@squirrel chan's fuck-up hour: come for the video games, stay to watch her hope slowly fade away while playing an indescribably bad Dilbert game

Okay, when writing the alt text for that image I realised why I got the strange looks when I mentioned it

I have been informed that Brown Sauce is an entirely British Isles thing

What the hell do the rest of you put in your bacon sarnies?

*notices city-wide power brownouts*

...someone's playing with the robot I see...

My mum has apparently been looking for replacement hob scraper blades for quite some time, making do with just scrubbing the hell out it

Been looking in all the shops, no luck

She tells me about it and I of course have no idea where you'd find "hob scraper blades"

I take a look and it turns out they're literally just standard razor blades with "hob scraper blade" written on it

She now has plenty after I raided my shaving kit

Rest of the world: "Letter Paper": paper what is used for letters, nice high gsm stuff with a letterhead on it

USA: "Letter Paper", standard use paper for everything, in fact used mostly for things that are not letters

I have just seen an advert for an IoT washing machine

I have no idea why anyone would want an IoT washing machine

Apparently all the journos at the Trump-Kim summit got given a USB fan in their goody bags

While it's probably just the cheapest fan available on alibaba I really want to see a tear-down in case there's any nefarious stuff in it

I looked to see if anyone still made slide rules

To the person writing product names on aliexpress; no, a vernier caliper is not a slide rule but I see where you're coming from on that translation

libel rabbit pls no sue octopus

international house of... THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE!

It's a hot day today (25 degrees, yes that's hot in the UK) and while I was out and about I saw a guy walking around in a full length black velvet coat, black shirt, and black trousers

He must have been roasting

I wish I had one tenth the commitment to anything that that dude has to being goth as fuck

I may have to build a new rig when cyberpunk 2077 comes out

Remember: Quokkas

@squirrel you might want to plug your chip back in

Okay, it seems that Trump has seriously suggested that he may stop trade between the US and the G6 countries

Surely he's not that stu... y'know what he probably is

If he does go that route it's going to end very badly
