I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere

My take is that it is reaction that American society will be stable going forward, no election riots etc. Just business as usual.

Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.

With a set up to 80 (assuming lbs) you can go a long way. 160lb in dumbbells is a fair bit and can go quite a bit of the way. For the rest of the way single leg focused exercises such as lunges, Bulgarian squats, SL Romanian deadlift, staggered stances, dragon squat etc will do the trick.

This is the silliness that is desired. Our heir apparent have yet to take up her father's penchant for silly hats. One day I hope.

New custom map for Crusader Kings just dropped?

For me the lack of voice acting isn't a detriment. Far from it. I much prefer the walls of text to cinematic stuffs.

Always be looking for a new job, you never know when a new boss arrives and makes it horrible.

Pottery class. You are a dirty mess, every one is a dirty mess and y'all have something in common. Plus it is an artistic expression and as long as you are willing to talk about artistic struggles being "bad" isn't detriment at all. And worst comes to show you now have a new coffee cup.

Replace Pottery with whatever is offered locally.

Home (subscribed) and Local set to Hot

All set to Top Six Hours. When doomscrolling I on occasion set it to either Scaled or Active

To add with another cast iron tip. If you have cleaned with water (its simple and quick) dry it off roughly and put it back on the hot stove. This drives off the last moisture.

Last camp of the year is always special. I may have had my last last weekend but if the weather hold I can probably squeeze in another. Where I am (southern Sweden) night temperatures are still well above 5C so for me very much camping weather.

 

From their first album Midnattens Vidunder. One of the first (metal) albums I bought. Don't remember why, could be because it looked cool and dark to teenage me. Nevertheless it started a journey

 

When you just want something easy to bang your head to Arch Enemy is a favorite of mine. Nothing complex. Just headbanging good.

 

Månegarm tells part of of the Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks (The Saga of Hervör and Heidrek), the part where Hervör goes to her father's tomb to claim the sword Tyrfing once wielded by her father Angantyr.

 

What if there is a bombastic metal song covering the 1994 FIFA World Cup final with a video shot as a war mockumentary? Wonder no more because it is this ...thing...

 

So TrollfesT have made a cover of Koriklaani's Happy little boozer and dialed things up to 13. Is it good? I'll refuse to say.

Slippery when wet (media.mastodon.nu)
 

Was out riding and got to one of these wooden walkways over a wet area and then my bike went away from underneath me.

I did tap the lever didn't I...

 

Been dreaming about building a (light) custom adventure bike. Rugged, capable and can get me most places. But also de-teched for reliability and field repairability. Steel or high quality aluminium, 2x drivetrain possibly friction, up to 2.5" (or 3") of rubber. 27.5/29 not settled on but why not both. Front and rear racks. And fully rigid. So we come to aesthetics. I really love the look of dual crown forks. Their "make way, coming through" looks. Oh yeahhh baby!

But so far my searches haven't brought any proper fruit. A lot of DM forks, some shiny ones and tons of Chinese results. Nothing that says "choose me". Could be that I would need to go deeper into custom. Real custom.

To continue my quest I seek guidance. If you know any source for rigid dual crown forks let me know. Storefront or custom maker doesn't matter. EU results preferred.

Let me keep dreaming. Also at this point it is dreams, and in the dream there is no budget.

 

Hi folks!

So I got myself a hardtail that I enjoy for the most part. Except the wheels. I fucking hate them as they snap spokes left and right, and always in the nipple so I have to get everything off to fix it. Aluminium rims if anyone wondering. Fixing it hasn't been the issue until today. First issue being spokes have gotten stuck in the nipple so turning the nipple to adjust tension just rotates the whole spoke. Second issue a white coarse layer of probably oxidized nipple ruining the heads of them. I cannot even use a screwdriver to hold the nipple without flattening the head.

So what to do? I'm going to see if I can locate some anti-seize to see if that helps. Probably will end up rebuilding the wheels which I dread. I mean if the nipples are this bad after barely a year wonder how they will look after three.

Or is this amount and type of damage not to be expected and I have a shot at a warranty claim?

I've given up for tonight, nothing more will be done as I'm fatigued and exhausted. Any advice, to the left or right, up or down, forwards or backwards is appreciated.
