This week has drained the absolute fuck out of me but I'm finally done with everything & I can spend the weekend doing Nothing aaahhhh
@NekoEd For me definitely. I've had problems with Evri but I get tons of stuff delivered by them and like 95% is fine. Meanwhile I rarely get anything by UPS and when I do they usually fail to deliver it. At least this time it went to a shop where I could go and get it and I didn't have to contact them and chase them about it
UPS still proving themselves to be the worst delivery company in the UK I think. Their international network is great, they can get a parcel from HK to UK in a day, but when it comes to bringing it to my front door ohh noo that's too hard we'll leave it at some fucking phone shop instead
The head of Anbernic R&D has a long standing beef with the guy behind ZPG/GKD & it is admittedly kind of funny sometimes. He said Anbernic would never do a 1:1 aspect ratio handheld because it was stupid but then the Unicorn was announced and suddenly they can't make one fast enough
It's an Android handheld with a Mediatek G99 CPU and 720x720 square screen. And by the way it is not a copy of the Anbernic RG Cube. This was revealed first, and Anbernic, in kind of a dick move, ripped it off and beat them to market
don't have time to set it up properly just yet but I got hold of a ZPG A1 Unicorn... so called because, like the real unicorn, it is fucking impossible to find and you have to import one specially from Taobao

Translation Story Hour with abadidea:
During the Warring States era, the King of Qi dispatched a messenger to the State of Zhou. The Queen of Zhou asked the messenger: “How is the harvest in Qi? How are the people faring?”
When at last she inquired after the king, the messenger complained: “Milady, you did not first ask about milord, but about crops and commoners. Doesn’t milady think that a bit backwards?”
The Queen of Zhou replied: “If there are no crops, then what commoners are there to speak of? And if there are no commoners, then what exactly is he king of?”

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it still was like this. Let me tell the story:
I was 25, the channel members were like 20 to 30 years old. Somehow this young girl found her way to us. She was 14 when she joined the channel. >>

Professor Stephen Whittle OBE, famed UK Trans Legal activist from Press for Change, probably the most reputable trans person in the UK in regard to the law and affecting it, has put out the action plan guide stating that the best chance of influencing things is for trans and allys to write physical letters to their MP and 6 copies to specific other members of parliament.
He's provided the relevant facts to be included and laid out what you need to write.
