@OriginalGriff The first is the official Uni translation. But the second is just as relevant in many circumstances...

A couple of days ago I dropped a laptop. Missed the carpet of course, hit a wooden floor. Broke a bottom corner of the screen casing. I managed to find the two biggest pieces, which will only leave a small gap to be filled when replaced.
Dragged out the multi-pack of little tubes of cyanoacrylate superglue. Before tackling the laptop I thought I'd practice on another fallen object. It fell apart again a couple of hours later when I removed the tape I'd used to "clamp" it. Hmmm.
Wikipedia/cyanoacrylate glue... Well blow me down, that stuff has a shelf life of one year at room temperature. My stock was way older than that. I don't recall ever seeing any mention of that, an expiry date, etc on any of the packaging of the various brands I've used over the years.
My old university's motto strikes again, 60 years later "ancora imparo".

likewise!

Yay CP lives! I can hang out here and make more silly comments....

Took a bit of finagling to get two potential one-word anagrams. ;P

Yep! My first idea was "Really big heaps of antimuons" but I went the reverse.

Nope. Might offer a hint in another hour or so (if I can think of one which isn't a dead giveaway.)

Subatomic mountains? (9) think anagrams...

I presume you've met fdupes. An oldie but a goodie.

Is groups.io anything like what you're thinking of? A couple of mailing lists I was on moved there when yahoo killed groups.

Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

Yes indeed.

Red canals bear dates. (9) P, P & P - we take a 30 minute penalty, give others a go first?

Yep. Got one ready. We'll have a house guest so timing may be a bit off.
