@Nine counterpoint: octopus can pet a whole eight other beings!

@rey I'm not entirely sure I want to be blamed for this, but it is very good and entirely accurate

what happens is that everyone goes "weeeyyyy! bank holiday!" and then goes quiet when the fact that we've got King Charles now sinks in

@banjofox@elekk.xyz ah, the classic encounter with a signature plastics grab bag

youtube is currently suggesting me a load of videos about "what happens when the queen dies"

I wonder what they know that I don't

@noelle ah, yes, variables you can't turn the volume down on

Also the new versions of the Seiko SKX have filtered out to the shops now, 'bout £250, look pretty damn good in the metal

saw a rather nice looking Rolex GMT Master II (16710BLRO) for sale in a local jewellers

if anyone happens to want to give me about 10 grand or so to buy it I'm sure I wouldn't complain too much...

@mavica awww, snuggly lil mavi!

Guy's also got videos on how to use a watch as a compass (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWCxsk0hZRM) and how to use a watch/clock/timing instrumenty thing to work out your longitude (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3a_04ZyRJE) which are really cool

Ever looked at a Navitimer or other watch with a pilot's bezel and wondered how anyone uses that funky thing?

Here's how you use the funky thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuK_77DEUfw

Also the Seiko manual for their watches with pilot's bezels is pretty good: https://storage.seikowatches.com/production/files/2018/03/20/143405391654/pdf/rt01_e.pdf
