Nor any kind of centre stand to hold the bike up...

Fuck my life! Just did a quick shop on the bike. And the handle bar is crooked from the shed falling on the bike earlier this week. It looks like both the bars bent and the bar holding clamps... And the head socket feels kinda loose too. I don't have any of the tools to replace the socket bearing.

Yep after this week it's looking like that timeline is being sped up. I still think we will lose some concessions we had before. But the process will be pretty swift.... I hope.

I'm personally fucking livid tbh that it was obvious from the get go but every so called unbiased media outlet played along...

Spent 75 quid on this..... But I think I'm going to get a new set of caps and switches for it to improve it's issues. And might open up the unit and see if I can make the back light brighter on the LCD!

New keyboard showed up... Mixed feelings. The keys are nice and it's thonky... The display is dim. And the backlight is lackluster. The keycaps aren't letting light through to the lettering which I actually knew about. And the switches are bubblegum coloured and make quite light pink...

New keyboard.... Looks like it's named after a generic 80s action film where the plot revolves around comunists invading a small Midwestern town in America!

Holy crap just saw a dolmeo advert on prime and I swear it was AI generated. The same puppet designs. But everything was off...

Bill Krause is a master! I'm going to be 3d printing and scratch building an ent D next year... I only hope to get to his quality!

I guess this was before high speed film. Needing a special lens to give a deeper (sort of) focused range. Rather than using a smaller apeture.

Won't be possible to construct it in 2 hours!

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

You know you own a place when you have bits of painted shed in your kitchen! All the exterior surfaces have a coat of protection and stain on. They'll need a second coat but can do that after I construct the shed... That's going to have to be next weekend now. It's already late afternoon and it

I utterly hated Blair witch! Went to see it in cinema with the family and... It was a slog to watch. All the hype was shocking. We all hated the film.

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

This was also early JJ he actually knew how to shoot films back then...

100

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I found the whole found footage painfully annoying... Just as a concept. They should have just commited to it being shot traditionally. I think the film would have been better for it.

It's ok it doesn't end well...

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I actually need to watch that! I also feel the same. Slightly ambivalent to it. But I love Chiwetel Ejiofor... So kinda have to watch it.

Oh com badge eater is still in it then :/

Look... I love tigers. I really do. I would be so tempted to hug one... But I think I'll snap out of it before I do... Sadly some poor sod didn't...

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

And second coat with whatever I can find. So it at least matches.

001

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Well managed to get two thirds the exterior panels a coat of stain paint before rain came. Will do the rest tomorrow. I suspect construction will be next weekend now. Then I'll paint on a second coat. I used lidle parkside stain and there's not enough to two coat everything. So so single coat

As long as the hole hasnt gone past the brick into a cavity pushing mortar in should be fine. You won't just be poking it out the other end with the new plug... Expect some resistance. Might even need to pull out a little mortar for the plug to fit in... But excess should ideally squish around

010

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Then screw..... With the plugs set in mortar as you screw in it'll add a ton of clamping pressure... You'll be fine.

110

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

AHH those kinda... Ok I would say set new plugs into mortar is the safest option. Ideally mortar with some adhesive adative. Wet the holes first push mortar in. Put in plugs let it set the screw

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Very much this... There was some hope for bernham. Then for a few weeks we had the same old same old again... But in the last couple months he started to talk about things like renationalising water and transport again. So some of that hope came back. Now he needs to act on it. And yes a wealth tax!

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

The expanding foam filla up the cavities. And sets any loose material. This is good for shelves and pictures or mirrors. But not good for any strong forces pulling in line with the hole. If you need that yeah mix some mortar wet the hold push mortar in wait to set redrill.

110

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Wait to set a bit clean out the foam oozing out. Then screw in...

110

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

One option drill out or pull out old plug. Try and find some mortar mix or make some... Push some though the hole. Insert new plug wait to set before screwing. On loose sandy brick I also use gorilla expanding glue. Squirt some in the hole. Push plug in... If not loose screw... If loose

I actually don't think we're going to get 6000 series cards. I dont even think there's going to be any top tier gaming GPUs from Nvidia any more. At least not for another two or more years. Nvidia simply do not care about home pc markets any more. They have that AI datacentra crack now.

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Just need to be able to find the time to actually do it! Also several mounting tabs inside broke as well!

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Well looking more at the damage on the bike. Im going to have to do some body repair work. I cant find a replacement front upper fairing at all. Not even a Chinese clone not any an alt colour. Fuck my life! Will plastic weld the the crack, fibreglass the back of the hole and body filler and sculpt

Having now finished sleepy hollow. I've just discovered tom mison is precisely 1 month older than me to the day.... Sadly he's still disgustingly far better looking than me!

To say the least.... Broken mirror too

Mangy Dog @mangydog.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Incase not clear shed fell on bike, bike tipped over fell on wall. Smashed corner. Mirror some scratches! Ally fault for not moving the bike before unscrewing the side braces put on the pallet. I thought it was going to stay up and I could slip out the bits I wanted to paint :(

It's utterly revolting isn't it? And it's all hegsacks matcho testosterone juiced fantasy that's brought this fucking evil up. I honestly don't think there's any coming back now for that country. At least not in our generation.
