our cat reggie needs ear drops

any time we give him the ear drops he gets all wiggly like "nope, sod this, fuck off, don't want" and tries to escape

any normal cat you'd expect to run off after we're done and let him go

not our reg

he makes a massive show of trying to escape then walks right back over to me and stands there all "milk now? been good cat. want milk"

@mavica bottoming-out eh?

@mavica mx clears are nice clicky and heavy

what if the hokey cokey really is what it's all about?

Pro-tip: it's only illegal if you get caught

also, if you do fuck it up and have a bubble of air in there you can say "oh, that's intentional, it adds a spirit level feature!"

Here's a good demonstration of what I know of as a "hydro mod" for a watch

It consists of filling a watch with an oil to give you a wider viewing angle underwater (due to refractive index stuff that I don't really know enough about optics to understand) and increased water resistance

It's pretty cool, and not too difficult to do

@mavica how's the keysmashing action?

mavi's the best robot and so cute and good and nice and we all love the mavi!

@mavica softer paw paps required! the softest of paw paps

@mavica yay! all good and comfy for your paw beans!

@douglasfur just not as smol

I like smol cars

oh my god

the suzuki mighty boy

it's a kei-sized ute

AND THEY ACTUALLY CALLED IT THE MIGHTY BOY

@mplouffe@scholar.social probably a little more spread out, most watch brands probably have all their stuff scheduled to be ready to go around nowish though so quite possibly a fair few coming out in quick succession as soon as they figure out what they're doing

Watch news: Baselworld has been "postponed"

to next year, so cancelled

@mavica yay!

@arcans oh yeah, that was a whole thing when the second guardians of the galaxy film came out

admittedly the only "fitness" I'm interested in is fitness pizza in me mouth but neat features are neat

cool new G-SHOCK release, a proper fitness tracking watch thingy!

The GBD-H1000 series

https://world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/products/g-squad/gbd-h1000/

Has an optical heartbeat sensor, GPS/GLONASS/QZSS, altitude, barometric pressure, and compass

Also, most interestingly, solar assisted charging! The timekeeping and notification features will keep running just on solar, the GPS and heart tracking needs more juice so topping up the battery with the charger is advised after using that
