It’s never crawled out of the fridge and come to wake you up for feeding at 5:00 a.m.?

So I no longer have to hire a sourdough sitter and give them a house key?

Oh no, our Prime Minister can’t join their sooper sekret club! No girls allowed either! It’s their treehouse and you can’t come in. /s

“Now with extra cancer!”

I used to do track racing years ago. You always knew who was about to buy a new track frame by the loud cracking noise their bottom bracket shell made as it broke away from the seat tube when they started a kilo (1000m time trial). It was always some sprinter with enormous quadriceps muscles.

That white one looks like a cone coffee filter.

A lot of die hard right wingers view life as a zero sum game. It’s why they want to dismantle universal health care.

I sold the touring bike that I commuted to work on for 23 years when the frame started feeling really whippy, especially going uphill out of the saddle. Metal does fatigue over time, even steel.

Also, it was a mid-80s bike with a 6 speed freewheel and those were getting harder to find.

Didn’t someone do this with vampires a few years back? Pride And Prejudice And Vampires comes to mind.

The Sun newspapers have always been trash, so this tracks.

Part of some kind of animal trap perhaps?

Yeah, this is why I rarely go on Facebook any more. The astounding stupidity on public display by some people is too depressing.

That’s me the entire month of December.

The medieval version.

I wonder if dazzle camouflage will still work to beat facial recognition software, or it it’s improved in five years? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/01/privacy-campaigners-dazzle-camouflage-met-police-surveillance

Maybe Alzheimer’s as well. There is new research on lithium that shows promise for that.

I suppose it’s a bit like diamonds, which are actually really abundant, just not always very accessible.

Apparently there is now a trend to repurpose old 80s mountain bikes as gravel bikes. Sounds logical, but many of them had really long top tubes and very slack frame angles. Not sure if that really works well with drop bars. The rear dropout spacing probably wouldn’t accommodate modern cassettes without some modifications either, they were designed for 6 cog freewheels.

All I remember about the rollout of mylar banknotes was the way they used to cling together. Some kind of coating must have been added since, because they no longer do that.
