Stumpy

I heard this on the radio. "Escape Captors?!" though? That has a ring of "the dog ate my homework" about it.

Plus NONE of the things he's said actually contest that masks, even just cloth ones, are effective at reducing transmission rates. Feels like this one is another political animal trying to distort actual facts.

Nah it be easy. I saw a documentary about it called "Maverick"

Absolutely mind blown by some of the coverage around the stabbing in Australia recently with online commenters from the US trying to turn this into a reason why Australia should relax its gun laws when it's the exact opposite. (Man with knife attacked a bunch of people, killing 6. Australian police woman shot and killed him) https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/15/australia/australia-sydney-mall-attacker-targeted-women-victims-intl-hnk/index.html

Probably hoping the US will step in and do it for them.

But better I'd never use parcel force by choice now. DPD seems to be the reliable option where I live.

There's a lair? Damn i never wanted to be a moderator before but NOW i do!! Hollowed out volcano?

Every time a GOP rep retires, they seem to suddenly see sense. What are they doing it for - performance art?!

We know why you included them.

Scarlett Johanssen nailed her to the wall in the post SOTU sendup. Very well done indeed.

Fixed it for you. Just about any motorbike you can think of can run sub 12. Some very cheap ones can run sub 10. Car drivers usually can't really conceive just how fast bikes are. Incidentally M4s and M5s can run sub 12 as well - i wouldn't group them in the rare/very expensive category - not cheap though, sure.

She's special isn't she.

To paraphrase Monty python, that just proves it must be true!

I've just put a new map on my mx5 (miata) engine in my lotus 7 replica that has liberated about 25HP. Crazy how easy it is, and on a car weighing less than half a tonne, that makes quite a difference

She is the best example of living rent free in their heads - it would be funny if it wasn't so weird.

Huh thats weird. Althogh I have been trying to work out how I could fit a tesla motor in the rear and the batteries under the hood...

Similar - not a caterham though, they are waaaay too expensive for a toy. This is much more self build by a company called MK - its a miata 1.8 engine and running gear running about 160bhp on an aftermarket ECU.

I think I've said it before - I think cars are going to be like watches eventually. The every day ones will be cheap, capable, and electric (quartz casio equivalent) And the expensive ones for collectors will be objectively worse in almost every way but have more emotion associated. I have built this thing - its all sorts of fun but my next proper everyday car will be electric.

I mute the trolls so I'm not responding to brent directly, but the "Equivalent ICE vehicle" thing is an interesting one. My right hand man at work has an EV. Its a cheap family hatchback that does 0-60 faster than most supercars. There isn't an equivalent ICE car. For similar money, most ICE cars 0-60 times are measured in days.

Yeah no I get that - but I'm not seeing the passion (from the other side of the pond admittedly) in the US electorate to KEEP trump out, as much as there was to get him out the first time round. For most of the western world, that's a bit of a worry. I hope I'm wrong on that and D turnout will be good.

The point is - if this is who turns out for the election because they care the most and are most riled up, Trump is gonna win. I REALLY hope for the US sake, thats not the case.

Wow. R's really got their asses handed to them in that hearing. Although I'm sure the MAGAs probably see it the other way round.

do you think she had anyone in mind?

As an average, that seems quite significant?!

Very true. Man it’s fast though, and effortless. I’ve built my own lotus 7 replica with plenty of power that’s as fast as anything else (within reason, multi million dollar hypercars aside) burning dinosaur juice, and this blows it into the weeds without making any fuss. I think I’ll pass this time round, frankly just don’t need it and certainly don’t need the servicing costs.
