geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 16/10/2026Had to drag this old keyboard out for a work laptop with no working keyboard, and, this enter key decision is just appalling. Why did they do this to me.

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 12/10/2026I snapped my nail clipper, something that wasn't really on my board of "things that can happen to a nail clipper". Like, imagine your screwdriver snapping when you pick it up. 270 7
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 11/10/2026Dad and I used to do a 5:2 ratio, I tried the apparently more traditional 2:1 here but jury is out on if it's improved because I got way too much ice melt in there, and it thinned out overmuch. Room for improvement! Room for practice. 020 2
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 08/10/2026I scanned this chyron quickly and thought it read "where" instead of "were" and it's kind of fun in how founder the verb means "to fail" in the sense of a ship founders (floods and sinks) or a horse founders (stumbles and falls) etymology is from Latin fundus, "bottom" as in, "send to the bottom" 120 2

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 27/09/2026If you are making pretzel caramel brownies for the function I need to stress you gotta grease that pan like a motherfucker or have, like, an ice pick ready to go, you would not believe the difficulty multiplier of angling around the pyrex and still cutting through caramel and peanut armor 180 8
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 23/09/2026My little dog loves to lie on the stairs to guard me from e.g. FedEx guys, but she also wants to dig up the carpet at that particular spot. I have installed a little bed there, and we are now at an uneasy truce. 181 8

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 10/07/2026The wikipedia page for GQ has a bunch of quotes from Star Trek alumni about how much they like the movie, with this one exception, which is really funny to me. 130 3

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 17/05/2026It is funny to me to imagine some old timey Greek drinking their watered¹ wine and not being really into it but really wanting to see if the bottom of the cup has a picture of a lion in a hat, or a dude with a boner, or some other comic or erotic scene. 130 3
