The canonical way to get loads to follow on mastodon is follow @lisamelton@mastodon.social - she's basically a human version of the algorithm, and will fill your timeline with boosts.

Yes that's a risk, but would you rather have a broken window or be caught in a burning car? More important it still works after a power failure.

Yeah that's more of a problem that people tend to use the emergency release because it's a physical handle and seems familiar. The manual used to even warn against using it (it didn't drop the side window, risking damage.. I think that was fixed a while ago though).

Like the ones on the 3 and Y that are literally the first things the people go for if you haven't told them where the open button is..

I mean, if you're functionally blind, you could argue they're hidden..

The russians are actually pretty good at space.. although a lot of that was due to koralev inventing most of what they use.. soyuz has been extremely successful. So I have no doubt they can get to the moon.. hopefully next time at a speed that doesn't pancake the ship..

They can't even say that.. law trumps contract. I had to look that up for vancouver, but..

"employers in B.C. cannot dismiss, suspend, demote, discipline or harass an employee who:

  • Asks their employer about their pay
  • Reveals their pay to another employee or someone applying to work with their employer
  • Asks the employer about its pay transparency report
  • Gives information to the Director of Pay Transparency about their employer"

Ypu missed 'the update breaks your machine, and you lose a day reinstalling everything'

(because I bet a gaming machine doesn't use something like snapshots to roll back before the damage).

It doesn't even look good when they do that.. it looks like they couldn't be bothered.

I had a phone like that for under a week, sent it back. It was so uncomfortable to hold.

It's expensive to add and the cost is per room.. plus portable isn't that bad for the couple of weeks of actual warm weather.

I can't even have portable as I have no opening windows in the main room.. would have to fix that first. Luckily insulation works both ways and it doesn't really get that hot in here yet.

BBC R&D is a special case.. they're specifically there to try out new stuff. It isn't always reflected in the rest of the company. They implemented ipv6 years ago for example, but the main bbc website remains ipv4 only.

Even when I had a 10 year old Peugeot it was about £200.

You routinely hear of people paying 2k+ these days.. I'd seriously think about selling the car at that point.

The average cost of insurance is £478 (or maybe was, not sure how old that statistic is). £69 is an ebike, not a car..

They're all at it.. although Admiral were by far the cheapest for me, giving me a renewal price of £500 compared to >£1k from just about everyone else.
