I apologize for FAT 32 SHAMER. YOSPOS purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.

For content, how is the new Ford Bronco looking? I haven't been able to keep up with any news since I've been so busy, but I was legit excited to hear about it since I loved the style of the original.

Other than "yeah, we're building one" I don't think there's been poo poo said about it. Probably Everest-based, but that's all that's really 'known'.

Alright, question for the electrical nerds. All the wiring in the Nova is going to be getting redone (eventually) and while I've been gathering ideas, I'm still fuzzy on some parts.

I'm going to move the battery to the trunk so that will mean running a cable from there back up to the starter. I may do a little power distribution center/relay block under the hood to send power out to fans, lights, etc.

Question is how do I get power to the distro block. Feed it off the starter post the battery is feeding? Split it before the starter with a terminal post (still not super sure what those are for)? Something else?

Just looking for some ideas.

On a more general sport chat, I always find it odd when things that are judged are called sports, rather than competitions. To me, if the victory conditions aren't an objective, measured metric, it doesn't... count. You lifted more. You did it faster. You did it in fewer shots. You knocked them down and they didn't get back up. And so on. If it's down to someone's judgement of how well you did, how do you know the winner is the best at the sport?

It's like I regard powerlifting as a sport, but bodybuilding isn't, even though the activities done to make you better at it are very similar. Mountain bike races (DH/XC) or trials, yes. Dirt jumping, no.

But I don't seem to mind when something that would be a sport is done noncompetitively is called a sport, even though my mindset is it's just what you do because you like it.

I also don't get how people think that not calling something a sport is somehow a lese majeste problem.

Thank you for putting this thought into words so I don't have to. I've always felt the same way.

The European Court of Justice has, after months of deliberation, just ruled that Bridge is not a sport:


Seems like a good use of all those legal minds.

Wait, Bridge like the card game? I don't really see card games as sports. Sports usually involve some sort of physical exertion. Yeah, you're moving your arms a bit playing Bridge, but I don't think that's much of an argument.

Oh hey so some fun yesterday evening, background: our little street is 3 houses at the end of an adopted street, some other houses back on to it and have been using it to park behind their houses for years. When our houses were being built it was made clear by the council that it was the legal right of access to the new houses, use it fine but don't block it. Fine, the only 4 houses that use it have parking that doesn't block the road. One neighbour has repeatedly been a bit of a twat, blocking or partly blocking it and needing to be told to shift. After my wife wrote a formal complaint to his letting agency/landlord he started to behave for a bit.

Lat night, I hear beeping and go out, guy across from me is a paramedic and has just jumped into his car to respond to a call, twat neighbour has had one of his mates park in the road, 100% blocking it. He reluctantly shifts it out of the way while good neighbour has blue lights flashing, horn beeping and revving the engine. He then proceeds to put the car back in the same spot so I went to have a word.

Driver wasn't aware it was a legal right of access, he didn't think we had any need to use it, despite there being no other way to get a car in or out. He didn't think the blue lights were real and I was rude and he was going to call the police. I encouraged this. He stopped.

Worth mentioning that twat neighbour was watching all this with a poo poo-eating grin from his garden?

So I mention the offence of obstructing a highway, that the road being adopted gives it the status of highway, that the fine if a complaint is made and upheld is £1k. Also good neighbour is a real paramedic and you just delayed him going to a call. That someone just like him saved my dad's life just a few months ago.

He says twat neighbour told him it was okay to park there.

Fine is paid by the registered keeper of the car in question buddy. I've already taken photographs, driver then jumps the fence and starts to thump the poo poo out off twat neighbour before apologising profusely to me and driving off.

Everybody likes a happy ending.

There's a sandwich joint up here that puts poutine on one of their offerings. I believe it's the "Strange Brew".
