   @thomasfuchs I am incredibly envious. That would look so good sitting next to my Stonehenge snowglobe. 😂

     @thomasfuchs I remember going to a New Year countdown party gleefully waiting for the electricity to be wiped out. We thought it was a bit of a let down when the whole Y2K hysteria turned out to be a big, fat nothingburger. 🤡

     @thomasfuchs Yeah, I'm aware of the issue (but thanks for the handy link!) it just always makes me chuckle when abbreviating makes things longer, the most famous example being "www" naturally having more syllables than "world wide web", which prompted the "dub dub dub" pronunciation.
