That reminds me – I’ve only seen a couple of the Constantine episodes. Once I’ve finished Umbrella Academy, I’ll catch up on it.
I’d first check what the max pressure limit is on your carbon rims. It will vary depending on tyre width.Generally, tyres tend to have a higher max than the rims can take.
Is that true? I would have thought that rims would be stronger than that as otherwise people would be destroying rims by inflating to the tyre max pressure.

Clara Oswaldsorry – Johanna Constantine.
I really enjoyed the choice of actors – Death is very well done and of course David Thewlis is superb in everything he does. Lucifer was also a great casting choice. By the way, there’s an excellent bonus 11th episode featuring two mini stories.

Discovery was fun for the first few seasons though I got a bit bored towards the end. Worth watching for Doug Jones in my opinion.I liked the first season of Picard, but it takes itself too seriously and gets tedious.
Strange New Worlds is good, but I think I prefer The Orville as being a humourous Star Trek rip-off.
Anyhow, The Sandman is what people should be watching.

Unfortunately in conflicts, it’s always the poor that suffer the most.

“Sploot” is a most cromulent word – I’ll try using it in as many conversations as possible
That pool noodle looks lethal… A truck clipping that at speed is likely to result in the cyclist being pulled straight under the wheels.Possibly, but would it depend on how the noodle is attached to the bike? Maybe a couple of rubber bands would hold it in the right position, but allow it to move and/or be pulled off without too much interference with the cyclist.

My experience is that the best way to make a driver angry is to touch/hit their vehicle and I wouldn’t recommend it as there’s a lot of bottled-up rage out there.
Some people use pool noodles to enforce the recommended minimum distance:
Personally, I don’t like the aesthetics of that and it’d get in the way of my egregious filtering at times, so I just go for running cameras and let the police deal with the worst offenders. It’s much better if you don’t allow the bad drivers to live in your head rent-free.
However, on occasion, I have daydreamed about wreaking vengeance on drivers and I reckon a decent lock would be the best choice – heavy, damaging and completely plausible for a cyclist to be carrying. Also, don’t bother searching for Ninja Rocks on your own computer if you intend on using them.
It is funny how ‘the market’ (well, the high value end of it) always needs and gets taxpayer support when things go wrong…With utilities, there is at least some rationale behind that. If an electricity company goes into administration, what happens to the customers? It wouldn’t be great if suddenly x% of the country gets suddenly cut off despite them paying the bills.
This is part of the problem with having essential infrastructure in the hands of private companies that only really care about profit and not their customers. What we need is public ownership of the fuel companies (and other utilities) and then the tax-payer can push full-steam ahead with converting to wind/solar power and reap the benefits in the future.
However, that’s long-term thinking which our political system does not select for.

I thought for a minute that this was about another parking dispute that I read: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/real-life/west-country-man-vows-never-7444586
Very similar in that Michael Davies has vowed to never return to Cornwall. A few more of these and Cornwall will be an empty wasteland.
