I did a bit of recreational #elisp today and added #cargo support to #hubi, my #transient build interface. I …

hubi: add cargo support for building rust · stsquad/hubi@9b73e8f
This is currently only tested on one cargo workspace but so far seems to be sane.

Using (cargo) bikes to get shit done. Had to pick up the car after getting new tires installed, so on the way home from work swapped cargo bike for car at the gas station, drove home, rode the 3-speed back to the garage, and towed it home behind the cargo bike.
The cost of the car repair was equal to the cost of the Big Dummy's frame (though not in inflation-adjusted dollars, the Big Dummy is 16 years old).

View from the rear of a black Raleigh ALL STEEL 3-speed with its front wheel lashed into the sling of a Big Dummy, both parked in front of the gas station.
Side view of the black Raleigh ALL STEEL 3-speed with its rear wheel lashed into the rear sling of the Big Dummy.
Close up of the wheel in the sling, showing how it is strapped into place. The built-in sling straps fasten through the spokes to hold the wheel tight, and a pair of red extensions straps (one extending the other) hold the bottom of the wheel tight to the inside of the sling, and a single red extension strap around the snap deck holds the front, top of the wheel tight to the snap deck. A crumpled blue Ikea bag between wheel axle and sling provides padding and protection.

That's a first for me. I own 3 cargo bikes; never broke a spoke before. Somehow my wife broke 5 on one of the #CargoBikes. She was apparently carrying a(n "overweight") coworker in it, so maybe that did it?
Though when I got the bike, it had a broken rear (enviolo) hub and multiple broke spokes. I probably reused the non-broken spokes (and I definitely reused the rim),…

Zoomed in on a black bike wheel. A spoke is hanging down, not attached to anything. Also an empty spoke nipple is visible.
Same wheel, this time the top of it (a black rear rack is visible over the wheel). Two empty spoke nipples are visible from the rim, no spokes attached there.
