Of all the things I've read on this forum this got to be the strangest one, or at least among the top ten - WHY CARDBOARD WHAT'S GOING ON  :D?

I'm a budget vigilante. It's rough going, moving up the ranks, considering how little actual crime there is here. Been working my way up from Bin-bag-Avenger to Captain Cardboard.

(yeah, summary: I'm over-tired and full of nonsense tonight).
If I were an actual vigilante though I think I would be ... Captain Valhalla

Um. Problem is that with great power indeed comes great power and I'm not sure how good idea it would be to give you superpowers. But on another hand when I tried to imagine myself in a vigilante/villain setting the first idea that came to mind was to steal 40 cakes or something, so maybe I shouldn't judge...

okay so a while back we got another guinea pig to go with our current boy,Calico Jack (we just call him Jack), and now that quarantine is over we've started introducing them

Today was their first meeting, and it went fairly well. Bandit was just a bit overly friendly,while Jack is just so mellow he didn't care

The funny thing is, now that they've been back in their cages for a while (which are now side by side) Bandit has Not Stopped Wheeking.
The poor guy keeps wheeking and wheeking and clambering all along the cage wall to find a way to be with Jack
He's not acting aggressive at all so we suspect Bandit is just lonely after being in quarantine for a month without any other guinea pigs.

That sounds like something a villain would say.

That treasure needs better guarding, people keep nicking the fries.

EDIT: not me though, my interests are strictly cakes only!

Seriously, lowest security I have ever seen on a national treasure. What's up with that, Iceland?

I don't doubt it, actually. Though supposedly they've been making their menu "healthier", so they'd probably only last a few months at this point :P

Also that is legitimately the best National Treasure.

Since I don't know any speakers of Danish outside the SSSSverse, please let me post this question here:

Could someone please throw me a bit of basic information (or point me to it, as long as it's in a language I understand ...) about the Danish Post's e-Boks project?

Well, this thread sure has put me off MickyD's for a while. ;p


Unrelated:
I've had a new coworker for a couple weeks. She's... very Irish. Every time I talk to her, I feel like Emil trying to make conversation with Mikkel.

"I know I'm supposed to understand that, but I have no clue what you just said."

One of these days I'm going to completely misunderstand something and put my foot right in my mouth, I'm sure.

It looks like it's a place to store important information and documents kind of like you would at the bank. Like a saftey deposit box on your phone. Then the idea is that you can get access to them anywhere and also transfer them to other people if you need to. Then they talk about how it's better for the environment to send letters this way.

Does that help?

I just had to ask a customer to stop eating our frames. :D She was about 2 years old I think, and one of those really fast moving children. The parental unit was actually pretty good at splitting in two between selecting a frame and watching after her but even so she still managed to try her teeth on some, somehow, even with me also trying to follow her around.
