Marvel: "Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history"
Me:

Few nice releases from Sinn this year, nothing that particularly sets my world on fire though

Not sure if I should be disappointed or relieved that I don't have to sell a kidney

BASELWORLD!

Current most exciting thing of the show, Tudor Black Bay GMT

41mm, pepsi bezel (!)

I want one

Holy crap, Breitling have released a version of the Navitimer in an actually reasonable size! 41mm

Hell must have frozen over

Seems I can put "fixing electronic adjustable beds" on my list of skills

Charity shop my dad works for got a non-functional adjustable bed donated, asked me to take a look at it, turns out it needed some new relays

As a standard bed it would have gone for £20-30, just putting £4 of new relays in there means they can get £150

Not a bad 10 minutes work

(underwater awoo sounds)

Haven't used this emojo for a while:

It's a @squirrel eating a hamburger, it's a very good emojo

Me: "I can't figure out why this printer isn't showing up..."

Dave: "Oh yeah, I unplugged it"

Me: "Goddamnit Dave"

With all the deleteFacebook stuff happening at the moment, is there a decent facebook alternative I can point people to in the same way that masto is a good twitter alternative

New piece of ridiculousness from MB&F & L'epee 1839

The Fifth Element, it's a desktop weather station

MB&F stuff is always fun

Things that confuse me about the US medical system #32147:

Brand names for all medication

Especially when there are multiple brand names

Let's take a simple over the counter medication as an example: Addaprin, Advil, Bufen, Caldolor, Cap-Profen, EmuProfen, Genpril, Haltran, I-Prin, Ibuprohm, Ibu-Tab, Midol, Motrin, Nuprin, Proprinal, and Q-Profen

IT'S JUST IBUPROFEN DAMNIT, YOU DON'T NEED THAT MANY NAMES FOR IT
