Timex are doing some really nice stuff in their "heritage"/"reissue" lines

This is a reissue of a watch that was released in 1979, looks really quite nice

@maple we're retro!

@Nine @Lazuli yeah! sonic's helping by eating all the bugs that would otherwise eat your plants!

@kellerfuchs @SuricrasiaOnline @ontploffing oh, right, that must have been where I got the titbit from

Still got the whole "for negative numbers use -1 instead of chucking another bit on there" thing though, that sounds pretty neat

@SuricrasiaOnline @ontploffing I seem to recall ternary computers would have better energy consumption and deal with negative values a little more elegantly which might be nice for some computation tasks

@maple cheese, freshly brewed coffee, blinky LEDs, a hamburger, an italodisco album, and a bunch of floppy disks

all space games should have a moonbase-alpha-like text to speech option

like a blancmange with a bunch of arms

@maple bloop

@maple or we might have figured out some sort of colour changing hair by that point!

fibre optic hair with subdermal rgb leds!

@Jo these people wouldn't know what proper satire is even if it came along and ate their babies

long hedgehog snooters are the best

@noelle @gdkar oh those are an actual thing

It's not an after-market modification, Rolex actually manufactured those with the Domino's logo on the dial, they were given as rewards to Domino's franchises that hit certain sales goals

The scheme's still going but they moved the Domino's logo from the dial to the bracelet some time in the early 2000's

They fetch a premium in the collector's market because Rolex co-brandings are so rare

the core difference between a collection and a hoarding problem is a nice display case

did some stuff in the garden, hedgies have some new landscaping
