@Liofilizado don't worry, if I was no longer prepared to run Chinwag, I'd find someone to take over. I wouldn't shut it down.

I'm going to shut down a bunch of projects, I'm tired of working on things that go nowhere, generate nothing and nobody cares about. You win, world. I get it.
(Chinwag is not one of the things)

@bestthingsbot my stopping-all-stations train was altered to run direct to my station, giving me a seat, plenty of leg room, and arriving home 10 minutes earlier.

@dolldolldoll honestly it's not, I didn't need this when I'm already at close to an all-time low. I'm going to go find a beer and see if that helps.

they are fun. it takes a few weeks before you stop looking at any problem and think "yeah, gonna heat gun that one."
for example, mum said she'd rather go to the dentist's to get her tooth fixed.

@Nikolai_Kingsley @futzle isn't that "minimum chip" though? Minimum chips has to be two.

@Nikolai_Kingsley I'm trying very hard to take the high road here. I needed to vent a bit but I'm not going to be doing some big callout or anything.

@pelagikat @futzle IMHO if minimum chips isn't enough for two people, find a new shop.

@brainblasted can I add to that request that "join our chatroom" is a bloody stupid support option and way too common.
It needs to be something that shows up in search results for when the next person has the same problem. Have a simple public forum that doesn't need anyone to log into anything.

@fortescue ah nothing really major, just a cut cable on a cheap and shitty backup pair of headphones. No great loss really, just an inconvenience.
A good warning to pay more attention though!

@matt as a side note, that's a really good spot to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve. Got a friend who lives nearby and have ended up there a few times.
Not on the tracks, obviously.

@fortescue @urbanfuzzy yes, this.
On the surface, it's "teen girl detective solves mysteries at school" but (just like the place it's set) there's a massive dark undercurrent below the facade.
It's dark as fuck, with sexual assault, murder, class war, corruption, alcoholism just to start with, all recurring themes that keep fucking up our heroes' lives.
And most characters have actual depth. Great banter and interaction.
Season 2 also good, 3 a bit meh. 4 really good but ... divisive.
