Not far off to be honest. I use a power drill with a ~2 cm diameter to create weakpoints, then a rubber mallet with a paint scrapper to dig down around weakpoints to separate from rest of ice, then screw in an ice screw and pull to dislodge ice block ~1x1x1.5 ft from toothed plastic bed. Lastly I use a hand saw to shape the piece to reveal deformation markers in ice blocks. Too much technical information with no context perhaps.... :P

Never mind, I just complain too much.

I've realized how... removed from the world I am. Nothing's ever going to happen if I never do anything. But I'm done with school, unable to work, don't have any friends who live even in the same state... What am I supposed to actually do?

And right now my life's pretty much on hold for the next year or so due to health issues anyway.

want to learn how to knit. but no idea where to begin

have never knitted before and i want to make scarves, hats and cardigans for my sweet moo for christmas.
where to start....

starting to think the fact that i have not been given meat/cheese slicing shifts is precisely because i have been taking the end chunks of meat and cheese that noone wants, for myself.

and that is apparently seen as theft in the eyes of the Company. despite the fact that whatever i "take" is going to end up in the bin anyway so who gives a s**t. we have a good food bank here and whatever happens - i won't be paying for deli meat and cheese

if this is true, then i suppose i should be thankful that the only disciplinary action taken was the quiet cessation of those shifts for me and not anything worse. finding jobs on the island is hard.

The weird ideas.

Like wearing a gown in a middle of COVID testing.
Or lay outside with a blanket at 2AM and back at 4AM.
Or go crazy with my bullet journal's next month spreadsheet.
Or test my contacts 25 days earlier thabt I intended.
Or grab the entire pile of those damn clothes into a barrel brimming with diluted fab con.
Or hell, the barrel itself, being the apartment compounds' trashcans, clean the whole thing up myself THEN use it to do laundry.
Or not. Maybe I'd end up chasing cats that the neighbors feed.

There is cat bullying round here lol.

This tortoise shell cat goes somewhere then this ginger cat follows it. And they have a fight cos ginger cat doesn't like tortoise shell cat.

I vastly prefer cats to dogs but I'm proud of mum's dog today cos she barked and broke it up.

Ginger cat is picking on tortoise shell cat.

They even did it in our front garden even though 3 cats and a dog live here.

Few words that starts with paki-.


Pakikipagkapwa
Pakikisalamuha
Pakikisama
Pakikialam
Pakikiabot
Pakikipagdamdam
Pakikiusap
Pakikibagay



TLDR; few heavily socialized words.

I can't force stupid people to not be stupid, and maybe I'm the one who is really stupid. So I'm just gonna sit back and let humans burn the world down.

My first crush is ugly now.

It's not me not liking him anymore that says that either.

I told a girl who was likely to like him that he was my first crush and she was utterly surprised that I could fancy him but think her crush was ugly.

I don't like chav looking men, I like pretty boys.
