The worst thing about being a lefty is the sheer bloody scarcity of left handed lenses.

@thomasfuchs @sstephenson It's the same stuff, just branded for dogs, but best to stay for the real thing for insurance purposes.

A couple more.

Vanillabean needed to be desexed, but apparently it's more likely he's a D&D geek. Also getting my cleats out? in PUBLIC?!

Things that amuse me; Looking back through old Siri-generated reminders on my phone where it failed picking up slang context or my accent and tried to turn it into some kind of formal Americanspeak, or something. Some I can interpret. Others I have no idea.

@rajelaran I'm the opposite!. I studied Industrial Maths at uni, and do not work in a mathematical field, but the knowledge from it I still use every day.

The mathematical intuition it gave me, and the knowledge of where you absolutely cannot use human intuition (stats!) absolutely invaluable.

Love for the world's moody little goth boys.

@foone as a quicktake owner I have seen precisely one of them ever and it is treated like gold.

But it’d be funny to print in it too.

One of the smallest floppies.

5.25" vs 5.5" floppy disks.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

I don't like to make a constant huge deal of it because the world concentrates too much on numbers and the baggage around them, and constant running totals are probably bad all up, but this morning I hit a 30kg weight loss.

Oh trout, why did I doubt you. Old reliable got me to work smoothly, effortlessly, without drama. I love you so and have something special planned at lunch.

I even played my break-up album, the one I can only play and enjoy when I've ended a relationship AND IT WAS GOOD.

This car is cursed. No fixes stick. Ever. A completely rebuilt part will fail the same as the previous. Over and over. Cursed! Transmission, diff, tailshaft, wheel bearings, brakes, power steering, water pump, alternator… etc.

May the purity of fire cleanse it once and for all.

Charging my phone so I can go outside and take a video of the Ghia as I pour five litres of mower fuel into it and light it.
