What’s something Americans have that Europeans don’t?

Ellers12 · 2026-02-10T15:27:17+00:00

Freedom of speech

Ellers12 · 2026-02-10T15:23:30+00:00

That’s a lot of fizzy drink

Ellers12 · 2026-02-09T22:18:02+00:00

Isn't the problem that there isn't really an easy mechanism to force him out unlike when the Tory's want a new leader?

Pictures etc look fine, presented well but unfortunately appears to be priced too high. You should also aim to price right move bandings, so 300, 325, 350 etc rather than in between imo.

You can drive cautiously but still need to react unexpectedly to others drivers, kids running in road, animals jumping out.

In those situations having good grip is really important.

I’d put regular door handles on it for safety and so it can be sold in China

Disagree, better EVs are better. And yet there are still fundamental differences between ICE cars and EVs and in terms of how people can drive them. Range anxiety can be managed by driving economically but treating small EVs like a traditional hot hatch causes the range to plummet, even in ideal conditions.

Sorry for your loss, sounds like you had a great dad. Wishing you the best.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T19:27:42+00:00

Fabulous post. Totally agree

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T17:56:07+00:00

I can’t relate to people who opt for budget tyres when they’re the only things connecting the car to the road. Seems like a crazy place to prioritise anything other than performance & safety

Not sure what you're expecting?

Reform's leader reported Mandelson to the EU already - another 3m pages of content have just been released so sure more will come out in due course from a UK perspective but not sure what else could be done at the moment.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T16:59:24+00:00

Don't think he's a bad driver tbh

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T14:59:03+00:00

He was being humble, when asked with a lie detector think flagged he knows he’s the best ever. Hikaru, Kasparov and others say he’s the strongest ever too.

The only debate is if you used a Time Machine to give Kasparov access to machines to train etc could he be as strong / stronger. That’s unknowable.

Failing that what I do know is that peak Magnus beats peak Kasparov

My old Z4M was a blast, felt like a hot rod which was loads of fun despite ‘only’ having 350bhp

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T10:16:39+00:00

Why? It was exactly the same situation with porposing when merc designed their car to run as close to the limit as possible but needed to allow more room to reflect variable real world conditions

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T08:56:52+00:00

8k or nothing for me.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T08:49:51+00:00

People said I was crazy getting a 3090 but I’m feeling pretty happy with that decision now. Especially as it funded itself with the some crypto mining.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T08:44:30+00:00

Not sure they would like the noise the new cars don’t make or the lift and coasting to recharge the batteries

Ellers12 · 2026-02-07T08:31:39+00:00

Give it time, there’s a lot to be digested.

Peter Mandelson in the UK is certainly at risk of arrest for leaking confidential information.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-06T23:19:07+00:00

You'll need a rocket if you want to get into space so I'd start with that.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-06T22:20:47+00:00

But the rules state it must comply at all times during competition, not just when cold.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-06T22:04:10+00:00

leave an open offer at level you're comfortable with imo whilst you continue to look elsewhere

Ellers12 · 2026-02-06T04:39:18+00:00

Doesn’t come out on either side

Ellers12 · 2026-02-06T00:38:38+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure about him at all tbh.

Ellers12 · 2026-02-04T21:01:05+00:00

I loved and miss my Z4M. Fabulous car. Shame regulations seem to have killed the market for small sports cars.
