Ron DeSantis’ maaassive high heels. Filmed on Bill Maher’s show, and he steps straight out of the shadows so can’t immediately clock his gait but another stage video shows tip toe walking and zero heel rolling.

He’s had military bodyguards since he got his first general’s star, he’ll be fine, at least besides hopefully going behind bars for facilitating trump’s abuses of power.

Hadn’t bought anything from wiggle for several weeks, tried to buy a saddle just now and the sites down. Reason unknown, but they’ve left the same message from last time saying they’ll be back soon with a new logo and look. Wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to reinvent themselves yet again.

Low rain fall and increased sea levels have led to a backwash of sea water flowing up the Mississippi towards New Orleans, estimated to arrive on 28 October. The increased salinity could make the city’s water undrinkable, and damage pipes.

New Orleans and New York are battling it out to be the first major American city to collapse due to climate change.

Under 4 hours for a(nother) govt shutdown. Guess which party is holding the country hostage unless social programmes are scrapped? (no touching extraneous defence spending in their states, though!!)

Should be considered for certain sectors.

It’s amazing how the human mind works. All the much more acute and tragic problems in the country, but a single tree is what gets attention.

Not a dig, nor a pun.

The US legal system is fucked in many ways but their tree laws are usually good, depending on specific jurisdictions.

Some states have mandatory treble punitive damages for felling or damaging a tree without authorisation, on top of returning any profit illegally acquired.

Relevant meme.

Can I gripe about UpWork here?

I created an account on UpWork today, I wrote the in-depth detailed friendly description about a job I wanted done, I verified my gmail email and phone number, and my account was immediately blocked for somehow violating ToS. I’ve sold on eBay, it’s not that different, so I wrote to UpWork to request more info. They replied quickly requesting a Govt photo ID, a video with the ID, and something else I’ve forgotten, and they’d get back to me within 48 hours. I wrote back saying the process is more than what it takes for me to open a bank account, they’d have my details with my payment card anyway, please cancel my account. Waste of time.

I just wanted a solution for transferring content from several template-based word documents to another template-based word doc., in a manner more efficient than our current copy paste. :(

Come on now, don’t sell them short.

He’s one to watch, for sure. De Santos is the one that has me concerned. He has tons of money backing him and tons of production talent working for him, just look at the way they’re weaponising his wife on the campaign trail.

And he’s a hard line small govt repub, a racist, and has a hard-on for use of force.

For additional nuance, as a diver, one of your greatest threats is an out of control diver because they can easily get you both killed. Even beginners are told to fend off and swim away from an ooc diver.

Feeling a human unexpectedly grab him must’ve activated all sorts of panic and survival mechanisms.

Mind blowing incompetence.

Could incompetence by the deceased or could also be purposeful sabotage by a Ukrainian collaborator(s) who can influence those decisions. And the surviving Russian brass have no way of knowing which it is.

Further up in thread I think, looked gruesome.

Lol @ zing.

Not on good terms with them anymore (discussing racism and discrimination issues led to falling out). If we meet, I might tell them, thanks.

Also prolonged cold iirc. Insurance co that handled our neighbours’ bed bugs put all their furniture in a near-freezing warehouse for two months.

Glad it’s solved.

Eiswick’s suggestion of an axle spacer/washer is a solid suggestion, for future reference.

Two neighbours of ours years ago had bed bugs. They still have actual ptsd from it: both wake up at night and feel the urge to check the bed, he can’t wear woolly or other itchy clothing, a whole list of reasons for why bedbugs should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

Cheers Guv’.

Spoke head washers on a high flange track wheel: beneficial in any way?

That guy and Mark Zuckerberg are on opposite ends of the smiley spectrum.

Yeah and very pleased! Bought a pack of 20 for the road bike and Brompton, expecting to give a few away as party favours for a bday I then didn’t organise. Might list them here if there’s any interest, saves 140g!

Homemade frame bag? Looks pro from here.
