I bought a bike frame in 2015 and collected the parts to build it up. Started again recently except now I’m second guessing the shifters, and what if I went for a different gear range, and is this headlight mounting bracket really the best option for the dynamo headlight, and…

Yeah, it’s not leaving the garage any time soon.

Did he have to rent equipment when he got there? As I understand it, it’s pretty much impossible without supplemental oxygen. Edit: looks like he did without. Even more amazing.

They can be washed and reused at least.

A lot of the grocery store cashiers where I live are starting to wear masks again. Their employers took away the plexiglass sneeze barriers, so they aren’t taking any chances

Who says I donate and volunteer??? I have never done that for any political party.

I wonder how many of the new Truth Social accounts are bots and how many are MAGAs pleading with Trump to return their health care and SNAP benefits?

I ran into MAGA nutter for a while there in the summer. He kept changing his user name, but it was blatantly obvious it was the same person. He eventually got booted off the platform for good after the moderators yeeted enough of his sock puppets.

It’s inevitable that a few will creep in, I suppose. Just keep flagging them.

Any chance the Marineland beluga whales could be shipped there?

They stood no realistic chance of getting in.

What was the alternative? I would have loved to vote NDP, and usually do in local elections, but they stood no chance. I wasn’t so much voting for Carney as against Poilievre.

If you think of distance in kilometers, houses in square feet, buying vegetables in kilograms, and your weight in pounds, you could be Canadian.

Nah, I didn’t get to be a 67 year old cyclist by doing dumb things in downtown rush hour traffic. In any case, starting from all those intersections when the light turned green was great training for the velodrome. I was a mediocre track cyclist, but my standing start was pretty good, due to getting out of the saddle and getting up to speed as fast as possible every single commute.

Sometimes I will watch an instruction video on YouTube and say “Nope, that’s worth paying a professional for”. Other times it’s very useful, such as when the flame sensor in my furnace needed to be cleaned. It’s a wonderful resource, really.

The Ordovician period was 485.4 to 443.8 million years ago, so there may have been fossils in that layer that were long dead and turned to stone 400 millions years earlier than the slip, and then another 50 million years after that, there are modern humans speculating about the cause of this slippage.

I sort of get why some people are attracted to creationist beliefs about earth being only 6000 years old. Those time spans are dizzying to think about.

What if it demands to be picked up and perch on my shoulders?

Our two don’t seem to go much for laser pointers, for whatever reason.

Obsessive marshmallow

Since the Bay closed, it’s the only good source for housewares, unfortunately.

Conrad Black left his mark on it. He’s very chummy with Trump right now.

Oh, I don’t know. Waterbeds had a certain reputation back in the day, nudge nudge, wink wink. That’s probably why my oldest brother kept his so long, and why he and his wife had so many kids.
