First 5k since God-knows-when. About 20 minutes slower than my PB but after The Great Year Of Wheeziness And Endless Bloody Coughing I'll take it.

Leytonstone. 2011.

Doctor: Do you cycle a lot?

Me: (wheezing) Yes. To Tower Hill every day.

Doctor: You've got asthma from riding through diesel soup.

Coach Jerry (referee 🔵) @gopher33j.bsky.social · 2d

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

The problems seem to be caused by needing a firmware update. Which it can't do because it can't connect to the WiFi because it needs a firmware update.

If you were going to invent a clunky, unreliable, counter-intuitive, piece-of-shit interface for an all-in-one brewing system, you really couldn't do worse than this clunky, unreliable, counter-intuitive piece-of-shit interface that steadfastly refuses to connect to the WiFi.

Well. I appear to be back beershootin' after a gap of...

*counts on fingers*

... six years?!

This is Shane at the Hesket Newmarket brewery, tucked away in a former barn behind the village's lovely Crown Inn.

I'll reboot my old side-hustle beershots.co.uk soon (website is offline at the mo)

Little Wheels booted a ball over the fence. I went round to get it. The neighbour over the back was propping up our fence with a huge section of tree trunk. Our trees are pushing it over. Can't see it from our side.

"You need to lop back them trees" he said.
