Highlights from this day
- bea_reconstitutes — slightly off topic but i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs 17:45
- bea_reconstitutes — who else bought a fridge thermometer for the vials and now checks the milk with it 19:27
- underfill_uma — ok so the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize, your mileage will differ 19:32
- bea_reconstitutes — star mg not mcg. the correction is faster than the mistake at this point, happy to be corrected 19:33
- reship_rita — the fridge is called colin and colin has never once let me down 21:54

bea_reconstitutesslightly off topic but i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is…
slightly off topic but whats everyone cooking, i can look at it even if i cant finish it
strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it
raining here too
raining here too. it has been raining here since approximately the founding of this channel
36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem
cold chain incident
i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk, for what its worth
slightly off topic but recipe that works in four bites: anything at all on a smaller plate. the plate is the recipe, your mileage will differ
anyone else have a drawer thats 90 percent alcohol swabs
alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here
we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing, i have it written down somewhere
i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend

i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore
the sharps bin lives next to the kettle and visitors have opinions about it
we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it
my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here
i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them, i think
sorry to jump in the mcg thing has happened four times this year and somebody catches it inside ninety seconds every time, i could be wrong
slightly off topic but how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously
somebody will correct the mcg thing before i finish typing this and honestly good
coming back after 21 months, whats the current in joke, i have lost track completely
update from 24 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter, ymmv
cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now, ill dig out the number
a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive, i could be wrong
still nothing shipped
the cat took out a tray. two survived. i have named them
cat got onto the counter and took out a whole tray, anyone want to guess how many survived
sorry to jump in i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused
swirl dont shake is on a magnet on my fridge and it has now outlived two fridges
sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late
sport was bad, ymmv
i watched it, i was awake for most of it, and i regret being awake for the last bit
[edited]my money is on nothing shipping and all of us still arguing about it in 2028
i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend
the fridge is called colin and colin has never once let me down
