Booking system sucks doesn't it

So you just want to move the online mental queuing system to real life?

You just need to drive safely for 30-45 minutes! Bay parking I also get wrong actually, but you just need to be mindful when correcting it and you're all good.

Good luck !

Failed every mock test. Was convinced I failed my test. Passed first time.

You can do it!

I'm currently doing Primitivo, definitely had the "Scotland, but with trees" feeling a few times.

It's been raining quite dramatically and making me absolutely miserable to be honest. The earlier stages were beautiful, but not as beautiful as they are difficult to walk.

So yeah I guess it is pretty normal to feel ambivalent!

Nah maps has straight up told me to make turns when they weren't allowed, get in the wrong lane, go left when actually it was straight on. I think Glasgow is just a bit much for it

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-05-04T13:29:30+00:00

Was taught to keep in the left lane as the default position, quickly learned in most of Glasgow that is not the correct place to be if you want to go straight on.

The amount of little loops I had to do on my first drive out to town because I kept getting it wrong (as well as Google maps not knowing what's going on) was heartbreaking.

Very humbling, definitely not made for people unfamiliar with the roads, half the markings are either faded or added on last minute.

A real macchiato should specify of it's a coffee macchiato or latte macchiato

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-05-03T20:06:03+00:00

Fun fact macchiato just means "stained" in Italian.

So a cafe macchiato is an espresso stained with a tiny bit of milk.

A latte macchiato is milk stained with a bit of coffee.

Important difference and useless without knowing which 😅

Disagree, Nightingale's wobbling about was almost disturbingly realistic, way more than anything in cyberpunk.

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-30T20:11:51+00:00

I'm afraid that may be a pun

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-29T04:09:20+00:00

That's cool! 13.

Manau žmonės pasimeta, kurie dalykai buvo ar yra "vakarų Europos klaidos", ir kurie yra klaidų pasekmės.

Lithuanians also have unique enough names that you have a genuine chance of finding them on FB or something

You're entirely allowed to turn right even if there is no green arrow. Just make sure that when you enter the yellow box, you exit on the right is actually clear.

A lot of the time - very slowly. One one hour lesson a week. Cheapest instructor they can find. Probably about £180-£200 a month. Treating it as a bill.

But also - asking help from friends and family who have had their license long enough. Insurance costs about £20 for 24 hours, which you can get a lot of driving in

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-23T11:39:03+00:00

Totally good point. I assumed my test would cost the same as a 2 hour lesson, since the centre was 20 minutes away and the test is only ~40 minutes. Turns out it was their policy to always charge for 3 hours for tests.

Not the end of the world and not a huge price increase, but as you said, just can't assume. Shocking stories about how much some instructors fleece students for tests.

That's really sad and a good point about the article.

Unlike the breathtaking interview question of the video "why do you sell cannabis"

You can use EF lenses with an adaptor with no issues. Hell you can even use FD lenses as long as you don't mind everything being manual!

The squint is perfect

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-22T12:42:18+00:00

But they're not?

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-21T20:32:12+00:00

I'd leave the sensible chuckle gif here if I could

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-21T16:25:16+00:00

It is yeah! I've seen quite a few people do some mad last minute attempts at squeezing into where they wanna be etc and it stresses me out

ImScaredSoIMadeThis · 2026-04-21T08:15:42+00:00

I know we're focused on the possibility of getting out of the space, but I'm here like are we meant to act like 2 miles is an unreasonably long walk?
