I think Sadiq Khan may have missed a trick by not turning up at that balloon thing today in a yellow bikini

I mean yeah, "dignity" and everything but it would actually have been a bit funny

Since we already call the fediverse "the 'verse" does that mean that the bigger instances are the alliance and the small instances are browncoats?

When life gives you lemons, life probably stole them from the computerfairi.es lemon tree the thieving bastard

I swear to god that one of our hedgehogs is the dimmest creature to have ever lived

They were trying to find the biscuits

They were snuffling about for quarter of an hour no more than 20cm away from the dish trying to find the damn thing

They looked straight at it and sniffed it no less than three times before eventually cottoning on to the fact that yes, the biscuit dish was in fact the biscuit dish they were looking for

I love the adorable lil bugger

Oooh, shiny

New Grand Seiko models, quartz, yeah, I know, but these are the high accuracy quartz ones with the limited edition (middle) being +-5 seconds per year and the standard models at +-10 seconds per year

Also, I'm a sucker for a good GMT complication

In the UK, the HSE requires that all portable electronic appliances used for businessy things be tested for safety, this is colloquially known as a "PAT test"

I have no idea what this actually consists of, but I'm going to believe that it involves softly patting the appliance on the top while saying "aww you're such a good lil appliance, aren't you a good lil appliance, you're not going to give anyone a shock are you 'cause you're such a good lil appliance!"

Not to brag or anything but our wonderful admin silenced bofa.lol a fortnight ago

She's just that good

One of the hedgehogs just wandered to the cafe, looked over at me, half rolled over showing their belly, scratched an itch, entirely forgot it was going to the cafe, and wandered off

Anyone got the betting odds on if wilw leaving the fediverse will finally kill the discourse about him?

On the news: "with the weather animals like hedgehogs have had a really rough year"

Not in our garden they haven't, bloody 5 star hedgehog resort over here

medium hedgie fren and lil tiny hedgie fren!

with solid state storage being far less susceptible to acceleration-based damage, IP over trebuchet may be a viable method of transporting 90TB over 300m

I absolutely love the MB&F & L'Epée 1839 clocks they come out with from time to time

They're just so fun and cool

I really need to set up an automated camera by the hog cafe

There's a tiny one that comes by that I haven't got a good picture of because I'm far too busy going "AAAAAAA! LOOK AT THE CUTE LIL HEDGIE HE'S SO ADORABLE LOOK AT HIS CUTE LIL NOSE!" to grab a camera

Do you lot, in fact, drink Um Bongo?

After testing, it seems that hedgehogs massively prefer cat food to dog food

We tested the same brand, both chicken flavour, and the hedgehogs wouldn't go near the dog version

Sample size is relatively small, but we're limited by the number of adorable lil hedgies that wander by
