At that time driverless cars will be available to anyone and so a second mover can start up without all the money that Uber has thrown into their project. I am sure the driverless car thing arose from the realisation that Uber has no chance of making money any other way. That does not make it a winning strategy, just…

I bought a set of Britannica, I think maybe from the last edition before they went to electronic only for public purchase.

I bought a couple of sets of these for my parents last year. They’re great.

Hear, Hear!

Long terms like this are more akin to renting than owning. Take out a long loan and at the end, most people, will get a new car. To be right, most finance is more like rental than ownership. If I owe the bank money for the purchase then I don’t own it until the finance is finished.

If there’s a fire on the plane then leave your bloody egress behind. (people and their pets!)

Not a voltage adapter but a plug adapter. Very handy thing when traveling. Been using a Fuji plug adapter myself for maybe decadevlittle, robust and with a USB socket as well.

I am not saying that I’d want one now, but as an 18 year old lad I was happy to have a Morris Marina for a while. I recall driving cars of that vintage in the US though, my god they were horrid. Comfy, but horrid. Going round a bend was like tacking in a sailing dinghy and one needed a trapeze to keep them level, like…

I have been buying remote control led rgb bulbs for my apartment. About $10 apiece with infrared remote. One remote works all the lights.

Hmmm, from the article it’d seem that the frying pan steering wheel was no more than incidental to serious issues to do with the safety of the vehicle and that the vehicle’s documentation had been altered, seemingly to conceal the fact of the vehicles lack of roadworthiness.

No, he’s writing for an audience whose knowledge of American culture comes from tabloids and sitcoms. His target audience understands the references, even if possibly they are a tad inaccurate. As an English man I understood what he was saying whilst understanding that it was not objectively true of all Americans.

I drive a UK 318i, e36 from 1995 across Europe several times a year. The thing laps up autobahn runs, obviously not at m3 speeds and I rarely top 120mph. Point is that a well maintained car is safe and reliable at high speed. And I am now in my second half century of life on this planet.

I have done some really daft stuff whilst under the influence of alcohol. Some folk use other stuff too.

Well, we have no way of knowing that. But I am sure the he certainly would have liked to think so. :)

Why so costly in the United States? In Estonia one pays, without contract, about $10 per month for 4GB data, 10 hours of calls and 600 sms. Does infrastructure really cost so much more over there?

Yeah, you spend the next day drunk and get past the hangover without noticing. That used to happen to me as a kid. I’d get hog whimpering drunk and then go to work the next day and then repeat the experience the next day. A full day of sleep on Sunday ensured I missed the pain.

I did much the same as you but a little younger than you. One day, while drunk, I behaved very badly. I understood that this was a declining path and chose to stop it at that point.

No you don’t, really, just NO!

My first car was an Allegro in that nasty sandy colour that was almost the standard colour in the late ‘70s. Horrid thing, the stereo I installed was worth more than the car. 8 speakers and a separate amp back in the days when, for many folks, two speakers was one too many.

Have you checked that you don’t have cataracts starting to form? What you describe is exactly what led me to get this checked out and, yes, I have cataracts in both eyes - junior starter ones to be sure, but I will be having surgery to deal with it shortly (when I am clear from the retinal venous occlusion that showed…
