I hate

1. DX pedal pins being too tiny to last more than 1 or 2 smashes from a rock and then being bloody hard to remove

2. Getting shafted for DX pins at a Shimano price when they're just fking grub screws

One day I’m going to open a coffee shop and every time someone says ‘Can I get a…’ I’m going to say ‘Sorry, no, we don’t let customers use the equipment, but I don’t mind getting it for you’.

Likewise the insertion of a ‘he’ (for example) and pauses or breaks in the spoken sentence;
“Yesterday…this bloke…. he crashed his bike”
When it should be
“Yesterday a bloke crashed his bike”
Not sure why people do this. Perhaps it’s for dramatic effect and in each pause they are expecting me to look increasingly amazed and/or enthralled.

Yup, truncated sentences are a legitimate way to convey drama or urgency but it's pretty overused.

Is it?

???!

Is it?

I see what you did there

Phew 😂

Liqueur chocolates somehow two rights make a wrong

Sugared almonds as well. If they were nice we'd be eating them all year round.

I don’t know man, Camille Bloch does right by me

I like to sugar my pecans. Most the year round

I hate the cold weather. For years I was ok with it, I would seek it out, mess about in freezing conditions. Now the circulation in my hands and feet just means mega pain and itching for months. So fuck this winter wonderland and ageing

Raynaud's? If you've not got one yet, grab yourself an Albion Burner (or make your own). It makes a massive difference for me and my shitty circulation.

Not sure I think it’s just savage chilblains…the problem I have is my feet swell and if I run or cycle the cold-swollen giant toes rub against each other and just prolong the pain. A couple of years back it was May before I stopped with the savage chilblains.

That doesn't sound like much fun!

Not remember to build a spreadsheet so the data can extracted easily at a later date.

(or other ppl for the matter given that I was starting from a template)

I do have the Albion jacket with built in burner if that helps though!

Brexit.
Being from a "3rd country" makes it an absolutely cuntish migration process full of stress and uncertainty

in the pool just now and my Garmin Vivoactive 3 crapped out with a blank screen and a single vertical red bar.

edited for whininess

My Garmin Forerunner died after I had this. Battery replacement did nothing. I hope you have a more successful outcome.

Shoulda bought Apple

Not sure you'd find the Apple any more capable, serviceable or repairable.

I’ve just built power query spreadsheets with an api call that then populate charts in the agreed format.
I thought I was great. Then I got told I had to build a template for when the data comes down in each of the three different combinations and one to check which way the data comes down.

Mainly because we have to build ability to produce output while we step off as a team into coding output in R.

It’s only taken nearly 3 years to get to this point.

Edit it took a month to do the work I’ve just described. It took nearly 3 years to get to this point though, because of taking data from loads of places in the wrong formats and the output “having” to be powerBI.

Hah! I know. I bought the Garmin to be a strictly business tracker of runs, swims and rides. I figured it would be bulletproof and not get clogged up with functions I don’t need (although the Apple Watch ‘it looks like you’re exercising’ prompt is pretty good imo).
The Garmin screen is showing more print through and odd artifacts. It looks like it’s making the crossing… : /

Thanks! And, well… update is that the screen is now showing a weird print through of pixels/artifacts and that tells me it might well be junk now : /
