1/26 In August 1942, an island was weeks from surrender, and everything depended on one tanker. She was torpedoed, bombed, had two aircraft crash onto her, broke her back, was abandoned twice, and arrived with her decks awash, lashed between two destroyers. The SS Ohio. A🧵 #maritimehistory

@theguardian.com Typo in this article: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s... "and the EU has something Canada urgently wants: new markets for products it can no longer sell into the EU in the face of a trade war with Donald Trump." The second 'EU' is supposed to read 'US'.

My point is: you will get better results if you learn Linux rather than installing some Microsoft shite on it because that's what you're used to doing on Windows.

(taps mic) The auditing subsystem of the Linux kernel tracks process creation and much more. You can make it log those things by creating an auditd rule to do so. Or better yet, install Auditbeat (open source by Elastic) that hooks into the kernel and ships this data off-box as things happen.

My partner needs to be in London for work (1) so we got it in our heads that we can just cycle there. Because we can. Over two days, with a nap in the middle (on a boat). Should be fun, although I'm a bit concerned about the (lack of) cycling infrastructure in brexitland. 1) congress.escrs.org

I think your English perspective might be leading you. To me, that seems to clearly end with CHT which is a common suffix in Dutch. My money would be on EENDRACHT (unity) which might have been a store brand / wholesaler brand in Holland. I was unable to find a picture or a good source though 🤷

If people are tired of pro bike races like the Tour de France being decided even before it starts, maybe try following women's pro bike races, where the Tour de France Femmes has had a different winner each year since its launch. The race starts tomorrow! www.letourfemmes.fr/en/
A black-and-text image set against a plain white background containing two tables listing Tour de France winners. The top section, titled **Tour de France Femmes**, lists four winners with columns for **Year**, **Winner**, **Country**, and **Team**: 2025 winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (France, Visma–Lease a Bike), 2024 winner Kasia Niewiadoma (Poland, Canyon–SRAM Racing), 2023 winner Demi Vollering (Netherlands, Team SD Worx), and 2022 winner Annemiek van Vleuten (Netherlands, Movistar Team). Below it, the section titled **Tour de France** lists seven men's classification winners with identical column headers: 2026 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), 2025 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), 2024 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), 2023 winner Jonas Vingegaard (Denmark, Jumbo–Visma), 2022 winner Jonas Vingegaard (Denmark, Jumbo–Visma), 2021 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), and 2020 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates).

In one corner: the Dutch. World famous for squeezing everything out of the land they have, and large infrastructure works. Other corner: Ireland. World famous for being good craic and having terrible infrastructure. Not even a train to the national airport. There's more to learn here than solar.

A still from an old documentary about Adrianus (Adri) van der Poel shows his young son at the breakfast table. 

The interviewer asked whether the boy also wanted to become a cyclist. The answer was: Yes! 

The boy in question is of course the one and only Mathieu van der Poel.

Dat klopt in het algemeen, in het bijzonder op het Europese vasteland. Maar in Leuven is de situatie anders. Er is geen verband tussen beide entiteiten. Dat is geen kwestie van opinie, maar van rechtspraak: arch93.arch.be/BIB_D4P19/BI... Blijft een goeie, bijna 200 jaar oude, universiteit.

KULeuven was founded in 1834 in Mechelen. It moved to Leuven soon after, & has done a remarkably good job at convincing people that it is the same thing as the "Studium Generale Lovaniense" which was founded in the city in 1425 by the state, not the church. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katholi...

voor Mediamarkt om daar binnen te wandelen. Misschien was er daar iemand betrapt op stelen, of maakte iemand zodanige ophef dat men de politie heeft gebeld. Maar ik kan me moeilijk voorstellen dat zich daar zo'n dringend noodgeval afspeelt dat het nodig is om je zo dom/ gevaarlijk te gedragen.

Toevallig was ik een kwartier geleden op de Keyserlei waar een politie combi met sirenes aan knal door het rood vlamt terwijl het groen is voor voetgangers en fietsers op wat wellicht één van de drukste kruispunten voor zwakke weggebruikers in Antwerpen is. Amper 50 meter verderop stoppen ze...

Remco is very popular. I am not disputing anything that's written here. The Flemish press that people turn to for cycling news is pretty much entirely captured by right wing ownership, and they are catering to the large casually racist group of Flemish people. But Remco remains very popular.
