Sad, really ... #MyXAnniversary

The Green Sheep in now on a coin. Actual legal tender of the land. I am beyond proud! Read all about it on the ABC: abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1…

@kels_316 Won't fit in the freezer

@kels_316 weird how Americans can't even say "shit".

@clare_mcivor what a weird little unit.

As an *Australian* taxpayer - I want my money back.

@kels_316 The thing that makes normal car door latches complicated is there's all the mechanical gubbins in there as well as all the electrical stuff. Those mechanisms are also what lets you get into a busted vehicle or out of a burning vehicle, so who's to say if they were worth keeping?

@innesmck I liked Inverness a lot. Not the airport especially, but it was a pretty nice town and the Great Glen Way was awesome.

@moorehn But that's exactly what a demon possessee *would* say.

You know what? Serves me right for leaving a comment in a thread full of religious fanatics 🙄

@annaspargoryan CONGRATULATIONS!

NO CHANGES. I'M BUYING SHOES.

I've sent my finished PhD to my supervisor. What should my reward be!!!

@kymtje You don't need barbed wire, but you're gonna spend all day making fences. And also building fences. Hmmm.

@MakeAugusta I'm going to print one with an NMOS and a PMOS. I bet I'll get a lot of complements.

@kels_316 Merry Christmas!
