@shezza_t @bobcardboard surely they get diplomatic immunity from budgets?

@shezza_t @bobcardboard the ambassador would not be serving non-posh chocolates

@tosbourn @bitflipped for sure! Then get onto my favourite, Wyrd Sisters. Still have my very battered copy I got over 30 years ago.

A pathetically weak post from @caseynewton

platformer.news/p/why-substack

Despite laying out the myriad issues Substack has exhibited by aligning itself with Nazis, and reading like the inevitable conclusion will be that it is no longer viable for Platformer to remain there, it sputters out with a cowardly “let’s hope they do better”.

The only possible opinion to draw from this is that, like Substack itself, Casey is fine with the status quo, but wants to be seen paying lip service to decrying it.

@shezza_t @ianRobinson milk should be sold in two measures: metric and “how much I need”.
- 500ml / just a few cereals and some teas, for a day
- 1ltr / cereals, teas, maybe some drinking milk with dinner, for a day or two
- 2ltr / all the usual plus a hot chocolate or Ovaltine, for several days
- 3ltr / I have young children in the house who are lactose tolerant.

@glennf @mwichary mine arrived today (UK!) and I don’t get home to open it until tomorrow. Thankfully our FedEx delivery person phoned and asked where was safe to leave it, rather than abandoning on the doorstep. Can’t wait to get at it!

@pmcg @schwa I was once got two bottle of Grey Goose vodka with a gift note that read “from me to me. Love you. HONK”

Drunk me is great craic.

The final gifts have been received and so the embargo on buying myself stuff can be lifted. Also lying on the sofa with a brute of a chest infection so some retail therapy could be just what the “doctor” ordered me to self-medicate with.

@chrisphin @simon with the right, or maybe the wrong, kerning it definitely works.

@simon @chrisphin shit. This is what Content Warnings were made for, right?

@chrisphin now, I’m not sure if you mean musical keyboards or are referring to the Apple keyboards on a shelf. And I have more of both of them elsewhere in the house 🙂

I will inevitably buy another of both, as well.

@chrisphin @simon here’s how mine fits. It’s a 15”. There’s a 17” on the shelves at the top but it doesn’t work properly. Yet!

@schwa and in Northern Ireland it’s like the NF but with sectarianism.

@chrisphin @simon in case you have one or get one, I discovered that the smaller iMac G4 will sort of fit into a Kallax with the screen sitting slightly in front of the frame.
