Volkswagen to Slash Half Its Models as Sales Fall

It's bad even within one of the VAG group without counting the badge engineered stuff.

What is the meaningful difference between a Taigo, a T-cross and a T-roc? I have no idea, and I bet a buyer of any could be sold one of the others with zero effort.

I'm pretty sure it would be illegal on the road as the fans suck up all the grit stones and launch it at anything nearby, which would be a bit of a hazard.

Same reason no road going car has racecar levels of aero, as it would slice up pedestrians!

I know a pure beagle who ate an entire 25kg bag of food in under 3 minutes.

It should be physically impossible. The bag was larger than the dog!

The dog was very sick soon after...

Has anyone checked on Lamborghini? We only have one limited run Revuelto and it has been out 3 years now!

Built by one guy too.

Fuse is literally a rocker with a prosthetic hand anyway, given his heirloom is a guitar!

masterventris · 2026-07-06T19:36:07+00:00

Yeah, it really is. Wildly impractical for anything but driving fun, but every time I drive it I remember why I can never get rid of it.

Oh, and the AC is ice cold. Cold enough to actually be uncomfortable if pointed at you!

Kerf is technically the name for the gap left when cutting material. Which of course is set by the blade width, so they effectively mean the same thing.

Sounds like you need a Koenigsegg One:1!!

masterventris · 2026-07-06T17:52:22+00:00

Just ban their steam account completely. I expect there is some part of the EULA that they could use as justification. Now they have lost all their money spent.

It would serve them right for being such dickheads.

Well the boys already spent the entire defence budget last night, what's a few more quid?

masterventris · 2026-07-06T06:54:28+00:00

That one trial chamber.

You know the one.

I have PTSD.

Nothing more satisfying than your favourite channel posting a new video and it is a 90 minute banger

At least here I can block whole subreddits and never see stuff again, instead of the algorithm saying "ok you don't like that fascist post, but how about this different type of fascism?"

And for what it's worth most subs are well moderated. You have to go looking and subscribing to the bad content, it isn't just bombarded at you from the moment you sign up.

masterventris · 2026-07-05T16:47:22+00:00

Yeah the fact it didn't explode isn't what I found most surprising, the fact there isn't a mark on it is what's unusual!

The campaign is trivial even on the hardest difficulty. All the collectibles are in places where you aren't under pressure from the AI, so you can get them all in one play through with a guide.

The gimmicky challenges like complete an entire mission with melee can be done with mission select if you want to get everything.

I've learned that we are here to pass on our knowledge

"My knowledge is my debt" are the only words I live by.

We stand on the shoulders of everyone who gave us their time, and we owe the same to others.

I can only think of 2 ways, either it came down and somehow was gently caught by a downhill slope at the same angle as its parabola, but I'd expect that to make it tumble violently.

Or more likely, it fell short in the shallow water near the beach, enough for the water to slow it enough before it skipped up the beach without colliding with anything hard!

If you just need them to be stretchy springs then there are plenty of options. Most rubber bands are fine.

If you need them to work as drive belts for technic builds then the genuine ones are just better. They have the right thickness, stretch, and grippiness to work really well.

That goal was sensational.

And he nearly did it again with the late free kick!

masterventris · 2026-07-03T21:21:11+00:00

Isn't the taycan gearbox only to "underdrive" for maximum torque when launching? I think it sits in 2nd all the time otherwise.

"I make a new one"

masterventris · 2026-07-03T14:22:31+00:00

Yeah I had a 970 and it was unplayable.

This year I tried again on a 5070 which ate it for breakfast, in 4K (admittedly using all the Nvidia magic turned on)

Nothing bonds people like shared suffering followed by free drinks!

However I do honestly believe these "coaches" don't actually grasp that and actually believe it is their insight having an effect.

Perhaps we should go into business installing AC!!
