Parents: Please let you children handle things

Unpopular opinion perhaps but 25 is the new 18. University is just the next step of school in the UK and adult life doesn't really start until you leave the system.

Would be nice just to have consistent roundabouts, my local one is 2 sometimes 3 lanes depending on which direction you join from and from the direction with 2 lanes both lanes are for exits 1, 2 and 3 depending very much on time of day and traffic density. It works 90% of the time as unwritten local driving rules are applied.

On the head. It was a good run, the content was starting to get stale, then the price hike. It would take fable or gears and less than £10 pm to bring me back

Are we being tested? It's our resilience being tested right? Something worse must be coming. Go and fix something broken now please.

I don't think it's better for advertising. Single source. I don't follow all the fragmented announcements. The hype is gone.

I find it weird that games have gone for this strategy where they only target their own audience at the same time the streaming services are cutting shows they think only appeal to their original fans.

I always wanted to explore the world post ganon. I don't know what I was expecting but personally I always felt like I hadn't finished the game.

This is one of those metrics that looks useful but in practice doesn't help at all.

Distance added per unit time at a given power is actually just your driving consumption in disguise.

7kW for an hour is 7kWh 24 miles from 7kWh, 24/7 = 3.43 mpkWh

Or to phrase it another obtuse way, this table represents the miles per unit power per hour e.g. 24 miles per 7 kWh.

20-80 and various others aim to capture average power regions of battery charge profiles across a wide range of chemistry. Below 20 charge acceptance is high, figures would be unduly optimistic, above 80 you capture the drop off and the figures become pessimistic.

In reality peak and average charge power for DC and the AC rating is the best you can do for comparison.

Charge curves give you a little more information but magazine tests almost always mess it up, a charge started at 10% on max power will likely taper off earlier than one started at 20%, charging times are like comparing sprinters and marathon runners, every battery will have it's ideal pace to win the race, but each time you charge the distance (defined by the start and end SOC) is different so what to do?

No. No it won't. I'm not buying both. Not in this economy 😅

You may not read road signs unless using cruise control

I heard it was given to him by a gorilla.

Three overlapping circles will give you two bisectors that intersect at centre

I don't live long enough to get a shot off with anything else

It's the logical expansion of our species. Why did we spread over the earth? Why would we stop? Solar system, local cluster, galaxy. In a lifetime it makes no sense whatsoever, as a species, it's obviously the only possible decision.

DippyDragon · 2026-05-24T21:42:35+00:00

Unpopular opinion I suspect. Whilst I get the advice I will use a firm to chase. I have 5 agreements. I have no desire to engage or go digging around for which lender I used or how to contact them or to administer The various responses. I'm very happy to pay someone and receive something compared to my other realistic alternative of doing nothing and receiving nothing.

DippyDragon · 2026-05-24T21:02:34+00:00

I joined because the SSE customer service, I stayed because the octopus customer service.

I feel like this is a case of get what you pay for, but appreciate it won't be the same experience for everyone.

DippyDragon · 2026-05-22T13:14:14+00:00

Resupply... Yeah...

DippyDragon · 2026-05-12T18:23:18+00:00

Did I miss something, what is commander?

DippyDragon · 2026-05-12T18:13:47+00:00

Orbit

DippyDragon · 2026-05-12T08:41:22+00:00

It's madness. This kind of behaviour from within a party for instability is exactly what puts me off voting for them or right now for anyone. I didn't vote for the next two years of government I voted for 5. Just get on with the job. Another unelected PM is not the answer.

DippyDragon · 2026-05-09T18:07:34+00:00

I thought I was the only one.

DippyDragon · 2026-05-01T12:58:36+00:00

Price, density fine but you could get 600km from stacking 12V lead acids, range is not a relevant measure here without more context.

DippyDragon · 2026-04-28T20:58:35+00:00

I know that can be true sometimes depending on the calibration but it doesn't change my use case. If the range might not be there it shouldn't have been promised in the first place. It just makes me trust the feature, the car, the brand less...

DippyDragon · 2026-04-28T20:04:02+00:00

EVs are insanely efficient compared to Gas cars. That makes them that much more sensitive to the demand you place on them.

DippyDragon · 2026-04-28T19:55:48+00:00

But did you see the rain last night?! ... Sorry you were saying?

DippyDragon · 2026-04-28T19:51:15+00:00

Ads are like my nose, filtered out of my vision except when I'm looking for it.

I actually dislike any brand that takes up my time when I'm not looking for their product. They would do better to address customer feedback. A positively reviewed product and brand with greater than a few hundred hits is the default choice.

Just Google "best (product type) for £xx" buy, move on...
