Yeah. I mean, in the end, they're the least worst out of the three, which is really saying something

I mean, Hamas is hardly the smartest bunch of people on the planet and I am definitely not of the opinion that Hamas equals Palestinians.

Peter Anderson @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social · 4h

No, we're absolutely not. Even if one of these people is sincere, there is every chance the other will wreck it or Hamas will do something stupid.

As naive as this sounds, I hope the Gaza invasion and occupation is actually over and Trump is at least partially responsible for One Good Thing.

....aaand of course, we can't trust him, the US or Netanyahu as far as we can spit them, so my naivety is, naturally, monumental

Oof. Yeah, the Euros had that stuff as mandatory way before anyone else. Renaultsport Clio was my first SC car I think. 2002 model? Something like that. Number one son’s first car was an up! that also had forward AEB

Easily. Stability control is the real killer app, you can do the dumbest things on corner entry and mid corner and it just goes, "All good, I got you."

That's been my whole career in tech, clocking up 27 years this year...so can't all be bad...

Equally, I don't think folks have any idea just how powerful those systems are and how capable they are at saving you from yourself.

My cat has gone for a wander, I was calling out for him when I received a text message and for a brief moment I genuinely expected it to be him messaging me

An E87 3.0-litre straight six with a supercharger? Sure, why not?

Years ago I owned a manual 130i and got 9L/100km in traffic. So it’s doable. And if you’re currently in a RAM, a V10 M5 uses less…as will a V8 E90 M3.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau is exactly the kind of nonsense you'd expect from both of them.

I think it’s covered under thou shalt not covet. I think BMW specifics are buried in Deuteronomy.

Peter Anderson @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social · 1d

The real secret sin is the lustful thoughts over E87s with six-cylinders and an aftermarket supercharger

You are very kind too. Right back at you.

There you go. Crompton was a fan of it from memory and I don’t think he’s a Christian. Some people just like the tradition or idea of it. But I don’t know enough about Betty apart from saying she has never struck me as one.

Peter Anderson @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social · 1d

I’d never heard of her having any leanings that way. I don’t pay that much attention to her, so maybe that’s why

You’re very kind. I wish that was my only flaw.

Peter Anderson @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social · 1d

Good for him. I am incapable of staying upright on two wheels so he’s a long way ahead just for that.

Peter Anderson @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t think she is. I am though.
