somebody wrote mcg instead of mg again, do we have a counter for that
my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here

how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons

MM

i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk

CP

36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem
the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize

star mg not mcg. the correction is faster than the mistake at this point

sharps bin by the kettle

somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works

raining here too. it has been raining here since approximately the founding of this channel

while im here a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive

my money is on nothing shipping and all of us still arguing about it in 2028

update from 20 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter

📈1💀12👀10

how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously

PS

i drink fizzy water with a lime in it and pretend, and it is fine, mostly

SS

we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice, we shall see

FT

we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

seven tabs

does a cat knocking things over count as a cold chain incident

cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now

MM

the cat took out a tray. two survived. i have named them, not advice obviously

i watched it, i was awake for most of it, and i regret being awake for the last bit

NT

i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend

PS

i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore

is anyone else oddly attached to their sharps bin

follow up i made a spreadsheet nobody asked for, is there a channel for that or does it go here

MM

the mcg thing has happened four times this year and somebody catches it inside ninety seconds every time

SL

it is 4 degrees and horizontal out there, which is at least good weather for a parcel
the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused
