I'm trying something. This post is being written at daily.baty.net and should syndicate as-is to Mastodon (social.lol). I'm sending just the text, as if it's a native Mastodon post (no links).

20 years ago when I was feeling fancy, I bought myself a nice Maxwell Scott briefcase. At some point the strap loop failed so I patched it with a wire. Yesterday I emailed them to see about a fix. They responded today that they'll be sending me replacement parts, free of charge. Nice. I guess they weren't kidding about that 25-year warranty.
