The could times I participated, I only got one really nice thing: whisky glass with custom engraving. Still use it today

But honestly, the best was the reactions of the receiver when you absolutely nailed it

One time I had someone from a neighboring country who was insanely into all kinds of sausages and cheese

So I bought a styrofoam insulating box, filled it with several kilo of the most extravagant sausages and cheese I could find in my city, packed it with a bunch of cooling packs and sent it express to the receiver

They were absolutely thrilled

I think that year I got a mug with a dirty joke in return

Any cafe is a Lego Cafe if you take some Lego to it

Huge red flag that someone is probably going to be a person I don't like:

They run their own mail server, and it refuses mail from anyone else who runs their own mail server.

@rachsmith Feels soooo nice! Great work 💚

If you're having a bad day, take a moment to look at this baby red panda in a bucket. Or if you're having a good day. Or a just okay day. Any type of day is an appropriate day to look at a baby red panda in a bucket.

They do ask for funding from time to time, though. It’s definitely not cost-less running a big website.

yes, of course, but it’s not a business model. Which means decisions aren’t driven by profit. The issue isn’t about money, it’s how/why it flows

I frogot about Mr Topper..There used to be quite a few in central London. Staffed, one assumed, by a production line of Australian sheep shearers. Half the price of any other barbers.
