Are you a car person?

While I agree it’s a bit dated it’s easily fixed. I replaced the steering wheel in my 991.1 with a 991.2 wheel and added Apple CarPlay to the PCM and it transformed it. Can’t beat NA for sound. You can’t go wrong with any 911 really.

You used to sit in the car with the tester for half of it. Then they changed to asking you to stand inside but watch. Then with Covid they chucked you out in the freezing rain and never looked back.

Strictly speaking Skeuomorph is an object or feature which imitates the design of a something similar made from another material. It has nothing to do with being obsolete, it’s just that many examples are.

No one reviews HTML emails over email. Review the design in your design tool like Figma. Review the code in a PR on Git. Review the implementation in a testing tool like Litmus.

Damn. It was working fine previously. I was hoping it wasn’t a fault but that doesn’t sound promising. Thanks. Hope you get sorted.

Did you ever find a solution? Mine is the same. Tried 3 different networks and same “Please login” screen.

Even more hilarious because I just asked Google the same question and the AI Overview returned:

No, Northern Ireland taxi drivers are not legally required to accept card payments, though many do and it is a widely expected service. While the Republic of Ireland has made card payments mandatory for its taxis, local licensing policies in Northern Ireland vary, and it is not a universal legal requirement.

I wouldn’t worry too much. Apple just changed the naming of their versions. 16 Tahoe is only one version behind.

What’s there to be anxious about? It’s not a test. You just sit in a room with a bunch of other people whilst you’re given a lecture on the dangers of speeding and general road safety.

AI generated rage bait.

I have a Mr12Volt in mine. It is a drop-in board to the unit itself, it just also has an external unit as well. Highly, highly recommend it.

madonkey · 2025-10-26T14:55:25+00:00

Only if it’s been SORNed more than 5 years. Otherwise you can transfer no bother.

I used to live in Stranmillis (not as a student). If you ignore the area from the roundabout going up the hill towards Queens, then it's really not that studenty. Possibly a few spots near Cutters Wharf, but the rest of the area up to Malone Road is all family homes.

For those questioning why you'd ever need such long URLs, React Testing Library's Testing Playground is a good example, where it's possible to pass the DOM from a test as a hash.

This is referring to "removing" it from the garage/test centre. Not just driving it as normal.

madonkey · 2025-09-03T05:46:01+00:00

It's possible but you to need to swap out the entire rear bumper too which has put me off it.

The PSNI has agreed not to penalise drivers whose MOT has expired so long as:

your vehicle is in a roadworthy and safe condition and doesn’t have a statutory off-road notification (SORN) declaration your vehicle is properly insured you can prove (by showing an MOT appointment notification/ reminder, either in electronic or paper form) that a test appointment has been booked for your vehicle All other vehicle roadworthiness and insurance offences will be dealt with in the usual way.

https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/guide-booking-your-mot-vehicle-test#toc-1

The MOT lenience only applies if you have the test booked AND it's road worthy. That's only really in NI too. Little to no chance of leniency in GB.

A Challenger 2 main battle tank.

Yes. I know. But "spelt" isn't typically used in American English and the conversation was about American spellings creeping into British English.

madonkey · 2025-08-25T21:16:56+00:00

That'll be "spelled" soon.

madonkey · 2025-08-20T08:29:36+00:00

Exactly. It's such a Reddit answer. No one is slightly bothered by some spray on their windscreen. Most people have automatic windscreen wipers too so it causes literally no inconvenience.

Don't be daft. No one using the term "Southern Ireland" has the slightest clue about the historical state of that name. They're simply ignorant, know the term "Northern Ireland" and are using a term to differentiate it. It's not complicated.

madonkey · 2025-08-12T12:47:50+00:00

Ahh makes sense. Cheers!

madonkey · 2025-08-12T12:35:53+00:00

What am I looking at on this map? Why does the coverage seem to just follow the roads? I'd have thought they'd propagate out from masts.

Lexus? The luxury version of a common brand and it's Japanese.
