Geek, introvert, lefty, retired, husband, grandfather(poppa). And now! Clockmaker! Second one completed. This could become an obsession.

iso paper sizes are delicious: sides are 1:sqrt2 or about 1:1.414

A4 is 210x297mm

A4 folded in half is 148x210 or A5.

History is so interesting.

Two large O-type stars orbiting together forever, happily doing their thing and then some K-type orange dwarf flies in completely skewed from the ecliptic just zipping about and BOOM the K-type has no idea where it'll be in 5 minutes and THE WHOLE SETUP IS NOW A 3 BODY MESS.

This is how ADHD feels.

Hey, Albanese, go and fuck yourself with your fauxpology. Piss weak disappointment.
