This came off the new project bike, the one with the chain I've been working on between other stuff today. It originally had a black plastic outer coating, but that was dry, hard, and disintegrating; I literally peeled it off with my hands. A good scrub later and here we are.

I kinda want to paint and I kinda want to do that tool grip stuff that I used on that pair of wire snips last year. I think the thickness of the goop would be good, and! it comes in spray can form now! Which would be very nice, since I wouldn't have to use it once and then throw the rest out.

I could do that pickup-truck-bed appliqué but those are all black and I'm trying to put colour back into bikes.

But if you know other approaches I'm interested.

curious wikipedia search bug(?) i've only seen on one specific query. searching for the text bed bath n table brings up "Did you mean: bed bath n table", linking to the exact search query you just made (complete with the "Did you mean" link). i suspect this is because the exact phrase "Bed Bath N Table" appears in an article's text, so it's a target for the spelling correction, but the inclusion of the single "n" also means it triggers the spelling correction. but i don't know any other phrases with this property, and variants like "bath n table" don't activate it.

Yes according to some people, but what apps do you use to not have the issue?

Because I’m mostly on the Fediverse on my mobile phone…

I'm not in the US, and we do paper based voting.

The problem for me is that I can clearly point to the process chain: there is the voting place where the votes are cast. Those are probably safe, enough people are watching those. But what happens then? Votes are counted and passed up a hierarchy. And that hierarchy is not transparent. I don't have proof that they do their job correctly and I'm not allowed to observe that step. 😐

Voting is still better than not voting though.

@catraxx I trade only in boosts, likes and comments.
