We should have gone full metric and adopted the Euro years ago. Then all this bollocks about pints and good old sterling would have been done with.
As usual with UK we do everything half arsed and settle for second best.
This is just incredible. How does a tiny creature like that store enough energy to make that flight. They can’t stop and feed.
Nature is awesome and very humbling at times.
I’ve seen a small woman driving a Hummer in Ware (Hertfordshire UK) of all places, can just about see out of the windows (that’s another thing that pisses me off, don’t people know you can raise the seat to let you see out of the windows?), can’t park in normal bays as it’s too big (and she can’t see) and it has a plate something like V8 HMR. FFS.

Exactly.
To quote Ramsay Bolton, ‘If you think this is going to end well, you haven’t been paying attention’.
If the driver wasn’t expecting it to stop, then they weren’t paying enough attention to the road in front of them
And that hot coffee will be all over the place. Tough.
Was going to ask the same question - cruise control is for open roads like motorways. Not around town. No wonder they had issues with it.
So they’re not looking for eddies in the space-time continuum then?
Of course they are. As the article.rightly point out, electric vans are too expensive, and charging infrastructure just isn’t there yet. Because the government wanted it all on the cheap and didn’t have a plan.
There will also be a small diehard faction that think it’s not ‘manly’. The sort of people you get (in the states they have guns as well) with their overcompensating enormous pickups.
I’ve just thought of another benefit of electric vehicles, no more drive offs with a tank of fuel at filling stations.
Over $4 million for a bloody car? And people wonder why the world is going to shit. It’s because there are fucking oxygen thieves that can afford things like this.
Nobody needs to have one of these.
Am liking Vivaldi, but along with WereCat, I have no use for it’s email section.
Am concerned that when Google does it’s thing, Vivaldi will break. Is there any danger of that happening?
Notoriously unreliable as well.
Lots of them in Hertford and Ware (where I live and work) and completely pointless.
N.B. Those of you outside the UK, look up Hertford or Ware UK on mapping system of your choice. Not exactly the Scottish Highlands is it?
An excellent choice.
Think I’ll do that as my next read as well.
