I don't trust this, or any future government*(or parliament) to implement something like this without including any number of illiberal elements, either by design, incompetence or sefl-serving malice, that will fuck over the already marginalised and disenfranchised.

* or any past government

I think a lot of the data and privacy concerns with regards to ID cards don't really hold the weight they used to given how much data we willing give over to any corporation that asks for it and the UK already being the most heavily video survailed country in Europe. The question of whether or not you'd have to have it on you at all times and who gets to demand to see it is a concern though.

So - because we're already over-surveiled, we should be fine with more?

What zone do people find most loathsome on their turbo trainer?

Anything which has zone 3 in it. Not enough to be "work", but too much to recover between efforts.

I find I can usually lean into the threshold stuff, as long as I have something to watch.

Wouldn't loctite suffice?

Caffeine Free Coke Zero.

10 years ago, I would have asked "what's the point?"

Now I'm all "why didn't we have this sooner?"

I can't even go beyond my grandparents

My family tree becomes untraceable once it hits Northern Spain...

Come now - they're post-pubescent, but their training regime has messed their hormones up completely.

What happened to the RSPCA privately prosecuting people for this sort of thing.

Which would you rather - £350m a week to the NHS, or £10bn to send 2 people to Rwanda?

Ethics committee? This is a DIY animal watching project...

I mean, I don't have any ethics committees to worry about these days.

Project automatic fave / dog / poop recognition machine is a go.

I'll have it feed directly into the neighbourhood whatsapp group, and projected onto the walls of the offenders' houses.

Heh - I started working on a model to identify poop leavers from a video feed. I stopped when it was suggested that the ethics committee might give me a bit of a hard time.

I'd like to shutter our entire roof. Black slate does nothing but absorb heat, it would seem.

When we open the roof windows in the evening, the air blowing in from over the roof is like an oven.

Friends

I was surprised how badly this has dated.

It's not for keeping things out...

I watched this the other day. And then started googling for vo2 masks. Because I super need them for my half arsed turbo efforts.

I usually have them in for 2 hours, but I'm smoking them, rather than cooking - they're then added to mac & cheese.

I've also forgotten them for over 8 hours. They were a little dried up.

Trump trainers tho

Taika Watiti's Time Bandits.

I now have unrealistically high hopes for this being the best thing ever.

Where do people get things chromed these days?

Specifically this (about 10cm long):

Some of Team Japan were training at my gym this morning - one of the staff said that they were one of the track relay teams.

I'm guessing 4 x 400, as they weren't built like sprinters, even if they were throwing really big weights into the air for relatively small fellas.

I like PCSpecialist - spec parts & have it built & tested too.

Just in case youre serious about these - They warp quite badly after a while (unless you buy the bonkers thick ones), and they shed plastic into your food.

I want to build a window seat with storage underneath in a large square bay that is single skin brick and am having worried about damp / condensation if it stops airflow

We're doing this in our bay window, which currently has damp patches on the inside wall.

First task is shoring up the outside (sealing the gaps between windows & mullions, repainting, adding a French drain around the base of the wall, grinding a fall into the window cill and adding a drip groove).

To keep the inside dry, I'm lifting the floor to clear up any crap between the joists, any dwarf walls and the outside wall, and making sure that the air bricks are completely clear. The rout out a vent in the floor itself.

I've asked the people building the cabinet (diyalcovecabinets.co.uk) to leave enough space between the boxing and the wall to ensure airflow.

Fingers crossed, it will be enough. If not, I'll try adding vents to the top of the seat itself.

Discounts on sweet MAGA merch

When I had my vasectomy, the room's aircon was broken, and I spend 10 minutes smoking my vapourised vas deferens.

I've also had the pleasure of a cystoscopy and the subsequent sensation of pissing burning glass shards for the next two days.
