Ofcom published a report today that pretty much declares the Online Safety Act a complete failure

This was the car my parents had when I was born, silver with red upholstery, so brings back lots of memories.

Last week above the city of Rhenen in The Netherlands. I had been wanting to photograph this church tower with these kinds of conditions for years, and I finally managed to do so. What a morning.

even better.. after turning on the 'traffic' layer on Android GMaps and zooming right in, I can see that Granham's Road is in fact shown as "Road Closed, Until Nov 1, Updated over a week ago, From Waze". But it still recommends I drive down it!

Two years ago, I got the scoop of my career (so far): that the Citroën 2CV was coming back. The news went global, and a rival UK publication (also with Auto in its name) ran a counter-story saying it definitely WASN’T happening. Finally, here we are. And I was right. Gloat over 😅

I think the thing I love about that version even more is it's not a touch screen - there are infrared emitters/receivers (visible as bumps) arrayed across the edges of the screen, and 'buttons' were placed in specific locations so that 'touching' them broke the beams in an X/Y coordinate.

Honestly, he nearly finished eating so I sat down on a nearby bench and then he just abandoned his remaining piece to run back to me and stand next to me expectantly

EV infrastructure really hasnt caught up with the insane EV demand here, went past highway charging bays with a 40+ line up of cars in one service station and decided to just use range extender instead.

It’s going to end up that they’re going to be a bunch of scotes who were going round nicking fertiliser and farm stuff and hadn’t realised how close to the air base they were

Obama on CSPAN : “Even when I was president, I sometimes fantasised about, if you put women in charge of every government for like two years and then just kind of saw, all right, how are things going?

I understand people’s trepidation toward change but switching to an EV was so much easier than I thought it would be. 4 years in and very happy with our purchase. High gas prices are now. Climate change is now. If you are shopping for a car anyway, make it an EV.

Up until about 10-15 years ago (when stabilized, remote heads because universally standard) i'd still encounter old Citroen cars that were converted into camera platforms due to their incredibly smooth air suspension system. I remember a push to electrify some of them, but the tech was too new.
