The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[zabu of nΩd]

Been sitting on my couch like a turd most of the night, bored as fuck of pandemic life.

At least I put an hour into the tax return. Not sure if I'll get a stimulus check (I sure don't need one), but if I do it'll be bigger if they use my 2019 tax info, since my income was lower.

Just did some work, partially out of boredom... on a Sunday. Now listening to a really loud cicada chirping at our front door. I think it's letting us know that the insects are taking over. Ah well, good on them. I'll watch a movie in the meantime.

Been doing a Riff of the Day on my instagram stories.
Good fun

Thank you forced home isolation I finally got my 5v and 12v power run through the house. No more paying to charge anything from phones to batteries to the kids DS's.

Kinda jealous of you all who get to stay at home. Im still driving 2+ hours a day to go to work since I do medical testing.

Anyways, watched this video of the lost in vegas dudes listening to Sweet Leaf for the first time, and it just brought me back to the first time I heard this godlike song. Hell, who doesn't bang their head while humming out the guitar riff while Ozzy is perfectly nailing the bluesy parts?

My wife works for the government so she's still working and I bundle the kids in the car and take her to work every morning and pick her up to save her catching the bus. It's not a two hour trip but that's my life anyway, I work for home most of the time and watch the kids when they aren't at school. My life hasn't really changed that much because of this isolation....actually it has a little bit because now I'm doing the jobs around the house instead of ignoring them. FUCK what an idiot I am, I've falling into a trap of doing weekend house stuff!

Gave me a giggle at points.

Teaching myself more rope knots just in case I ever needed to use them outside of the regular half hitch or so.


Made an Alpine/Butterfly Loop knot mainly used for isolating worn areas on your rope and can be used for making an anchor for rock climbing or having an advantage on carrying extra loads. Often used with a carabiner.

 

[Slammed]

Why don't you tell us the real reason for all these ropes and knots is bedroom games?

 

[Sophii]

If I knew how to apply these to a person I would have by now

Damn 12 volt batteries have gone up in the last 5 months. No idea if all the batteries came from China and local supplies have been kicked in the arse or what it is but the battery I bought for the fridge in the ute back in November has jumped from $120 to $225 and most other car batteries have seen similar mark ups.

 

[Sophii]

Thats pretty weird, I do wonder if its imports from China or something. Haven't really bothered with batteries outside of the AA or AAA variety, but even those I feel like have gone up over the years.

 

[Slammed]

I now want 4 batteries for my solar panels but not at the prices they are charging

 

[Sophii]

Do solar panels do well for you, as a resource that is? I've always been interested in renewable/alternative resources.

 

[Slammed]

As power for the house and back into the grid, no, its way to pricey. But I use it for 12volt and 5 volt around the house and charging the batteries in the ute.

 

[Sophii]

Ah, thats fair enough. Well that sucks man! Do you order them from online or is that more out there with pricings?

 

[Slammed]

Yeah they are cheaper online and quiet a saving at times, but it just seems like all batteries for bikes and bigger have near doubled in price.

Thinkin I might find a different job here not too long. Not that I hate the work, moreso power tripping foremen and people in the higher ups. It's a good job, but the morale is low for this shit now.

 

[Slammed]

Get the foreman sacked and take his job!

 

[Sophii]

At this job? God damn it aint worth it with this company. That's more bullshit stress.
