@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

@paco Me too! Can you explain *why* you have favourite socks? 'Cos I have no idea. Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to tell which socks I was wearing in a blind experiment.
@ApostateEnglishman I’m sure I could. It’s all about feel. They’re Goldilocks: not too tight, not too loose. Not too soft, not too rough. They stay up all day long without my ever touching them. I could almost certainly pick them out of my sock drawer without looking. They were a Christmas present and so I don’t know exactly what brand/style etc. Makes them all the more mysterious because I have just the one pair.

It's the ones where you put them on and you go, "Ooh, that's nice!"

@paco you’re describing a donut, not a bagel

@cow99 You cut donuts in half and put spreads on them? Never heard of it, but I’m game!

@paco no, proper bagels are rolled in garnish, not sprinkled on top

@paco Speaking of hard to value, how about a fusion reactor?

@paco if it's a Montreal style bagel (thinner, wider) just tear it and dip it like a pretzel. if it's a new York style bagel slice then sandwich

https://www.axios.com/2025/12/19/trump-media-tmtg-fusion-energy-plans@Nazani Fascinating. I spotted a few errors in the article. I wish Axios would accept my corrections.

@paco Ha! I love it.

@paco That's how you end up with teeny tiny gifts.
Or long, narrow ones

@paco don’t believe him

@paco What kind of sad, amateurish bagel only has “toppings" on one side? Might as well just get a bun or a donut.

@paco Technically, Obi-Wan didn’t own any droids, so “from a certain point of view,” he wasn’t lying.

@paco We have something similar going with A Froggy Christmas, which is carols sung by frogs, in various musical styles.

@Floppy If that’s your style, this play list has some others you can look for. 2 or 3 of these are good. Some of them aren’t. I think the others (reindeer room and mistletoe lounge) are all good.
