Thanks for asking this, I was wondering the same thing, this week, when changing door handles, too!

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•An AI startup founder says he's planning a 'March for Billionaires' in protest of California's wealth taxEnglish
2·4 days agoThis would be hilarious!
There was no internet for me, growing up. When I was 10, we moved to a place on the edge of the main suburbs, backing onto bushland, in Australia, with massive mountains surrounding us, so much wildlife and moss and so many species of flora. And! There was an old broken, partly abandoned chook shed, with a creaky door. The place was magical. We took all the buckets we could find, me, my sister and all my cousins, mostly all girls, (the two youngest were boys, we included them too) would make huge concoctions with moss and the varying brush species around. We would send off parties to gather supplies for the steeping concoctions. We would pretend we had gone on massive journeys with battles, to gather the vital life saving precious flowers or interesting twigs. We’d be at it all day. When we weren’t doing that, I would be off hiking in the mountains, by myself, just for fun.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Got any good cheap and quick meal tips?
3·4 days agoAny tinned beans are ready to eat, just rinse and heat a little (a minute in the microwave, give or take). I’m super time poor, So lately I’ve been mixing a few varieties of beans, with some just defrosted peas and corn, and some dip and corn chips, if im feeling fancy. Damn it’s yummo!
I use about 1/2 cup peas corn, microwave for 30 sec to 1 min, in a little water, drain.
Pour in 1/3c (odd) of whatever beans you like (I go with black beans, chick peas, and lentils)
Microwave 30 seconds.
Add lemon juice to taste. Pour on whatever dressing you want for flavour. (Tzatziki, 2tbsp or vinegarette, or salsa, endless options)
Then you can use it like a chunky salsa / dip, eat with corn chips. Or as is.
Or eat with rice or noodles.
I have at times added cheese or a chicken schnitzel.

26·4 days agoI don’t think these rattle heads, actually plan to march, I think he thinks he will order a march, and all the people currently marching that he sees, love him so much and support his “deserving” lifestyle so much, they’ll all march for him. He’s putting in orders for you to march for him, on his behalf, and he absolutely believes it’ll happen in troves.
Growth mindset. Brilliant and fun scientists, too. But if you’re interested in adopting their mindset for yourself, just in every day life, look up fixed and growth mindset.
Thanks, I needed that.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Tourists traveled to Australia for its famous hot springs. There was just one problem – they didn’t existEnglish
2·9 days agoWeird, I’m in Tasmania and I’ve been seeing an unusual amount of people with coats and two suitcases, trying to get on the busses. (It’s summer here). But also, there are hot springs, here. Look up Hastings caves.

My grandson has taken multiple of my phones for a bath, they all said waterproof. Guess why I said multiple phones. Well, some he broke by smashing them.
Fun times!
Problem with the waterproof rating with phones is they heat up, or overheat, one day and bam, no more waterproofing. I definitely wouldn’t recommend pushing it.

WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•Those of you who have been pregnant, at which point did it become noticeable?
7·10 days agoI was probably more like 5 to 6 months before it was even slightly really noticeable, probably 7 months on, before it’s definitely noticeable it’s a pregnancy belly. From that time on I was stopped constantly and talked to about it. Then constantly stopped for people to speak to me about my baby, especially the last one, she must have been especially cute, because I couldn’t take two steps in public without someone stopping me to ask the same questions, the person two steps earlier had had asked. It drove me mad a little. Worst thing about it was, my little one was terrified of strangers, and she would dig her little head into my shoulder to try and hide from them, and I had to explain to people she’s scared of strangers, sorry we couldn’t stop to talk.
You can’t really tell through clothing, until further along. And the first few months make you lose weight faster than you’re gaining it, because you’re burning so much building a whole human.
From 4 months I had that hard protrusion oval shape, start poking out. If I were wearing a bikini, you could have told i was pregnant from looking at me from 4 months, possibly.
How far along are you?

WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•If you could instantly master one hobby, what would you pick?
1·11 days agoMy Dad is a mechanic, he taught my brother, they fine tune race cars together. I, being afab, although deeply interested, wasn’t included. There’s a tafe course near me, that does the basics, if you want to go into an apprenticeship, I desperately want to go. I already have my electrotechnology cert 2. I couldn’t pursue it as a career, the electrician thing, because I have kids and no one to watch them. It was so weird being the only woman among men in the elctro course. I loved the learning, though.

World News@quokk.au•Australia spends more on tax breaks for landlords than social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined
1·11 days agoAlso, and huge chunk of people get their political ideology from 1% propaganda producing factories like a current affair, and such. They have always believed “the news” are rusted on in whatever the billionaire owners tell them to believe. If a progressive policy is attempted, the propaganda machine just runs some rage bait article to emotionally manipulate those rusted in cult viewers, and bam, too much pressure, days later they’ll withdraw the policy. Hence the hostile take over of tiktok, it had and used the ability to bypass this propaganda machine.

Likely just double sided tape. That would gather dust where exposed, (not stuck to wires, bit) though. As I found out from doing the same thing with a super long lamp cable, in my bathroom, where we only had a heatlamp, and that sucked in summer. But also the power point was in an awkward place, so I dangled a lamp from the ceiling, but after taking it down, and being too lazy to remove the tape, now it’s fly catching tape.
