I migrated everything from Gandi to Hover when they got bought. They do a comparable email service to Gandi's old offer. Not quite as cheap at 20$ p/a but better than Gandi.

I can vouch for this, I queued with a colleague inside a roped off line outside a KFC on Christmas Day in Tokyo, alongside a life-size statue of the colonel in santa garb. Surreal.

Haha "groupset" implies there is any consistency in the parts on this bike! I'm only fussed by the brakes as the current ones do naff-all and I carry my daughter on the bike and so would ideally like to be able to stop inside 10 meters!.

Is there a forum-approved drop-bar brake lever and compatible rim-brake caliber that'll look good on an 80s Orbea frame with downtube shifting? Silver, preferably?

As an Eagles fan the end to the Commanders game was the stuff of dreams/nightmares/dreams. Great result for us, but the Cowboys made it a hard watch!

I know it’s incredibly high-horsey but before it grows too big, maybe consider a different newsletter service. Substack are not a very nice organisation.

Any good store cupboard steak sauces? Got a nice chuletón for tonight and feeling uninspired.

My fantasy matchup got blown up before the weekend even started thanks to Ja'Marr Chase and his fifty points last might. FFS, I need a new hobby.

I use continuity camera with an iPhone 13 mini and this stand and it works great, on Meet, Slack Huddles, Zoom. Silly maybe but I appreciate consistently having the best video on a call, and it doesn't have any distortion so looks much more professional.

Thanks, we’re all good as the city itself hasn’t been too badly affected.

We have however just had an offer affected on a house in the country side that we’re now trying to check isn’t underwater!

Yeah, I replaced the battery and then promptly forgot and took it in the pool. Display when Fritz briefly then it died.

Actually a replacement for this, which went dead from water. Happy to pass it on to anyone for spares and repairs.

Not Thursday but it is my birthday, or should I say new G-Shock day.

Just a heads up, with iOS 18 the 13 Mini is starting to slow, especially in yellow battery mode. Not often noticeable but now and then it gets janky, so I’d expect the performance to only get worse in the next 2-3 years.

Which is a damned shame as I love this model. Best iPhone I’ve ever had.

Also ... this! Bonkers.

Honestly I think the pitch makes this an impossibility to win, so England just keep on batting and claiming records/destroying the stats for every Pakistani bowler in the team.

I've never seen a four figure test innings score.

Pretty strong headline from El Diario today shows the difference in sentiment in Spain regarding events in the Middle East. Translation is "A year of genocide leaves 42,000 Palestinians dead and the Middle East in flames".

The subhead, which I didn't mean to crop, says "The Isreali government acuses Spain of being "a paradise to sow hatred".

I mean, Spain, Ireland and a few others all recognised Palestine in the last few months and were signatories on the ICJ case, so I'd say as non-arms dealing countries they've used a number of avenues available to them.

Define western? Many countries in the EU are loudly decrying Israel's behaviour. Does Western mean the UK and US now?

I'd say the anti-tourist sentiment in Valencia is less strong than elsewhere. Mainly people here get fucked off with massive groups from cruise ships and cycle tours that consist of 20 people unable to handle bikes properly clogging up the (excellent) cycling infrastructure.

There are elements in the old town that are angry at the lack of affordable housing as a result of tourist flats, but generally that is recognised an over-reaction to the general upward trend of house pricing here that has come with over 20 years of investment.

And my mind is boggled that one would think it is a boring city.

Also would need to figure out what to do with the 6m wall at one end. How high can ivy grow?

Thanks for all the feedback re: the lawn on concrete. I’d got as far as knowing we’d need digger hire and skips, and access is solved already.

We want a lawn as every other part of the grounds is either terraced or allotment, so we’d love somewhere for the sprig to play with a ball or run around.

I’m sure Keir is super happy this is the news right now, he’s not had to say a single thing about Israels latest war crimes which seems to be what he most wants to avoid.

What would be the major pitfalls with digging up concrete and replacing it with turf?

We're looking at a house which has essentially a tennis court (technically it is a frontenis court) that we'd much rather was grass for the wee-un to play on, and have no idea what it might take to remedy.

A very big cow.
