@natecull

German General Officer: "The reason that the American Army does so well in war time, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis"

Soviet document: "One of the serious problems in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine"

Anonymous US Army officer: "If we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions"

Very disappointed that maplestory 2 currently has no @maple related content

That's just false advertising

tiny hedgie!

@maple some other maplebots flying backwards through the air after firing high-calibre rifles and yelling "WHEEEEE!"

@maple I'm imagining a horde of maplebots giggling into battle with tiny lil guns and more of them behind them using crew served weapons and it's both adorable and terrifying at the same time

@der_Jeff@mastodon.host it's got six legs and it's scuttling around on the floor, it's quite clearly a bug

These bloody liberals saying "sunlight is the best disinfectant"

No it isn't!

If your surgeon tells you "'sallright, I left these scalpels on a windowsill for 20 minutes, they're fine" you're gonna be a bit bloody worried aren't you?

Huh, TIL that Outlook replaces all smiley faces with "J" in plain text emails

Apparently they decided to auto change ":)" to the windings smiley face in anything you send, and when that gets converted to plain text you end up with "J"

Because Microsoft evidently haven't heard of the emoji block in unicode

That bug's been in there since 2010

@meena the cat that belongs to two doors up and probably isn't meant to be luxuriating in our living room

@natalie@masto.ninja was you I was talking about keyboards with wasn't it?

Found this: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/apt-hall-effect-mechanical-keyboard?mode=guest_open

Hall-effect switches, comes with 60g springs but I'm sure you'll be able to swap them out with something lighter

@Jo ah, fox, so it's either going to be shite and go for eleventy million seasons or really good and go for one and finish half way through Changes

@maple not useless at all, you can still receive hugs and pets and love!

*offers all three*

@Jo solder them all together!

"Hey, I need a resistor for this thing"
"what value?"
