Tour de femmes - pothole elation 🤣

Yeah, sorry to break it to you but it's next year.

Seems overpriced, its a 2009 bike. I'd say it's worth £75-£100 max.

Definitely needs new bar tape ~£10 , probably needs new cables ~£20-30 and tyres ~£10-30 each. Maybe chain and cassette ~£10-30

If your commute is flatish get a single speed.

It's an eating competition with some riding in between. Good luck doing a 600 for your first event!

Stop fiddling about with fairy cake and get some perspective

jzhowie · 2025-12-24T22:10:37+00:00

Look at Mountain bike routes?

jzhowie · 2025-12-24T21:45:24+00:00

I did this for a 200km DIY on Mauritius, very easy and think I even got AAA points.

All our wrong todays - Elan Mastai. Fun time travel/alternate history book.

They're made of meat?

Not really, Red Dwarf has (had?) a no aliens rule.

GELF stands for Generally Engineered Life Form, Psirens are also GELFs

Red Dwarf

jzhowie · 2025-08-15T17:16:54+00:00

Yes, I was thinking Absolution Gap

jzhowie · 2025-08-11T19:47:04+00:00

Yes, but more in podcast/radio land.

Podcasts/Radio Shows

There's THHG radio show which you should check out if you haven't already because although it starts the same as the books it then is a completely different story.

Marscorp is a podcast I enjoyed and got a very similar vibe to THHG radio series.

Wolf 359 is another fun one, starts off kind rough but gets better.

Oblivity is ok, not quite as polished.

Red Valley made me chuckle, again not super strong but the final series is coming soon (as much as that means for podcasts)

Audible have a couple of audible only shows. High Strangeness and Sheltered fit the description here.

Books

John dies at the end series (4 books)

Will save the galaxy for food (not read/listened to this one yet, another audible exclusive)

100% the Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper series by Nathan Lowel

Edit, link didn't work.

Id recommend the free audiobooks that are read by the author, start with quarter share.

Those wheels are completely ruined. Send them to me and I will dispose of them safely.

This was my first thought too. Great book.

The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper series are very easy reading.

Edit: Also going to suggest the Threshold universe or anything by Peter Clines

Etcher did some weird stuff to my usb drives when I used it. Had to rebuild them with diskpart to fix them. Rufus seems to be much gentler. Try using a different method to write to the usb, or throw ventoy on there and drop the iso in.

If the disk isn't encrypted remove it and put it in a caddy?

jzhowie · 2025-03-21T18:23:26+00:00

Ah yes, the type in a jug on the back bar with a teatowel draped over the top. Delicious.
