No pun intended

Literally incredible

Here's a Le Mans winner absolutely gunning it in an old Ford Galaxie... Bit of a treat for racing fans

That's cool, I love only the minutes/seconds marked...

Does it sweep?

Our 'justice' systems are anything but.

Imagine people demanded that whole angle of managing society to be reformulated in light of the last century or so of science...

How fucking obvious does it have to be before the penal system is seen as the vast net detriment it actually is? Are people really that fearful and easily turned against each other?

Why is it so hard for us to see who we really need to turn against?

Oh yeah, here's the other killer app for these

Now that's a snappy reply

Sweet Jesus. Had no idea this was a thing! This is not good. Not good at all.

Pretty tempting rabbit-hole, innit.

How about this wrinkle - an FPV cam at driver's perspective!

Been meaning to stick the one from my fried drone onto a car... Something a lot faster though

Fancy!

Brandishing an expensive education perhaps...?

:P

if I need to drill pilot holes

I have never regretted drilling pilot holes.

Except when I made them a tad too big that one time

Well, he does get around to mentioning Project 2025 at the end, where it becomes clear that's what the title of the video refers to...

But the interesting part is how he's also talking about wealth distribution, which has been Bernie territory up till now - Reagan started smashing the middle class, and Clinton happily jumped on that bandwagon, with Obama doing bugger-all to turn it around beyond the watered-down ACA.

Biden had kind of embraced something of a return to FDR style government (without really ever saying Bernie was right all along), but after half a century of bipartisan neoliberalism all over the world, I think I can be forgiven for being extremely sceptical and suspicious of anyone from the gang of culprits responsible promising an end to it.

My suspicion isn't eased in the slightest by the Dems' embrace of influencers in place of actual journalists during their campaign, and the way that video is put together has me picturing some canny marketers who know their old schtick is on the nose these days, saying how Walz' big selling point is his lo-fi granola authenticity, let's lean hard into that.

He's certainly a Trojan horse for the same old business as usual on the geopolitical stage, unlike actual Bernie, but it would be interesting to see whether there's any substance to that 'restore the middle class' vibe... Maybe it's the Dems' actual stance these days? If so, it sure would be nice if our pretend left parties decided to follow suit one day...

So there's this...

An actual, mildly refreshing breeze of sanity, interrupting the near-constant, rancid gale of neoliberalism we've been soaked in for decades - fancy that.

It's like a third of the way to where Bernie's standing, at least in tone, and it's coming from an actual VP contender, no less. Dare I take this as a glimmer of hope that we might finally start thinking about maybe starting to close that stable door?

Why increase the likelihood of spills?

Ponciness

Thanks for the pep talk

How the hell has she done this?!

I think the pictures tell the story - the chain seems to have been pulled out of position during a multiple shift to a much smaller cog, and then the missing part of the cage got ripped out. Somewhat surprising though, maybe there was a manufacturing defect in the cage, at the lower point of the missing bit?

As a father of a five month old, I keep wondering how the hell our species ever made it.

He's gonna be roughly this useless and annoying for years! Good thing his smile is so cute, but even so.

Sure, and you're not bending that straight again either.

But I bet it took an arseload more force to do that than would've finished an ally rim. Unless maybe it was because your tyre got deflated?

...

Kids today, or ever?

Wait, serious question, is this

(as a nuerodivergent I have to take others' word for it because I pay most heed to the actual words employed, and add the nonverbal stuff on top as modifier - crazy, I know).

Not what everyone does?

Dude - you think the world would look like this if everyone actually paid more attention to the meaning of words than all the semiotic garnish around them?

We wouldn't have a marketing industry!

entirely because he was on TV

It's one of many necessary elements of his incredible rise to become the exemplar of contemporary fascism.

That craving for all those superficial trappings of success; the sociopathic vacuum of a psyche; the Rorschach blot patter laced with poisonous resentment. He's the whole package, come to show what happens when living memory of what happened the last time dies.

Sounds like a lot of trouble for something that iffy...

Carbon all the things anyway. Aluminium is obsolete for rims

Gateaux are sloppy, wet excuse for decent chocolate cake, anyway

now enjoying an microwaved underbrewed coffee. Hopefully it will assist me with making the next ones.

Bootstrapping. Reminds me...

Last century, when I lived on instant coffee and ciggies, during a stretch of brokeness bad enough that I'd be going hungry, I woke up one morning absolutely bonked; no glycogen - I could barely drag myself out of bed.

Staggered to the kitchen to make a coffee, and horror of horrors, no milk! Black coffee literally unthinkable. I couldn't imagine how I would survive, barely able to lift a finger. What saved me was a gulp of flat Coke left in an old bottle in the fridge - that gulp of flat Coke was the most miraculously enervating elixir I've ever swallowed.

I then had just enough energy to carry my bike downstairs and ride the 100m to the milk bar around the corner and come back to put the kettle on. It felt like a brush with death!

It is if you're not in the UK... And not on a site with 'London' in its name.

But of course I had no idea what the reference was based on

Will report back. I have to get around to trying this - it's been percolating away ever since that win with the pedal, and tickling my brain every time I had to put too much force through an inevitably sloppy cone wrench and dented it.

Wonder how fast I can go with the grinding without annealing it... Better err on the side of caution.

Should I just grind it on one side, for clearance? I guess I make the strong side point in the undo direction.
