Professional cynic. The cup is twice as big as it needs to be. Staunch anti-theist. I believe "scientism" is an excellent way to live. Evidence-based progressive. Proudly nerdy. Middle-aged, white, euro-male with an excellent education, trying to use my privilege for good. Pet-parent to two wonderful huskies named Layla and Cheekoo.

Hi #stationery folks.
I'm looking for a 3- or 6-hole punch, with 19mm (3/4") spacing. The trick is, the holes need to be only 3.5mm (5/32") diameter.
Like a filofax personal, but with smaller holes.
Anyone know of such a beast?

Dealing with the effects of climate change by causing more of it is short-sighted, irrational, negligent, and immoral. Le Pen and her ilk can go get stuffed.
