    US politics

    they should have said it was a single term presidency from the outset and stuck with that. But yeah, it's hard to know what to do now. If they reef him, assuming he co-operates, then they're going to look like they're panicking. If they leave him in, they're going to keep looking like gobshites...

    US politics

    yeah, Paddy Power is setting Trump as a clear favourite to win this thing. Fuck. I listened to clips. Biden sounds like a person with a neuro-degenerative problem. He sounded like that last time too, he was doing this slurring / difficulty sharply articulating certain sounds, similar to...

    Swimming lessons

    ah, ok. That's different. That;s probably the slow incremental acquiring of technique.

    Swimming lessons

    ...to when you get your breathing in the correct state, and at that point you suddenly get quite a lot better. You go from being able to swim to over *there*, hopefully, to being able to plough along and think about other things. You sit into a rhythm. Sometimes I've noticed that even when I...

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine

    things are looking very bad for Ukraine, if this is to be believed.

    European and local elections 2024

    ...Which leads us to the important question, who is he riding? Or does he just... take care of those urges by himself? God's hand? Does God have a few partners, or just one? Are they his wife? Is he 100% straight? Like, *100* percent? Is he sure? I'd like some clarification from any senior...

    Jaysus cycling!

    The sad thing about shit drivers is generally, they're vanishingly few. I'm not saying that all drivers don't fuck up here and there, and do silly things. We do. But there's only a very small number of people that consistently drive like cunts. This is the thing about living in a little...

    Jaysus cycling!

    27 * 1 1/4 tyres aren't exchangeable for 700c tyres, in case that was being implied here. That might end up costing you. I forget which one is bigger, but you can't swap sizes. What you normally can do is put a 700c wheel onto a frame that is built for 27 inch wheels. But, we'd never swap them...

    @GPThumped, what's kink shaming?

    Wealth inequality

    Yup. I had a multi (?) billionaire work... for (?) me. I didn't know how wealthy he was at the time. He just wanted to learn the stuff I was working on, so I was told to take care of him, check his stuff, get him working. Maybe "for me" is a bit much. He didn't really work for me, he just worked...

    Meeting People

    A friend of mine, the wonderful Katherine, was telling some people about her dog. Someone asked if the dog was still alive, and she said no, it wasn't. It was made into a pair of slippers now. Her father killed the dog because it got old. She pointed at the slippers she was wearing which had...

    I saw a thing in the garden

    What if we've been mistaking fairies for mayflies? What if this is some kind of chronic miss identification that's been happening for ages. Like, there's the photo right there. Basic Occam's razor shit lads, wake up like.

    Jaysus cycling!

    there's a place out in Ballymun called... ehh, I dunno, "re-discovery" or something. Basically cycle to Ballymun, and aim for the chimney. There's a bike place in there, they're great. They might have an old mech hanging around. Maybe worth a phone call?

    Jaysus cycling!

    yeah, then your form is probably pretty alright already. I'd not worry about form until you get specific pain, numb feet, sore back, knees, or whatever.

    Jaysus cycling!

    I think if you want to get good pedaling form a fixed gear is probably going to help the most? Like, the clipless is really just going to get your foot in the right place so you can forget about it from that point. It might tend to allow you to relax your ankle, which maybe can improve form a...

    Di2 is shimano's electronic shifting. I've never used it properly, but I think it's meant to be pretty solid. I like BMC stuff, but I'd go for Giant in the above list. They actually build their own frames, in house. As well as build frames for lots of other manufacturers. I like tubeless stuff...

    yeah, I'd say it is. I think the no-mow May thing was a better than nothing sort of idea.

    Jaysus cycling!

    ah, it probably wasn't very healthy. But it was more the swift addition of 10 kilos giving a very different outlook on cycling up hills. I'd be less feather like now. But much warmer in the sea it turns out.
