What is Lorem Ipsum?
Day 4 is simply Day 4 Removed so much with zero landfill!!!
Including food from in fridge not the store area but sharing as so amazed someone wanted – get this frozen chicken drumsticks I bought from a butcher in another suburb so my family protested after the first kg and refused more. With inflation and housing crisis locally it felt immoral to throw out free range chicken that is perfectly fine. I also got rid of turmeric tea I’d taken a spoon of and hated – a woman came and was happy to take. I am selling a bike stand tomorrow although won’t count chickens before hatched as always get that Marketplace no show. Buy Nothing Crazy- gave away baskets, kitchen drawer knife insert that was wrong size for us, recycled loads of cardboard and paper, broken blinds, plastics, empty paint tins, broken toys, electronics… took a car load to tip. I have some storage tubs to get rid of too and went through a few boxes of papers and school stuff and culled some.. I suppose we’ll always buy or obtain a certain % of stuff that could be a mistake. Like tall bike stand just took bikes out of use. I think we’d better use a low stand.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Where can I get some?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
