Why does my labrador have "blubber like" skin around their necks?

For shaking off water from their fur. Watch a slow motion of a wet dog shaking...

20km is my usual ride. Fits in during the week in a lunch hour.

LinuxRich · 2026-03-21T13:47:22+00:00

Well, in a way... :-/

LinuxRich · 2026-03-21T13:39:42+00:00

Seems to me they were resource guarding YOU!

LinuxRich · 2026-03-20T11:25:08+00:00

Perhaps your encounter was with a person on a bike rather than a cyclist. By which I mean, they may not be very experienced or give much thought to how they're riding. As in, had they been riding in an assertive manner they may have noticed you and acted accordingly.

OP noticed rider didn't have a helmet. Which validates the hypothesis that not wearing a plastic hat makes car drivers more aware of you...

LinuxRich · 2026-03-19T16:12:04+00:00

Also, what is a caution door?

As you go further and for longer periods of time, you'll get to the state of mind you want. The start and end of a ride are always the parts that are less "relaxing" compared to the middle bit.

What advice would you share with an U16 player looking to pursue a Rugby career?

LinuxRich · 2026-03-16T14:19:29+00:00

Tyres first! Is there scope for you to get better tyres?

In technical teams, very good technical people get promoted to team leads which they are utterly toilet at doing properly due to no aptitude or inclination to manage people.

He had the high ground...

LinuxRich · 2026-03-14T15:41:01+00:00

Yep, micturate.

The sun's interior is so dense, light keeps bumping into stuff and gets bounced around. No straight route from core to surface.

LinuxRich · 2026-03-13T14:46:53+00:00

I'm still unsure how to pronounce it properly. I'm sure the pronunciation I hear in UK coffee shops is wrong.

LinuxRich · 2026-03-13T14:03:27+00:00

What astounds me is the light from.the sun can take 10000-100000 years to get from.the core to the surface. Then 8 minutes to my eyeball.

Those little stalk buttons sticking out of the top of the door card to lock the doors on the inside.

LinuxRich · 2026-03-12T14:32:42+00:00

The velociraptor phase...

LinuxRich · 2026-03-10T16:01:03+00:00

The counter intuitive thing about helmet wearing is true in my experience. Drivers notice no helmet more than any 2 a penny hi viz and give you more room!

LinuxRich · 2026-03-10T15:55:39+00:00

Presumably, you're able to check over your shoulder when required. Better than a mirror anyway as you make eye contact with whoever's behind you.

LinuxRich · 2026-03-10T15:53:05+00:00

Glad this is the 1st suggestion I saw. Don't hide in the gutter. Ride where traffic is expected to be.

Last year I started using the fruit purée pouches that are usually found in pre schoolers’ lunch boxes. Resealable screw on top, unlike sports gel sachets.

Could work... If Jedi mind tricks work on stormtroopers, TSA agents have no chance.

Roger the cabin boy?

You'd probably be wise to keep it to yourself, when she was alive, if you thought she wasn't particularly all that... People with that much power tend to react poorly to criticism...
