@vriska No 2nd prize Amigo

@feld @tomey I had a Skoda back in England that ever time it rained the power steering pump belt slipped and I had no power steering. I just with it.

@feld @tomey A lot of this isn't about Tesla though, or TVs, it's about the owner.

@feld @tomey A neighbor has one of those. He calls it 'Battle Pig'.

@feld @tomey Having an EV plugged in and guarding battery temps etc is just normal now isn't it? Has been since they became common.

@feld @tomey Oil and coolant change viscosity, there's no way around it.

@feld @tomey 7F this morning and my petrol car showed normal temperatures and pressures, but it was kind of..weird. Didn't like it. That's not even especially low. I think the coolant got up to temperature long before the block and heating block did.

@vriska Worst Sophie B. Hawkins song ever

@ParadeGrotesque Maybe we could work on a crab boat

I really need to be on a beach somewhere

For some reason the cartoon strip Charlie Brooker used to do for PC Zone just popped into my head. I remember The Wombles rendered in the quake engine, but they were called 'Tobergory' and 'Horinoco'. I think the Spice Girls were in there somewhere.

I have an old Dell tower that sits on my desk that I potter about with. There was a scheduled power outage a week ago and It did not come back up. Worse still the CMOS reset back to factory (dead Battery I guess) and reset the SATA mode to 'raid' which is a weird Dell thing. Anyway that's the story of why my toy box wouldn't boot this morning.

I had to wait for the Amtrak to pass to cross the rails to my office this morning. They are now running Siemens blue orange and yellow locomotives, giving me a weird flashback to South West Trains back home.

@HebrideanHecate Yep. You get absolutely screwed.

@HebrideanHecate Bus riders think the world is the same everywhere. It's exactly the same here.

Ann Bradshaw was very much the face of Williams Grand Prix Engineering throughout the 90s. It's great to see a piece on her.

@c0debabe Thank you ❤️

@HebrideanHecate I don't know how people on lower income brackets do it.
