I got to go on a short bike ride today
Unfortunately, I forgot my bag at the start of the ride, so I didn’t get to take any pictures during it, but here’s some photos from afterwards. They were grilling burgers and they tasted great.
The ride was about 5 miles and went around the neighborhood, including some brief off-road sections1. There was a second, longer, ride afterwards that I was thinking of doing, but I came mostly for the free tune-up they were offering, which I never ended up getting. The guy doing the tune-ups took a brief look at it before the ride started and said he’d finish it afterwards, but I asked about it after the ride, he said he’d have to put in a work order since they were only doing them for free before the first ride.
It wasn’t really a huge deal, but my bike is a $25 craigslist bike, so I can’t justify a paid tune-up that will undoubtedly cost significantly more than I paid for the bike. Really unfortunate.

Some links you might like 4
More links! These link roundups are something I really enjoy because I have a good collection of new articles I have stolen from other link roundups, and old articles I have stolen from other link roundups. Okay, only some of these links are stolen from other link roundups, some of them I've found myself. Anyways, I hope you enjoy them all! Please comment if you do because I really genuinely love reading these comments. It gives me real joy to know my comment system hasn't broken yet.
Heydon Pickering: The Body Element
Heydon’s doing this series where they write an article on every single html element, in alphabetical order. This one’s on the
<body>element, the one element that anyone who’s ever touched html knows about. This isn’t the most educational resource, but it is heaps of fun, and I think that’s something you can easily forget about when you’re diving into web development. It’s fun!P H Lee: The V*mpire
A short horror story set on early 2010s tumblr. It’s genuinely really good.

something that crossed my mind is, years after being off twitter, even my short posts can easily cross twitter's 140 (times 2) character limit. it's nice to let some thoughts expaaand. not get crunched into the expectation that every idea you have must fit within a character limit

oh huh, apparently there's a little blog posting month challenge for may. i think that's something i could reasonably achieve, given low enough standards, so i'll go for it. why not? my little theme for this month is "i have a lot of post ideas but no finished posts so i should write some of those". seems solid enough

“Knickknack” O’Brian
Shaper Resource: Connection
Install cost: 2 – Influence cost: 3
The first time each turn a run begins, you may trash 1 of your other installed cards. If you do, gain credits equal to its printed install cost and draw 1 card.
There are a hundred currencies in the undercity, and Knickknack takes them all. Creds and rupiah get you noodles. For his secret menu, he’ll take your burnt-out rigs, your sterilized virii. But to taste his smoked vatchicken stew, bring him what he values most: your story.
2 stars
With all the FFG cards going out, there was one in particular that I desperately wanted to see get a great reprint. We're saying goodbye to the goat, the OG, a piece of cardboard that my heart can't live without. Aesop’s Pawnshop is, in this girl's eyes, just the best. A real and true mf. Everything from mechanics and viability, to character, vibes and soul—this 1 credit Shaper staple is cut above everything. My absolute favorite card in the entire game.
On paper it lets you trash a…
