Okay *clearly* this guy fucked up, but what’s up with the cyclist just continuing to drive behind a car that’s backing up?

Quick tip on the emergency stopping - don’t touch the clutch until you’ve almost come to a stop. I’ve been told that it’s better to stall the bike than pull the clutch in too early and risk losing traction at the rear wheel. In the UK motorcycle test, pulling the clutch in too early on an emergency stop can be a major…

Luton recently became ‘London Luton’ officially. Seriously, Luton is its own town, same for Southend being ‘London Southend’. I’m waiting for its logical conclusion, ‘London Scotland’ and ‘London Paris’...

I once visited west Virginia. A place where the nearest town...as in small UK sized town was an hour’s drive away. Stopped at the local gas station and got talking, the owners son was stationed at an army base in the UK.

We live cheek by jowl in a way that americans who haven’t visited europe don’t get. SRS even the booths and tables in resteraunts are smaller and closer together. No frontiers here me laddies. Just anthill climbing

We often talk about intersectionality as it relates to compounding disadvantages associated with race, gender, sexual identity, etc, but this is a good example of the flipside of that, compounding privilege and fragility. The sexism and racism here are just so intertwined. Bosgraaf has objectified his girlfriend to…

I like that reading. I think commenting further would count as authorial intrusion - the work is there for anyone to read in any way they choose - but that reading does make me smile. Thank you.

THIS IS ALL I’VE EVER WANTED!!!

I heard one time about a mechanic who accidentally got some brake fluid in his mouth, and realized he liked the taste. It started a little bit at a time, but a couple of weeks later, he was drinking four or five bottles a day, having developed a preference for DOT 3. His friends and coworkers held an intervention to…

I mostly stand on the shoulders of gianter nerds.

I think that crab’s actually a Coral Squat Lobster, maybe Gastroptychus?

I’m still holding out for some kind of story mode. Yeah, I’m that guy but I don’t find much fun in multiplayer for long.

Precisely. And I think Bombadil’s benevolence is just as limited as his power—localized to the immediate area. If Sauron won, there’d be a great giant hole in the map of his control where Bombadil was, and Sauron would just have to suck it up and deal with less than 100% control.

Could have sworn it said, “..most of the cast was black.”

I really want to see really Left-Wing Ollie. Especially after this election, it would make the show stand out.

The JLU and the DC: Showcase cartoon Green Arrows are definitive. He’s a hardcore leftie who was rich, lost his company, got money back and used it to fund charities, initiatives, and his archery superheroism. He has an awesome goatee and he’s a snarky loudmouth who is hardcore against killing. And he went by “Ollie”…

The absolute best-est case! Why don’t they make movies like this? We get shlocky pablum like Fast and Furious XI and Transformers VII, when instead we could be getting a version of A Christmas Carol with Xenomorphs and crazy headless androids. Life is not fair, and God is not on our side...

Everything I’ve seen of Logan so far looks incredibly interesting.

Ebenezer. Ebenezer the android.

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:
