Highlights from this day
- knees_first — somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me, for what its worth 21:07
- VialBot — Testing queue: 2 submissions open, 128 awaiting dispatch. 21:41
- lead_time_lars — slightly off topic but down 100 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win 21:44
- lead_time_lars — i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring… 22:34
- knees_first — unrelated but careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two 22:55
