Managed to break the front axle hook on my p line electric today. Called 5 shops, no one’s got one. Brompton’s website doesn’t list them, nor does anyone else’s by the look of it.

Long shot but anyone have one they’d sell? Can’t fully use the bike without the front wheel staying put when folded.

Good to see people at the NYT haven’t lost their sense of humour. (captain bone spurs is reputed to have small hands)

It’s unlikely that Florida Man and his nuclear family of 10 will look to resettle in the UK unless things get really, really bad in the US, but I expect to see an uptick in rage heart attacks among a certain British demographic if they do start arriving en masse.

‘Donations to an inauguration fund’ should be illegal.

Any road or driving tips that one might encounter taking a driving test in Enfield later this week? I booked it in May as it was the soonest available date, but bad cold prevented me from doing a recce and practice runs this week.

For unexpected reasons, my job hinges on me passing this test, so any advice would be appreciated.

Impossible to know but hubsmith are legit and that does look like a hubsmith hub. A circlip is a quid or two off eBay, so if the bearings are good then it’s a bargain.

Tax deductible for his companies since he’s not the one footing the bill.

My ultra niche quiz question: Without doing any research or asking anyone, do you know how many municipalities exist in the USA?

Equally, if you pass the bar in any other state you are able to practice law in any of the other 48 states, except for Louisiana.

Iirc most states have accepted the uniform bar examination protocol, which effectively means that one bar exam can be enough to practice in another state (if the receiving state doesn’t have higher requirements). But the regulation is set by each state and several have limitations on out-of-state attorneys, so it’s not quite as simple as passing the bar in one state and you can practice anywhere.

Louisiana is indeed the outlier.

We push pics to their frame, so it’s easier for them. It’s something we enjoy, however, so I can see it becoming tedious.

Stories coming out from Syria about Assad’s prison system are pretty horrific. Well done Ukraine for bogging down Putin and thus helping topple Assad’s actually evil regime.

Sadly, there’s reports that Assad managed to steal a good chunk of the country’s gold reserves before he fled. The new leaders will have hard challenges ahead, although it seems that the leading rebel group has promised not to attack Russia’s air and naval bases in Syria, so what kind of government comes out of this is anyone’s guess.

Others may know more about what’s available. Aura Carver looks to have the same resolution and frame size as Frameo, which is half the price and displays what I’d consider grainy images this day in age. The upload process on their app is a tad clunky, but easy enough once you’ve done it a couple of times.

Ours constantly point out how happy it makes them to hear the ping of a new picture or see a favourite pic appear. As long as everyone understands what pics are cool to send to the frame, I’d say they’re well worthwhile*.

(There are bound to be privacy considerations with whatever manufacturer functioning as man-in-the-middle)

Hopefully the $50,000 reward will be enough to cover them if they burn themselves on the grill in the near future.

No kidding. Between distant relatives wanting cash and random strangers with an axe to grind, the cops have put a massive target on the back of every worker at that shop. 50k after tax is paltry money for how fucked their lives are going to become. It’s also between 1.2 and 2 days of the dead guy’s company compensation, for anyone interested (assuming a 365x8 schedule). Shame the estate didn’t pony up something for the reward but in their case it’s hardly surprising.

tinfoil hat what if it’s a decoy, someone with an ironclad alibi, to throw the cops off the trail?

carbon wheels territory

(fine if you live in Singapore and want to show off, not fine if you are in Blighty, and want to use it a lot or brake...ask Hoke...)

I understood the issue was lightweight polyurethane tubes + carbon wheels with rim brakes = overheating and popping tubes.

Does YouTube count? There are a dismaying number of DIY dentistry channels from the US.

They wear out. I’ve seen a few litepro ones and they discolour after a bit due to material loss. Afaik they don’t have wear lines or dimples, so it’s up to the user to decide when to retire the seatpost.

Ironically, Skinner is a reknowned Brexit Leaver, which was the biggest recent example of tories disregarding facts to favour their feelings.

One could extend that statement to most Tories.

Insurers routinely make the decision to save money by letting clients die despite paying for a policy that should have covered their treatment.

FTFY.

Extending deal until tomorrow 10am!

Bike is ready for someone to ride off into the sunset (or off to get 60kg of groceries [depending on rider weight).

Now £200, collected in Herne Hill today.

White House weighing blanket pardons for Biden’s staff and allies and others on Trump pre declared hit list. It’s something we should have seen but didn’t expect. Ethical quandaries abound, and the strategic realpolitik implications could define the future of the nation.

Another year and you might come home to Greenpeace chained in front of your fridge.
