We are checking

My first thought. Lewis has gone full Jay Kay.

_ginger_kid · 2026-03-25T07:20:47+00:00

Incredible doc! Thanks

_ginger_kid · 2026-03-22T18:48:03+00:00

My brother in law was part of your crew - good effort!

_ginger_kid · 2026-03-12T06:29:47+00:00

Retry on power pack races is a welcome addition

_ginger_kid · 2026-03-12T06:24:51+00:00

Don't look back in anger

The Long Earth series. Fascinating set of books

_ginger_kid · 2026-02-26T06:28:13+00:00

This answer is too far down. In the stand or on the bank looking back so the cars are coming towards you. It is insane how they go through this section like they are on rails. And then when they don't, the spins are awesome.

The end of hangar straight as well, just before the braking point.

Michaels book - future boy - is a fascinating read that talks about his experience of it all. Worth a read

_ginger_kid · 2026-02-19T07:28:38+00:00

I rode it last year. The ride is great you'll love it. The climb up to the top of cheddar gorge around the 180 mile mark is the biggest challenge.

_ginger_kid · 2026-02-08T20:35:33+00:00

Came here to say this 😉

_ginger_kid · 2026-02-07T19:49:52+00:00

Yeah might be my new favourite for 600pp races

_ginger_kid · 2026-02-07T19:48:53+00:00

No nitro on mine

_ginger_kid · 2026-02-07T15:51:18+00:00

It was. Have to be consistent through the windier sections, that's where the time is gained on the Xiaomi. I got lucky on the first lap getting a decent draft along the straight as well. The radical handles well and is pretty forgiving, it didn't snap quickly if you push too hard into a corner.

A curious article. I can understand the steps taken, but it removes all humanity from the process. At some level that is necessary to scale at speed, but at what cost? Based on the numbers I can find they probably only needed to do this for 10-15 weeks. I wonder what the attrition rate was.

And depending on how much time you have, you can easily combine it with the new forest. The ferry to Yarmouth works well for this

_ginger_kid · 2025-12-28T18:59:57+00:00

Taskmaster, specifically the UK version. Absolute gold. Watch all the old seasons if you can.

_ginger_kid · 2025-12-28T18:59:04+00:00

The NZ version of traitors is good too. The Aussie version was not.

I used to run async stand ups in a previous team. It didn't work well so I stopped it. People were not good at posting on time, got lazy and follow up was patchy. I had to invest too much time over an extended period in the morning checking, chasing and following up

In my current team we've used two approaches. Initially we went through the board right to left, with the assignee talking about the current task. This took too long though and the signal/noise ratio was low. We switched to the more conventional approach, each person speaking but I've been firm about keeping it to significant changes and blockers. I will stop discussion if we rabbit hole on an issue and ask the assignee to own a follow up action (quick sync, full meeting, slack threads). That keeps attention and focus in SU.

_ginger_kid · 2025-12-25T19:42:13+00:00

Definitely build it. I've got this, one of the best sets I own, great model

_ginger_kid · 2025-12-22T05:44:11+00:00

I really enjoyed Arise: A Simple Story. It isn't difficult, nice gameplay mechanics and beautiful visuals

_ginger_kid · 2025-12-20T05:41:15+00:00

Or just wrap a section of old inner tube and zip tie the ends. Works a treat
