  • This can't be true

  • No thank you

  • You'd think I would learn by now...

    Jump

  • Still a tune though. Return of the Swollen Goat was loud enough to raise eyebrows on this afternoon’s drive through town. I got myself pretty well this morning with Stitched Up by Barbarian Hermit. I’ve had the whole album on repeat for the last few weeks though, so that’s not too surprising

  • What the actual fuck. I’ve never seen a pianola in action, much less thought about the music for them until today. This afternoon, we picked up one for a little festival, along with two crates of piano rolls, and got it working again. Now this pops up on my feed. Serendipity indeed

  • They don't know

  • This is the correct answer

  • Must ecstatic at the moment, it’s absolutely torrential here

  • I'm ollllddd

  • Now that’s some nonsense, my mate’s kid still uses his, and he’s like 10

  • I'm ollllddd

    Jump

  • Yeah, that’s a low blow. Not a Walkman, not just a portable Cd player, a bloody mp3 cd with a remote on the headphones from 2002. Who are you calling old, eh? Kids these days have no respect

  • Because you could hardly walk, let alone run with one if you actually wanted to enjoy the music

  • Yeah, I can see the whole “bed not being the safe retreat from the horrors of the waking world” thing being traumatic, I reckon I’d probably just burn the whole lot and start again

  • No mention of the bastard Horse Fly that chewed me up while I was strimming yesterday. I reckon the only ones I like less than the Horse Fly are the flea and the tick, and the last only because they’re disease-ridden little nightmares. That said, I’ve never been bitten by a bedbug or stung by a scorpion, so they may well be bastards too

  • Vaguely, I think a lot of my outlook on life came from reading Terry Pratchett and Ian M Banks amongst others

  • TIL that the Indian subcontinent used to be the largest economy of any region in the world between the 1st and 18th centuries

  • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

    Jump

  • I have a chisel from 1910, and a vice from the 1890s, the barn doors I open to get at them are from the early 1800s, and the well that our water comes from is probably a hundred years older than that. Most of the doors in our house come from its first renovation, in about 1880.

  • Is it OK to leave device chargers plugged in all the time? An expert explains

    Jump

  • Yeah, that’s pretty much my attitude. Why am I worrying about a watt here and a watt there when muppets are constantly asking LLMs inane questions and getting them to make dodgy hentai.

  • I have a whole bunch plugged in constantly for various synth nonsense. Running off solar, I thought it would be worth seeing how much of a difference it makes turning everything off at night, and basically it wasn’t worth the effort. It’s like a percentage point on top of the things like my fridge that run constantly, and is way less than using my toaster once a week. That said, if you’re on mains, it’s probably a worthy consideration if a lot of people were to do it, but it’s also probably comparable to using ChatGPT once a day or something

  • Anyone know a youtuber that tears apart old racecars?

  • That’s an interesting build, thanks!

  • You may have found my specialist subject… I’m assuming you’ve seen Project Binky from Bad Obsession Motorsports, and through that possibly Fanatik Builds, but there are also a couple of scandiwegian YouTubers doing excellent work. First and foremost Peter Bjorck is quite phenomenal, his lambo-powered Volvo is on of my favourite builds, and his skill and humble manner is great to watch. Then there’s the Meteor Intercepter, that’s an interesting project.

    Back in the uk, Soup Classic Motoring is doing a nut and bolt resto of a classic lotus, Mike FPE has built a DTM-inspired Fiesta that’s pretty mental, and the lad from Council House Creations is only building little stuff, but what he manages to build with basic tools is still very well engineered and pretty interesting.

    The StanceWorks F40 build is jaw-dropping, and The Sendy Club is Robin Shute building what will probably be the next dominant car on Pikes Peak. That’s proper race-winning engineering, with the occasional bit of work from Superfast Matt thrown in.

  • Wesley Kagan is building a sort of v12 vintage f1 car. His posts are sporadic, and not always thematically-related, but he’s one of my favourites nonetheless. Like he made a working copy of the Konigsegg (sp?) free valve system. On his own. For fun.
