The purpose of internal doors clearly isn't sound insulation given how wafer thin they are.

Welp... I bought a PS5 during my lunch break. Now to be fair, it's $679, the disc version AND I get Spider-Man 2 for free (for non-gamers, Spider-Man 2 came out less than a month ago and it's usually priced between $100 and $125 depending on where you get it from). I mean I put it all on Afterpay, but I only have to spend $169.75 every fortnight so yay!

Besides I also don't have to a) borrow my partner's PS5 when I put my hand up to review a PS5 game for my 2nd job b) when PS5 exclusive games are up for review I can actually do it without having to worry about a. and c) Play PS5 games when I want and don't have to wait every 2nd weekend for my partner to bring their PS5 or I go to their place and play it.

Noodling around and saw that old 7 Red Lines video turn up in suggested on YouTube. I clearly blanked out the INHUMANE PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE that is watching that video because I stupidly clicked and only made it halfway through before ragequitting and now I have all this pent up fury and trauma.

Make shopping bags as gifts for friends and family. Tote bag. Potato bag. Onion bag. Place mats. A bag bag to store other bags in.

A bag for bags is totally a thing I have

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But do you have a cat one?

[–] 6368_39162@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could make cute fabric planters for potted indoor plants, or furoshiki for Christmas/birthdays.
