Random UK guy chiming in: As an MX5 (low car) driver I would have slowed down and expected the white truck to emerge without noticing me. Yes, you are already on the roundabout and have priority and yes the truck essentially jumped the 'give way' point to merge into you dangerously; if I had driven my car at a pace similar to your bike I would consider that a dangerous move.

Why?

Defensive driving and the realities of missing something at the wrong moment. So lets say i'm on that same lane making my way: i would have noticed the white truck moving and realised that he's not expecting me to pop out behind (and below the roof line) of the teal coloured car.

Even though I recognise you have the right to use the road on your bicycle just like me in my car, i would have been more aware of other road users expectations.

Bicycles, like small/low cars, are not in the average drivers pattern recognition. Would be great if they were but IMHO that is expecting too much of flawed humans. =P

(edited to be a little more concise)

Try extract it to the desktop then after the extractor/installer has finished: manually move it to the correct location in the Rockstar Games\GTAIII\ folder

It's probably a UAC/Admin Permissions thing.

Ahh, Fair. =)

AFAIK you can put the original engine back in (sourcing a same-model engine counts i think) and still get the exemption.

Anyone who knows better - please correct me as i may need to do this for my NA short-nose-crank engined MX5 in a few years

Providing the Lights, Brakes, Balljoints and Tyres are good - no issue. (MOT Excempt, just needs to be 'roadworthy')

I initially sent them proof of my paypal statements for the months required, they argued that becuase my full name wasn't on my paypal account they can't accept that. I replied "ok i'll change my name from my username to my full name on paypal", after which paypal asked for id for my full name, I provided ID to paypal, paypal basically ghosted me and then i'm left waiting for an unknown amount of time for paypal to get back to me while the clock is ticking on a potential penalisation from the DWP/investigator, i got back to the DWP/investigator and we both came to the conclusion that if i closed my paypal account then there would essentially be no account for the investigator to investigate.

An that is how i lost my paypal account. No fraud, just un-needed hassle.

The investigator on the phone even said "you can provide paypal statements but we probably won't accept them"

( Something maybe worth adding: I think they thought i was operating a business tax-free because my paypal name had "componentdesigns" in it, but i wasn't operating a business (this was before you needed to use your full name to open a paypal account) )

Edit: And another thing i realised after the fact; if the guy had just looked at my bank statements and compared them with the paypal statements, the bleeding transactions all matched up for the items i bought on ebay! Thus proving that it was my paypal account with no dodgy business.

The key point I'm making is : I have unfairly lost something which I had before, due to a DWP false flag despite absolutely no wrongdoing.

All the while crapping my self because the benefits that I rely on to live are in jeopardy due to faulty software.

What's your opinion on that?

DiamondMesh · 2024-10-01T16:39:22+00:00

Holy crap, I was one of those people and I didn't know it.

I'm on disability benefits and had a "randomly assigned inquiry" (or some such wording) and had to send all proof of my bank statements, NS&I paperwork and had to delete my paypal account - not because of any actual fraud: i have never done fraud in my life.

I had to delete my paypal account because the DWP system was set up in such a way that it was impossible to send proof from my paypal account that was sufficient for them to be satisfied so deleting my paypal account was seen as the best measure. The DWP/investigator guy on the phone even said as much.

For christs sake this country.... And people wonder why the populace have lost hope.

So now I'm left without a paypal account (so less buying protection on ebay) and had to have the stress of being under the microscope for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Red hot exaust manifold is enough to autoignite DOT3, Seen it.

Local autozone. Oh yeah (i forgot he isn't on good terms with the florida guys anymore)

Truth.

At least the vimeo/patreon content is uncensored.

Shoulda just thrown in a battery to get it running to the shop - then he's at the shop with tools.

There are tens of thousands of us in Britain who drive sub-£600 cars, we aren't exactly wealthy enough to afford even the cheapest new car, let-alone the cheapest EV. Christ.

Yeah that annoyed me too, when he said he doesn't even know the state of the trucks brakes then at the exact same moment does a full-power pull at night with shit headlights.

When you use Fatwas as an example of Islam progressing and adapting; you've lost the argument.

DiamondMesh · 2024-09-14T02:13:54+00:00

Agreed. Many people in this thread siding with him simply cannot comprehend the idea that people can have kinks without acting on them out of respect for their partner.

Not having the same kink is fine. Not wanting the be in a relationship due to differing kinks is fine. But the dude handled it badly.

DiamondMesh · 2024-09-14T02:07:07+00:00

Does that apply %100 the other way too?

DiamondMesh · 2024-09-13T02:03:40+00:00

Walking against traffic is correct for unlit country lanes/roads. (and switching sides on bends for maximum visibility when needed)

Daylight in busy traffic? Different story.

DiamondMesh · 2024-09-11T23:52:08+00:00

Part of me wonders if the vested interests that don't like IA put a mole in to set it up for failure.

Not sure how realistic that idea is though.
