    TIL that @Meetup will only let the primary organiser for a group pay the subscription. If you’re just a co-organiser, they’ll take your money and send you a receipt, but not apply it to the group. No idea where my money went. 🤷‍♀️

    @hannahcancode Hi! 👋 I’m watching a machine learning tutorial. I feel ya.


    @DDsD See, I often have the reverse problem with all the pubs advertising “crafternoons.”


    @TheRealBnut For about 5 minutes. But that’s not yarn; it’s unspun roving. It’s gonna look like felted crap as soon as you actually use it.


    @TheRealBnut Actually I stand corrected. It looks like Yooge is a knitted and stuffed tube – like a sausage. It’s also cotton so won’t felt.

    “Oh, you’re here! At your desk! I feel like I only ever see you in the office at nighttime.” A thing that was just said to me in the office at lunch. 😂


    @FakeSamRitchie I literally said that to him. 🦇


    @evanderkoogh I am living that bachelorette life, so let me know where you end up!


    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace I wonder if any of us can finish up early enough today to get a booth at Baxter?


    @hexsteph I gave up on that. Even the ones with rubbery bits don’t work. I just get the Hollywood Fashion Tape from Priceline and cut it down into a little square. That works.


    @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh @slace I haven’t been in a while. I’d say see if you can get in, and if not we fall back to SG’s.


    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Find Redoak on Clarence St. Look across the street for the opening with the metal gate through to an alleyway. Go in there and turn right. There’s probably a queue. Go through metal door and down dodgy steps. 🙂


    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Yep. Don’t get eaten by the grue.


    @slace @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh I just have to power through reviewing 9 CVs, and then I’m on my way. 😭


    @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh Get a booth?


    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers Is it busy yet?


    Sometimes the best part of being a grownup is being able to recreate the things you loved as a kid. ❤️😲 https://t.co/srztXtP1Is https://t.co/AwyyHDc2xP


    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers I’ve done enough. On my way.

    Interesting. Both Oshri from @BPAY_AU and @Grant_Simonds from @Telstra have found mid-morning (10-11am) is the best time to kick off their releases. Team is caffeinated and ready to go, and customer impact is minimal. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/l5hr6y6FYo

    Closest @unlikelylibrary and I have ever come to an argument: Captain America vs Aquaman. (For the record, while Momoa is hot, he also looks smelly. Captain America = #1 forever amen.) https://t.co/7Zd3IU6E2V


    Well that’s different. 🦄🍷 https://t.co/t5Uqje17DG https://t.co/gQ61n1Qx0t


    @seemomster @unlikelylibrary No, as in Jason Momoa always looks like he hasn’t showered in several days. Fortunately it seems @unlikelylibrary is into that. 😐


    @mattallen Quite possibly. I was not a big fan.


    @ManuelaDavo @unlikelylibrary More of an “unshowered” vibe.


    @tomandlorenzo I just realised that there’ll be a 24 year age gap between Stu and Frannie. That feels a little icky to me, regardless of how young Marsden looks. 😕


    @tomandlorenzo Just checked – Sinise & Ringwald had a 13 year gap.

    @Hatchman76 @seek Or was it a year? Still a big improvement over where they were!
