Well, after a long discussion with my two best employees (Plushtodons) we have decided to no longer accept PayPal payments in our online shop.

This will cost us business, just the same as when we dropped Meta and Co.

We have to make a stand and sometimes this comes with a cost...

We stand with the ICC, EU, Denmark and Greenland!

This is all stupid, Danes are some of the nicest people!

Big 410 sprint car news out of the #PNW:

Rudeen Racing - a powerhouse #racing team on the West Coast - has announced they will graduate 16YO Levi Hillier from the 360 class up to run a 40-race schedule in their 410 (the Premier League) 26R car.

I watched this kid SMOKE everyone at Cottage Grove this summer, and chatted him up in the pits afterwards. Super mature, well-mannered, polite. Until you strap him in, and then he switches to BEAST MODE.

A winged sprint car driver to watch in 2026.

#introduction time. I am #Italian, living in Berlin, I’m a Cloud PO for a German consulting firm. I like to play #guitar in my spare time, and watch #racing (F1, WEC).
At home I currently use GhostBSD on my personal thinkpad, Linux Mint on the family/living room mini-pc, and stock SteamOS on my Steam Deck. First Linux distro: Mandrake 7.1; first BSD: FreeBSD 4.7. Played with pretty much every OS I could find, from Slackware to Plan9.

I speak #Italian, #English, some #German and basic #Hebrew.

I want to ventilate on how important PPE is since it's the last stop between you and disaster

First these screencaps

As you can see wikipedia clearly states the importance of PPE on motorcycles.
Had my little cousin taken PPE into account he would have survived the crash, given the fact that he had undergone Judo where you learn how to properly break a fall ( he had not)

I'm a PPE freak and use it for everything;
When I cook I use EN388 cutlevel 5 gloves, I use ANSI Z87.1 glasses when I operate machinery like my grinders and drills, along with proper body PPE and earmufs with an NRR of -24dB. Same when I do heavy drilling / demolition / jack hammering, where you need to protect your scrotum and intestines against violent shaking of the machines.

In trucks I have full truck PPE all the way down to my underware, esp designed for driving heavy trucks with heavy loads

If I still screwup I only need to swap out that part of my PPE set with a new one, deduct what went wrong and why, and make sure I dont repeat the mistake

This insightful article forwarded to me by @somedude gives keen insight into the subject where pacing is key

The screencap displays a webpage with a black background and white text. At the top, the title "The 'PACE'" is prominently displayed in red. Below, the text is a reprint of Nick Lenatsch's Pace Philosophy from the June 1993 Sport Rider magazine. The article discusses the importance of pacing oneself on the street rather than racing, using a tragic example of a rider who died due to excessive speed and lack of skill. It contrasts this with the racetrack, where riders can learn from mistakes and recover. The article emphasizes that the street is not a racetrack and that pacing oneself is far more enjoyable and safer than street racing. The text concludes by stating that learning to stop and turn is crucial for rider safety. The webpage's URL is "musiccity-doc.org," and the page is viewed on a mobile device, as indicated by the status bar showing the time, battery level, and other icons.
