Not for the specific kleen kanteen one I had. Tried emailing the distributors and everything (they sent me one and it was the wrong size). Will keep my eye out for a generic replacement then give it away

For the Monash Legal Clinic in assisting me to get that 9 year shoplifting charge off my record once and for all.

That's great news! Another step into the future and out of the past πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

I am grateful for rest and being old and smart enough to occasionally take time out. It's been an emotional and tiring couple of weeks (visiting family is great but there's always some grief waiting) but I taking a couple of days before I head back to work and I really needed it. Just exercise, rest, nature time.

I just had the same experience with water bottles. Thought I had a good simple stainless steel option until I lost the lid o-ring in a dishwasher while travelling.....eventually gave up trying to get a replacement and just bought a new one (with an all in one lid).

Weird nightmare crew represent πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ¦ πŸ§žβ€β™€οΈπŸ’πŸ©ΊπŸ’₯

typed it out then realised it was kinda gross

I dreamt I had weird creatures/fungus/organisms all under my skin. It started with weird ant things coming out of my belly button the it was everything from giant green amoebas to insect type things to fungi. And one giant long thing up one leg that was a tracking device.

Took forever to get to a doctor but he was helping me get them out. Then there was some guy chasing me oh and I had to get to a wedding.

I am bloody exhausted. Off to check my whole body for weird pimples.....(Shudder)…....

Helpful staff at Specsavers. My glasses frame just randomly snapped(!) he couldn't fix it but found a similar pair of frames in his box of spare parts and popped my lenses in there. I am grateful for helpful customer service people and the ability to see again

Sorry to hear that. My mate's parents did that trip when the mum got diagnosed. His dad used to say at least he could go back to old favourite spots that she would normally be bored with because they were all new!

Thanks. You are very right. I find it hard to see her struggle (early stage Alzheimer's). But I think we all looked after her and she had a ball

I have been on leave in the last week, travelling with an old family member (a farewell tour of sorts - I don't think she will be doing more big trips). I am feeling very melancholy. So glad I have been able to help her, and sad to see someone so strong and independent getting old and frail.

Anyway this is your lil Wednesday reminder to say thanks to your body, no matter how much trouble it gives you. Getting old sucks arse

Hugs. Biggest hugs

 

Fingers crossed its not H5N1.

 

My old xps13 is old in the tooth and the new ones have some things I don't like. So I am after recommendations. My preferences

  • Linux (Ubuntu/Debian friendly). Happy to wipe and install and will check compatibility beforehand but if anyone has a Linux daily driver they love let me know
  • good CPU and decent RAM (32gb would be nice)
  • Lightweight - smaller preferred (currently on a 13" and happy)
  • Touchscreen would be nice
  • Usb-c
  • Decent battery life

I have access to other machines for heavy GPU stuff that's not as important as CPU and RAM.

Uses:

  • Programming/terminal use
  • Reading docs and papers
  • Watching movies etc
  • No gaming

That's my wishlist. What do you suggest, Aussie tech friends?

 

Anyone have an instant pot? Any foolproof recipes? I just got one (thanks Santa) and wondering where to start.
