My biological clock is so out of whack that it's soon 21:00 local time and I'm thinking: Hmm, time for lunch soon

The way I remember how to convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius scales is by remembering 68°F and 86°F, cause those are 20°C and 30°C respectively

The difference between those points is 18F or 10C, and that's all I need to quickly to some mental arithmetic

If you use a #typewriter eraser to correct a typo, remember to slide the carriage to the extreme end first, using the margin release lever if you need to, so that eraser bits don't fall in and gum up the works.

I just realized that, if your main coding PC has a document scanner and OCR software, like a cheap flatbed and Tesseract for example, then you could, at least in theory, use a manual #typewriter in your favorite hideaway as the ultimate distraction-free code authoring tool.

If your typewriter doesn't have a delete key, then take along a typewriter eraser and a writing correction tape.

Just been to London pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Some iterative dragon practices, along with another head practice I didn't use a ref for,... Rough to say the least (tags)

This thing is already cursed it was my 3rd package this year that has been misdelivered to the flat with 2 numbers transposed from mine & I had to go and get it from them

Just got this wireless keyboard. The manual says a blue light should come on & you can hold FN + BT1, BT2, 2.4G to change connection modes. I switch it on, no blue light comes on & it doesn't connect in any mode. It's fully charged. Can anyone think of anything I might've missed or is it just broken

PCMCIA is a computer acronym that, of course, stands for "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms." :V
