Life insurance is also a thing.

It wouldn’t have come to it if Trump weren’t out for Biden blood.

The DoJ probably wouldn’t have bothered with him. If they did, they would’ve investigated him, and his lawyers would’ve come to a plea deal (which in this case they did) and the presiding judge would’ve accepted it (which in this case she didn’t). Whether or not her clear sympathies for trump influenced her judgement has yet to be established in a court of law, but it’s not unreasonable to suspect.

It’s all bonkers. The side being held to a high standard is treated as equal to the side flaunting that they hold no standards at all. Pardoning his persecuted son is nepotism, yes, but there’s zero chance the man would’ve had fair and open proceedings. It’s not in the same league as pardoning people for cash or because they broke the law to help you break other laws, which is mr. trjmp’s case.

Trump nominates his son-in-law Jared’s father as ambassador to France. Charles K. was given clemency by trump in that last raft of pardons he issued a month before his term ended.

So what’s going on at the bbc

Nothing is ever wrong at the bbc. They’re entirely ethical and completely impartial and shit gold. The inference that they’re the official mouthpieces of the state and therefore it shouldn’t be surprising that they commonly exhibit the same puerile behaviour as those in government, well, that’s nonsensical and un British and would make the Queen cry.

What’s the forum approved wrap for a p line? Bike shield?

How badly policing has deteriorated in this country.

Some aggressive asshat was disrupting traffic and loudly threatening to rape a woman then a man in Herne Hill, and after 10 minutes the cops were still no shows. Motherfucker walked away with a bike (his or someone else’s) leaving people shaking and in tears, no consequences.

Even if the cops had bothered or had been available to respond to the incident, which could have easily turned violent, the likelihood of that sick fuck getting any impactful consequences is pretty much nil.

I assume you’ve checked, but does your car have a lever under the steering wheel to adjust the angle/height?

Seems like something that would fall under DoT but there’s no appetite or capital for addressing the issue.

Any reputable studies on when the hatred against cyclists started in the UK? Seems like an interesting and impactful thing for a sociologist to pick apart.

My hunch is that it’s an artefact of late 19th / early 20th century classism, when workers increased their presence on the roads through the use of the recently invented bicycle, which must have pissed off the horse/carrriage/car-using upper class to no end. Fast forward to mass manufacture and sale of automobiles by the wealthy to the UK Everyman, and the bicycle must’ve been additionally loathed.

With the exceptions perhaps of Oxford and Cambridge, I reckon hate of cyclists correlates pretty well with Tory voting tendencies on a map.

Cheers, yeah, the battery can’t be couriered or flown commercially but the bike by itself should be fine. I’d need to purchase a new battery on arrival.

If I’m moving overseas where there aren’t restrictions on e-bike speeds, can I get an e-Brompton unlocked?

Also, 15mph is a stupid, stupid limit in a country where the vast majority of streets are 30mph and the law limits e-bike assistance to 20mph.

not believed to be a wider threat to the public

There’s an unidentified intentional murderer on the run. Nothing to worry about though, they’ve only killed people who happened to be on a bicycle at the time.

Just read article linked below, stating that the SUV followed the bikes then rammed one of them without stopping.

bumper funeral

What’s this? Google returns nil.

Not his fault there are millions of people who put a massive halo on men with the best ability to move a ball without using their hands.

Cutting 500 out of 700 jobs probably helped. (500x20k=10M).

They sorted a refund as soon as I pointed this out.

Same here trying to return something (at my cost) under the statutory 14 day cooling off period. Took 3 conversations with reps who clearly didn’t know about it, but eventually someone else got online and they did it immediately.

While technically the same bike, it’s $1200 more for that (more divisive) livery. Also the bike is a 49cm, which don’t seem to come up much in the 2nd hand market.

Also the owner has managed to break the thru axle retainer somehow…? I know some Factor have a design/production flaw where the derailleur hanger, if cynched down tight, gets in the way of the thru axle, resulting in excessive friction to remove and install the thru axle. The workaround is to loosen that plate, tighten the axle, and tighten the plate, but I wonder if they didn’t know that and somehow broke the retainer. 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps not a 707 but if it is a carbonda (or other imitation) and someone can help me prove it I’ll give them £100.

Golfclub but I have an actual question. Is this bike worth $7500usd with 4000 km of use? Client is selling theirs for that amount.

-SRAM Force etap or axs 2x12. Normal rear derailleur. No power meter.
-Black inc ceramic wheels.
-Black inc handlebar 400/90mm.
-Tubeless new corsas.
-2x (free) BI bottle cages.

Hard cheeses sealed in wax can keep for quite a while. If it’s a hard cheese, afaik it’s safe to just cut away any mould. If it’s cheese with holes and it’s mouldy, that’s probably more difficult to remove any mould.

Idk what I'd do now.

There’s a guy in Brixton who has a bitcoin server in his 2-story flat. Says he’s not making much coin anymore but he’s able to heat his house for free.

I hope no one’s affected by flooding. Storm Bert was a whopper.

Just one tracker, but £55 in 2022 to £80 now is mental.

Time to build back better.

SOLD! Thank you to everyone who messaged showing interest.
