A moment of appreciation for authentic, good quality Japanese rice (not the supermarket stuff). It's spenny but worth every cent getting the good shit from Hinoki... Can eat it just plain with a bit of shichimi and salt. Glistening, toothsome, and somehow holding its own flavour.

So if the Reject Shop was like 10 times bigger; that’s what Panda Mart is?

I'm so cold in the office today. I dress for the temperature outside but the air-con in this place is ridiculously strong. Plus there's a draft exactly where I sit as well making it worse. It would have to be under 20 degrees in here. It's nice right when you come back from outside, but not so much once you've cooled down. Need to remember to pack an office jacket for hot days.

that new nothing phone 3a in blue has me questioning my phone sexuality. And at half the price of a new iphone its VERY tempting. How are google, samsung and apple producing the same shit year in year out with minimal upgrades charging such insane prices when this beautiful thing is innovative and so cheap?

Non starter anyway, nothing wrong with my phone. But when it does die... Why would I spend double the price of the nothing to just get another boring slab of steel and glass? Apples ecosystem is bloody nice. But Siri is still a disaster 5 years in, apple intelligence is DOA and if Steve Jobs were still around he'd have someone shot for the current state of iOS18.
