Merry Christmas fedi friends, eat, drink, and be merry wherever you are! 🎄 🎅

A view of the SM92 on the ground. Kolobrzeg is now a flight club, but its cold war past is visible in the background; the hardened aircraft shelters used to be home to MiG-23s. Infamously, in 1989 a MiG-23 from kolobrzeg had a mishap and flew pilotless across europe, ending in a tragic crash.

Throwback to a summer holiday in Poland. This is Kolobrzeg airfield, and the parachute club were offering rides in their mule for 50 Euros, so of course I had to go in it. As I got in, the crew said to my girlfriend "For 100 Euros, he doesn't have to come back." #Aviation #photography

They're not worn, just sidewall damage due to the shit roads here.

As is always the way with cars, I took mine in for a scheduled oil change and discovered two tires need to be replaced, as it's torque vectoring AWD, that possibly means all 4 dependent on circumference spec. Cars, man. Might as well set fire to.a pile of money.

Enjoyed this video of the Mr Hewes gang getting a Czech T-72 running. Those things really hustle, as was the soviet style.

I thought this was a promotional nik nak at the dealership (which it is) but it's also a USB charge station which is kind of fun.

Went to the mall to get a small Ethernet switch from the local Best Buy, and drove into an ongoing active shooter situation. Everything on lockdown so had to leave. #America #MerryChristmas

I am increasingly convinced that the much healthier atmosphere on the Fedi is because there's no algorithmic fuck-fuck games like trends or 'popular', which is usually a codified way of increasing engagement, or as it is more commonly known, arguing with people you don't know, about things you don't care about.

It's odd seeing all these headlines about federal advice to use encrypted messaging apps. They have been antsy about them for years, and now, because their back door into telcos got used to breach those telcos, which they were warned about for *years*...it's just such a clown show.

My son humiliating me at Axis and Allies. Again.

Stepped back up to the 60 minute interval sessions on the trainer. Want to shift some of this pandemic chonk and ride again in Spring. It feels good. Most of all when it's over... #cycling
