  • Funnily enough, in Australia we call the broiler a grill, and what you’re describing is exactly what I thought a grilled cheese was. One of my favourite snacks when I was a kid was this, but with corn kernels under the cheese as well. Of course, being Australian, cheese and Vegemite was also a winning combination!


  • Aussie here, I’ve always considered a cheese toasty to be a cheese sandwich that’s been toasted in a jaffle iron. A toasted cheese sandwich, however, would be more similar to a grilled cheese.

    Not sure if this was just the nomenclature used by my family or is in line with what others call them, though.





  • … it hurt and I don’t know how to move past this.

    Losing someone is supposed to hurt. If it didn’t, then you wouldn’t have been as serious about it as you thought. It doesn’t matter how long you knew him, it was real for you, and it sucks that he played you like that.

    But do you think he deserves to take your happiness with him? I don’t.

    I’m ugly / fat / balding / have bad teeth

    So, there’s some of your insecurities. I don’t want to belittle you or your situation, but everyone has insecurities. And I’ll tell you, the ugliest people I know have great teeth and perfect hair.

    But guess what? There are fat, ugly, bald people out there right now that are being loved by someone. Being showered in love that they don’t feel like they deserve, because they look in the mirror and see some teeth, or some flab, or a bald spot.

    But one day, someone will see YOU. Not your insecurities. They’ll see the way your eyes light up when you look back at them, and he won’t want to look anywhere else. He’ll notice how your nose crinkles when you laugh uncontrollably, and he’ll want to make you laugh every goddamn day so that he gets to see it. And you’ll wonder how someone so amazing could possibly love you, with all your insecurities. And he could very well be thinking the exact same thing.

    Anyway, it sounds like you know what you’re looking for. Don’t let some asshole ruin it for you.










  • Most of my passwords are based around strings of characters that are comfortable to type, then committing them to muscle memory. There’s a few downsides to this:

    • If I need to log in to something on mobile and don’t have a proper keyboard with me, it’s tough to remember which symbols I’ve used

    • I share some of my logins with friends and family for certain things, if they call and need to re-enter a password, it’s usually impossible to recite it to them over the phone (most of my shared logins have reverted back to proper words and numbers to make it easier for the others)

    • If I lose an arm, I’ll probably have to reset all of my passwords.

    But yeah, words alone provide plenty of possibilities. There’s a reason cryptocurrency wallets use them for seed phrases.
