Sam the Octopus @troubleMoney@computerfairi.es

This is going to be a "sam gets entirely hacked off at tech day" I'm sure of it

Stuff that's been having problems:
Trackball
Answer Machine
Laptop webcam

If that printer so much as looks at me funny today I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD I'LL *angery octopus noises*

@shonalika yeah

I'm sure it's similar to a stress headache or summat

@mavica I keep on interpreting these as like, mavica beep codes

@mavica I love older tech with those brushed metal faceplates

@mavica also us in europe have FFP2, AS/NZ has P2, Korea has "1st Class", and Japan has DS

'cause fuck ISO or something I guess

@mavica yeah, KN95 is the chinese test spec, which is mostly the same but very slightly different pressure drop requirements

still the same effectiveness though

@SammyFisherJr queenscreen

@woozle three wolf moon will always be a classic tshirt design

@InspectorCaracal it even got a sequel!

I still have no idea how that happened

The Queen did her speech to the nation while wearing green

This has resulted in exactly what you'd expect

(collection of images follows, all showing the Queen photoshopped to be wearing various t-shirts)

reggie's out in the garden enjoying the sunshine

@a_breakin_glass oh god the edstone

that was amazing

@a_breakin_glass we probably could have got away with a bit less austerity and no brexit

not exactly a shining utopia but preferable to the current mess

for non-UK people, I am not making that last bit up

this picture of Ed Miliband eating a sandwich pretty much killed all his hopes of getting elected

it was a simpler time

seriously, it's only just coming up to when we'd normally have a general election since 2015 and in that time we've had two extra general elections, three prime ministers, brexit, and a wide range of other shit

but no, apparently it would have been chaos with Miliband

also he couldn't eat a bacon sandwich properly

I'm so glad the UK voted for David Cameron in 2015 instead of Ed Miliband with all the chaos that would have caused

what?

*someone whispers in my ear*

oh

oh no

@Nine @mavica one time I was switching to an SSD in a machine

I spent several minutes after removing the old hard drive and putting the case back together wondering why the motherboard wasn't seeing the new SSD

then I saw the SSD still in the box it came in

@mavica I cannot count the number of times I've finished screwing the case together of something, looked down, and found important parts I've entirely forgotten about

@mavica it's also leaving out all the other classes!

like the social justice bard, or social justice ranger, or my favourite the social justice barbarian!
