ii i was designing it id be thinking submissions might get initial scanning by an AI trained to detect offenses within a certain set of learned parameters. these would then be flagged for human verification and action. or, it will be outsourced to a massive warehouse full of cheap labour (perhaps asylum seekers who have been flown to rwanda ... ooo political....) to look at, filter and flag for follow up.

i cant remember, as i havnt worked on the door internals of a fabia first hand. only had my mk1 octy apart a few times, but i imagine theyre not that different. its the tension of the outer handle is pretty critical, gotta count the little thread grooves before and after

cable tension needs to be pretty much exactly the same as it was before, or it wont release the larch mechanism properly

as above, and get a can of ez start... dose it through the intake, might just give enough volatility to kick off a reaction... start with the easy fixes

health club is too far down the listing anyway... i started putting the circuit sessions into an excel file as its easier to read. last 2 mondays - and today i got out for my run since early November! a sub 30min 5k shake down nothing spectacular, but its broken the hardest challenge - convincing myself to get my arse out of the bed early, gear and just bloody go. next challenge break the habit of internet scrolling in bed instead of going to sleep..

well, this hasnt been updated for a while.... i kept running, as often as i could, up to November. then a horrible week or 2 of work very far away etc followed by a few weeks of manky weather and spuds being unwell, and holiday planning and prep and then catching up on the work outside of the project id been on meant ive not done a tap since the end of October. going circuit training at 10am today though! first sesh since 2019... ill either puke or die. maybe both!
