  • meniscus_mel — how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously 20:11
  • meniscus_mel — i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats, not advice obviously 20:35
  • meniscus_mel — ok so we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing 20:52

PS

follow up is there a sharps bin that doesnt look like a sharps bin, my mother in law is visiting

MM

i watched it, i was awake for most of it, and i regret being awake for the last bit

what is everyone drinking now that alcohol has stopped being fun

i was awake for it

MP

the sharps bin lives next to the kettle and visitors have opinions about it

MM

raining here for the ninth day, is it doing that everywhere
a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive

FA

cat got onto the counter and took out a whole tray, anyone want to guess how many survived

OS

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused

FA

for the archive update from 2 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter

OS

we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

OS

unrelated but strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it

IW

raining here too. it has been raining here since approximately the founding of this channel
the jewellery scale gets used for coffee beans more than anything else and it was still a good purchase

somebody wrote mcg instead of mg again, do we have a counter for that

MM

whats everyone cooking, i can look at it even if i cant finish it

MM

36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem, i have it written down somewhere

36 and rising

MM

did anyone watch that last night or am i the only one still awake at this hour

PS

anyone else have a drawer thats 90 percent alcohol swabs

PS

i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them

MP

a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive, anyway

my money is on nothing shipping and all of us still arguing about it in 2028
