This is the way.

“it came with the shaft” (shaft as in the stick of a shovel or a broomstick)

Woke cable, probably illegal in the US

Leo’s sure look like they share the same braincell with orange cats!

Using a bidet means spraying your butthole with water to clean it after shitting.

I went to play badminton today! Me and SO both like badminton, but for some reason have only played together like once or twice. But now we kinda just decided to go and probably will (try to, at least) make it a habit. It was also nice to see that there’s some skill left, I haven’t really played in for like 10 years!

A million flies can’t be wrong.

The water near graveyards can be quite contaminated. I guess drinking it might “heal the community from the burden of an unpleasant member”, so to speak.

I read somewhere, that there have been cases of people doing laundry downstream of graveyards, because the water cleaned the textiles unusually well – this being due to the corpse wax, or adipocere, which has soap-like properties, was getting into the water. Can’t seem to find the article, but here’s wikipedia:

I’m home alone for a couple days so I’ve been seeing friends and even had two visiting today! This week’s been exhausting, the unpaid work “training” I’m doing right now (studies related) is super stressful and I’m worried I’ll end up in another burnout before it ends… What’s good about the job, though, is that I’m doing research on interesting topics – which has restored the idea of applying to a doctoral program. I’d like to be a part-time researcher part-time mechanic (or similar hands-on stuff), but I haven’t had the confidence to pursue such career before.

Oh, had a random encounter the other day and got a private tour at our local (amateur) observatory! I really enjoy such unexpected adventures!

Hootray! Much needed good news! Let’s hope research shows the rise in population to be a long term trend.

This might be of interest.

Looks like “default” to me

I have a small cargo with large front and rear racks, it’s a model originally built for factory workers/mechanics to haul their tool box (and themselves) around the work site. And I have a small trailer, which I rarely use, but it has served well when I did (I’ve used it a couple timed when me or a friend has moved flats and also partially moved a bike shop to another location 😂). A proper cargo would be nice but there really isn’t that much use for one at the moment. Occasional christmas tree travels well enough on the back of my everyday bike!

It’s similar to mulled wine but made from juice (usually blackcurrant or apple). Traditionally raisins and almond flakes are added to the drink. Very popular during Christmas time!

I did actually :D the bottom of it was on the handlebars and top pointing backwards, over the bike, I held the tree on the saddle with my other hand while walking the bike home. And it’s not even the craziest thing I’ve carried on a bike 🤣

Went cycling with a friend, it was very muddy and dark, but was nice catching up. We stopped at this little cafe for mugs of glogg. I picked up a christmas tree on the way home. We are organizing a christmas party for friends tomorrow (unless this throat ache turns to something more serious…), which is nice! I feel like a new page has turned and it’s time to start doing things instead of waiting them to happen.

Some more organizing today and also managed to continue the Honda VF500F project that’s waiting in the garage. Got the carbs installed which apparently is the trickiest part in the whole bike.

Unfortunately researchers seem to believe that no amount of cooking removes all the toxins, and in some countries, like Sweden and Finland, where it’s among the most valued mushrooms to pick, it’s adviced not to use them for food anymore.
