  • Fair enough - I suppose it’s a caution borne out of experience of the awful roads by me - I’ve had a lot of unsealable punctures on the roads near me (from gashes to a bit of glass that wiggled around just enough to not seal).

    As a result I always caveat advice to go tubeless - for “proper” punctures (anything more serious than a pin prick or snakebite) tubeless can be a can of worms, and give people a sense of confidence that inner tube users don’t have (wisely).

    Granted it’s also down to tyre choice (you can pry my patched panaracers from my cold dead hands) but a tyre pissing sealant and air is much more of a hassle to deal with than an inner tube in my experience.











  • On an ideal (working) morning if be up a couple of hours before I need to leave the house to bathe, make breakfast and something for lunch, clean the kitchen a little (which is my domain in the house), sit and watch TV or read for a bit, then leave with plenty of time to get to work.

    Sometimes I manage this.

    Otherwise it’s snooze the alarm a few times, get out of bed, shower, make some toast quickly, lob some food at the cats and leave a little later than ideal, and get to work just in time.

    Unfortunately my partner works from home and gets up later than me so my comfy bed has a chronic cuddler in it, and she’s normally surrounded by our cats too so my bed is a wonderful nest that’s difficult to crawl out from.










  • It looks like this is actually the most common “repairable” part on earbuds, which is a little peverse. Ifixit has a few models which have replaceable cells (usually they take hearing aid batteries). The case which in my limited technical ability would appear to be theoretically easier to fix, seems to be a sticking point.

    I guess that smooth lines and no screws is more important than keeping things going?

    My cheap set looks to be glued down, strangely.
