how dare you!?!

the only reason i have not been coming around lately is because you and Jenny have explicitly made me feel unwelcome and have threatened me over and over again. the last straw was when jenny made up some pathological scenario at a bar and told the bartender that i was harassing her after she started yelling at me. i am planning to bring this up at this week's meeting to ask that jenny be suspended from sudo room.

(I have never threatened Eddan. I do not think Jenny

has threatened Eddan. The only "threat" I can really
imagine Jenny making is for Eddan to stay away
from her. I was not at the bar, but
the accounts that I have been given are very 
different from his. I have been unwelcoming
only so far as I have still greeted and had
brief but neutral conversations with Eddan,
like asking how he's been.)

Electronics Donations

• Tools are ALWAYS welcome
• Laptops, desktops, macs, pcs, etc are almost always welcome because they can be re-purposed easily.
• Raw materials (that aren't too bulky) are almost always welcome: e.g. actual wood, aluminium, steel, wiring, etc.
  • Bulky raw materials may be handy on a case-by-case basis.
• Printers are horrible, we can't use them (ink is proprietary and expensive) and they take up too much space.
• Old technology can sometimes be fun, but consider when it should be seen as a relic or as spare parts.
• Depending on the item, User:Matt is willing to facilitate donations of electronic devices, especially ones that can be used for parts, or are in working condition. If there isn't room for your donation, sudoers are likely to make room for re-usable or good stuff.
