For the USA the day you declared your independence from the British Empire was the most important day in your history

For us, it was Thursday

Am I comparing George III to M. Bison there? Yeah, sure, why not

hedgie friends have been relatively quiet recently, must be finding lots of food on their wanders and being too full to stop in the cafe for supper

still coming by for the occasional drink and munch though!

@switchingsocial@mastodon.at that's some other prat using the gab codebase

block it anyway (we did) but it's not gab proper

Oh yeah, is gab using any domains that we haven't all preemptively blocked?

@maple hey bun, what's up?

my dad, about a drill: it's safe, just the cable insulation is gone

@tom wait really?

used to have wasabi being down once a week

The things up for sale in this year's Only Watch have been announced

It's a charity auction for research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy and a load of watch brands make one-off pieces for it

Personal favourites from the bunch are the H. Moser et Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept that has a vantablack dial, a neat looking Voutilainen pocket watch, and whatever the fuck this thing is that MB&F came up with

@Alyx basically, yeah

although maybe keep it to ungodly amounts of conventional explosives to avoid the inconvenience of a large EMP

@Alyx keep the explosions, make them much bigger, but have them in space
