@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.

@sun @clacke @Nudhul America has a lot of that.

@sun @clacke @Nudhul Over here they put a sticker on the box.

Blister packs are nice because it's easy to count how many have been taken, and they are tamper-proof.

@Nudhul @clacke @sun Any idea why? Blister packs seem much safer to me.

@clacke I have "my doctor" in the sense that I'm registered with a practice. I've never so much as spoken with them, though.

@clacke @sun I've also wondered if American drugs really come in orange plastic bottles rather than blister packs like everywhere else.

@clacke Another thing I've noticed is Americans casually talking about "where they get their meds" or similar. If you're not taking at least two or three prescription drugs, you're not seen as normal.
