This is just to avoid people feeling like they're being short changed by reductions in engine size to improve fuel economy figures. See also a BMW M135i with a 2 litre engine. The numbers are now meaningless (apart from bigger is better), so why not use some random metric like acceleration g force 🤣

Who specced that two-tone? That is horrible.

I used an Elise daily for 4 years and 36k miles, most of that top down. I even tried the snow once, but it didn't go well on AD07s and I gave up after a couple of miles and went home. Not much snow here, so it wasn't worth the extra set of wheels.

The freshly smoked chillis are now chilli powder (the dark powder). The light powder is umsmoked made from a jar of existing dried chillies I had. The sauce is adobo from some previously smoked chillies.

From left to right: a jar of smoked chilli powder, a jar of plain chilli powder and a jar of adobo sauce.

A relative is looking at a finance internship in Australia. I had a look at the company, they have a London and a Dublin office. Internships advertised: London 1, Dublin 6.

Got the ripe chillies off before the frosts start. Smoking these with hickory and then making chilli powder once they're fully dry.

Freshly harvested chillies in the smoker to dry them with smoke and then make chilli powder.

Telling you not to talk about politics is trying to suppress free speech.

What's your use case? Seems to have a big battery and fast enough charging. Do you get overnight charge deals in the US? That makes it super cheap to run over here and there's practically nothing to service on a full EV.

There's a mix in all countries in the UK, no?

I think so.

He's not pleasing anyone, hence the disasterous polling for both Labour and KS personally.

Did federal prosecutors miss the mass corruption and insider trading in the US govt because they were too busy trying to clean up sports betting?

Shytehawk is the perfect word to describe Johnson.

Longer term, the danger for the Greens is going to be entryism from the Corbynte left and preventing a left of centre civil war. Success is going to bring Polanski a lot of problems to deal with!

Eoin @eoini3s.bsky.social · 5d

Corbyn is yesterday's answer to the problem. Rooted in the old Labour left, with all of the baggage that entails, he has failed to present a coherent alternative to RW populism. So far, Polanski has succeeded in out manoeuvring both Corbyn and Starmer.

What has been missing is the willingness of UK politicians to speak up clearly for the EU. In practical terms and also in sovereignty terms - that pooled sovereignty in the EU is stronger and doesn't erode our National identity as Britons in Europe.

Sovereignty is abstract to most people, just a feeling. Harnessed by VL to get what they wanted by claiming that we could have complete sovereignty without losing anything. In the end, people are practical - they want a better economy, better opportunities and better public services.

They have a hard and fast policy directly at odds with their own stated aim of economic growth and better public services, yet they continue with the madness.

The stupidity of the manifesto pledge and following absolute statements that neither SM or CU will happen under Labour really is amazing. Now Labour is owning up to the economic cost of Brexit (not completely, but at least there is some admission of failure), they are stuck.

I agree completely.

A recent Trade Panel govt survey I completed specifically asked about costs related to red tape, so the govt has all the information to know that brexit is ruinously expensive for the country, before considering other costs.
