AI6YR BenTest ride on some new tires and new waxed chain. 700x25's were the right choice. The Panaracer bargain tires ($10 each!) are great. Don't know how they do on puncture resistance or racing, but perfectly fine for my uses. #BikeTooter

@autolycos @ai6yr what kind of wax? long-chain (hydrocarbon) paraffin type wax or something synthetic?

“Russia, the world’s third biggest oil producer and a major oil and fuel exporter, is to import fuel by sea this month as it seeks to manage a shortage after extensive Ukrainian drone attacks on its refineries.”
Such a shortage as to require Russia to *import* oil.

I donate to Wikipedia. Nothing extravagant, just $25 every 6 months or so. So I was invited to take a survey.
15min in I started getting repetitive questions about how I would be most likely or least likely to support blah blah blah over and over. It eventually dawned on me that I was interacting with an AI agent, and it was starting to irritate with its repetitive most likely or least likely blah blah. At which point I stopped, closed the tab, and had the thought I never want my time to be wasted with an AI agent ever again.
If you are going to ask for my real time and responses, you had better not fob me off to some automated chat bot that tricks me into a never ending death spiral of repetitive BS questions.
I have 5 mins for your survey. Do not waste my time.

@jbz this 3min hydration break is to rehydrate our brains with sponsors logos. Players never needed it in the past, what’s changed?

Heather EvansI didn’t get home from my walk until after 1pm & I’ve done it again. My friend & I headed off in one direction, went off track exploring, talking & enjoying ourselves. By the time we got back to our cars we’d walked 8km & my knees let me know all about it 😁.
Still I haven’t done much else this afternoon except pick up a few feijoas. I’m glad my soup dinner is already made, just want to make some garlic bread & then it’s done. I’d better sleep well tonight, but I’m yawning already. #Exercise.
