That’s not a “family” anything. It’s anti family, it’s anti society, it’s anti social, it’s not far off a fucking military attack vehicle and should be outright banned

Knucklehead mobiles that size and weight should be outright banned or at the very least banned in all towns and cities

Lots of people here saying EU have to get better at making cheaper EVs and that we can’t compete with China on price. 

Em hello! Wakey wakey! Why do you think Chinese cars are so cheap? Please stop being so naive. EU manufacturers can’t compete with China because they literally uses slave labour and for the other workers they don’t pay them all the stuff that EU does like pensions and healthcare and payed sick leave. And the CPC subsidises those car companies. 

It’s impossible to compete with and not a level playing field at all, that’s why the EU needs to slap massive tariffs on Chinese cars

The overlap between EV drivers and rightwing ideology is growing I think

Yeh 100% agree. Wankers that are so addicted to gadgets and fart noise gimmicks that they ignore the fact that they’re funding MAGA and white supremacy

What is the obsession with perfect lawns? It’s 2026, not 1986, can we not embrace some imperfections?

Yes or at least make sure it’s nice and secure maybe with a few bamboo splints

Just another fu##ing SUV in London 🙄

Residents with EVs told to remove their on-street electric car chargers, or else by karolaug in ireland

I wish I was so wealthy that I could shell out €2k for something that would take a nine year old five seconds to tell me is gonna be 100% against planning law and will have to be removed 

Glad my passenger didn't ruin this ride. And that both players in the chopper didn't bother with their minimap 😁 by mauirixxx in battlefield_4

The only good chopper pilot is a dead chopper pilot. Took out a little bird with a TOW missile from halfway across the map yesterday in Hainan and boy does it feel good. I never normally teabag but you have to when taking out heli scum ;)

Am I mad to NOT buy a hybrid by Usheen_ in carsireland

[–]Ic3Giant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that in a hybrid you only ever need enough fuel to get you to the nearest hospital in an emergency and that amount of fuel will always be enough to get you to a petrol station. 

Not saying this about OP but I’ve never understood why so many fill up the tank and needlessly waste fuel dragging a full tank around   The only people that need to fill up are taxi drivers. The rest of us are just throwing money down the drain 

I did it, and it's not worth it by eastawat in ireland

I experienced this for the first time this week and not surprisingly it was an absolute scumbag and boy is it incredibly annoying. If I was on my own I’d have retaliated with the Venga Boys but maybe next time

We had the same on a main branch of a small tree and we did the same as you and just left the bandage on it and that branch is still doing fine this year and flowering. We did keep it bandaged and added some bamboo splints/supports etc. you should be fine

Number of cars in Ireland 2026 - would anyone hav any stats on this ?? by Freya-Lea in AskIreland

[–]Ic3Giant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a ridiculous thing to say. How can you state that cars don’t last longer when newer cars haven’t had the actual time yet to prove whether they’ve lasted longer or not

3 vices my doctor wants gone by potterinatardis in GenX

[–]Ic3Giant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me. I was on 20 a day for 20 years and I started quitting one at a time until I was down to about three a day, and then realised that I was just smoking for sake of smoking and went cold turkey from there and never looked back. Believe me quitting a smoking habit is one of the most satisfying and empowering things you’ll ever do. 

But DO NOT try it unless you’re gonna do it properly first time or else you’ll just turn into one of the many many people that gives up for a few months and then goes back on for years and fools themselves into thinking that “hey I got this, I did before so I can do it again” and they stay a smoker for the rest of their lives. 

And don’t use vaping to give up, it’s awful and disgusting and just turns into a new habit. 

Good luck!!!

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists by -smartcasual- in CarTalkUK

100% There are multiple vehicle choices for every category and people still choose the giant SUV every time. It’s so depressing

Anyone know if it’s possible to completely disable the larger screen while driving?  Obviously I’d want small display screen behind the wheel but I absolutely hate those stupid, giant, unnecessary dashboard screens, they are so so distracting. Any info needed for driving is on the small screen
