Roundabouts are the #1 reason why I miss my MX-5 - the little Abarth is lovely but I haven’t worked out the kinks of left foot braking yet, but I was able to break traction on the MX-5 round a roundabout more-or-less at will.

Just to be clear, I did this on my motorcycle, which at least has a wet clutch and therefore is quite happy to run with the clutch slipping.

Real drivers start in 4th.

As someone who literally grew up in a small village in Berkshire, England, I find this endlessly hilarious - but I would also like to point out that our neighbours in the sleepy village with the big red barn include George and Amal Clooney, Uri Gellar, oh, and Theresa May. (I’ve not met the Clooneys.)

Two words - laundry sanitiser.

Unrelated to the main topic, but DAMN if that top photo isn’t just one of the most Oxford things ever. This city is ridiculous.

Oh, the comments about the cabin and bodyshell were unrelated to the other aspect. I just hated how small the cabin was compared to how wide the body was.

Bao are amazing and I won’t accept a single slight against them. Char siu are clearly the best bao, but the red lotus bean paste and sesame seed paste ones are brilliant dessert dim sum.

I learned to drive on a ‘98 “New Beetle”, and while it was a fun enough little car to bomb down country lanes in the middle of night, it was probably the worst car to drive that I’ve ever owned, with a body - and bumpers - so much wider than its tiny interior, and a lethargic little motor that seemed to have lost most…

I lived in Amsterdam for a year doing my Master’s, and managed to avoid a lot of the usual clichés. Still, here’s my tips:

What I find fascinating about this practise is that some manufacturers found that limiting the higher end processor with code just led to tech savvy customers unlocking it themselves; So, instead, they started welding physical shunts into the processor to limit its power, making the low end one cost more to…

Silicone is condom safe; you’re thinking of oil based lube, which wrecks latex condoms, but some other types are ok with it.

I gave up at the exact same time. High-five!

Wait, so is this anime Dark Souls/Bloodborne? Cos I’m getting a serious Dark Souls vibe (especially with that “prepare to dine” line), but dressed up in anime visuals.

Since your question didn’t specify whether or not I dined alone with them - a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I went for a movie with a female friend of ours, then went for pizza bagels. After that, we took her back to our place and the three of us fucked like rabbits.

One of my first job interviews after getting my undergraduate degree from one of the top universities globally was at a small local company; they asked me to prepare to negotiate salary in my interview as negotiating ability was a skill they were looking for. I opened the discussion by stating the average starting…

The NES was launched in North America in 1985, and the Gamecube in 2001. Today, the Gamecube is as old as the NES was when the Gamecube came out.

I’d wondered if there was a particular reason for this - indicators on motorcycles often make a similar noise, but it’s virtually impossible to hear with the engine running and/or with a helmet on - you only really hear it when testing the indicators at a complete stop with no helmet, so it didn’t really seem…

Junji Ito, yeah, but not Uzumaki. It was Gyo - or one of the side-stories/bonus chapters published with it named The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Junji Ito shakes me to my core. In a good way.

Those huge dangling earrings stretching your lobes made it... very difficult to watch and pay attention to what you were talking about. I’m not sure I can remember what you said about the cookies, but those earrings were fascinating.
