Most of the stories are about how the laws don’t work and how to circumvent them, yes.

It sounds like how I think I sound, so nothing like what I really sound like in recordings.

Can’t believe you’ve been doing these for nearly a year! Are you gonna keep going after the anniversary?

I grew up in Asia and had a chipped playstation 1 as a kid. It allowed it to read copies, was pretty standard stuff over there the copies could be found in legit stores and everything.

Anyway it started struggling to read the CDs. We figured out if we turned it upside down, it would be able to read them no problem. I suspect it was gravity making the lens come a bit closer to the CDs but don’t know for sure.

It was certainly funny having it upside down, worked a charm.

I donate monthly to my instance.

Came in here to say detectorists, now I’m leaving with a new show to rewatch, score!

Dunno about favourite but I recently watched the surfer and it kinda hit a weird spot I didn’t know I have. Was pretty good.

Eh I have no knowledge about tracheotomy besides what I’ve seen on TV but I mean if push comes to shove I’m just gonna jab a pen tube in the victim’s throat man, it’s gotta be worth a try. /s

Yep I have a kid and run my own business which is very demanding. I’m always strapped for time and I still find a little bit for gaming here and there. I do have to select for low investment games like rocket league, indie games, etc. I wish I could play WoW all day but that’s a bridge too far.

It’s pretty amazing that the break line was perfectly symmetrical, allowing them to put it back together backwards.

Yes it’s the right long term goal, but the US is nowhere near ready for strong nationalised enterprises, they would just stop getting funding and die. There is a requirement for strong, positive minded government and a shared understanding of the benefits of having nationalised societal services before it can work.

Olive in french. Boring word I guess.

I thought it was older, short but sweet.

Nah not at all tbh, you can get very smooth deceleration with it and it doesn’t feel floaty or whatever, it does take a tiny adjustment to how you drive, you don’t coast anymore but rather you can finely control your deceleration by how much you lift the accelerator, it’s quite nice to be honest I always drive it in that mode (even if it’s not real one pedal).

I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.

Yeah my electric 208 is kinda like that (if I remember the video well, watched it a while ago) but since it’s Europe there actually is a regulation about how much a car can decelerate before break lights come on, so instead of making the system turn the lights on they throttle how much it can decelerate for recharge and still makes you use the break to use full regen (and eventually the actual brakes, of course). So it’s not a real “one pedal driving”.

If your idea of the world stops at Malaga, then that would be a suprise to you.

In my experience it’s the Dutch travelling with their own mayo, they don’t like the French stuff (too spicy).

This is particularly painful for all these middle-men companies like booking.com, eBay/equivalents, Uber, etc etc. So much wasted resources that is literally only there to extract as much as they can from transactions between two other parties, really all that’s needed from these services is a functioning platform, something 3 motivated engineers could probably maintain (exaggerating for effect).

All this stuff should be either open source or nationalised.
