@squirrel but... you had a db25 and wanted a db23, why wouldn't you just cut it down?

Anything else would require going to the shops and/or waiting a while for a new part to be delivered (if it was available)

Any time @squirrel uses the cw "pda" I wonder if she's tagging a "public display of affection" or her being a "personal digital assistant"

@hfrazey I suppose the shopping cart thing isn't as much of an issue in the US

Over here people would just walk home with the cart and all their shopping in there then dump them wherever

Cost the supermarkets a lot of money in recovering the carts so they put the deposit things on them

I guess since there isn't as much walking home with shopping going on in the US that isn't as much of a problem

@hfrazey OH! Forgot those hadn't got everywhere yet

In the UK all supermarkets charge for bags and a lot of them have a coin-takey-deposit-thing on the carts

You just take in a bunch of reusable carrier bags and make sure you have a coin with you

@hfrazey are they used to "open all hours"-type shops where you tell the shopkeeper what you want and they give it to you or something?

@hfrazey ...too complicated?

It's a supermarket, you put the things you want to buy in a trolley, then you go and pay for the things

LB: @squirrel also has a patreon that she doesn't promote anywhere near as much as she could

It's at patreon.com/maple_syrup/overvi

As a note, it's only North America that changes their clocks today, not the rest of the world

Also the bastard who invented the concept of DST can go to hell

tobacco 

@RyuKurisu It is however a lot less harmful to bystanders than me going cold-turkey from cigarettes

tobacco 

Decided to try the vaping thing again

Cigarettes are really expensive and vape liquid is cheaper

@codl hmm... that's going to be tough

Suppose combustibles are right out

Might be able to get one of those ultrasonic mist maker things down to that size, but then you've got to get power to it

@codl so you need something smoky/misty, what size do you need it to fit in?

'cause depending on the space you have you could just drop some dry ice into water and that'll do it nicely
