I liked the old measurement for wood as it was quite silly. You bought it based off the dimensions before it was planed. Now it’s all in mm and accurate and boring.

I'm always disappointed in the sizes here after coming back here from Germany. The sizes are pretty irrelevant now though as we're paying for 3 pints and getting 1...

It isn’t that simple, they had a pretty short lifespan, like 14 years and that’s including a major refurbishment. Covid happened and they never bothered with much of the fleet, and being horrifically unreliable hybrid tech with knackered batteries it wasn’t even economically viable to repair them ...

Yep. TFL don’t give 2 shits about pollution but it’s a nice excuse to raise money. If they cared they would lead by example, only maybe 2 years that EV buses are being widely adopted now. The money they raise from the charges isn’t ring fenced for green projects, it just disappears into the ...

Isn’t US bhp also different but very very slightly.

Kilowatts make sense and I think it’s the most scientific and worldwide measurement but the numbers look small so it doesn’t sit right with me.

And all these schemes have resulted in a massive drop in air pollution which also results in less illness and better health. It’s not like an indiscriminate tax, it’s actually having a massive benefit for everyone who lives in London.

Helping the working class

Yeah not having a good day.

Nose heavy front of the car acted like a pendulum and I went sideways into the corner of the shed on one attempt. Luckily the rock sliders saved my car from any damage and I built that shed to withstand a car sliding into it.

Anyone who’s lived in city and in the countryside, e.g. @Mito Man do you think winter is more pleasurable and rewarding in the city or in the countryside?


I enjoy both, right now I love the Christmas lights in London and there’s plenty of covered shopping and social places so if there’s a week ...

Remember the old stories of people buying old Bugattis for scrap value and racing them round grass tracks. I’ve held off buying anything and am ready to pick up the hyper car trinity for £5000. Cash.

It’s fcking cold today.

If everyone could predict risk there would be no accidents. So people must be really shit at predicting risk

Not really loyal or a fan of any brand. Whatever is really good I'll go for.

It downloaded ….eventually. It’s on 6.14, seems like VirtualBox doesn’t even support it, no headers or something. The fvck do I know :lol:
Found all my other stuff can use web based apps and works just fine. I’ll leave Fusion360 for the desktop and perhaps try Onshape but there may be another way ...

So current WiFi speed is 500mbps and I’m downloading Windows from Microsoft at a whopping 1.2mb per second and it keeps stopping completely. Been at it for over an hour now Reading online this is a common issue…

Ah cool, yeah I’ve heard good things about Virtualbox. Will give it a go tonight.

Race car drivers not yet at risk of being replaced by AI


iirc it’s an improvement on last year still…

Yes from what I see almost everything is compatible and it will only get better with the new Steam machine running the same software. Only thing is I think I’ll have to keep my desktop PC windows - from what I’m reading Linux doesn’t play well with force feedback wheels. Also I’m pretty comfortable ...

Microsoft is fucking awful, gets worse every year. I would say the way it tries to sign you up to copilot and 365 is proper malware levels of annoying now.


Had enough, installed Mint on my ancient laptop to see if I can live with it. I’m really not all that into tech and computers but looking ...

Bought this but haven't had a go yet. I love rally games but get bored fast on a wheel. Once you get sweaty from all the sawing it just gets unpleasant
