piracy as a service

get a pirate ship, come alongside a cruise liner, board it, run a day or two of pirate-themed entertainment, leave with a cheque from the cruise line for entertainment services rendered/a fantastic advertising opportunity and tips from the cruise passengers

me: I'm sure 2020 can't confuse me much more

a bunch of french watchmakers carrying eggs: bonjour

Sometimes I feel like I've got a reasonable grip on reality but then something like this comes along and completely throws me

It's a twelve hundred euro watch specially created for timing eggs for egg mayonnaise

They called it the Egg Master

There is no sane universe where this should be a thing

REALITY IS CRUMBLING AROUND ME AND IT IS ALL EGG MAYONNAISE

The MAT Watches Egg Master

It's a watch created for L'Association de Sauvegarde de l'Oeuf Mayonnaise (The Association for the Protection of Egg Mayonnaise)

It has a timer feature to boil the perfect egg

It's being released for this year's Eggs Mayonnaise World Championship

I am not making a single word of this up

hahahahahaha

y'know how rolex has long waitlists? well, they're by specific model

so now that they've released new models everyone who was on the waitlist for a sub now needs to sign up for the new waitlist

and their position on the waitlist doesn't carry over!

it's only a commodore amiga if it's in charge of more than one ship at a time and has a fancy hat

considering it's a hemp pattern I'm expecting the green version will be repeatedly set to about 20 past 4

And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko

Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series

Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements

The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity

And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)

I want software to come on cartridges again

Not like, SD card sized, that sort of data density scares me, but like size of a cigarette lighter and they go into a little compartment in the computer

given that rolex now has 3 models where the only difference is the bezel (the black submariner, the shrek, and the grover) I wonder if the people making fakes will start doing value packs with a fake sub and two extra coloured bezels so you can wear 3 fake rolexes for the price of one

is a squobit finding bytes way around a mavigator?

just "hmm... I see this report, I sentence you to b&" *taps hammer*

yes, I do have way too much fun with this

like little gavels with a keyswitch on the head

that'd be fun

does anyone make hammers with a little switch in them that connect to usb and press enter or something?

computerfairi.es should have those of us with banhammer duties have actual banhammers
