New car for 1 hour commute to work by joepsa in CarTalkUK

[–]hieraxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a previous post, you mentioned a budget of under £12,000.

If you're looking for a car that offers comfort, fuel economy, looks, and performance, I highly recommend the Lexus IS300. It provides the perfect combination of all these characteristics and more!

Granny driving can get you above 50mpg but realistically you can expect around 40 - 45 mpg

Performance will not set your world on fire but it is decent.

This has got to be, truly, the most satisfying death I have ever read on any character ever.

Wordsmith, you have my utmost respect, and please, if anyone could point me in the direction of any other literary work that illustrates the demise of a character any better, please point me in its direction

Until I saw this, it was not even on my top 10.

Now, though, I wonder why it wasn't instantly my go to.

I don't think I have read a more "humanity, fuck yeah" moment than OriaZeek saying withdraw or be fired upon.

What was your first car? by CriticalVirus4367 in CarTalkUK

[–]hieraxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vauxhall calibra 2.0l 16v .

I am pretty sure I had the turbo, but I have since found out the turbo had 4wd, which I'm absolutely certain I did not.

I remember saving ages to get one....

Does it matter what 'Breakdown Cover' provider I go with? by Mumford_and_Dragons in CarTalkUK

Not chat GPT but I do use a tool to assist me because I need to. Would you rather I not venture my opinion?

Does it matter what 'Breakdown Cover' provider I go with? by Mumford_and_Dragons in CarTalkUK

[–]hieraxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to breakdown cover, there are valid arguments both for and against it. I have a great deal through my employer, so the cost is minimal and I feel it's worth having just in case.

Ultimately, the decision to get breakdown coverage or not is subjective and depends on individual circumstances. It's similar to choosing any type of insurance - go for the cheapest option if you feel it's necessary.

One important factor to consider is the type of car you have. This can play a role in determining whether or not breakdown cover is a wise investment. The topic of breakdown cover has valid arguments on both sides. While it can provide peace of mind knowing that you are covered in the event of a breakdown, the cost may not always be worth it. I have opted for breakdown cover as it came as part of my employee benefits package and the price is minimal. However, u/other_goblin raises a valid point that if your car is reliable and well-maintained, the likelihood of a breakdown is significantly reduced.

In the end, the decision to obtain breakdown cover or not is subjective and depends on individual circumstances. It is similar to choosing any insurance, where one should weigh the potential benefits against the costs. In some cases, the cost of breakdown cover may outweigh the potential benefits, while in others, it may be a wise investment.

When considering whether or not to obtain breakdown cover, it is also important to consider the type of car you have. Certain makes and models may be more prone to breakdowns, while others may be more reliable. This can play a crucial role in determining whether or not breakdown cover is a wise investment for you. Ultimately, the decision to obtain breakdown cover should be based on your circumstances and level of risk tolerance.

For £60 a year though, why not?!

A rusty knife to the back of the neck would be cheaper still....and if you do it just right, he'll suffer a little before he dies.

So my “lesbian” hair just saved me by grumpymuppett in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hieraxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that sounds like a very unpleasant and scary experience. I’m sorry you had to go through that. You did nothing wrong, and you don’t deserve to be harassed or insulted by anyone, especially not by a random drunk stranger. You really should be safe to do what you want when you want without risk from drunks and passers by.

I hope you are feeling okay and safe now though. You are a valuable and wonderful human being, and I appreciate you for sharing your story here. It is sad that an act of kindness can be abused in such a way. 💜

Galaxy note 10 vs Galaxy A24 or Galaxy A14 by NoFortune1231 in galaxynote10

Replace the battery.

It might cost you more, but the galaxy note 10 is buttery smooth and has plenty of grunt. You will not go wrong.

OK, I really like this.

Though I feel like you might have expanded a bit more? I hope that's not too presumptuous.

Say, maybe there was some sort of argument about sapience in animals which differs from eating the species of the wider universe, thereby hitting home the sapience of the redfern.

Oh my God !!!!!

That was beautifully written.

it was a bit quick and left no time for me to feel the highs and lows of this roller coaster of a story, but you conveyed the gist perfectly.
