    Well that was a mentally exhausting easter.

    p’s just left. Decided to stay down here for a day or two more.

    Also found a yellowtailed black cocky (I think) feather this morning:

    edit hrmm… looks like it’s illegal. Guess i just put it back on the lawn where I found it lol.

    edit 2… looks like they’re rare to find. flock swings past every second day to tear up the banksias. All the other birds hide from them.

          I’d keep it. The law is probably meant for the wildlife trade, so people don’t kill endangered animals for their feathers/fur etc. If it’s a naturally shed feather you found in your yard it’s fine.

    I think I got a bit overexcited putting in my grocery order, nearly got up to $500! Normally it’s around $350-$300 for the month. It’s probably a touch of anxiety making me want to stock up, I got the stuff to make a big batch of canned chili and some canned chicken. Plus a lot of nuts and dried fruit which are always a touch expensive. Hopefully they will actually have most of the stuff, they do have a tendancy to not actually provide the meat I order and if that happens I’m going to have to hunt down some mince for the chili from elsewhere.

        They won’t have the information I need. It’s along the lines of does this tent have this specific feature (because the photos suck and there’s no manual), what ingredients are in this cleaner, how to sanitize this, what will achieve this outcome.

        Sometimes I can find a video of assembly, sometimes I find something from the EPA, sometimes I can dig up a manual or find some more information from a different seller. A lot of the time it’s all the same vague 101 info that doesn’t answer the one question I have.

        The internet is becoming really stupid.

        Oh yeah, ai should count as information pollution.

        But also if you want one specific piece of information it just gives sources that regurgitate the same stuff you already know and don’t answer the particular question you’re trying to hone in on.

        Also adding quotes and excluding terms doesn’t seem to work anymore
