You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

people attending meetings who have another meeting directly after but only mention it 2 minutes before they need to leave.

had i known two (key) people had a hard stop i would have encouraged wrapping up sooner to ensure actions had been agreed with the right people present

My timing belt is knackered.

To be fair if a meeting is going to overrun the allotted time I’m leaving at the finish time anyway unless there is a very good reason it’s overrun.

I try to schedule for 50 or 55 minutes not an hour. Everyone needs a loo/coffee/fresh air break.

I did have a client who liked starting at odd times (like 8 minutes past the hour) as they thought it made Zoom/Teams more reliable. But everyone just showed up at five to the hour anyway.

Wet belt or the non silly french idea type?

Yes??

So the 1.2 stellantis/peugeot/vauxhall/ford eco boost engines are designed that the timing belt goes through the oil resevoir, and common sense is pil degrades rubber and those engines are renowned to basically fall appart post timing belt change, word on the street is theres a timing chain conversion recall coming.

Other engines have it in the side of the engine, like the sensible lot that they are.

Pretty sure it’s normal and on the side then

Managed to splash hot oil up my arm whilst cooking dinner. Didn’t think it was too bad. But now, a couple of hours later, it stings loads and has gone a decent red in the areas that got splashed. Going to be a sore night sleeping I think!

No blistering though, so superficial only thankfully.

Spoiler alert!! I checked ACC before doing Wordle and that ruined Wordle for today :sob:

I deleted the post. @Giminion should know better than to screen shot a wordle rather than the share image.

Wish I’d seen it. I lost my streak today

The trick with those, if you find yourself with one consonant gap that loads could fill in, is use guess 5 to guess something using as many of those possible letters as possible.

So, with today, at guess 5, guessing something like BLIMP would have told you the missing letter.
