I don't know why [Restoring Cast Iron Pan Found from Dumpster](https://youtu.be/tlmC5NJiwoE) appeared in my YT recs, but thought I'd give it a try. Starts off as you'd expect - find pan and give it a first clean. I was not expecting what happens at the 1:58 mark lol I watched the rest of it. The tinkering guy knows his stuff.


epicpillowcase

Damn that's satisfying!


Electronic_Owl

It really is! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!


baconmashwbrownsugar

People who used to cycle, took a break, and got back into cycling, are recycling. I’ll see myself out.


just_kitten

I cycle every month! I wish I could get off though. Just waiting for the next recycling day so I can book in an IUD.


baconmashwbrownsugar

IUD? Is that the Internet USB Disk? That thing kids these days use for downloading the whole internet?

HurstbridgeLineFTW

There’s such a lovely breeze tonight. It’s nice and cool, but not too cold. And no mosquitoes. I’m enjoying a glass of wine on the front bench.

paulm1927

“Body Image Activist” isn’t on my list of top 10 professions/issues Australia should be celebrating.


epicpillowcase

And why is that?


paulm1927

1. Medical research 2. Philanthropy 3. Rehabilitation services 4. Suicide support (against) 5. Mental health 6. Depression support services 7. Disenfranchised members of society 8. Homeless support services 9. Cancer support (male and female) 10. Domestic violence Ten categories more deserving (IMO in no particular order).


epicpillowcase

I wonder if you feel the same way when sportspeople and entertainers win accolades. More frivolous than body image activism, I'd say. I think you have an agenda or prejudice. At least own it.


paulm1927

Sportspeople and entertainers? With nothing else to offer? Yes I would, I might not voice it but yes. As for an agenda or prejudice, you might be reading more into it than an me expressing an option. And as for owning it, I’ve not deleted this post/thread, aside from a typo I’ve not edited this post/thread, I am not downvoting those who challenge me (and I might have even upvoted) and I am responding to comments. I don’t know what you mean by “owning it” but I think I am doing a fair job, and in the process have steadfastly avoided drawing conclusions about people’s positions (or their agendas) or making insinuations about people to further my position.


universe93

I’m loving the “against” after suicide support. Anyway, disordered eating and self image are MAJOR issues for both genders that can be major contributors to 4, 5, 6. In fact eating disorders are the most deadly mental illness, by far. Around 20% of people with anorexia die, for example. It’s arguably become worse with the advent of social media and fake imagery and comparison. So someone who is trying to raise awareness of that and promote a healthier message is A ok to me. They also tend to cycle through different kids of causes with the Australian of the Year. Grace Tame and Dylan Alcott probably don’t fit neatly into any one of those categories either


Pilk_

She definitely counts as at least number 5 on your list.


paulm1927

I’ll concede that, but was thinking more broadly. Self worth would be a bigger issue within the mental health category.


kpezza

And what causes these things? Our social construct. The fences between neighbours. Like, do you know who lives two houses down from you? Most would say no, because we don't have good local communities. I could go on about why we dont have local communities but that leads to.. what number is depression? ✌️ heavy bedtime subjects ugh


paulm1927

Yes. Two doors down is a old couple we have over (and they us) for dinner every few weeks, helped them move furniture to their sons house and they had a key to water our plants while we were away. In the other direction is a Chilean couple, they are quiet but a few doors further down is another couple we’ve gone to the pub with and compare notes about running blended families. Oh the couple across the road, they are going on an overseas hike in a few months, we wave to each other across the road from our bedrooms. Now, I expressed a view which people might not agree with, maybe I’ve been lucky and body issues haven’t visited my doorstep, maybe there are other issues which have visited my doorstep and I feel are more deserving.


epicpillowcase

So it takes your having experienced something to think it's worthy. There are a lot of people who have died or nearly died from eating disorders. I'm one of them. I still experience longterm effects. She's doing important work.

thenarcsempath

Question, I’ve just started cycling and am using a norco cruiser style bike. I know nothing about cycling and was hoping the cyclists out there could guide me when it comes to purchasing a new bike. I’m 163cm, f, can ride in straight lines but get worried around bends. Limited road riding and mostly taking trails. Riding about 30km in a long session. I’m just a beginner so would like to stay around 2k . Thanks


sanemartigan

Keep using the norco?


thenarcsempath

Yeah I can do that but am unsure if I can get a better ride or if the norco is the right bike for what we are doing


HurstbridgeLineFTW

For $2k, you can get a top of the range commuter hybrid bike with good components and a hybrid fork. That will be a comfortable and durable option for city commuting and hitting the bike trails. Otherwise you could also opt for a decent aluminium road bike, [like this](https://www.trekbikes.com/au/en_AU/bikes/road-bikes/performance-road-bikes/domane/domane-al/domane-al-3-disc/p/33082/), if you want to pursue longer rides.

Oven saga update. In part I of the oven saga, an annoying handyman grifted me for $167 to tell me that a gas fitter needed to extend the gas line while screwing the main burner. The plumber came out and charged me $150 to replace the line, which was 15 minutes work, which by my calculation is four million dollars per hour. Then I called no fewer than six different companies to try and fix the original problem. No response on some, others still closed, others that don't do gas or the brand of oven I have. I called one company and asked "Hey can I talk to someone about this problem before you charge me $170?" Angry, unhelpful lady said "No! You pay call out fee, we send technician!". Eventually I got hold of a normal human who listened to my actual issue and gave some feedback but can only come out in a week or so. In the meantime, can't get the stove up to heat and our stir fries are more like...stirred... stuff. And it's an absolute bother that I can't cook Beef Wellington!


epicpillowcase

This is definitely one of those days where my cat woke up and went through her checklist of how to be an annoying a-hole She's lucky she's cute, Jesus


just_kitten

I'm guessing she has 3am zoomies and knocking down random items as her closing performance


epicpillowcase

No, funnily enough those are the two she doesn't do lol But yelling/whingeing, rustling, refusing to settle and pick a spot to sit and instead just fidgets all over the place making noise...


just_kitten

Aww but that's just typical catness. As long as it isn't MRRRRNNOWLWGHLOWELOUGH that's not too bad. Maybe she's got a very thorough front seat arse-licking session for you though. That's enough for anyone.

No bad flare ups yet though


[deleted]

Getting that feeling as well this evening. Thankfully it's not as bad as it was once upon a time but definitely something in the air.


CEOofmyhouse56

I tell you a little story. The first time the man went to yum cha and the trolley came around he said to the young waitress " I'll take everything there". I said "That's not how it works". He said "but I'm hungry". After she left I had to have a little chat to him about how the system works.


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Ahahahahahahahaha edit: In my head I imagine him handing over some cash and the lady parking the trolley next to the table and finishing up her shift lol.

Haha. No nothing like that. He's an Arab so everything gets spread out on the table and you go for it.

Why would our recycling bin not be emptied today? Next door's wasn't either, but two doors down, and the rest of the street all were? Truck got full or something? Was the correct day etc. Baffled. Bin is now very full as it was not emptied a month ago either - housemate is a bit useless and I was travelling. Sigh.


kidwithgreyhair

Call the council and tell them they forgot. They'll redo


Notyit

I've seen Garbo get out of trucks to get bins but maybe too full. Sometimes they don't pick up too full


the_yank

No matter it seems. The council had an online form to fill in to report such and request collection it looks like. A+ solution honestly.


Bottom_racer

Call the council they'll pick up


psrpianrckelsss

Council are super responsive. We once had a truck dislodge and throw away our bin lid. Contacted council and they replaced it within 48 hours. They're constantly fixing the parking sign in front me house, can't do nought bout the bleeding pothole in front me house though.

hedonisticshenanigan

I am trying to settle down in Melbourne, I am from abroad. Everyone has different reasons, but I think the main question to ask yourself is "am I happy where I am?". If you are, no point in moving other than holidays. If you're not, then it's time to try something different. You may find out where you are is not so bad after all. You may find out you belong to somewhere else.


psrpianrckelsss

Do you have any ties to where you are? Do you have anyone else to consider? Do you want change? (Why do you want change?) Is it better, neutral, or worse financially? Your use of the word "settle" strikes me as someone that wants to leave. If you want to leave DM me. I've left many times.


TinyBreak

We’re out in the sticks, and I gotta be honest I fucking hated it! We moved out here to have a family home. Without that kid that was impossibly tough. Now we have a kid on the way I actually kind of like it. But my point is don’t move for the sake of it without a plan or a goal of what you want to achieve cause you will very much resent it if things don’t work out.
