Highlights from this day
- tarpit_tam — raining here too. it has been raining here since approximately the founding of this channel 08:32
- first_month_fi — we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it 09:12
- taper_tess — i made a spreadsheet nobody asked for, is there a channel for that or does it go here 12:43
36 and rising
a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive
how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons
we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it
somebody wrote mcg instead of mg again, do we have a counter for that
somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works
while im here alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here
strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it
sorry to jump in sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late
spreadsheet please
anyone else have a drawer thats 90 percent alcohol swabs
the smugness is the prize
genuine question what is everyone drinking now that alcohol has stopped being fun
who else has named their fridge
does anyone elses dog know the fridge sound means nothing for him
follow up cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now
i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs
is anyone else oddly attached to their sharps bin
the sharps bin lives next to the kettle and visitors have opinions about it, from memory
its mg not mcg
✅15😂10
we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing
whats the record for most fridge thermometers owned by one person
colin the fridge
sorry to jump in did the football go the way anyone expected
raining here too. it has been raining here since approximately the founding of this channel

raining here for the ninth day, is it doing that everywhere
still nothing shipped
seven tabs
sharps bin by the kettle
my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here
swirl dont shake is on a magnet on my fridge and it has now outlived two fridges
i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats
we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

raining here too
swab drawer
i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore
i drink fizzy water with a lime in it and pretend, and it is fine, mostly, thats just me
👍2👀1
i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend
sport was bad
🤝1💀2
is swirl dont shake going on a t shirt or are we just going to say it forever
i was awake for it
i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused, we shall see
whats the strangest place anyone has kept a vial while travelling
[edited]✅1🎉4
cold chain incident
did anyone watch that last night or am i the only one still awake at this hour

it is 4 degrees and horizontal out there, which is at least good weather for a parcel, thats one data point
genuine question is there a prize for the bet or is it just the smugness
i watched it, i was awake for most of it, and i regret being awake for the last bit
how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously
coming back after 16 months, whats the current in joke, i have lost track completely
update from 26 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter
i made a spreadsheet nobody asked for, is there a channel for that or does it go here
🧪1🎉4📈1
we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice
right so i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk
who is winning the bet and are they going to be insufferable about it
does a cat knocking things over count as a cold chain incident
