Meh. I’ve had it lying cold for weeks at a time, and it starts okay.

Very satisfying. I did cheat and reused an O ring though. Cue massive explosion and everyone dying.

On this bike? No. Some parasitic thing? Or stock (not well received) battery?

On my other, the ground cable insulation melted due to a short.

Imma go ahead and consider that terrible picture racist. The product of a racist mind. No discussion for the racists <dusts hands>

Like I say, it needs verifying. One hears things from Ballymena.

Dunno if it’s rumour or fact, but Wrightbus employees donating a portion of their wages to Green Pastures makes me think of the sheer number of some company employees doing after-hours UVF drills in the old days of Home Rule crisis. You wonder if it was coercive.

Annnnd of course docile and compliant are synonymous. Just shows I need further education on tautology. But at least I have an idea of what I don’t know.

If the Tories had any spine, they’d be honest and abolish education for working classes. If I was a warped megalomaniac I’d prefer the plebs docile, gullible and compliant.

Education for education’s sake is goddamm empowering.

This is a good wee fillum. Reminds me of Hollywood Shuffle, but it’s books instead of film.

Missis B out gettin a herr kut. Kids still in bed. It’s just me, the cats, the dogs, the radio, my ADHD and a spaghetti jumble of a to-do list.

Leif Боднарчук 🍁 🇺🇦 @leifb73.bsky.social · 14h

Right, you’re on.

Off the top of my head, I’ve no idea which is the intake and which is the outlet. At this stage I’m guessing the out lives at the front, close to the exhaust… Another factoid to research…

And you gotta know what you’re doing. Not me though. I’m fuckin wingin it every damn day. I do try though.

It’s so disheartening to see press/news/media outlets publish headlines of articles that have no business being a headline, let alone news.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!
