@stuart I got a bunch of plastic tubs from IKEA for tidying the garage, and I’m also planning on separating a bunch of mixed up Lego into the original sets for passing on to new owners.

@stuart ooooh! Whatcha doin’?

@warringtonruncorn yeah, it's all crumbling leisure centres and community halls 🙂

@warringtonruncorn Here's a thought – what about a WRNTDP tour that only stops at the UK’s new towns? 🙂

@warringtonruncorn I only discovered your music last week, and I'm blown away by it. I grew up in Craigavon, a new town in Northern Ireland, and the imagery and sounds of your music resonates deeply as a result! Sometimes I reckon you should be pairing up with the Scarfolk people to do a soundtrack!

I've managed to bag a vinyl copy of People and Industry from your Bandcamp. Is there any prospect of further vinyl represses of IRM79 and DROS? And will there be a vinyl pressing of the new album?

@stuart just one port. Nice.

@krzyzanowskim @schwa @jonstodle @amyworrall yet I've heard people explain away Apple's higher EU pricing as factoring in the extended warranty costs.

@schwa @jonstodle @amyworrall I think we effectively have this in the UK as well. I’m pretty confident that there was a requirement for a 2 year warranty by EU law. I was also watching something recently that said that UK law requires products to be fit for purpose for a reasonable period of time. If, for example, Apple provide OS updates for your phone for 7 years, a hardware failure within 7 years is not fit for purpose.

@schwa @amyworrall if they can’t make the repair process more affordable, then they should really be offering longer warranties. There’s just way too much electronics being junked because it’s too expensive for consumers to repair.

@ianRobinson got the same from EE. They make out like they’ve got no choice, but if they’re not giving their employees a 10.5% payrise, then I want to know why they’re sticking quite so much on our bills.

@lexfri well somebody got Joe a wee trip to Kyiv. That was nice.

@BeebsyMcA @shezza_t @emmaaum We should make #Dogegal a thing.

@BenRiceM I'm looking forward to a podcast all about Zombie Sharknado!

@BenRiceM unless the zombies get eaten by sharks. I don't know what caused the zombie outbreak in TWD, but if enough sharks are eating enough zombies it's got to jump species at some stage. Sooooo, zombie sharks that can't die if they're out of water…

@BenRiceM Hey Ben. I was listening to an older episode of The Cast of Us, and had been at the point where you, Tiff, and Brian were talking about Fear the Walking Dead; specifically about zombies floating out to sea.

This caused me to think: does the possibility of floating zombies imply the possibility of a Great Pacific Zombie Patch out there in the ocean?

TFW you do the right thing and hold off on buying a #eurorack DIY kit, but then you find it's not only out of stock but looks like it’s out of the entire production run too. That'll teach me for ignoring my GAS.

@caseyliss @jamesthomson @lexfri @BenRiceM this conversation just got heated. We’re talking Centigrade heated.

@joshua I think it only needs to do 2MHz, so it should be fine for prototyping (I think an Arduino can do 8MHz). I’ll probably need an oscillator for the real deal though.
