Good luck, stranger! :)

Ahh yes, we also suffer from a lack of insulation. Empty ceiling and walls. The 50s was a pretty relaxed era for Australian housing.

And I can only assume, at this point, you are also about to lose a wife?

It's been about ten years, give or take. Thank you and fuck you for breaking my streak.

Edit: welcome 🙃

Do it. Smother that thing in vanilla ice cream for extra dietary regret.

This. This is my favourite take on the whole conundrum.

 

So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.

Surely not... right?

Can highly recommend the vanilla, although the good stuff isn't terribly frugal. When feeling lavish, I can also recommend basting both sides of the bread in egg mix, and buttering the pan instead. Then re-butter the pan before flipping (remove, wipe, butter, replace on flipside).

Serve with sprinkle of sugar, and a generous twist of juice from a garden lemon. drools

Have used both casually, agree Kdenlive is more versatile once you get past a few UI quirks. Latest version has some neat audio filters; good for removing background noise or distortion from poscasts/webinars etc.

But I'm not a wizard, I'm just Harry!

We need a one-line explanation (I cannot find words to distill this), demonstrating that instance selection is entirely arbitrary - users need to not only believe it, but understand it intuitively, and quickly. And it's not intuitive to most persons' Web experience (With every internet decision I have made since IRC, the domain at which I hoist my flag, has defined the content available to me. Why would I register with an instance that hosts only thirty users? Don't I want to be where the other people are? Hang on, if the choice is arbitrary, why am I presented with a choice at all? Surely I'm missing something. No, I don't understand this, and so just in case, I should put myself where the other people are. If it wasn't better over there, they wouldn't all be there. Hang on, how do I hop between instances seamlessly? Why are there instances? What even is an instance? Why am I here? Who am I?)

Just address those concerns in ten words or less, and problem solved! XD (I may or may not have had the same questions)

It was always going to happen, and the best time to shit the bed, is when you've already wet yourself, because the sheets have to be changed anyway, right?

What a result! The spiteful bastard in me wishes it were permanent. Fuck corporate culture, fuck two-faced slimeball dickshits, and fuck /u/spez.
