For example, fine rain falls. visibility is reduced. What you should definitely *not* do is put your full beams on. Which they all do. Congrats. now you see even worse, and opposing traffic is totally blind.

Drivers here often respond to inclement weather with a technique I like to call "losing their fucking minds"

I'm curious if the traffic signal that fell down near work was the tornado yesterday, or a man made phenomenon with 4 wheels. I may go and look at lunch.

@tayfonay Hope the trip goes well!

Something has changed with the handling of Bluetooth peripherals in Sequoia 15.1.1 When coming back from standby there's quite a delay before the Magic Mouse wakes up.

@kibcol1049 It surprised me how quickly the old Chunnel terminal looked really bad, but I don't think they every cleaned it. The blue paint on the steel structure faded really badly too. It looked like shit the last time I was there.

@dick_turpin Ha! C'est la vie!

@tayfonay As long as they can make enough power to outclimb the air they're in moving downwards they're good...

@tayfonay Now *that* is scary. Detection has got a lot better but it's still a very scary thing.

@tayfonay If the airport is so equipped (and the plane!), this height can be zero to allow full autoland onto the runway in zero vis

@tayfonay Oh God! Each runway (approach, to use the right word) has its own 'decision height/minimums' i.e the height above ground by which if you cannot see runway lights you have to carry out a missed approach. Some push this a little, which is maybe what they were referring to.

@jerry That's what I thought. So they're just being gits.

@jerry Is this on everything, or just Chinese imports?

@tayfonay I guess for Bermuda an alternate would be going back, which is quite rare.

@tayfonay I had a similar experience at Krakow many years ago. Heavy fog and I think we did it on the third try. If that didn't work the alternate was Poznan which was miles away (for me) and I was glad I didn't have to worry about it.

@HebrideanHecate They're trying that here. Make the fucking things affordable if you want to force people to have them.

@tayfonay It can be frightening, but take some peace in the fact it's all planned for.
