You are doing a great job. You keep your family supported and well cared for. You are insanely productive. And your unceasingly interesting posts keep us entertained.

What more could you do?

Excellent.

So the parallel with the 1920's of rule by the unelected corrupt workers lead to the collapse of the great recession in the 1930's.

Definitely a future we don't want repeated.

I thought it would be a good idea but when I played the 1612 overture at full volume the neighbors hated it .

So I played Katchaturin's Sabre Dance and the rioted

Are you going to plant a vine on it?

What is it for?

It's amazing that we all know that Putin just assassinated another person but there is only a shrugged acceptance because they "fell out of a window".

Hopefully Trump doesn't catch on to this technique.

People might start "falling out of windows" and we will all shrug at that as well.

OK you got a point there. :-)

But people have been whining that they are fishing boats. And that link is from 2016.

Seized "Go-Fast" Boat | Federal Bureau of Investigation This "go-fast" boat seized by law enforcement is typical of vessels used by drug traffickers to smuggle their illicit cargo.

Just look at that boat. Does that look like a fishing boat, or a leisure boat?

No.

It looks like this, a captured narco boat

Sounds like your mass has relocated itself. You may be evolving into Plastic man or the T-1000.

Totally doable. Thinking about what it should be.

Any suggestions for a tall bike costume?

In a country of 300 million the <2% outliers can be a numerically big and vocal.

Doesn't mean its a popular belief.

Having just googled it there is a barrel adjustment on the handlebar switch that can be adjusted to fix it.

Bought the bike in March and since then dropped $1k! In price. πŸ˜„

I can't see why the size of the property affects how much you have to pay to get a mortgage, unless it really is a control gate to stop people buying cheap homes.

However isn't 30sqm just a bedsit? Thats really small.

From the videos I watched its slightly opening the valve so the nitrogen leaks back into the bottle. Nitrogen? Apparently. Why not oil?

07.10.2025 21:12 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Apparently the cable on the handlebars will be pulling on the valve that lets the nitrogen move from the place where the seat post ends back to the bottle where it is stored.

So I have to take it off and look for a kink or a place where its catching.

Will be fun, looks easy

A really frustrating issue as the seat keeps sinking down as I cycle.

On a bike that has only had about 5 rides, yet been in storage for 6 months and bought in another city.

Sigh...
Have a new bike.
Yesterday took it up the Port hills for the first time after my op.
All went well except that the dropper post kept sinking so I gave up in frustration about 1/2 way up.
Now have to diassemble dropper post to find out why its not stable.

Bribery. Shout morning tea if they get it done on time.

Sure it will lead to a slippery slope of them not getting it done unless they get bribed. But as a short term solution it will work.

Indeed. Any activism that tries to intimidate and coerce should be cracked down on. The guy crossed a line that in a democracy should not be crossed.

I understand his anger. Sure he caused similar to others, but once you get nuts smashing windows then your democracy is under threat.

First a window, then a bullet. And NZ goes the way of the US.

Seymour is an awful prick, but he doesn't deserve his head smashed in on a dark night.
