WTH is up with the video feed decisions for this England v. Norway game? Lots of little "was that a foul?" moments and we're getting like zero replays. I get the focus on field and this game hasn't has any slow moments, but it feels like fewer replays of interesting moments than other games.

The thing is I just love these little cars. They tickle so many of my interests; car design, toy design, manufacturing, motorsports history, picking up a little treat for myself after completing the grocery shopping...

Again, having no recourse, on earth, when we’re harmed by ICE & CBP, the inhabitants of the United States find ourselves in a state of nature relative to those agencies

Our new public library is so awesome! It has a wonderful kids section including lots of things to play on, a coffee shop, maker space room, reading nooks, everything. It's a wonderful place to go and spend time, and it's easy biking distance from our house!

Cabo Verde!!!!!111!1! Game's not over but this is just the best.

See, I drive a low old Subaru for safety reasons. No tall hood or thick A-pillar blind spots here, no siree! (chubby tires, turbo whoosh, exhaust burble, 5-speed are also safety features, I swear..)

This map legit makes me miss Washington, I've been to all these places.

Nice morning for ocean roll bread pudding(!!) from the local bakery, plus I scored a whole box of USA-made files from a former neighbor's estate sale. RIP Don, will be thinking of you when I use these.

This transporter is lovely, just A+ all around. I traded a buddy for the 330P4 and it looks so good up there, I need to track down a premium version. #diecast

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

Cotroën C3 Pluriel. Not just a horrible name that's awkward to say, but also a horrible car that's awkward to use.

Happy Pride 🌈

Here is the Land Slugs and Snails of Oregon poster that I didn't know I needed until just now. Good quality printable PDF here, plus other posters about Bees, Beetles, Stink Bugs, etc. www.odaguides.us/posters.html

Nostalgic for when it was just like 2x4s and plywood that were "lol my child shall inherit this wealth" -level consumer goods.

Matchbox Porsche 930 "flachbau". Really a very lovely model, they did a great job with this one. #diecast

RAV4 blood. Oof. $25 part, but 11 hr. of labor by the book. At least it's a VERY slow leak and not urgent at the moment.

I like when manufacturers maintain a consistent design language, but it makes Cardle real tricky for me some days, especially from the view we got with today's game. Yesterday got it in one. Today I failed. Cardle 5/5 Total Score 260 🟢 🔴 🔴 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 www.playcardle.com

Mother's day paddle, we had a lovely day out with a nice picnic on the beach, some art, some practicing casting, and a quick very cold swim!

The future is unwritten and we should act like it.

Just what am I actually prepared to do myself? I don't want to go to prison. I don't want to do something that would jeoporadize my family. I don't want to do something that might deprive my child of a father. I don't want to bring violence to the table. But I'm getting pushed closer, every day.

8865 Test Car, one of the best xmas presents I ever received. I love this era of Lego Technic.

Cars&Coffee last weekend was pretty great. Perfect weather and a bunch of cars I hadn't seen before. Starting with this home built tadpole trike! 4cyl Honda, S2000 6-Speed, Subaru diff and axles. The shift pattern is backwards, the owner said it's like second nature now.

Sitting among the other parents in the bleachers, some dude is totally mansplaining how he uses this big chainsaw to cut firewood and how to keep it sharp and blah blah blah and the woman he's talking to just says "oh I'm familiar, I was a wildland firefighter all thru college" and I love it. A+

Some good news! www.opb.org/article/2026...

Have y'all ever witnessed the complexity of an in-dash 6-disc CD changer? I am amazed. So many little moving parts and pivots and hinges and slides and three motors each with separate gear trains. A single missing gear tooth threw everything out of sync. Glad a used OEM replacement was cheap.

Leftover pulled pork + leftover cornmeal pancakes. I'm told it's a thin line between genius and madness.

Grail acquired! Pre-owned but well cared for. Love these old boxes with insert tray. Love this classic era of Lego Technic.

I'm collecting examples of this kind of additional glass in the Kamm tail kind of construction. What else am I missing?

Re: Pie. The absolute best, ever, is of course my Nana's Cassata. Not only is it delicious, it has by far the best secondary snackings: biscotti dough(crust) and ricotta. We make it all from scratch, and there really is nothing like a spoonful of fresh ricotta with sugar on top.

‪Daily driven SHO, 5 speed, sitting on winter wheels+tires. Don't see too many around here! The owner was real nice. #weirdcarbs

C&C winter beater edition. This 77 Lancia was awesome, built to rally in 1978, competed all over the PNW. 2L twin cam engine, driving lights, cage, road book holder, etc. Wears its history proudly. Owner said the spooled diff made for an entertaining drive. (roads ice under 1/4" fresh) #weirdcarbs

Dawn patrol.

Hello friends, if you see this please stop and rest a while, your doomscrolling can wait a few minutes. Enjoy the clear, cold, still waters of Waldo Lake, while Roscoe attempts to sit still and not capsize us.

PBS is so good! It feels bad that I can't imagine something like it being created today, and I hope that I can do my part to make the world a better place, perhaps my kid will inherit a world where such things are common and possible again.

Damn right!

Huh haven't had too many trick-or-treaters yet let me just look outside..!!! STOP EATING THE PUMPKINS!!

Vehicle I would most like to drive home from yesterday's C&C.

Early anniversary ride, hazy from wildfire smoke, but otherwise a nice cool morning to be out on a ride (followed by brunch and coffee!)

Catching some rays.

One of the nice things about it here is that so far I'm taking people at their word and reading things with the assumption of goodwill. I presume folks are trying to be funny/helpful/insightful/kind until shown otherwise and it is such a nice way to frame things.

Was having trouble flipping a BLT-GC-oS (bacon, lettuce, tomato grilled cheese on sourdough) and long story short. I'm now the kind of guy who sharpens their plastic spatulas.

I built a treehouse! It's a lot of fun, and came out pretty much exactly how I wanted. I'm particularly happy with not using knee braces and keeping the entire structure 6' off the ground for totally clear walking and playing space underneath.

Throw! Rock! Now!!! (he just wants to chase a bit, never actually mouths the rock).

Man SS is awesome when you want a workout! It's also fun to ride familiar trails on a rigid steep geometry 26er vs a slack 140 full squish.
