Like day 2 roadkill in the summer, right?

Mike Row Soft, fast and funny!

You should come and visit Spain, much more high speed rail and a similar quantity of seafood ;-)

Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.

They are well handy, it’s a shame.

A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want … I’m in Spain, there’s a few about. They’re basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

I grew up in a dairy farming community, drowning in slurry pits was the way to go there. Scared me witless as a kid.

Pfft, no!

OS/2 Warp

Detroit: Become Human.

The demo gives you one level, playing as an android helper to the police, helping to solve a murder.

The full game really took me through the looking glass in terms of empathy. Can’t really say more without significant spoilers.

This may be “old man yells at cloud” energy, but my first reaction was just a broad negative “urgh.”

I’m 46, the parts of my life where I haven’t needed to use a car every day have been great for my physical and mental health … now I live too far from work I use a little 125 motorbike to commute, and it’s still much nicer than having to take a car. When I am forced to take a car, the one I have is small and economical.

I didn’t start figuring this out until I was 30, maybe you need a few more years to mature enough to throw off the consumerist mindset?

At 85 years old my Mum can’t drive or walk, she does her own shopping with an electric mobility scooter and occasionally needs the help of others … that works fine for her because she lives in what might be called a “15 minute city” these days.

Just walk in to the local shop on your way to/from wherever else you’re going (or just to get out of the house for two minutes if you’ve been working from home) … that way you can have fresh ingredients every day, and you’re walking a bit regularly so you don’t get overweight easily

Fantastic!

I personally own an old pre-smartphone accelerometer with a built-in acceleration calculator (and what is now considered retro LED display) that pretty much works on the same principle, a free-moving arm is attached to a potentiometer to measure the angle accurately (though that only works in one direction).

The accelerometers we use for crash testing use two little crystals rubbing together, they can pick up changes as little as 0.1G but also remain accurate up to 2000G.

They assume all windows users only have one hand free at all times

Automotive testing engineer here, please tell me about your accelerometer!

Wierdo.

I would too.

Both, just a menacing ball of limbs and other bits

Ah ok, I was just trying to be snarky ;-)

Nah, they’ll just get started on the next FF game

You could have a story where a mad scientist Sith goes around collecting them and then stitches them all together to create a force-sensitive limb-ball of terror
