coming back after 25 months, whats the current in joke, i have lost track completely
how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons
[edited]📉1🎉4
i drink fizzy water with a lime in it and pretend, and it is fine, mostly

while im here the cat took out a tray. two survived. i have named them
sharps bin by the kettle
is there a prize for the bet or is it just the smugness
i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend
the sharps bin lives next to the kettle and visitors have opinions about it, for what its worth

whats the strangest place anyone has kept a vial while travelling
spreadsheet please
Archive lookup: group_buy_gwen first appears in this channel on 2025-12-12.
i was awake for it
recipe that works in four bites: anything at all on a smaller plate. the plate is the recipe
👀3
ok so anyone got a recipe that survives being eaten in four bites
i made a spreadsheet nobody asked for, is there a channel for that or does it go here
did anyone watch that last night or am i the only one still awake at this hour
unrelated but did the football go the way anyone expected
[edited]is swirl dont shake going on a t shirt or are we just going to say it forever
we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing
sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late
36 and rising
strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it
alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here
i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats
a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive
the cat did it
i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk
i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs
the fridge is called colin and colin has never once let me down
the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize
somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works
Reminder for cagri_curious: dose day is today. Set 4 days ago.
star mg not mcg. the correction is faster than the mistake at this point
the smugness is the prize
36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem
anyone else have a drawer thats 90 percent alcohol swabs
⚠️15
swab drawer
its mg not mcg
right so the jewellery scale gets used for coffee beans more than anything else and it was still a good purchase
cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now

my money is on nothing shipping and all of us still arguing about it in 2028
seven tabs
i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them
swirl dont shake is on a magnet on my fridge and it has now outlived two fridges
colin the fridge
the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that
who is winning the bet and are they going to be insufferable about it
still nothing shipped
does a cat knocking things over count as a cold chain incident
i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore, thats one data point
my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here, ask me again in a month
cold chain incident
sport was bad
whats the record for most fridge thermometers owned by one person
raining here for the ninth day, is it doing that everywhere
