There is no such thing as certainty. Forget the accuracy of BOM predictions, because our education system is shit people grow up believing certainty exists when it rarely does. We live in a complex probabilistic world. The more we simplify things, the less accurate they are. The sooner people...

It's a face that instantly makes you want to slap it 😁

The damage here has been shocking, this completely ruined the sunset...

They'd steal that bike in Wyong? Ah pity the fools.

My day, sick with a cold and I can't flake I have been called out. Murphy was a bastard to me today.

Same here. Bon was the best, and not just because of his vocals and bagpipes. He had a swagger, he was the front man. I saw him many times, (Midnight Oil too) when they were emerging and breaking big onto the scene and they did many under-age gigs up at Hurstville Civic Centre. You could get...

Either they're all on acid, or I am. Either way this is the worst trip ever!

Some retro funk... you can skip the first 90 seconds

very similar to Hope Tech 4 V4 too

Depends how tight the legs are but I usually pull up the leg and then reach in and hold it open like a tent space. You have SFA chance in one of those disabled toilets where the seat won't stay up by itself, you need a 3rd hand!

I scolded my bike 650B today. Its front wheel is cursed. Changed from tubeless that wouldn't stay up to TPU tubes (3rd one) that won't stay up. I have rewrapped the rim a couple of times. So I've gone over it (a lot) for any metal burrs which wouldn't have affected tubeless anyway but could...

Got these Pro E4 dual piston brakes off AliExpress for $116 to replace the Juin Tech DB1s I had that kept getting air in the rear brake line. The DB1s cost twice that at least and were very good but they must be the fiddliest brakes to bleed. Even my mechanic had trouble. Anyway these Pro E4s...

Sure if you mean a prudent approach. How can one not look at what's going on in the US? That's what happens in a country that has all too often flouted international law when it suited them. Slowly respect for the rule of law has been eroded along with many institutions of civil society. And...

I fixed the rear wheel on one of my MTBs. A spoke was broken so I just used a straight pull spoke and put a J bend in it myself - done it before works fine if you are gentle about it. Fixed it and remounted tyre and got rid of sealant and decided to use TPU tubes as I take this bike travelling...

The days for that are over, since Adam Smith wrote The Wealth Of Nations the corporations have risen and completely distorted the markets and have amassed too much market power. There needs to be rules of fairness to even up the power imbalance. We celebrate Donoghue v Stevenson but leaving it...
