Re: Car insurance

Nice. If a second parking space in London didn’t cost me £3500 a year I’d have a Honda e purely for the city.

Re: Car insurance

I use the Nationwide one, it’s well worth the price. I think they’re all vaguely the same but the cover follows the bank account keeper, so I can sit in anyone’s car and if they have a breakdown that car will be recovered. Covers trailers too.
Typically cheaper than getting EU breakdown cover for a ...

Re: Decent car YouTubes

Modern cameras annd cars are just too good. The top formula car just looks like it’s on a Sunday drive and the EV not much better.

Re: Trump

They/Trump reacted exactly the same in the 2020 Iranian attack on the same bases. 100+ soldiers had brain injuries and never fully recovered. Truth only came out a few years later once the soldiers started speaking out.

Re: Elon Musk/Tesla

Well the main circle jerk group of companies is already publicly traded. Although typically at the end of a bull cycle you get a load of IPOs. The market is at all time highs and the companies all go in as they get valued the most. There is no more new money coming in so a bunch of stocks get sold ...

Re: Elon Musk/Tesla

The AI circle jerk is an actual thing. All the big tech companies are just about the only thing propping each other up right now. Everyone knows it will implode sooner or later. Hopefully sooner, so I can buy some computer bits at reasonable prices again 🙄

Re: The Weather Thread.

Also the fecking buses started to be fitted with AC 10+ years ago and it was really nice, the latest EV ones don’t seem to have AC or even heating in winter. Great future proofing there.

Re: The Weather Thread.

It’s only a struggle because we are idiots about it. If this is truly the beginning as they say then might as well admit defeat and go about fitting AC to public spaces, allowing grants to include heat pumps which have a cooling function etc.

They’ve got AC in outdoor spaces in the Middle East and ...

Yep, mousing over shows the temperature anywhere in the world. I had a good look around Antarctica to psychologically cool down.
The coolest bit is near live satellite image though and seeing the region of twilight rapidly moving.

Something to look forward to once one hits 50 :lol:

Re: The Weather Thread.

Yes it's unfortunate that we have primarily casement style windows which are the worst for this application. Amazon sell cheap sealing kits, fiddly to fit but more effective. Also there are 3 types of portable AC units. Single hose outlet (least efficient), double hose (so pulls air from outside and ...
