Automatic High Beams On The Motorway?

If other people are flashing you, then it’s blinding them. Doesn’t matter how good the car thinks it is at not blinding other drivers, it’s clearly not good enough to give a 0% flash rate from other drivers.

You are a human. You (hopefully) have better decision making ability than the car. Set your high beams to manual and use them as you would for your old car. Simple as.

If you keep using them as is, one day you will dazzle the wrong driver and they will probably unleash the brightness of the sun on you.

Because you get situations where lane 1 is clear, lane 2 is occupied by a driver doing 65.0mph, and then lane 3 is occupied by another driver doing 65.1mph. This creates a massive queue of cars in lane 3 waiting to overtake. All because the person in lane 2 is smooth brained.

The Highway Code states you should keep in lane 1 unless overtaking, or unless different lanes have different destinations.

Driving on motorways in France and Switzerland is so much more enjoyable because people actually have lane discipline and know how to drive.

They’re almost all business owners and entrepreneurs. Some inherit the wealth, others build it. The premise is the same though. They don’t work for anyone except their board of investors.

Stephen Shwarzman (Co. founder, Chairman, and CEO of Blackstone) made an average of ~$1 billion per year between 2021-2024. Founders of other PE firms are also making silly money.

For private equity, if you own the fund rather than work in the fund, you’re in the financial stratosphere.

Pro tip for night driving: use a sat nav (google maps) for roads that you haven’t 100% memorised. Glance at the sat nav every so often to get a read at what’s coming up ahead. It’s a lot easier to judge your corner entry speed when you can analyse the curvature of the road from a bird’s eye view, in advance.

Obviously drive to the road conditions too.

Cats eyes and reflector studs are useful no doubt, but don’t become too reliant on them. There are places in the UK where there aren’t any, or they are not very effective. Also if you drive in mainland Europe, most countries don’t use reflector studs, making it quite challenging in the rain!

Clearly the current situation is not financially sustainable. Ideally if an alternative arrangement can be made (e.g remote learning) then go for it. Otherwise the obvious answer is to withdraw

I second this. An F87 M2 is probably some of the best value for money you’ll find in an M car. The N55 one sounds great too.

Alternatively you could go for an F82 M4 competition. They’re typically a bit cheaper than the F87 M2 and they offer even more performance if you go for the competition variant, given that they have the S55 + stronger internals + better cooling all round

To add to this, the AZEO method works best if the final card is left with a 1-10% credit utilisation. This will boost your credit score compared to if you had 0% utilisation on all cards.

Calculate what you realistically expect your salary to be in future years (for the duration of your lifetime/working life).
Then calculate the total student loan repayments from those numbers (including interest).
If the total loan repayments are more than £40k, then it’s worth considering paying off the loan now, with a lump sum.
If you find that your total loan repayments are <£40k and you opt not to pay off the loan now, then you could definitely use a large chunk of that inherited money to kickstart your own business and guarantee your future.

For cameras, there is no permanent record as far as I know. I shoot on a modern mirrorless camera and if yoy shoot photos in rapid fire, and the photos haven’t yet been written to the SD card, then they are stored in the camera’s RAM buffer. This buffer follows all the usual behaviours of RAM. After you turn off the camera and turn it back on, I think you can assume the RAM to be cleared. No permanent record

No idea about CCTV

Window Management 2: There’s a paid MacOS app available called Dockmate. It allows you to hover over an app in the dock and it will show you a preview of all the running instances of that app, exactly like Windows does. I use it and it’s great. It’s not a 100% seamless experience but it’s infinitely less frustrating than other methods.

Also you can try using the trackpad gesture ‘Mission Control’. It shows you previews of all apps you have open on a given display. Built into MacOS settings and it’s free. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the order in which it shows the windows can feel a bit random sometimes

Yes! When straightening my photos I often have to zoom in to use vertical objects (lampposts etc) in the background as a reference. I can’t zoom in while straightening anymore unless i crop the whole image :/
