@DrRacheal Have you watched Brown And Friends on Netflix with Luna yet? Edison loves it!

Any @edutooters in Bangkok or greater Thailand? I have a chemistry job interview and if it all goes well I guess the family and I are moving there!

Replacing physical buttons and switches in cars with touchscreens, for “clean” design and lower manufacturing cost, is a safety hazard.

I follow Arnold Schwarzenegger on other socials. He has a newsletter that is always inspiring that drops ever few months. He just started a daily paragraph called The Pump Daily. Both are free to sign up to. The first Pump Daily started with setting up a vision for the year and I am all for it. I have one in my bathroom and by my computer. Going to make it happen!

Any stationery people know if I can find refills for this pen? It is the Daiso dupe of the Pilot Hi-Tec Coleto Multi Pen. My store in QLD Australia did not seem to sell refills. It writes really nicely and isn't too bulky. Also scores a Mildliner (Daiso branded but Zebra logo still on packaging) and a 2mm mechanical pencil.

I have that annual "what international teaching jobs are out there" mood. Vietnam, Thailand? How hard will it be to move my husband and 8 y.o.?

Air-fryer update. Rice paper spring rolls were a success! Changes for next batch (because there definitely will be a next batch!), roll them smaller and go for 14 instead of 10, fewer in the basket at a time (5 or 6 max). Made them based on this recipe easyflavorful.com/air-fryer-ri but used mung bean noodles and chopped up roast chicken.

I STILL have a spreadsheet full of #Steam #game keys (all legit!) and giving them away isn't just for Christmas any more.

I'm NOT doing this to get new followers. You DON'T need to follow me to get a key. This is about generosity when the world could really use some. The only thing I'd ask you to follow is the Wheaton rule: "Don't be a dick".

To avoid keyfarmers and resellers, I have some guidelines, though.

1. No new accounts. Sorry. You've got to have been here on Mastodon & obviously human; ie. no keyfarmers (If I don't know you, I'm checking profiles).

2. One game per person, but please pick your top three preferred games that you want to play.

3. First in, first served. If your first preference is gone by the time I get to you, that's why there's a 2nd & 3rd preference.

4. *DM* me with the row number, name, and preference order of the three games (my DMs are open)

Green: My keys
Blue: Keys donated by @McCovican.
Orange: Keys donated by @tojosan

Game listed multiple times = multiple keys.

We've given away ~100 games now, and I'll be adding new keys as I get them.

If you don't mind boosting this post; this is my small way of trying to make the world & Mastodon a nice place to be.

Morning 2023. Fell asleep in the pod at 10pm, then went to bed. It is raining and I have coffee. So, going well so far for my 42nd year on the planet.

Partner is watching “Mama Mia” on the telly. I remain fully convinced that the real Abba move is “Muriel’s Wedding”.

Last night, I had real trouble getting off to sleep because a creative idea smacked me in the face.

I'd been looking for some retro cat eye glasses for ages but most online vendors can't accommodate my great big moon face. And nothing makes great big moon face look worse than glasses that are too small.

So, I decided to extend the ones I have with resin.

Here, for your delectation, my *bat wing* extended glasses.

Surely I can't be the only person who gets excited when they pull out a Twiglet that looks like a sister chromatid...

Searching "unwanted present" on market sales sites is both exciting (for bargains) and sad that people seem so selfish and entitled they are selling on presents.

It has been a battle...but I finally lost or whatever you choose to call it. 4:24 pm on Christmas Day is not a bad effort.

After an hour drive, huge seafood lunch (at my folks') and then 5 more hours of driving (to get to in-laws) Christmas chill has begun.
Meanwhile, my 8 y.o. left a note to Santa to say he was staying at his Grandparents. (No address on the picture).
