I'm exactly the same, end up doing a lot of nod-and-smile which isn't ideal! My hearing isn't great in the high frequencies, but nothing major.

Is the BYD Seal available there? That feels like a closer competitor in terms of size.

> On a more technical note, is there any safeguard against SIM swaps? The only solution is to refuse to use SMS for 2FA. If a service requires it, use a different service.

It's the same here (coroners investigate deaths); they weirdly also handle these treasure finds.

It feels like the rule-bending used to be more obvious (to the naked eye), like strapping a massive fan to the back of the car. Now it's extending some bodywork by a few millimetres, etc. It's still impressive, but there's le

The noise of the electric milk float was oddly haunting. Partly because it was generally still dark outside.

Google frames this as “win probability” which feels more like statistics rather than gambling.

Highly recommend James’ podcast with comedian Al Murray, “We Have Ways of Making You Talk”. Very interesting and approachable episodes.

Or even earlier than at the gate. If you book a flight for 6 months time, there's nothing stoping them changing the allocated aircraft in 3 months.

How so? Using Whitby as an example, it's about 240 miles (4h40) to Holyhead; you could stop on the way for a little top-up and loo break. If you wanted to arrive in Dublin with a fullish battery, there's a Gridserve at the port it

Do people need 48 miles (or 24 miles if the charging is slow because of the temperature) of range every day? Genuine question, I don't know what driving in that area is like, i.e. nearest grocery story could be 10 miles?

I went on a SRN.4 across the channel; I’ve never felt so sea-sick! Maintenance costs must have been huge, since it was powered by turboprop engines. All the cost of an aeroplane, none of the speed or comfort.

There's a David McWilliams podcast episode about how Ireland has enough wind potential to meet their entire energy demand and be a net exporter. Interesting listen https://shows.acast.com/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast&#x

Do you still pay the same standing charge? That's where a lot of the cost seems to have shifted (on my non-variable tariff at least).

The logbook says "at commencement" (i.e. at the time this logbook starts from, the engine has 0 hours). It's because there might be multiple logbooks for an engine, so if you reached the end of logbook1 and it had 5000 hours

Wow, that's incredibly close. I assumed there would be a public database of CE (European) approved devices or manufacturers, but I can't find one from a quick search.

Contracting is still alive, posing as a contractor while being an employee is dead. Tech pay is low compared to the US, but still very high compared to average salaries.
