Websites need to realise that no one ever, ever wants the site to be able to send them notifications.

Kid wanted an IKEA Blåhaj for their birthday and the quickest way was to order it “click and collect” to a Tesco.
However, this process *actually* involves an IKEA delivery driver parking his van in a quiet corner of the dark Tesco car park and giving you a call to say you have to be there in 20 minutes or he’s gone.
Fortunately the exchange passed off smoothly and the kid is now the proud owner of a full-size Blåhaj, and a briefcase full of Libyan plutonium.

sooo... does this mean Venezuela get to yoink Trump to free the USians from their apparently dodgy president?
"Trump to be tried under Venezuelan child-abuse and corruption laws"
hmm.
and for all those saying this gives Putin a carte-blanche to grab Zelenski, I'd also say that the reverse is surely also true if more difficult to pull off...
not going to bet against Ukraine managing it though
@matsimpsk nah, he misread it as the "FAFO" prize and wants another one

My dad made me a Vesa compatible holder for my oscilloscope and it turned out great! Just as imagined. Of course, it is a massive steel construction, we both would not trust a 3D printed construction with my dear Rigol.

Some photos from a frosty walk around the park on NYE. Playing with film simulations on my Fujifilm X-T20, this one was Portra 800. Fun, and not a lot of post-processing to do.

@neotoy *except* gaming? my netbook only just doesn't play Unreal Tourney at a usable speed ;)
yeah, batteries are a consumable at a certain point.
RIP removable batteries :'(
