One day a self-defence expert was asked "what should I do if I don't have any weapons and someone attacks me?"

He answered "I dunno, hit 'em with a pen or something"

And thus ridiculous bullshit like this was brought into the world: http://www.mecarmy.com/product/details/80/156

@squirrel i did know that! and you're a squobit!

@softgoat if you don't mind second hand I can wholeheartedly recommend the thinkpad x230

@softgoat thinkpad

definitely a thinkpad

You may not be able to nail jelly to a wall, but it seems you can make a kitchen knife out of it

@squirrel morning/afternoon maple!

@cypnk oh, no, wait, they've optimised the packing since I last looked, you can fit six in a shipping container apparently

@cypnk there's a project called the OX from the global vehicle trust which is somewhat similar but far more useful

http://oxgvt.com/

It's a van, can carry 13 people or 3 pallets or 8 drums, and you can fit 3 of them into a shipping container

@noelle more to the point, if you just write them off as bots and don't learn anything about them it makes it harder to target and crush the bastards

@HTHR@cybre.space you can eat lots of stuff

this guy ate a plane

(and a bunch of other things not usually consumed by people, like shopping carts and bicycles)

@kibi as with all ridiculous spellings of words, I'm blaming the victorians and their habit of latinifying perfectly good words

@noelle just wait until she hears about Irish Republicans (who are most often socialists)

@noelle crackin' cheese, winston
