Have a good day!
Sherlock Dan has solved the Case of the Crumbly Bread.
And like most cases, the reason is pure idiocy on my behalf. I thought I put in 340ml of water. But, the measuring cup is 200ml and I put in 200ml and then another 40ml thinking I’d already had 300ml in there.
So did another one last night with the correct amount of water and the result was pure, heavenly breadiness worthy of Jesus himself.
Maths. Every. Single. Time.
Oooo
Mildura to Mallacoota by PT, 22 hours with the longest layover being a couple of hours. I’d arrive the next day, but because the last leg of the trip leaves the same day, the entire fare would only be the price of a daily
As someone who frequently caught the Tilt Train in QLD before moving here and had an alright time, I’m kind of curious as to what the route actually entails. Are there any swap overs, is there a decent stretch to get some sleep since it’s a 22hr journey, are there sleeper cars, and what about food options/amenities?

tilt train (and Qld in general) is ♥️♥️♥️

the route is mostly coaches but does have 1 train. I’ve done the Mildura night coach a few times (which is 9 hours and arrives at 6am), plenty of people do get a nap on that but being a coach there’s no sleeping areas, best you can do is put your seat back by about 30° and hope there’s not too many potholes
The journey looks like this:
8am coach from Mallacoota to Genoa (30 mins)
Connect to a coach to lakes entrance (3hrs)
2 hour layover in lakes entrance
2:30pm coach to Tralagon (2.5hrs)
5:20pm train to Melbourne (2.5hrs)
2 hour layover in Melbourne
9:10pm coach to Mildura (9hrs)
Arrive in Mildura at 6am
The train is fairly smooth but not designed as a sleeper, so you could get a nap but it wouldn’t be great
While not my thing, mostly due to the lack of trains and onboard amenities, I can see how it’d be a fun little adventure.
Not going lie, if you did do the trip I’d read a write up of your journey and how it went.
I have only stepped out my apartment once in the past 3 and 1/2 weeks and that was to go to hospital . Can’t wash my hair and have mostly been subsisting on frozen food. I missed xmas and nye with friends and fam too.
But I have recovered from depression so that is good.
I have so much to do. :)
I had two wins today. Some code I straight copy pasted off the internet worked first go, fixing a real doozy of a work project in one swoop.
The I put Linux mint on an old laptop and the WiFi started working again. I’ll either give it to the kids to play with or I’ll play around with it as a home server.
ffs, reddit is so full of paid political trolls it’s painful
this place is a blessed relief
I can never understand the anger people have on reddit. The cattiness and the back and forwards is just not for me.
