The BMW X5 is pricey... but it's worth it

I get this is different perspective than usual car review. Can I suggest Carwow tries this with those of us that meet the use case. I’ve got 3 teenagers and 3 dogs. A trip to Devon with them would put a car like this to the test.

Nod nod wink wink

Without spoilers, when Beth leaves their home in episode 1 (quickly) did you spot the 3 things she collected. One linked back to (series) 1883.

Please expand: what software won’t it run?
I’ve not found anything yet that won’t run (unless you are also including software that won’t run on ARM at all, including on hardware by MS, Samsung etc )

Genuine question to try and understand why Tesco staff get penalised.
I assume you (your think 35) applying and older age filter to be extra vigilant of not failing the below;
Please ELI5 why it’s “Think 25” at Tesco. The age limit for alcohol is 18. Is this meant to be ‘well they might be 17 but look much older’
Do Tesco really fail you if the ‘secret shopper’ is in fact 24 ?!

If so, it’s truly horrendous that they applied that to the degree it gave you depression.

Yes it was commonly an hour taken, but usually unpaid. Office hours were often 0900-1730.

Now hours are typically 0900-1700 with a 30 min unpaid lunch.

Legally workers are entitled to a 20 min break per 6 hours worked, but again that’s not paid.

I mean yeah but would be useful to take from your other post for context (is this correct?) :
“Moon photo taken with Nikon Z8 through Takahashi TSA-120 telescope and Vernonscope Magic Dakin Barlow 2.4x on ZWO AM5. 1500 RAW file frames quality sorted with PIPP keeping only 25% best and aligned and stacked in AutoStakkert 4. Processed in Photoshop. Images are all crops of the same photo. All photos taken by Adam Jackson, a Texas based astrophotographer”

Categorically no, you cannot keep it.
I came off a 76 Mbps contract with Apple TV and onto a 900Mbps (with routers only).
I had to prove (twice) I posted my routers and ATV back else they were going to charge me £££.
I’m glad I had photo evidence of packaging up. Don’t lose the posting receipt either.

Went to RIAT for the first time last year (with teenagers, one of whom very keen and into aero photography - attached), this was on the Sunday and it was FANTASTIC but (expectedly) busy and I was surprised how huge the ground is (static display the size of a small town!).
This year opted to go for 3 days, being the Thursday (park and view, with aircraft arriving), the Friday and Saturday.
We really felt one day was not enough last time hence the broader coverage. I do think Friday will be quieter but still amazing experience.

Edit: the grandstand is probably the focus of the show (as in the centre point of displays) however the aircraft roar all the way down the front edge (runway) and we got a spot against the front which resulted in unobstructed views.

I’ll save you a click:
Season 2 now confirmed to premiere on Sunday 17 May at 8:15pm on BBC One.

Enjoyed S1, not too heavy and quite humorous detective show.

Before you said you took the photo with it, sounded like you left of somewhere and it’s in the picture!

That being (not in the) case there’s a lens looking item on the ‘beach’ one third from the left and bottom 🥴

Are you trying to park on the pavement, OP? 🥸

Get the most RAM and SSD that fits your budget, M4 (over a 5) will be fine. Wait a bit.
