@clacke @loke @notclacke Tin openers can be found here in England. Potato peelers are a different matter.

@notclacke That's because cheese slicers are rare outside of Scandinavia.

@dalias @Mer__edith I'd prefer it without the cryptocurrency bullshit too.

@Avitus @dalias @Mer__edith Any association with cryptocurrency is suspicious.

@davidaugust I see, it was Marx Martin who wrote that song.

@clacke Do you know what hardware difference is causing this? Does the older phone have a 32-bit CPU (and the associated RAM limitations)?

@clacke Well, underwater speakers exist, but they are a bit special. Maybe look for something intended for use outdoors or around pools.

Getting some mixed signals from Waitrose.

@clacke It can also mean that something is possible but very difficult. Like riding a unicycle on a slack rope. A few people can do it, but if it's the only option for crossing a river, most of us are better off not trying.

@dalias @autinerd @NewtonMark @raven667 @voltagex @ryanc I have a thing that reports IPv6 addresses as 16 decimal numbers separated by dots.

@clacke One of the best index jokes has to be the entry "sea water, see water, sea" from the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.

@clacke The stock Google camera app that comes with Pixel phones has something like that called Top Shot.

@futurebird I didn't know that. Which part?

@gemlog @clacke How much does the Tesla spontaneous self-combustion module cost?

@clacke It's a painting, obviously.

@clacke Milton Keynes is probably as boring as its reputation, but Bletchley Park nearby is well worth a visit.

@clacke The story is that that account should be ignored and possibly blocked.

@verymetalsite @cstross The sequel has the finest description of Tiktok I have ever seen.
