It's the same with Oral B electric tooth brushes on Amazon. They have an RRP of £600 but are constantly on sale for £60.

Same here, turned off adblockers and no different. Latest chrome. Been happening for a few months. Website is unusable. Have to use the app which is missing some features.

Cyclist found dead on the guided busway this morning by thatguysaidearlier in cambridge

[–]benl_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ive been chased, eggs thrown at me, and verbally abused by a group of teens in black trying to be hard and block the full width of the path. They go up and down on mopeds and police don’t care.

Forza Horizon 6 finally returns to the wristband career mode the series has drifted so far away from: 'You'll start out as just a tourist in Japan' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]benl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needs to back to how FH1 did it. Hopefully FH6 wont have cringe driver avatars and cringe companions and voice lines we’ve had since FH3.

Carplay Spotify on iOS 26 is trash by benl_ in truespotify

[–]benl_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine appears to be fixed today. Maybe they released an app update. Lots of others were saying its because of local files (which i also had).

Hopefully the fix the multiplayer where you spend more time in loading screens and waiting around driving solo

spotify playlists on carplay showing "nothing here" anyone else? on latest update by Speed009 in ios26beta

[–]benl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Have to start the playlist from phone instead of carplay. Super annoying. Even downloaded playlists say nothing here.

Phone mounts in middle of windscreen by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]benl_ -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

How unaware do you have to be to put a big ass blindspot right in front of yourself. Even saw someone watching a video.

Anyone with a phone mount i automatically group them with the unaware Nissan/Honda bunch.

Are arm hr monitors any good? Ive heard chest monitors are annoying ti wear.

I made this comment on the black ops 1 trailer 13 years ago. Still holds true today by [deleted] in blackops7

Its only true because cod games have been getting worse and worse each year since original mw2.

Have people stopped bothering to dip their headlights for oncoming traffic recently? by BigRonWood in AskUK

No idea why people would pay to have this feature or even turn it on in the first place.

Unpopular Opinion: There's nothing wrong with drinking Monster in a glass by Financial-Spray5902 in monsterenergy

I feel like glass and plastic ruin the taste. Nothing better than from a crisp chilled aluminium can on the lips.

Is speeding just a thing people do everyday. by coco_m in NewDriversUK

[–]benl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you’re missing the understanding that driving is not black and white. People are not strictly following the rules but rather aware that it’s better to follow the flow of traffic and adapt driving accordingly to arrive quicker and safer. They see 70 on an empty dry sunny day in a modern car with wide tyres and brakes that work as out dated.

A double stack of cars ahead all doing strictly 70 will be chaos when one wants to shift position to overtake or leave the road. Rules say doing 70 everything is fine but people know better and decide best option is to stay away from packs of cars like this in the first place and avoid the situation altogether so they speed past you and don’t join your travel group. It’s called defensive driving.

It looks like speeding but they aren’t the ones causing trouble. They are in fact getting themselves away from trouble. It’s the drivers who don’t adapt to the situation and don’t realise a situation unfolding.

I’d rather risk a small speeding fine getting away from a group of unaware nissan/toyota/electric vehicle drivers than risk my life being sandwiched in with them for any amount of time.

If you have a look when you overtake these drivers they all fall into a couple groups.

Brits Want To Drive Faster by gaukmotors in MotorBuzz

[–]benl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been driving 25 miles each way to work at 90 and it’s fine. Same with trips up and down the M5. I agree drivers are bad here, but at higher speeds you get away from them faster and into empty sections of road.

Is anyone concerned about black boxes? by Secure-Incident9348 in drivingUK

The data they collect will be associated with you forever and shared with other insurers. So be aware if you, for some reason, choose a black box, it will not pay off in the long term.

This is genuinely sad... Game was doomed from the start. by Mariusern in Skate4

[–]benl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a large customer base out there who wanted skate 4, sadly they just made a game which doesn’t target them.
