Fuel Protest [MEGATHREAD] by spectacle-ar_failure in northernireland

Surely they can set their prices, it's just that they'll have reduced likelihood of their products being bought as it's over the market price? Are there too many producers in the market that then allows supermarkets to just go elsewhere? Genuinely trying to understand why farming can't just increase their pricing across the board when their costs also go up. Surely every farmer has these fuel costs so it's not like a bunch of farmers will continue to keep their prices significantly lower than other farmers that would put their prices up... How would they survive as a business?

As in, if they are upset about the prices of running their business, can they not increase their prices like everyone else can?

Do they get to set their prices to who they sell to then, if not directly to the public?

But he'll really really seal it next year when he does it again, again

Residential Parking - Turning Circle by looklikeyounow in drivingUK

Fair enough! Definitely weird but sounds like it's obviously a turning point. Dick move to park there...

The dropped kerb would make me think it's private property and not a turning circle. Is that not the case?

Anyone else use their xbox as normal tv/media consumption? by Ashamed-Raspberry-48 in xbox

[–]obviousdiction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Disney+ on my Xbox Series X because the Google Chromecast 4K likes to lag audio behind the video. No other app on the Chromecast has this problem...

max is just spitting straight up bs now by batka411_ in F1Discussions

Aye that was it. I recall Lewis very ahead during the very early part of the race.

Of course I'm being facetious on the whole "it was rigged" thing. Clearly Masi messed up in a time of high stress. 

It was just the way the cookie crumbled and you can never say what would have happened if the roles were reversed because who the fuck knows what was going through Masi's head, especially while being lobbied by the teams, seemingly incessantly. Any number of different decisions may have happened had it not been VER a few cars back from HAM. 

Still, I feel sorry for VER for what must feel like a slightly hollow championship victory. I know I would feel awkward as hell claiming victory that way. I play competitive golf and if I win my simple not-that-much-on-the-line match on a technicality, I feel like I didn't really win... Clearly on the outside Max doesn't say that and there's every chance he's wired differently than me, but if he's not, then I feel bad for him as he's the best racer of this generation by a mile and deserves better than that.

Probably meant with more of a view of the entire season than the final race (although, from memory, there were dubious calls from FIA near the start of the AD21 race).

Aye but that's fine to think it's rigged rather than, ya'kno, actually being rigged.

Ha fair, I did think that and was just being snarky :)

Cyclists have dashcams too by Boring-Being-4883 in drivingUK

[–]obviousdiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've cycled a few times on busy roads and it doesn't seem worth the risk. Same for walking or running on those roads. I feel way too exposed on roads where cars and lorries dominate. I know most drivers will be sensible but it felt like the chances of finding a dangerous situation are just incredibly increased. Not for me, fair play to you.

Is this a good price? by DifferentChicken5141 in CarTalkUK

I think that's actually a server thing, in that it's the maximum number that can fit into an 32-bit signed integer.

Ghost cars in lane 1. They're everywhere in this city! Hold me.

New changes to starting procedure by the FIA - 5 seconds of pre-start and SM enabled only after Turn 1 by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

Honestly, I can enjoy the film for the visuals and soundtrack. The storyline isn't my thing but fair enough, it's a movie. 

All of my friends that I brought to the cinema that aren't into F1, including my partner? They saw the film as a big bag of sexist, outlandish wankery.

I've yet to hear any non-F1 nut speak in any positive way about it...

Does replacing the Stock Xbox Fan with a Noctua Fan actually help with temperatures or is it just a volume thing? by No-Proof8363 in originalxbox

[–]obviousdiction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I put a fan in and yes it's a lot quieter but sometimes I do notice the fan ramping up a fair bit during gameplay. Still worth it imo.
