Watching a fine art channel. Paint looks fun. Completely impractical for me so I'll just watch

Paint is fun. People who sell the kit bits can be total Aholes. Apparently I don’t look like the sort of person who can afford to drop 15 on a stringer/rigger. Condescending ass.

Have you ever noticed that phone chats on tv and movies always have perfect spelling? ( unless it's l33t or whatever the equivalent is these days )

Can anyone tell me how much packaging material Ikea generally use with their products? I've got a bunch of things coming on Saturday and am wondering how much packaging I'm going to end up wrangling.

Lots of flattish cardboard, some strapping, the occasional foam corner. Plastic bags on any fabric stuff usually have recycle bin appropriate numbers on them.

Despite funny work shenanigans, this morning is going far far slower than I'd like... This week being my first week in the office after being sick and still having lingering little bits has me mega pooped.

Edit - a very important word lmao

I am looking to get a bike to go for rides with my daughter (and ride to work), are the Fluid bikes from Anaconda any good? They look to have good reviews on the site. Unfortuntely they don't have any in stock where I am so I can't even try it out.

If you enjoyed the silliness of the Kingsmen movies, Argylle might be for you. Or if you just want a couple of hours of enjoying a fine-as-hell Bryce Dallas Howard doing her thing.
