice caveman dog fiction. Not a deep film but nice.
