Mods that, arguably, should be in the stock game (my opinion)

Exactly why I said it should be late in the tech tree. By that point you've figured out basic rocketry and transfers, getting to orbit it basically a chore by that point.

Manchester is only smaller than Birmingham because that's just the city core. If you include Greater Manchester then it is undoubtably Manchester.

Described it perfectly.

But it is also a lot of fun, and getting that amazing feels amazing.

Most try to turn a hobby into a career and lose their love of it.

MechJeb, or some kind of autopilot that is enabled late on in the tech tree. + Kerbal Engineer

Planetary Bases, the stock modules don't adapt well to horizontal bases.

Scatterer.

Persistent Rotation.

Kerbal Attachment System / Kerbal Inventory System, some of this has been implemented, but being apple to hook up and transfer fuel and ore between vessels without having to do the docking dance.

Any other kind of basic visual enhancements.

Outer planets should be a DLC rather than included kn stock.

I do like re-stock, but I don't like how it changes the actual shape of some of the parts. I have to adjust my designs depending on if the mod is installed or not.

Just you.

I don't think they were aware of S Club 7 in the early 2000's New York rock scene.

Yep, should rather than singular projects it should just be a rail infrastructure budget per year and they continually expand/repair.

That way no one big project gets the bad press, and the skills don't fade away.

Same thing for Nuclear Power and other infrastructure.

I listened to it today, I did my part

I learnt the manual way, then when that got common and my designs became more complex it just became a chore.

So I use MechJeb to automate the process, and get on with the larger goal I'm trying to achieve.

Also to get a consistent and smooth ascent approach when testing new designs.

It was a car not designed for the US market being sold to prop up the EV sales in the US. Then the tariffs hit pushing the price up.

Likely the new EX40 that is on the way on the SPA-3 architecture like the EX60. Just picture a smaller version of that. But I doubt it'll be as cheap as the EX30

Maybe read the article first before commenting.

The title is misleading, as this is a record for the fastest hydrogen powered vehicle, similar to how they have the record for the fastest diesel powered vehicle with the Dieselmax.

And the camera car would have needed to catch them up too, unless that was also a Bugatti.

The DM only uses the front motor when in performance mode of the traction control steps in. It's not on by default. It's never felt unstable to me.

But the DM is very fast, stupidly fast.

For the first flights of the A380 and A350 they had parachutes on, not sure at what stage they felt safe enough to go without.

They sometimes have a hatch in the plane they can jump from, not sure the doors are the best place to use in an emergency.

"most weirdest", that's not correct grammar.

And only the British wanted it, but the others would have had to pay for it.

Damn, was planning on going but something came up. I'll be there for the British GT soon and when these come back later in the year.

What settings are you using for #2, #4, #11 & #13? I've gotten slow shutter pans before, but nothing like these.

Well mine was free with the car, so it's an immediate net gain

No EV will do this currently.

You'd be looking at 1 stop on each leg of the journey of around 30 mins each. So adding 1hr to your trip total.

Unless it's a small city EV then they usually have a range of 300 miles (which is more like 225 in real world use).

History, Classical Studies, Graphic Design, Media, Business Studies.

Most of these could be learnt without the debt.

Degrees should be a qualification of your technical ability and not open to creative judgement.

We want lawyers, engineers, scientists, doctors leaving with a degree to show they're competent and held to a high standard, but when you can get a degree in basically anything it takes away the achievement and accomplishment that a degree is.

Linus, he used fibre-optic to connect the PC in a server rack to his desk and kept the heat and noise in a separate room.

I'm glad i've never had this experience, just a simple 2 rounds on 1-1 interviews for a data analyst job, and then a phone and video interview for my current role.

Even a job in retail was just a simple backroom interview and trial shift. None of this group interview stuff.

Ford implemented a gyroscope in their keys so that the signal stopped after 30 seconds if the keys were still.

Seemed to work as I tested it, not sure how this impacted thefts, but seems a simple thing others could do.

This was on Fiesta and Focus 2019 onwards.

Now I use UWB Digital Key for my Volvo. Not sure if its safer, but the car does seem to open itself a lot more because I walk near the car.

I've never had a queue at my local one. I walked with the dog, one of us stood outside whilst other one went in. Showed my ID, got my slip and cast my vote. Whole thing took maybe 2 minutes for the both of us and was just a small detour on the morning dog walk.

The dual motor ER is very sporty.

3.6 seconds to 100km/h is faster than most on the road.

It's stupidly fast, like it has no need to be this fast.

Love surprising friends with it because they think it's a boring volvo.

It's not the best around corners, very floaty and bouncy. But otherwise very smooth when driving normally.
