I like them but I don't know if its too tacky
They seem very simple to make.

So it’s like a BBQ then. Well I’ll probably have a go later this year, might make it on the news if something really bad happens

Does seem easy.

My friend has finally bought their own place and is making a full Lego room
They are proper addicted though, seem to buy a set every week! Fortunately it’s something I never got into!

It’s just environmental handwringing in case a bit of gas escapes but it’s fine with new cars having totally exposed condensers that get a hole in them every few thousand miles and then going to a backstreet garage to keep regassing them every 6 months…

Anyway I just looked again and it appears ...

Waited until this evening to go in the workshop to do my various tasks, 34 degrees, but midday it was at 47.
It’s annoying they don’t sell those third world/US style AC window units here and the portable ones that put out decent BTUs cost more than a proper split system. The pre charged split ...

Apple music, Amazon music, Youtube, Deezer, Tidal... Pick yer poisson.

I wonder if similar to the Covid era it's related to the chip shortage which is expected to last a few years.

I thought it's to put AC units outside. Hopefully this doesn't put us into the next ice age.

The responsible thing to do is to store those logs for eternity so the carbon remains locked up. Otherwise you’ll join that list with Pol Pot and Elon for killing people.

Just listening to the first few seconds of the video - if you’re gonna put fake noises why not make it sound nice? It sounds like a car from an Atari game ffs. Also surely it should rev up to 11.

That's his weaker left hand...

It was a pretty small shaft so I didn’t want to break it off.

Just replaced an old router with another old router - Apple Extreme. Box said 2013

Still have a new Express in the box too. Should probably be in a museum!

Not long enough to unload unfortunately.

Also fans of puns may want to check the TFL app again!

I was due to collect hay this weekend, but the farmer messaged yesterday to say I need to do it today by the latest as it will rain on Saturday.
I was trying to avoid manual labour on the hottest day so far…
Loaded it all up with his wife who didn’t break a sweat. Farmers are built differently ...

It’s quite common to see trees in woodland that have been struck. I milled one a few years ago but the wood was totally unusable. A lot of the growth rings inside the tree had completely separated from each other so the whole thing was like splitting an onion with the layers coming apart.

If we use the London clean air statistics the EVs he’s sold and kick started along with chargers have probably saved a billion kids from dying from asthma

Nice. If a second parking space in London didn’t cost me £3500 a year I’d have a Honda e purely for the city.

I use the Nationwide one, it’s well worth the price. I think they’re all vaguely the same but the cover follows the bank account keeper, so I can sit in anyone’s car and if they have a breakdown that car will be recovered. Covers trailers too.
Typically cheaper than getting EU breakdown cover for a ...

Modern cameras annd cars are just too good. The top formula car just looks like it’s on a Sunday drive and the EV not much better.

They/Trump reacted exactly the same in the 2020 Iranian attack on the same bases. 100+ soldiers had brain injuries and never fully recovered. Truth only came out a few years later once the soldiers started speaking out.
