Does anyone feel like doing a TLDR for that? I tried following it, followed by skipping through a load of GODDAMN AMERICAN trash talk and then couldn’t pick up what he was trying to achieve.

I’ve got a plier wrench from one of those £9.99 bubble packs which my uncle bought for me when I was 18 or 21. All the tools in that set are long dead or gone except that plier wrench and I use it all the time, minus the rubber originally moulded on the handles. 25-30 years later, take your pick, maybe it’s time to invest in that Knipex one.

Those teeth. The over-centre clamp. What’s not to like?

Granada

Valencia does vegan 👍

I'm putting together a groad bike

Groad? What even is that, a geared road bike? Geared? Are you sick in the head or something?

Don’t know, that’s a bit past my knowledge of preserving and fermenting. However, two examples which might answer your question: 1. kimchi you salt from the beginning and it continues to ferment. 2. bread dough you put salt in from the beginning and it doesn’t stop the fermentation. So I’d say it’s not put in to arrest fermentation.

Salt is traditionally used to preserve meat etc because when it’s concentrated enough it creates an environment where bacteria can’t survive. Except for botulism, which can survive a high salt environment. That’s why salt petre (potassium nitrate) is included in curing salts, because botulism can’t survive when it’s present.

The one at the front of my [context: retro orange and brown 1970s] tent is longer than the one at the back.

Can you brine dry or otherwise vegetables? Not taking the piss, just interested.

Yes. It’s basically what kimchi is and it’s done extensively in India to preserve vegetables. Traditional lime pickle is salted. Pretty sure sauerkraut is just salted too.

Has anyone here managed to get a Chromecast to work without a WiFi network? I’m trying to cast from my iPhone using the iPhone’s 4G/5G and the Chromecast’s guest mode. I cannot get the two to talk though :/

We should do a forum ride to Altnabreac! Bring some of the forum frozen sausages for the lols.

FTFY 😀

So you’re on some kind of mission now? To prove what to who, exactly? Don’t you have something better you could be doing with your time, like going out for a bike ride or building some IKEA furniture? It’s just a YouTube video.

Sorry, why are you so interested in this and spending so much time on it? More important, why are you spending money to get involved? Do you have some kind of financial interest in what’s going on?

Hot shit. Looking forward to this.

New commute. 14 miles and it goes through Bushy Park. Absolute ledge earlier on a leccy skateboard!

Also got my record player apart to do the conversion from DIN to phono/RCA plugs, but I decided I’ve had too much wine to drink to accurately drill the holes in the back. I’ll do it tomorrow.

Golden moment for this thread!

Recently moved house and managed to smash a valve in my preamp. Annoyance. It had 4 matched soviet era valves from the same manufacturer, same batch, dated 10/86. Replaced all 4 with same soviet brand, same batch dated 1/77. Not quite as sweet and detailed as the 10/86 batch, not as much big bollocks bottom and a slight hiss on the left channel. That means I got probably got lucky with my first batch and I probably have to do some tube rolling to make it sound how I want it! Got a really nice pair dated 66 which usually live in my Mullard 3-3 valve amp which could sub in if necessary.

That looks like a pretty acceptable bacon roll!

The ones which are £100 per brake and discontinued?

You can still get the alloy ones, TRP Eurox, but I wasn't going to recommend them because you need to have a hand grip like Geoff Capes to be able to stop your bike. Forget about emergency stops.

Same as the carbon ones thoough, dey look so nize?

Play-doh

Cannot stand the smell 🤢

Is there one that's easy to set up with only two hands and no more than two allen keys and offers good braking?

I think you can only choose two things from that list, but someone would have to confirm.

we preground the coffee though

Savages.

Aeropress and a bag of coffee.

133 miles from my work (Teddington). Only gone as far out as HDIJ in that direction but I know the M40 is very up and down. No idea what the non-M roads are like on the route but I’m guessing this might be for the braver riders.

Splendid!

I’ve got 2 tickets but don’t really fancy driving up there. Group ride?
