If the driver wasn’t expecting it to stop, then they weren’t paying enough attention to the road in front of them

And that hot coffee will be all over the place. Tough.

Was going to ask the same question - cruise control is for open roads like motorways. Not around town. No wonder they had issues with it.

So they're not looking for eddies in the space-time continuum then?

Exactly. All those 'extra milky' cappucinos.

Scum people deserve scum service.*

  • Note that I said service, not staff. If someone is willing to clean your shitty toilet, you need to pay them decently.

Of course they are. As the article.rightly point out, electric vans are too expensive, and charging infrastructure just isn't there yet. Because the government wanted it all on the cheap and didn't have a plan.

There will also be a small diehard faction that think it's not 'manly'. The sort of people you get (in the states they have guns as well) with their overcompensating enormous pickups.

I've just thought of another benefit of electric vehicles, no more drive offs with a tank of fuel at filling stations.

On mobile and it auto corrects.

I'm so sorry that I spoiled your day because of my slack approach to social media. I'll give myself one hundred lashes with a herring.

Goodbye!

Over $4 million for a bloody car? And people wonder why the world is going to shit. It's because there are fucking oxygen thieves that can afford things like this.

Nobody needs to have one of these.

That's good to hear. I may stick with it then and see.

Sadly it will be a long time before that happens. I wouldn't mind betting China an Russia keep it unavailable for some of the smaller countries that have fallen under their influence.

Am liking Vivaldi, but along with WereCat, I have no use for it's email section.

Am concerned that when Google does it's thing, Vivaldi will break. Is there any danger of that happening?

UK here - 1 or 2 a week on my home phone which we never use and not many people have the number anyway. I have BT's 'Call Protect' which is supposed to let you block nuisance calls but it's such a pain to use - takes too many clicks and menu changes. On Android I just select last number and block.
Hardly any spam calls on mobile as built in software (forget the name) on my S23 automatically warns me of possible spam or blocks them completely.

Much better than it was 10 years ago - that was a nightmare.

Looks like a Daisy to me :-)
