“What if we make a teletubby but evil?”

+1 for prosody. But you’ll still probably need a turnserver for calls, won’t you?

Not the British equivalent of parole. Just parole. And that’s not automatic.

Did they keep forgetting the plot?

I suspect that will happen, but it’s crazy for the previous comment to grumble he wasn’t sentenced as a serial when he’s not yet convicted of more than one.

Only convicted of one so far, plus assaults, so not yet officially a serial, so wait & see.

No, it’s a video.

Only on social media would someone be so entrenched as to insist there’s only one valid design of litter bin!

I agree we should all hate driving but because it’s a waste of so many people’s time when mass transit exists and it’s ludicrous that driving is so heavily subsidised and marketed that so many think it worthwhile. It is possible to drive safely, even if many (most?) drivers don’t.

No variance is stated in the standard, if I recall correctly, so you could go as far under the limit as you like but never over, but going way too slow (if your vehicle can go faster) would fail a different point in the standard so in practical test, you probably want to stay within 15-20% unless there’s good reason to slow further. Yes, hills are included, so you have to know how to cause regenerative or engine breaking, as well as mechanical, but this is rarely tested.

There’s little difference. In one of the holders, it’s a bin.

It’s not pretty cool. Hglding a speed is a basic driving skill we have to learn to meet the UK National Standard for Driving Cars and it’s shocking if it’s not elsewhere.

Maybe I’m being an asshole, but not as much as someone speeding and massively increasing the probability of killing anyone they may hit.

Others have answered about HUD in detail.

1. brake earlier!
2. get a head-up-display so you can see your speed while looking at the road,
3. learn how to judge constant speed by sight better,
4. if someone really can’t hold a steady speed downhill, maybe it’s time to surrender their driving licence because they don’t meet the standard.

The IRA are the reason why you won’t find litter bins in transit stations.

No, there are bins at most train stations too small to have full-time cleaners you hand rubbish to, but they’re see-through so anything suspicious is seen and reported to “see it say it sorted”.

Isn’t facebook and its data-harvesting and facial recognition now at the point where uploading anyone’s likeness without consent is harassment?

Pervert glasses

And breathing “could lead to” smoke inhalation. You can do anything wrong. This study seems to be waffle based on “modelling” not real data collection. The more useful question is how often is it happening, if at all?

I rarely fly and don’t use Telegram (is that the one controlled by a Russian emigre?) but I love the idea of something like this for a platform I use (fedi, xmpp, nextcloud, even email) that let me easily define scrapers for things like high speed trains and hotels.

In general, I agree, service frequency & reliability are critical, but I just want to push back on the idea you would have been “better off driving”. For starters, you would have lost the reading or chatting time on the train to having to work driving, plus the extra time and money on parking, fuel and maybe tolls. Maybe your time is so valuable that you have no slack or downtime otherwise in your day and doing that work is worth it to save some, but often it’s just a case of dealing with the unpredictability and having spare time near a station instead of elsewhere. And of course, all it takes is another driver to crash ahead of you and you can be sat there hours while they rescue the victims, recover the vehicle and clear the queues.

It’s still better if the train service is reliable and has enough capacity, of course!

Didn’t Musk post his own phone number on the site formerly known as Twitter recently?

For sure, but find any grocery store with a refrigeration engineer based in store in your town/city. Managers see it as cheaper and good enough to outsource.
