@codl that's at the reception
@rainwarrior "a moose is in the city, what would you do?"
well, say hello to the moose obviously
maybe assist in giving directions
@squirrel aww, there's no need for the maple to be startled!
come here and nibble some chips *offers big bowl of 7805s*
@squirrel wait, SKWERL TWITTER
which I guess is computerfairies
@squirrel skiing twitter?
UKpol
@squeakycheetah for the most part probably
But this is just spin 101, if you have to announce bad stuff, do it on a day when everyone's reporting on something else that's bigger
@squeakycheetah every news source in the country will be reporting on the royal wedding and not much else today
Perfect day to put out bad news because nobody will be paying attention

@Inskora @soft_chomps@glitch.social yep, used to be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
They changed it when the first world war kicked off in order to make them sound less German
@k wait, what?
THAT'S ACTUALLY A THING?!
@squirrel I love all the crazy things they used to add to their watches
For a start they basically invented the smart watch, they had watches that could pick up when your phone was going to ring and vibrate on your wrist, they had some with touch screens, some could control your tv and vcr, some you could play games on, some would work as a pedometer and count calories burned
All well before 2000
@squirrel that's a very fair point, I'd be using it for "hey, is that a signally thing coming out of there? OOOH WAVY LINES! IT'S A SIGNAL!" because quite frankly I don't understand electronics any deeper than that
And oh, a grand for a good one... yeah, I'll add that to the list of reasons I don't have one
@squirrel ah, shame
probably be better than nothing though and sod paying hundreds of pounds for a fancy one I'm going to use for 20 minutes once in a blue moon
@squirrel I'd say give it a try anyway, if it works with the new caps then you've saved a lot of effort, if it doesn't then you're out a few caps at most
