"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die ..." - Steppenwolf

Hmmm ... this must be for the biker side of me that mostly sits in my garage. Steppenwolf is definitely a blast from the past. If you're too young to know about Steppenwolf, it's worth checking out.

#DIYDay the electrician actually turned up... 3hrs early. Which means he continues his streak of never turning up on time once... At least he got the right day though and didn't cancel like he has 5 other times. 😐

Meanwhile, to save money as my mum has officially run out once last trades have been paid (in fact she's overspent by around £1500-2000, which is why you have a contingency budget).

So I'm modifying some simple cabinets with legs and there's an oak top to be fitted.

in reply to Anomnomnomaly

I've got 4 cabinets to modify. 1 for a bedside table, and 3 will be used in an L shape to create a corner vanity unit. I've got 3m of oak kitchen counter top, that the joiner will cut up to create the window board and the tops for these. I've also asked if he'll cut up the off cuts to make some narrow shelves and a cutting board or two for the kitchen.

Engineered oak isn't that expensive, £210 for a 3 meter length of 22mm thick and 620mm wide counter.

All new furniture would have cost 3x that

in reply to Anomnomnomaly

Yoinks... unexpected expenses.

The CO2 alarm for the boiler which is located above the bedroom... is going to cost a lot more than I realised.

Building regs changed last year.

The sensor needs to be a combined heat & CO2 alarm, and needs to be linked to the rest of the system. So if it goes off, it will trigger the heat sensor in the kitchen which also triggers the smoke alarms in the hallway and upstairs.

It's about £200+ as we need to replace the kitchen one with a wireless one too.

Just finished this biography of George Beadle, written by Paul Berg and Maxine Singer. Rare to find a biography of an amazing scientist written by two other very accomplished scientists.

Lots of fascinating stories about early genetics research.

Dear #music fedi, I would love to hear your Internet radio stations / web streams recommendations. Need to expand my suite of work/background music sources.

I listen a lot to SomaFM and Proton Radio.

Looking for music mostly without vocals. Deep, groovy, and bassy.

Dub / deep house / deep techno / related genres work well for me, but I am open to anything.

No Spotify or YouTube or any other Big Tech service, please. Small, "underground" streams FTW!

Also, no mobile apps.

Do you know about Radio Garden radio.garden/search
It lets you tune into radio stations all over the world, interfaced through a global map. I've spent entire days sampling all over


Finally, a piece of reporting on Trump’s inability to stay on topic and incoherence, framed as the age/cognitive decline issues the seem to be. wapo.st/3zwddvv

WaPo needs to headline Trump/ Vance inherent racism in their campaign. Yes, Trump is clearly in cognitive decline. And both have weird and unhinged ways of avoiding truth and telling lies. Their lies about immigration are only about people of color and do not apply to recent Caucasian immigrants. Immigration is their cover to signal racist intent.
in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

But they still can't help excusing it, pointing out that he's "tired" from his demanding schedule, as opposed to being "insane" from his broken, anger-filled brain.

These stealthy survival tactics could teach us how to curb the widespread use of chemical pesticides in agriculture. But first, researchers must learn how seemingly helpless flora deploy this masterful strategy.
