I always thought "where no-one has gone before" was a euphemistic reference to the lack of toilets in the show🤔

@Gargron

Ooh! Did I find a mastodon bug? 🎉
Am I mildly famous for a microsecond? 😂

Thanks for looking into and finding the issue!

@Gargron

Is this in any way related to me seeing Turkish system messages on mastodon.social lately??

@dgar

Please tell me that there were sperm whales nearby. 😂

My chain wax is melted tea-light candles, with a hefty squirt of graphite powder added.

I thought I'd try a zero-cost experiment before actually buying anything, and I absolutely LOVE the results!

I clean the chains with mineral turpentine then methylated spirits, and melt the wax in a saucepan sacrified to the cycling gods.

Edit: I also toss a magnet in the cleaning fluids - you'll be gobsmacked at how many metal bits come out of a new chain

That sticker would make a great tattoo.

@fesshole

Can't you just join them all together, and take them all out each time?
Like a human centipede, but bikes.

My favourite 'tool' is the hard-drive magnet I toss into the jars which I use to clean new chains - it's always satisfying and a bit shocking to see how much metal particles it collects, which won't be wearing out the chain.

Next favourite is the saucepan dedicated to melting my chain wax. 🤪

Followed closely by my chain wear checking tool, which keeps saying that my chain still isn't worn out.

My eyes glazed over at all the buttons on the "Choose your platform" - I don't even know what that means 😥

The navigation, way, way down at the bottom of the pages, is inconsistent - sometimes a button, sometimes just text, and the text within buttons is inconsistent.

I kept tapping the linked circles at the top of the screen when I wanted to go back to a previous step - that sort of behaviour is pretty standard in my online shopping experience, so it was sad that it didn't work.

When I searched for "reflective reindeer", I got pictures of reindeer holding their chin in their hoof, looking pensively upwards.
