he/him. I was c_davies on the bird app; an odd little man with a British accent everywhere else. Cat-lover; Michigan-resider; SlashGear writer; car geek; 🌈 I do not 'like' skeets; it's nothing personal it just gives me anxiety.

"The best way to deal with this is to downgrade to the cheaper plan" is probably not the conclusion Google was hoping for.

Truly, we're hurtling into a brave new age of braver newer ages

I've been a big fan of Affinity Photo, but I am wary enough of these "oh, there's no AI in it by default... yet" approaches to think I might stick with the old version 😬

I'm no numbers guy, but it sure is fascinating seeing the Big Tech Companies announce their hefty revenues today, shortly after gnashing their teeth and wailing about how redundancies were a sad price to pay because of dwindling revenues.

I had a blue and silver one many years ago, back in the UK, and while it was a bit leaky and had that dire transmission, I still loved it. There's an EV conversion kit floating around out there...

You are a terrible influence.

tbh the next might have to be a Smart Roadster... 👀

I tried very hard to get my parents to buy one, when the first-gen came out. But they resisted, the fools.

Ha! She had a variety of small Fiats over the years: 500, 600, 126, Uno, Punto, etc.

The temptation to grab a 500 is always there, but I must resist 😂

My mum had one of those, when I was a baby! That red, too. I think its name was Effie.

Polestar 2's sole 12v is in the trunk 🤦‍♂️

Every year I think "I should rear-project a huge set of spooky animated eyes onto the main windows of the house, that'd be fun" and every year I only remember that ambition when there's not enough time to actually do anything about it.

I don't know if this is a threat or a Zen koan

Even an infrared barcode reader!

Chris Davies @cdavies.bsky.social · 7d

Doubly relieved I didn't have space, then 😂

Chris Davies @cdavies.bsky.social · 7d

Go on, tell me... how much did it go for in the end? 👀

Chris Davies @cdavies.bsky.social · 8d

Please check down the back of the couch cushions for any spare trillions, Alex

Chris Davies @cdavies.bsky.social · 8d

Genuinely relieved I don't have the space for this.

Chris Davies @cdavies.bsky.social · 10d

I am, and thank you! I hope you are having fun out in the not-social-media world 🥰

Consider it winging its way over merrily!

In an ideal world I'd have the clever words to encourage the strong, capable, intelligent, talented, and ever-promising people around me to not give up hope, but I don't, so I'll just have to hope that they feel the love and support radiating out of me instead.

Ah, but if you buy a BrightDrop electric van, you get CarPlay/Android Auto. So clearly people should just buy vans, instead.

Is he the dad of dudes or a dad who is a dude this is unclear

"That's Me Trying" is often - though not always - my favorite from that album.
