I am sure I am not the first to send this to @bobbyllew.bsky.social but just in case.

It doesn't get much more #WeirdCarBS than this!

It's a Starbug (from Red Dwarf) replica sat outside a suburban semi. As you do.

A black and white photo of an old woman asleep in her armchair, unaware that the balloon bobbing about on the table next to her is about to be popped by a mischievous kitten. There are words applied to each of them - the old woman is "AI COMPANIES", the balloon is "AI" and the mischievous kitten is "REALITY".

Me: Innocently looks at cycle rickshaws on eBay
Also me: I could build a wicked solo camper out of this.

Can anyone lend me five grand?

A space age looking articulated rickshaw with a recumbent capsule for the rider towing a passenger capsule behind. It's about £15k's worth of cycle going for £5k.

The rickshaw, reinvented.

(Although I would charge if I were a business)

Business idea: cargo bike Uber. You need a ride somewhere - book a ride in a cargo bike. Bike shows up, you hop on and get a ride to your destination.

Fare is free, but you are required to both listen to your driver talk about their bike and ask about their accessories for the duration of the ride.

Whatever that praying means for you, get it done. That includes scientifically cheering for her wellbeing. Don’t fuss about it, just make good thoughts for a good woman.

You do feel a bit burnt out in this one Ian. Keep yourself as safe as you can.

Outsourcing the tinkering so you can concentrate on the reviews seems like a win win!

One of the sellers at our farmers market does packs of chicken oysters. I marinade them in yakitori sauce and BBQ/grill them.

Banana and marmite sandwiches are divine.

Avocado and marmite on toast is also superb.

Reading this thread while in my 3rd airport in 2 days (on my way to a 4th) and whether you travel a lot or not, it's an amazing read.

Some things I've learned in my first few weeks:

1) There is a grey market candy swapping racket between janitors, TSA agents, CSRs, and everyone else who has to stand someplace all day at the airport.

Hi-chews, sour candies, and gummy anything are in highest demand.

My money is on Nigel Farage being the leader of the Tory party before the next GE.

Paul @fucktheracists.bsky.social · 1d

Colour me surprised... a party of failed Tories wants back

And so it shall be, a 'coalition' battle at the next GE

Nearly two thirds of Tory members want pact with Reform, poll suggests, with close to half supporting full merger.
