Why do so many bearings use this font where the 5 and 6 look so similar?

Happy 6/26!

What year is it?

I still can’t get on board, at least aesthetically, with the levers pointing in. Is it a “try it, you’ll like it” kind of thing?

IG UI is making this bike path’s slogan seem a lot more aggressive.

This is real visual storytelling

These fog lights make it a 10/10

Astonishing lack of effort on some marketplace ads

@midnightdorifto.bsky.social uh…Raise Hell, Praise Dale?

This graphic could be a horror movie poster or a bombshell exposé

I want the forbidden ice cream

That’s a freebie

We have to get to bed early so we’ll just have to simulate tonight’s game.

It’s a good thing it’s a Sprinter so it has room for all these red flags

I have reached my “upstairs Advil and downstairs Advil because I got up wrong and screwed up my back” era

Necessary mid-run pickup inspired by @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social

That’s right, tire

Thought about it then remembered I’m almost 40 and don’t heal as fast anymore

Happy 4/2!

It’s nice out again so the local Mister Two is back

This either has 30k or 300k miles

The 0 and 1 are straightforward enough but the 2 and 7 could be challenging to lock to cc: @pflax1.bsky.social

Majorette naturally made a few different 205s, as well as Matchbox but TIL Hot Wheels did one too.

How is Reggie Miller only half a bar on 3 ptrs? I’m writing a letter to Midway about this.

This must be confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the brand 100%

@sethrosenthal.bsky.social This is relevant to your interests! youtube.com/shorts/EZHhs...

20.26 mile run done. Now the year can begin.

He intuitively knew the Maserati should go to its native habitat

He figured out what it is pretty quickly

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

@nirkahn.bsky.social It’s like that photo of someone loading luggage in the back of a 911.

There’s no way to know what it is

@lchupacabra.bsky.social @latimeriidae.bsky.social it’s mint!

The AI summary is helpful as ever.

Dang. I posted this last night and should have waited a day.

Wemby-sized Panasonic feels @russbengtson.bsky.social coded

A Citroen C15 style “van” version of the Maverick Hybrid would be the closest we’ve come to automotive perfection.

This “lockout” fashioned out of tape and a broomstick is peak Marketplace

The voice of caution and the voice of @ryantkelly.bsky.social violently arguing in my head over this one.

Another day, another search for an obscure part that hasn’t been made for like 20 years

Strava’s being a little more encouraging than Garmin

@lchupacabra.bsky.social @latimeriidae.bsky.social whole new levels of e-bike conversion sketchiness afoot

I assume all Lego models of Stellantis products include a guy with repair tools for realism.

Fascinating variety of cars in “Miniland” at Legoland. I believe that’s a Rover 216, an MGF, a Citroën C6, and an Audi TT.

Found $4 and some free CDs on today’s shakeout ride. That’s good luck for tomorrow’s race, right?

Happy to have the boy on a 26” wheel since now I have somewhere to use all the cool old parts from around the garage.
