Chatting about my true story of becoming an Outback truck driver on @theleadpedal podcast a few weeks back. theleadpedalpodcast.com/lp714-the-road… #TrueStory #trucking #Travel #Australia #TruckDriver #TruckerLife

I will say one thing for Canada and the @Bell company in particular: The country still provides working payphones!!! That's praiseworthy for more than aesthetic and nostalgic reasons, as I explain here: offlinerights.substack.com/p/offline-righ… #Offline #analog

@matoxley From some angles, I can't help thinking of the shots of Interlagos in early 1990. That track was also a bit of a last-minute job as F1's Brazilian GP moved there from Rio. Obviously this one has less city around whole track, but there are parallels!

The Goiania #MotoGP circuit layout is similar to what it was last time we went in 1989, with improved runoff etc. That's Turn One in the foreground, with the start/finish on the right. This drone video of the circuit was published 7 days ago youtube.com/watch?v=aRDzlF…

Thanks to its branch policy, @AskNationwide has made the Offline Rights campaign's list of businesses to support: offlinerights.substack.com/p/the-good-guys. Also mentioned in the latest newsletter offlinerights.substack.com/p/resistance-u…

I enjoyed the offline vibes on the @MaritimeBus1 during my recent travels in Canada! offlinerights.substack.com/p/offline-righ…

Auto-extension turned off: I'm leaving @GoDaddy for @Porkbun. Why? Because GoDaddy REQUIRES 2FA and Porkbun does not. Businesses that expect me to own a smartphone in order to log in and give them my money do not get my custom. More at offlinerights.org

Clothing, food and water are the only necessities. We cannot allow smartphones to masquerade on the list. richardasher.com/analogue #OfflineRights #RightToAnalogue #SaveCash

@matoxley What's the book's actual name and author?

Time to check the bible…

Hello @CORSAIR I want to buy new ear pads for my headset. But is it Virtuoso SE, XT or what? How would I know when it is not written on the product and no distinguishing features are mentioned on the spare parts listing? And when you only provide a useless bot for 'support'?

Won't be posting here any more. Not that I post anywhere very much! But my legions of followers can now find me on BSky @richardasher.bsky.social. Did I do that right?

@shamsi90 And it's really nice to hear a professional international bowler ask the question in public. Sure it gets asked in changerooms a lot more often...?

I'm sure this is loads of fun for the batters.... But is this kind of cricket fun for people to watch when there is no fair contest between the bat and ball? Genuinely curious

@shamsi90 For me, it's no fun to watch sixes flying all the time. I think only pea-brained people wouldn't get bored by it. Sixes were supposed to be special, but that's long gone. Don't know why there isn't a discussion about 'reducing distance' like there is in golf.

@RassieRugby Also, I would love to know if you know Brendon or if you guys talk at all?

@RassieRugby Got time for a quick question for an article I'm writing about the revolutionary coaching approach taken by yourself and Brendon McCullum? Namely: Have you taken any ideas or inspiration from McCullum's work with the England Test cricket team?

What does everyone else think about music at rugby? Is anybody interested in change? richardasher.substack.com/p/no-thank-you… @SARugbymag @SSRugby @Springboks @RassieRugby #RSAvNZL

@guerillacricket huge thanks for picking up the ball where @bbctms seems to have fumbled & dropped the ball! How do us ordinary folks get our #testmatch fix without selling a pound of flesh? The answer is you sturdy souls. #INDvENG

I'm pretty sure Australia bowled over 100 overs that day when Faf du Plessis batted out the Adelaide Test in 2012. Made the rearguard even more special. @Cricket_TS @NeilManthorp

@visseranton @JacquesMaree73 @dbbovey @biobot Thanks!

@JacquesMaree73 this was such an amazing and nostalgic read... @mygreenjacket went into the archives to look back at the Benson & Hedges Series from '81 to '96. richardasher.substack.com/p/a-brief-hist… cc @dbbovey @biobot

Clive Rice. Although I'm not sure they were professional back then.
