I think Fancy David would probably be a little worse but I don’t know how many broken jeeps go over 500 grand.

Bitch, please

Ah ok, In my senior School (12-16 Y/O) we were allowed phones but weren’t allowed to use them in Class unless asked to by a teacher but by year 10 (14-15) the rule was rarely enforced especially if all you were doing was listening to music through earphones. However that may have just been my school or the UK school…

That’s fair, you’re system certainly seems better than the app in the article and to be honest if you’ve told them how to disable it you aren’t going to risk using it for menial messages during school hours or similar which really would be my problem with anything that attempts to bypass silent/vibrate mode.

It may well be depending on the age of the child. The icons on an Amazon tablet seem to be larger than those on typical Android. You could also use google image search. Amazons custom OS that the tablets run on is a version of Android known as Fire OS.

Fairly sure it isn’t just for the royals. Us commoners tend to get blurred plates as well.

It depends how you define kids. If it’s over 15 or so it probably gets to count as a terrible idea. If you’re that old you probably have a reason for your phone being on silent, like you’re in class and don’t want it ringing in the middle of a lesson.

Almost certainly yes. To keep it on the OP would have to put tasker into the system folder and then disable root permanently. Either way they can probably just disable the app.

You know that electric cars now are different to those though. In the late 19th and early 20th century cars weren’t exactly fast regardless of how it was powered. By the 60s ICE cars and the infrastructure required for them were commonplace in Western countries. The 80s and 90s were basically all limited production…

No, not at all. The model 3 is meant to be Teslas entry into the affordable luxury car market but the company aren’t attempting to make cars that rival a Nissan Leaf.

It says a lot that when the Jalopnik Staff go to Europe, Fancy Kristen goes to Italy driving a Ferrari and David goes to Romania and looks at Old Dacias and ex soviet cars.

Yeah, it definitely is worth explaining, I didn’t know it was different until another commenter pointed that out. It just would seem strange to a Briton to hear people brag about 30mpg on one of their cars when even our people carriers get above 30 on city driving.

I used the US gallon in my conversion, hence why I specified US gallon over just Gallon or Imperial Gallon. I also mentioned the UK does have very high taxes on petrol. We also have those high taxes on diesel although that isn’t really relevant to Petrol prices.

I’m sure it is, but I’ve only read the article and aren’t aware of anywhere near as much controversy over Finland or Thailand, politically at least.

Taiwan seems a fairly complex country to attempt for pre-teens to attempt to learn about. I’m not saying it’s not worth learning about but it seems like a lot of interesting things about it require you to be able to understand quite a bit of politics.

Yeah, I’d say that’s true. In general people don’t tend to think long term on purchasing decisions. The car manufacturers know this but also know that the EU and Ca require better efficiency anyway and while some companies may completely redesign or omit an American car from the Euro Market they’re unlikely to want to…

That way they can’t have one automaker ignoring everything and undercutting the competition.

I think most Automakers know many people don’t care about efficiency once it makes a car more expensive than competitors. If everyone has a level bar then the automakers can still produce & design engines that may be a little more expensive but more fuel efficient.

They can but fuel efficiency doesn’t sell cars and since most of them probably have to make similarly efficient cars for the Euro Market and Carb States the main automakers would benefit from forcing everyone to.

The automakers have to make cars just as efficient if not more so for other markets and California. Some may build different cars for the Euro/Asian market but I doubt any of them want to make a seperate car for the Californians and neighbouring states that also follow CARB.
