it's 1.7m from the middle of the shelf to the wall a the end of the bath. The space available there is 0.7 or 0.9m wide at most...
I've only played with one compact projector so far, but I had the impression few have optical zoom in that form factor?

I didn't bring the bath-tray with me for watching things on the trablet yet, still no internet here and I'm wondering about a mini projector, such as the Nebula capsule that @npub1jjf…jh0u had been testing recently - there's room for seeing it up behind your head and projecting on the far wall, but I wonder about how wide it is at that distance

oh no! And I doubt they provide a bench for setting a laptop/tablet over the bath for watching movies?

Priorities: enjoying a proper deep bath for the first time in AGES 😊
Whilst I've been fortunate that our flat had a bath, it was extra narrow to fit in the available space. All the bathrooms in the new place are pretty cozy, with the doors and sinks coming into conflict if one isn't careful, but there's plenty of space for storage and things with the doors closed again.

One thing I have enjoyed - and I'm sure Disney will too - is revisiting other films in the Alien franchise, specifically starting with the less well reviewed ones. Though this does mean I have the AvP films up next before I'm allowed to have Alien or Aliens as a treat 😅
I am glad Alien: Monday is available on Youtube for everyone to enjoy an Alien inspired animated short.
Maybe I should visit Resurrection and Alien3 too, taking a long rambling non-chronological route through the franchise XD

ooh, was the format DICOM by any chance? I had to get to grips with that back in 2000 to extract frames from an ultrasound machine 😀

I'd love to have been able to vote for the Lib-Dem candidate in my constituency (well - not _love_ but I'm glad it wasn't Labour), but my ballot paper only arrived in Germany on Tuesday evening :P
Yesterday was a clusterfuck of trying to see if I could hope to spend 55 euro to have it delivered by DHL Express, confounded by the local place I got up before 08:00 for undergoing new hardware and training, so it wasn't available before 13:00 and THEN the label printer still wasn't set up and wouldn't be ready the day after. The next place seemed to suggest they were looking after the place and the person responsible was out at lunch but I could leave it with them to be posted normally... and by the time I found a third place it looked like there was no hope that DHL could, or would, deliver it in time - in a safe Tory seat with FPTP🙃
So, if Surrey Heath loses to the Tories by a single vote, I'm sorry, but I really did try 😋

Maybe worse: management?

they sound like they're on a fast-track to be grade A management pricks. Sounds like they want to absolve themselves of responsibility by passing the hot potato onto you so it's your fault it wasn't done. 😒

and the rubber nuclear weapons can only be brought out in the event that a crowd riots whilst waiting to get their hands on a cooy of Better Than Life

ah damn - sorry to see it in this state so soon after discovering it, hoping it dries out fine!

is that functional with an e-ink display?
(and I'm frustrated that I don't immediately recognise it, but I presume it's a prop replica from Stargate?)
