@0x47df even after 12 years of EMF events I consider myself to know just enough to be dangerous when it comes to making anything physical. Still there for the vibes, but I’ve picked up a thing or two (and several half-started hobbies) over the years.
@0x47df you’ll be fine, the typical EMF attendee knows lots about one or two specific subjects, and is a barely functioning wreck in many others. The beauty of it is that once you distribute that over 3000 people or so you’ve got all the bases covered and suddenly amazing things happen.
@astrid @gsuberland just run strings over it, it’s the only way to be sure.
@internetsdairy I do love Yorkshire puddings but I’m not sure how they’d help my knees.
Pro tip: when ordering a takeaway on the phone don’t stand in your open window while loudly reading out your card details. I’m not going to use my neighbours card to order something for myself, but I totally could.
@solderandchaos easily the most immediately terrifying query I’ve had on site. My immediate answer was “take it back outside”, I think it eventually ended up buried in a bucket of sand.
@solderandchaos is “what should I do with this very spicy pillow” covered yet?

@HeNeArXn @Edent @pikesley @andypiper kids tickets don’t need transferring, we’ll have something in place to allow workshop booking for them.

@vncresolver you’d think they’d have made a bit more progress on whatever this is since the last scan.
Next time round I'm going to call up every supplier who spams EMF suggesting they can replace [thing] for us just to see how confused they are by the requirements. "Yes phone supplier, support for dial-up networking is crucial, as is fax to ActivityPub."
@catsalad I don’t think I’ve ever met a cat which speaks goose before.
Landowner David Hampton planted larch pines in a Douglas fir forest in Oregon in the shape of a giant, 300 feet smiley face 🙂
Every autumn, the larch pines turn orange, and the smiley face stands out.
it's not an underpowered, headless, single-board computer, it's a ...
The average festival does not result in thousands of lines of code in the preceding month. Electromagnetic Field was an outlier and should not have been counted.
Someone just walked into this pub with a child and a ukulele. As far as I’m concerned that should be grounds for getting instantly barred.
