Dispatches from a happy Hullian

I was having bike seat issues lately, and took it in to get it looked at. The mechanic diagnosed it as needing more Newtons and cranked the relevant bolt hard with a longer Allen wrench than I possess. I hope that's it; if it doesn't do the trick he says it's a head-scratcher.

I did some keychain triage -- my keys had become an interconnected poly-ring affair and many people said they could hear me coming by my keys. I got it down to one generous ring; we'll see if I'm any stealthier.

I've put up a bunch of pictures and certificates, and got a portable AC to help mitigate the heatwave. Then The Ministry for the Future came in at the library. Started reading it and felt distinctly uncomfortable. Elizabeth has been putting books in boxes for me at the old place; I think she wants to claim it as much as I want to get settled here. I'm going to enlist my sister's help for a big push to get things (including all those books) where they need to be. On Canada Day, because we're both lifelong Québec residents.

Ask Culture and Guess Culture (Found via Captain Awkward)

I think I'm guess by nature, but I can see how ask would be a good one to have a feel for, at least to pull out of my back pocket when I need it.

I'm not sure which model fits more at work — big-organization people, civil servants in particular reading this: what do you think?
