I’m guessing I’m the only person who didn’t know, but apparently Salvador Dali designed the Chupa Chops logo which is pretty cool

Whenever I talk on my work phone I manage to put people on hold. It’s a Samsung and I’ve figure out that it’s essentially because a part of my ear sticks out right where the hold button is. Not sure how to change it.
Scissors.

The paper straws that come at cafes now. It isn’t the straws themselves that really grind the gears, it’s when the server puts them into the cups before handing them to you. When I am by myself and I am buying two drinks, surely it is obvious that I will be taking one of them away to give to someone else and that could be a time longer than the survival time of the straw.
The straws get so soggy and useless in pretty quick time, it seems like a sensible idea to hand the straws next to the cups, so I can put them in at the appropriate time and actually be able to drink my drink successfully before it gets too late.

Paper straws are pathetic.
It’s the texture that does me, cardboard/paper in my mouth? Fuck that, horrible. Makes my skin crawl.
The funny thing about most paper straws is they’re worse for the environment than plastic straws.
Take for example Maccas straws. The glue in them makes them non biodegradable.
I have a couple of metal straws that I carry with me that I use for any cold drinks I might have, but so often the server whacks the paper straw into the cup before I even have a chance to tell them no (I sometimes even tell them when I am making the order and they do it anyway)
Hmmm not sure that’s the case. From what i understand the issue is the thickness of the cardboard that makes them unrecyclable at the moment. Although i haven’t found anything on how biodegradable they are. Maybe i’ll do an experiment and chuck one in a bokashi compost and see how long it lasts.
I was served a drink in Italy with a straw made from raw pasta. May not be ideal for glutards though.
I can see it, the future.
the internet full of tictocks of seppos doing outlandish things with pasta straws and Italians crying about it.

So had some pretty severe neck and shoulder pain the last couple of days.
Went and got a massage this morning, felt worse afterwards. My GP is shut today, so at the ED.
Well I’ve somehow torn my rotator cuff and a muscle in my neck.
How? Through aggrevating a stiff neck by cycling.
Bloody painfuk. At least I’ll catch tonights game, on the couch, high on endone lol.
What the fuck man?! Were you upside down walking on your hands with the bike above you or what?
Nah, I reckon I did it last weekend throwing the kids in the air.
And then cycling has just aggrevated it due to the position on the bike with muscles pulling away.
Thats what the doc reckons.
