Doesn't look too big in the picture, does it? There's nothing to give much scale in the picture. We did collect it yesterday afternoon. It dragged the two blokes who were selling it across their garden to the trailer. Those wheels have 22" tyres on them. It's huge and moderately terrifying.

I'm collecting this with a mate who has bought it later today. The excitement is real. It's a two wheeled plough which apparently runs. It may even 'do it all day' @smithandsniff.bsky.social

I was reminded this morning of something IBM noted in 1978: "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision."

JUST A FACT: Donald Trump has been president for 2% of American history — yet has created over 25% of the American debt… Such a busy guy. Big Loser.

Hot on the heels of the suspected gout issue that blew up last Wednesday, it seems possibly a combination of factors from that and general stress levels threw me in to something called atrial fibrillation. This is where the top part of your heart kinda goes off and has its own party.

Y'all know what to do with this one...😎

The Epstein Files were supposed to be released 123 days ago.

The responses to this post from some lovely folk have been genuinely heartening. It seems I am among fellow sufferers who have found good routes forwards out of what is a nasty situation to be in. Thanks y'all. It genuinely means a lot

After several hours of napping in A&E last night, a chat with a young doctor, who possibly had fewer preconceptions has suggested the pain and swelling in my right foot might well be gout.

Ouch

nnnnnnnNNNNNNIMBIES! www.youtube.com/watch?v=smkR... Bloody love Auto Shenanigans videos. Jon is ace (although I think he's afraid of sea crossings)

Just saw the press photos of VW's revised ID3 'Neo' and - although I'm sure they're selectable - just look at those dashboard graphics! Now that's mining your heritage in a cool way

Iranian Embassy releases cartoon of Donald Trump. - The cartoon shows Trump stranded at the Strait of Hormuz. #Trump #cartoon #IranianEmbassy #ZeeEnglish

In trying to make sense of Trump, and the consequences of Trump, I think it is useful to focus on his personality traits. When you combine those traits with the power vested in the Presidency of the US, you get a recipe for disaster. And that's where we are. Thread. 🧵1/11

Iran hits back on social media.

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

I endorse this message - Dyson is a scumbag. Also, his products are shit.

Apparently the democracy isn’t as strong as we thought.

Ignoring the headline, it's almost like if you strip away youth support services, for more than a decade, increasing numbers of kids will make their own entertainment, which might not be very well guided.

PM of Poland

I completed a repair on a vehicle recently. It had been showing engine warning lights previously. I started it and it idled on the ramp, with no warning lights. The vehicle was, at this point, fixed. However, if I took it out it might trigger warning lights and it would not be repaired.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Oh, you think petrol prices have gone up? Have you been in to an autofactor recently and bought engine oil? I paid £48 for 5 litres of very ordinary 5W-30 yesterday. When I questioned it the response was 'it's all gold-plated now'. They were discussing another increase of 12% that will go on today

It's one of the main things we should be talking about. It leads to so many other problems.

Tonight I have done work for which I am not qualified. Anyone who knows me will know I am not a fan of 'trim' This is definitely trim. It has been recovered. There are issues around the sun visor apertures

Meanwhile, in the worst timeline possible, the current president of the United States of America has made comment on the passing of an ex federal employee.

This evening 50% of the injectors were extracted. Hurrah! Great tool for £65!

Hey @quietriotpod.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social is there any way of stopping me having to confirm payment every month? I subscribe to other creators, on other platforms and the payment just goes out every month? 🤷

Sun's out, so it's time for new designer sunglasses. The designer is DeWalt They're also safety glasses One pair were £5, the other were £8 Just as good as any other sunglasses

A thought seemingly not occurring to much of middle America...

He did the meme.

This week I have been finding out about falling injectors in Renault Trafic/Vauxhall Vivaro

Trump brings further massive shame on America, again supporting Russia in its illegal war on Ukraine. I don’t know how Americans live with themselves…particularly the 70 million + who voted for him THREE TIMES, not to mention those who did not bother to go out and vote to stop him.

Electricity in Danish households is currently free because their turbines are producing a surplus in the adequate national grid. This happens regularly.

Never live and have a business at the same location. Lenders cannot compute that. We have an 'agricultural' mortgage from a lender who was happy to lend on the basis of the land value in 2019. This application was supported by a business plan. We've executed the plan, they won't let us remortgage

The impact of this isn't going to be limited to the gas pump. bsky.app/profile/hora...

Worth watching the trailers for the top four, just to remember the level of utter nonsense this franchise has delivered over the years 😂

After prevaricating for over a year, I've bought a Topdon OBD scanner. I hate the market for these things - it's all slightly different and differently priced and who knows whether one Chinese made brand is better than another one. I just hope this will do what I need in the next couple of years

Anyone? Bueller?

I've googled to see what I can find and failed. I need a set of Google Pixel alternative sounds, because multiple people in our household have Pixels and it would be nice if each one has different sounds for notifications. Is this a thing?

They look like differently irradiated versions of the same guy

On a Zoom training session. The tutor has a multiple vocal ticks, including 'setra, setra', which can be nailed on to anything he says. There are others. I'm on mute, with camera off, whenever he goes 'setra, setra' I'm now going 'setra, setra' and wobbling my head. I need to be very careful here

The cat has learned the new robot vacuum will steer around it, so it just lay here and made the robot navigate around it. Such a dick
