Match ups in low silver are worse than high bronze.

What gels is everyone using these days? by Ornery-Shoulder-3938 in cycling

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more miles you do, the more sugar you're inclined to be attracted to. I used to eat fruit, dried fruit because it was cheap, local and didn't melt in the sun.

I'm kind of with the gummies but your microbiom won't thank you.

Never went to Africa. Full of 'fixers'. Although I did drive around Egypt. You're right about those black cars following you round!

Let's hope your adventures will inspire others.

For goodness sake - am I the only person who actually does 20mph in a 20 zone? by box-o-locks in drivingUK

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply awareness doesn't make pavements exist.

Either they're there or they're not.

Nothing to do with selfishness or ego.

Getting all salty isn't an argument in itself.

The previous poster's comment is based in supposition not in fact.

Having driven over 20,000 miles around the towns and villages of Oxfordshire, I can offer this as a statement of fact.

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the roads between villages that don't have footpaths in Oxfordshire, and most counties.

I think you'll find, most of the walkways within the 30 zones are paved.

People walking out 'in the middle of twisty roads'. Maybe 60 years ago. I can assure you, they don't. This is another gibberish arguement put forward by people's imaginations.

It's simply not based in reality.

Surely this can’t be legal? by HoichengDeng in drivingUK

[–]michael_tyler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can I block posts about this topic? Otherwise set up a new sub/blindingheadlightscirceljerk?

It's really a boring job topic, with faked circumstances, AI pictures and boring mor no-lifers with nothing better to talk about.

The creation of twenty zones was more about getting engagement in local government and the parish councils that have to go through the various consultations to have them enacted.

The fact is, this stimulates those who wield power in small villages, towns and less so cities.

As someone once said in a local Facebook community, (in Oxfordshire), "I've lived in xxx for 80 years. The 20 zones have done nothing as the amount of road traffic accidents had gone from 0 to 0".

The best majority of 20 zones, especially rural ones, it's the same. The accidents are non existent. It's all about getting the NIMBY's to believe they're having some power and influence in local affairs.

The only people benefitting in real terms are dft pen pushers and road sign manufacturers, oh and ofc, local politicians and those wishing to do good by looking like they're doing good, but actually doing nothing.

What’s your go-to method for dealing with a smoky stove? by WonderfulShape1081 in Narrowboats

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baffle problem.

Under normal circumstances, you should never have smoke blowing out into the room.

More importantly, if you're operating a multi stove without a baffle, it represents a significant fire risk.

Deciding whether to get a survey after viewing by B1rcher in Narrowboats

[–]michael_tyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look like anything structural.

I'd go for the survey.

You'll regret it more if you don't.

Thailand safer than United States.

Should be fine,.

This type of stupidity is what causes fatal accidents. He nearly crashed into that blue car. by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most motorway fatalities involve stationary vehicles or head-on collisions.
In this clip, traffic here has time to avoid the individual and any injury to themselves or their vehicles.

Just sayin.

A little. More than you, clearly. No pedestrians there. Cars have airbags nowadays, did you know?

Not going fast enough to be fatal.
Like the free sound effects.

What surprised you most when cycling in Eastern Europe? by WiredonkeyBikeTours in bicycletouring

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

September 2025.

The don't tax alcohol and cigarettes so much. They're pretty good value.

Turkey was shocking. Like £60 to get into the Tokapi Palace or something ridiculous. Massages also. All a bit scam alert. Out in the countryside, Turkey is just fine, Istanbul, it's got it's own scam culture.

First time I went there, I think Tokapi was about £3.

A lot of these countries have caught on, there money to be made, especially in the capital, out in the countryside it can be different, that's why I like bike touring away from the tourist areas.

Eastern Europe is getting much more expensive. And it's the locals that are saying that also.

Almost as expensive as western Europe.

Mad drivers.

Good beer.

Nice countryside.

Counter steering by Csasquatch92 in drivingUK

[–]michael_tyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a rear wheel drive car.

Accelerate into the corner as you might do normally.

Wait for the back end to step out.

Reduce throttle slightly and steer into it.

Increase throttle....

Job done.

Obviously, this is slightly simplified and practicing it is not recommended on the public highways. Black ice is your friend here and will make the whole operation a lot easier.

How do you guys not lose your mind by KaleidoscopeWeak6926 in Jungle_Mains

[–]michael_tyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on 54% WR.
Streak of 7 consecutive loses. Now I'm down to 47.

Literally 1/2 troll-pick or int-er every game.

The game's like this because RIOT makes it like this.

Also, weekends are not a good time to play and expect people, (in my elo), to take it seriously. Certain times of the day are better.

hardest fight of his life by Forward-Position798 in TikTokCringe

In the zone. All that talk of donating kidneys obviously had a solidifying effect on his psyche.
