TT

HH

what do you tell visitors the little thermometer in the fridge is for

EE

update on the earlier thing i watched it, i was awake for most of it, and i regret being awake for the last bit

HH

i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore

BS

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

HH

my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here

HH

i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs

HH

anyone got a recipe that survives being eaten in four bites

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

VB

Assay note: QYB lot F-1330 reported at 97.4% of label content.

star mg not mcg. the correction is faster than the mistake at this point

CC

i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk

OO

i made a spreadsheet nobody asked for, is there a channel for that or does it go here

CC

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

update from 21 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter

who else bought a fridge thermometer for the vials and now checks the milk with it

TT

the fridge is called colin and colin has never once let me down

we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice

cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now

UU
