@SeventhMagpie You might be amazed what motivated enthusiasts can achieve.

@SeventhMagpie they would have killed to get some soviet fighters but it was hard enough to get western types. Peace treaty is one obstacle. Warplanes are to be counted or scrapped. It's not easy to get them to museum status.

@SeventhMagpie In the 90s I volunteered at a museum and helped on the restoration of a Halifax mk 3. The only one in the world.

@SeventhMagpie In 2009 I got up close to lots of Cold War classics in Krakow. So many of them just sitting in the field behind the museum.

@SeventhMagpie Two classics! I can only get close to these on YouTube now :(

@SeventhMagpie Indeed it is. I'm sentimental about the '91 car because that's the year I really started following closely. I've got the F1TV subscription and spent a lot of hospital and recovery time watching the 80s archives.

@SeventhMagpie Which aeroplanes? I saw the MP4/6 at Goodwood Festival of Speed a decade ago. It was terrific.

@SeventhMagpie I'm jealous!

@fluff@tiny-pillowfort.floating-in.space By claiming if you only like stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Akira you're not a 'true' fan.

@fluff@tiny-pillowfort.floating-in.space I have the tremendous advantage of not understanding any of it

@fluff@tiny-pillowfort.floating-in.space It's typical of any fandom, dedicated fans essentially claiming mainstream enthusiasts are scrubs

They're fighting on birdsite about Anime gatekeeping. Twitter's trending algorithm finally hits bottom.

In which I turn to spinning/cycling to try and not be a fat bastard.

Is there something in the Fedi water, why are you all cooking nice things!

The simple addition of a cheap desktop fan blowing on me has stopped what feels like the entirety of my body fluids escaping from me and onto the floor during high intensity runs on the indoor bike. I also no longer have the terrific insatiable thirst afterwards. #cycling #spinittowinit

@dreadpirateyarr Well they *sound* fucking lush
