10·10 months agoIf I had money, I promise I’d do something useful with it. Like putting up a shed in my garden.
Shame they didn’t mention grandmothers, they can be the most patient listening to ramblings about Arch.



In my language it’s known as “key incontinence”, from the sudden incontinence experienced when turning the key when you get home.
