Mastodon is my alt alt? The banner is not an endorsement of JK Rowling or her franchises. I just like to choose the most cringeworthy moments from TV for my banners.
If you like my stuff I will probably rifle through your posts in return.

WOW! This remarkably well-preserved linen clothing is 3,400 years-old! 🤩

It belonged to an ancient Egyptian architect named Kha, who was responsible for the design and construction of three 18th-Dynasty royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings!

The tunics and wooden clothes chest were discovered inside the intact Theban tomb (TT8) of Kha and his wife Merit in 1906.

With almost record levels of transmission going on, please be extra careful during the holidays. Statistics Canada just released their latest report on Long COVID and found by people's 3rd COVID infection, 38% reported Long COVID symptoms ( https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-006-x/2023001/article/00015-eng.htm ).

it's a hack that people figured out on the original Apple II--you bring the shift key and tie it to the pushbutton 2 input on the paddle connector. then this became "canonized" in the Apple IIe with a motherboard jumper called X6, open by default. my IIe Platinum has this turned on by default! presumably this is the problem.
Heeeey logistics mastodon. Can you use Alibaba Freight to ship non-Alibaba orders? The sea shipping rates are insanely cheap right now, like multiple options in the $100-$300 range for a pallet weighing 170 kg. Door to door. Other options welcome, I do need door to door and customs handled for me. The manufacturer is quoting $630 which I didn’t think was too bad until i was like…let me check what Alibaba says. We’ve used their freight booking service twice so far with good results.
