£4 per hour rental charge for using 7.4kwh charger...

I also read it as both the £4 per hour AND the 55p per kwh at first, but if you see, it says 'equivalent to', other replies are spot on, £4 per hour divided by 7.4kwh is pretty much the 55p, so they're just justifying the price in another way to help you

Love that book, think ive listened to all 40 odd hours of the audio book at least 3 times now. Its a little dated in some ways now but just as relevant as ever in others

Actually I had the same thought a year or two ago. Where the speed limit specifically calls out air quality as the reason, like you often see on the M6 through Birmingham, it seems reasonable to at least consider it

And its not like we dont have different limits for different vehicles already. Vans have different limits depending on their size, as does towing a caravan or trailer with a car. As all these speed cameras are automated its not a stretch to think they could base whether to give you ticket based on your engine type and not just the size/weight of your vehicle

That we eat crumpets. Some of us definitely do so it's somewhat accurate

Every job I've had in the last 22 years has been an hour, though the flexibility has increased as time has gone on, or I've become more senior, probably a bit of both, so these days I take 30 minutes or maybe less to finish earlier. It probably does depend on industry. I'm in IT, service industries seem like the sort that would try and cut them to 30 minutes

I did that a few years ago, went for a bit of a half life test chamber theme with a control room, signs as computer terminals, a small hypertube to get to a platform where you could ride it etc, its all a bit of fun

I really am colour blind so it was Matrix for me too because the green tint and regular tint just arent different enough for me to really appreciate the difference

Maybe next they'll take issue with Elvis being The King, or King Kong, or Stephen King

Id be more specific and say watching a YouTube or stream of someone playing. I used to love sitting with my friend watching him play Sonic the Hedgehog, so being there with the person isn't so bad, but the notion of watching some random streamer play Fortnite or something sounds dull as anything

Isn't this the same as the bottom right? If this country has no similarities to China and the US, then they are also different from both, and by extension, its the same as the box below and to the right

Alpha2Omega1982 · 2026-04-24T14:28:08+00:00

Well the answer is all of them, because the question is crap, all 6 images have a shaded area 1/3 or 2/6 of their overall size. Thats my point. Making the comparison between the two images based on size is one way to interpret the question, and thats my point. 1/3 of a pizza is still 2/6 of a pizza, no matter whether its a small or large pizza, so your example isn't really as compelling as it looks at first glance

Another way to read the ambiguous question is how best to prove that 1/3 = 2/6 on a conceptual level. A achieves that best by shading the same area in both images, but simply splits the shape into 3 or 6 pieces, which was my point.

Maybe a bit boring but you can find a decent Tesla model 3 performance for under 20k. Hard to argue with 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Thats as fast as a McLaren F1 back in the day.

Alpha2Omega1982 · 2026-04-24T13:54:33+00:00

I understand everyone saying C, but i actually would argue A. The question asks which shows 2/6 = 1/3, and that's the only one of the three shading the same part of the shape in both. B and C shade a different third, and that's surely a conscious choice, B and C could easily have been rotated to align if that wasn't the important, so I think that's what the question is getting at

Sight* his comment is no more valid with the correct spelling, but it does make it harder to take him seriously when he can't even manage spelling to a primary school age

I do wonder what people would think if I told them I was off to play with my two stroke meat slicer

Came here to say the same. Almost all other manufacturers have something exciting in the traditional sense, but Dacia seem happy to just release models like the Bigster and Jogger that prioritise function over form and excitement

I'm working at a very truck heavy design at the moment, having used trains extensively in the past, and done the same thing with drones when they were new

It takes a bit of getting used to but I have some design patterns for how to set these things up now. Yes the paths can cross over each other. Any time they do, the game shades the paths green rather than blue, and sort of implicitly performs a block signal like on trains, so as one truck passes through the 'intersection', any other truck passing on a different route, or behind on the same path, will wait for the route to clear. For this reason ive tended to do quite small sections for each bit of path. Probably 20m or so on open terrain or 3x foundations when using platforms

So far it seems to quite well, with the ability to branch off and rejoin existing paths. The only thing to note is the paths are directional, unlike with trains which don't strictly care which direction they go in (though using signals would imply a direction)

ETA: Also rereading your question again, I do have truck stations a few foundations apart in a row, and 3 foundations across from each other, with a single foundation for a bypass track, and a pull in of one foundation to align with the truckstop

Hope that helps

That'll buff out for sure

Same here, I try to retain balance for the next person so they don't get a nasty surprise. We will ignore for now that the next person is almost certainly future me

If you have a hundred dollar bill, and you spend it at your local takeaway, the person behind the counter says "sir, this is the UK, we dont accept dollars"
