Dramatic pictures as car smashes through shop window
The crash caused ‘chaos’
I got my ass kicked by AI
I got my ass kicked by AI when I asked:
No, cartridge bearings are not designed to “mate for life.” While they can last a long time with proper care and maintenance, they are designed to be replaced when they wear out or become damaged. Cartridge bearings are single-piece units that are designed to be replaced as a whole, not repaired.
and
No, threaded headsets do not have a “soul” in the sense of a metaphysical entity or consciousness. The term “soul” is used in a metaphorical sense to describe the essence or character of something, but it’s not applicable to inanimate objects like bicycle components.
Spokes don’t experience fear, but in short, they do experience stress.
Finally, something of an AI fail – the answer is indeed no but that is because a Playtex bra won’t stretch that far. I guess AI wasn’t in the scouts.
No, you cannot get to heaven on a Playtex bra. The idea of getting to heaven on a bra is a humorous, nonsensical phrase, likely originating from a folk song or similar tradition. The song in question, “You Can’t Get to Heaven”, uses a series of ridiculous, impossible methods of reaching heaven to convey the idea that good deeds are required, not material possessions or silly items.Playtex, a bra and tampon brand, has no connection to heaven or the afterlife.The phrase is a form of comedic understatement, highlighting the absurdity of using a bra as a means of salvation.
One more query, and this time AI is just plain wrong:
No, a Reynolds 531 bicycle frame, made of a strong steel alloy, cannot talk to you. It is a piece of equipment, a material, not an entity capable of communication. Reynolds 531 is known for its durability and good riding feel.
It’s quite nice that AI didn’t want to play when it came to this one:
Ah, van life, explore the

The row had been going on since 2023.
Green councillor Joanna Wright said: ““This has been a textbook case of shifting goalposts. People were asking to be included from the start, and were repeatedly told it wasn’t possible. Now, nearly two years later, the council has finally confirmed it ispossible after all.”
what do you stand for, Green Party?

Agree re the sheer enormity
Agree re the sheer enormity of the monster that we have created in the form of mass motoring. A way of managing a potentially huge collisions investigation caseload might be to restrict it to fatal and Serious injury (hospital inpatient) / life changing cases.
And why has someone painted an awning on that wall?I hope you’re not saying that AI is a bit shit really – there’s some highly paid people at my work who seem to have the leadership’s ear saying it’s going to solve a lot of our problems and simply our tasks.
I look very warily at the GDL
I look very warily at the GDL idea for young drivers as it’s a knee jerk that calls attention away from the utter lack of a safety culture for private motoring. The sort that you have with rail, marine, air, the HSE and the respective industries.
If the paddleboarding adventure had included a minibus trip to get to the start-point and there was a fatal crash, the response and the outcome would have been unrecogniseably different.
Not sure it’s got to that
Not sure it’s got to that point with table reservations, although you used to hear that Rick Stein’s Padstow restaurant is booked solid for weeks in the summer. And you do hear of driving test slots being blocked booked and going at premium rates.

Two tragedies. Compare and contrast attitudes- from Wednesday’s BBC News
Paddleboard firm owner jailed over river deaths
Mrs Justice Stacey said in her sentencing remarks said that Mr O’Dwyer (Co-organiser who died) and Lloyd did not intend to harm any participants.
“But you chose to lead the group over a weir in conditions that could not have been more treacherous, placing all of them in extreme danger,” the judge added.”

Driving restrictions needed to ‘save young lives’
asked if she has any resentment towards the driver (who also died), Ms Lucas said: “Absolutely not, no.”
“The driver had not been drinking. The driver was young. He was inexperienced,” she added.
“We know that young people’s brains are not mature until they’re about 25.
“It wasn’t his fault. There was nothing to stop him driving. It’s just sadly – very sadly – one of those things.”

“Obviously, it’s a notorious spot where there have been lots of accidents over the years, and I think the council has put in a lot of work to try and reduce the number of accidents that have happened there,” said Cllr Wallace.
“I think many residents are aware of that junction, and I think most people take extra precautions there,” he said. “I think the concern is that people who are less familiar with the junction take less care.”

Little bit of a stretch, this
Little bit of a stretch, this one: for Da&TP purposes the point is about businesses relying on car driving patrons. Cars provide choice, and I’m all for choice, but it doesn’t always work out well if the problem here is the make several table bookings/ decide on the day thing FB commenter describes. I guess the people who regularly do this are “spontaneous”, “fun” “always on the go” “outgoing”?
Interesting discussion of the admin involved with taking deposits for bookings (vs the “chaos” of first come, first served).
Popular restaurant ‘categorically’ stops taking bookings after spate of no-shows
