Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
So it turns out if you actually clean your vacuum cleaner properly it performs WAY better. Who'da thunk it? I had to pull it apart because it was saying airways blocked yesterday, which is apparently the level of cleaning I'm meant to be doing on this thing regularly anyway so I learned that too.
Also I just learned yesterday that you're meant to replace the HEPA filters on Dyson stick vacuums once a year so I bought 2 aftermarket filters which arrive today. I've cleaned the existing one a few times, yesterday giving it a more thorough cleaning which was the cause of the "airways blocked" message, but apparently replacing them will make the vacuum perform even better.
It's actually crazy how much dust/dirt this thing lifts off what I thought were pretty clean carpets. It must have been doing a pretty piss-poor job before I cleaned it.
I thought I had a good vacuum cleaner until I got bissel wet vacuum carpet cleaner 😨 the water comes up black 😨
Wow I have never bought new filters, only ever washed/dried the old ones...hmmm
Are these anywhere near as good as mains powered vaccums?
No, if you're comparing to good quality corded vacuums like a Miele etc - but I think they are quite sufficient for minor daily vacuuming especially on hard surfaces. Highly recommended for things like vacuuming the kitchen evey evening or play areas if you have kids
No.
I haven't done a direct comparison myself but I can tell you they are very good! For smaller places like my apartment they're a no-brainer.

I'm such a dumbass. Had a meeting in the office yesterday at 10. We all went around introducing ourselves. I tell them who I am, my role and background. Guy says "Nice to meet you!" and I said "Thank you!! 😄" realising after three minutes, I cringed so hard after that. To be fair I hadn't had my coffee nor my breakfast but still embarassing 😭😭😂
I’ve said ‘thanks, you too’ before, when a waiter has said ‘enjoy your meal’, so you’re not alone
No, you owned that.
Onus was on him to say "you're welcome".
at least you didn’t say “yes it is”
Asserting dominance 😎
I do it all the time then carry on like nothing is a miss.
Confident response, very good
I feel very vindicated.
Power goes out about almost an hour ago, except for some lights and stuff, very weird. So we're going through the motions of flicking the power switch at the side of the house and everything, and afterwards Mum tells us we need to turn everything off at the power point, and so everything is slowly working but my stuff. Mum comes in and sees my cords and then starts to say that the reason why everything went out might be because of me. I get annoyed and defensive because she instantly tells me that it could be my fault, and she then gets snarky and annoyed when I tell her that it can't just be me and she says she's not accusing me. Even though she never said this to my sister and only said this after she saw my stuff and went "Jesus Christ!".
Anyways everything starts turning on again, awesome great, lights are working. Mum goes back to bed and turns on one of the power points in her room and guess what happens... everything goes out again. We find the culprit and its one of mum's sockets/power points that is causing the issue. So fuck me right?
Even if it HAD been you, that's not a fuggen fault on your end, that's shitty wiring that can't handle normal use, so wtf would she have accomplished anyway? It's not goddamn 1960 any more, the chances of you overloading bar running five power saws simultaneously is nigh impossible
Like I think my bedroom only has one power outlet but that's because they never give non-main bedrooms more than one power outlet. But yeah I'm mostly using my computer in my room. But yeah it felt very accusatory and ugh. Glad to know it wasn't actually me though.
What Taleya said. Have you got block fuses or the wire sort?
Morning everyone
morning mum i am hungry
Morning mum 💓 happy Saturday
Good morning! I'm in a lot with 40 units and our place is the only one that gets stupid pigeons early morning 😫 might have to get an owl, and not a fake one haha
Unleash the rubber chicken honks!

Yay, someone is grabbing the old stumps I put out for hard rubbish - I was starting to think I would need to make a Marketplace listing! Good old Redgum in those things.
It's quite humid outside.
I'll take that humidity any day compared to the 24/7 soup I'm in at the moment...........
*checks singapore weather..
30c 80% + humidity yep nup
tropical meat rejoices
Does tropical meat require a decent anti perspirant to avoid sweaty armpits?
The young Seagoons have settled in and Bill and Ted have become friends. :)
I'll be adopting a little orange friend for Gibson next year. I hope they get along...
aww 😸💗😸
I am going for a long drive to lunch today and realised I need to get petrol. I just checked the prices and they look to be at a low point at the moment, how did I luck into that? I've avoided looking at prices while I've been on leave for a couple of weeks, I was expecting prices over $2.
Oooo you're right! I can go put some juice in for 188.9 + 4c off nearby. Thanks for the heads up!
sky pretty
My dryer appears to be fucked. This is problematic
If cleaning the filter doesn't work - appliances online is your friend in need.
hmm. You sure the dryer isn't airing concern.
perhaps if under warranty a claim could be hoisted on a horse.
*I realise these are unhelpful comments

Just tried out the new HEPA filter on the vacuum. Works reeeal nice. Feels weird throwing what seems to be a significant part of the vacuum cleaner in the bin but it is what it is.
Window cleaning tips specific to the fea? I seem to have a drunk flying fairy problem.
Witchhazel & dishwashing liquid - 1 to 3 ratio. Just spray on lightly and wipe off. You can get fancy and use rowan wood and red thread, but finding rowan in this country is a chore. Alternatively, put your clothes on inside out to render yourself invisible to the fae. Also invisible to a lot of other people who are going to be too polite to mention your sartorial choices.
Three times my height of course, and with a stone with a natural hole.
Hey cool! Looks like an album cover!
Mix equal parts vinegar and water, add an iron ingot and steep under the full moon.
Using this may trigger combat so keep a thorn in your pocket
Keeping a thorn in the pocket triggers more than just combat - it triggers MENDING. Which is a form of combat I guess.
If no one believes in fairies, they cease to exist.
Bloody Disney has a lot to answer for, but this is the major one. Wrong on all counts.
Then what just bit your ankle?
the symbolism in our flag means death is gonna make me bite my goddamn keyboard in half i s2g. If you're a fan, go back and rewatch s1 there's so much more colouration to it after events in s2.
I just saw West Coast Coolers in the fridge at Liquor Land…
Hehe.
Unless you are 14 you’ll need to drink about 40 of the things and will spend most of the night peeing
It was weird. I stood at the fridge and tried to see if I remembered what they tasted like. 😂
Just saw this new song pop up on YouTube from Tim Minchin and it managed to hit me in the feels. Fun fact: something I did made Tim laugh once!
The concert apparently started 20 minutes ago but I haven't heard peep from the stadium yet. No music. No cheers. Nada.
I might go for a walk and make sure they're alive in there.
Edit: scootered past and heard signs of life. Not quite the bass thumping sounds of some other artists, but the demographic would probably complain if it was.
surely a live concert means they're alive?
i'll see myself out
I would guess that the roof is shut due to wind & rain etc.
Thinking about what to have for dinner tonight.
Maybe I’ll make a few days worth of pasta sauce and throw in a lot of tuna into the mix.
Still debating over it though.
What to doooo for the rest of the day/night... driving anywhere is out of the question if I intend to come home before probably midnight. Paul McCartney is playing at the stadium tonight so driving back here will be problematic, knowing from experience.
wash the car
lol the car I'm trading in in a few days? No thanks!
