If you see me posting about politics please hit me in the head with a shovel. I used to be "angryaboutbikes", I'm still angry about bikes.

Watching WoW clip compilation and suddenly Tony Hawk pops up, making fun of a very specific player who died at level 58 to fall damage. I Googled it and the only results are AI generated nonsense assuring me that while often injured, Tony Hawk did not die to fall damage. Feel like I'm going insane.

Rereading The Cuckoo's Egg after a decade or so. Second time around it strikes me that the first 30% of the book is fun hacker tracking stuff, and the last 70% is the west coast lefty author complaining that US Federal agencies take ages to file paperwork, but the CIA and Air Force keep people safe

"Well that's a sign of overwatering"
"Okay"
"But it could also be under-watering"
"Got it"
"It could also be a nutrient deficiency"
"Ah"
"Or a nutrient overload"
"I see"

Made Nandos at home the other day, I set the proper ambience by playing Spanish guitar music at ear-splitting volumes in the downstairs loo

Max Miller lays claim to historical foodstuffs from ancient times all the way up to World War 2, but beyond there is the territory of Jamie the Anti-Chef. The two sides fight bitterly for control of the 1960s, while fending off guerrilla raids from Weird History Food

HOT UK CYCLING TIP: I just found out that the place I used to lease a bike from went bust recently, so there's a bunch of new or lightly used commuter bikes on eBay, and they're worth way more than a comparable new bike at the same price imho. They're on eBay etc as "BuzzBike". Solid bargain

Landlord needs to be dragged across hot coals
I have a case right now representing a tenant where the landlord posts signs they call "motivational" telling tenants to "stop being lazy" and "racism is an excuse" and "get a job" and I just want to talk to this landlord

Nine times out of ten the reason I stop scrolling on this app is because I accidentally hit this button and got launched to the top of the TL. I hate this button so much? Why can't I turn it off? Who put it there, right in my thumb's way? Fuck yooou

I got an old office PC tarted up to be a gaming PC and plugged it into the TV like it's a dodgy console, now I can play all the stuff I've wanted to play for ages but can't because it's not on the switch. I'm gaming unplugged, baby
