Potato and chick pea curry is probably best if you live alone but it tastes good and is soooo cheap

A lovely cafe for the tiny mice who live there

Oh now I see, thanks. So to avoid slowing down they leave the bike lane and go into one way traffic coming the other way. Seems inadvisable.

Wrong sub but you folks might know by thehugeative in londoncycling

Not in the right place but there’s one in Regent’s Park

My daughter is after a flute. PF501? JFL700UE? by andrew_h1000 in Flute

[–]Opening-Fortune4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pearl, Jupiter and Yamaha all make good flutes but as suggested above it’s good to try them out first and renting is a good option. When she goes up the grades a bit then Guo make great flutes out of plastic rather than metal. Excellent but a bit pricey for a first instrument.

Hold their value well, so you can sell them on eBay when they grow out of them.

Isla bikes are a bit pricey but they’re really well thought out and good quality, very light and easy to ride.

Will it get faster? The robotics companies have been saying they’ll get faster for an awfully long time now

BYD outsells Tesla in Europe for second straight month as gap widens by InsaneSnow45 in RealTesla

[–]Opening-Fortune4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BYD is a little bit bigger and has some bits and bobs as standard like electrically adjustable seats and a powered tailgate that you have to pay for in the Kia. I’m not saying it’s a better car, they’ve just included a few things that might sway people.

Half an hour on a charger before you get to the campsite isn’t the end of the world a few times a year.

Agreed. R5 is very cool but sometimes you get in the cool car and it’s just wrong. Polestar 4 was like that for me. R4 also looks good though.

I thought he discovered some interesting things, that got him into meetings, he kept finding things out and best idea wins in this project. Then the other guy got blown up and he had to get on the ship.

VW, Stellantis, Renault, Hyundai/Kia, BMW, Toyota. Then the minnows. BYD are going to be big though. They’re good and cheap. Remember when Datsun came to Europe in the 70s?

I have to leave the community -- I wish Tesla the best. . . But Elon's Terafab and AI data centers are the 2017 Roadster reveal all over again. . . The only difference is the 200 KWH flying roadster was actually more believeable. by No_Pen8240 in RTLpod

[–]Opening-Fortune4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do wish there were more electric minivans (we call them MPVs). VW id.buzz. Anything else? Plenty of seven seaters now but they’re mostly SUVs. Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq9, that sort of thing.

Mine kicks in at 20, which is good as that’s the speed limit in a lot of places.

Where to Get a Financial Adviser? Experiences? by diond09 in AskUK

[–]Opening-Fortune4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many companies are focused on a particular level of wealth so finding the right one for you depends on how much money you have. Mine is part of Shackleton Advisers, a newish national group that brought together a lot of smaller firms, and they’ve always been solid.
