In that case, enjoy some more buttons, and the utter alienness of Bang and Olufsen’s UI conventions. The button with the red dot is power off, not record. Fast forward and rewind are ADVANCE and RETURN. I frequently forget how to operate it

extremely funny way that I have just bikesticked myself: somehow managed to crash the control panel on my stereo system, the radio is on, the display lights up, but it won’t respond to any control inputs.

the funniest bit? this isn’t some modern smart device, it’s from the 1980s.

Just watched my 18-year-old cat come careening into the living room at a great rate of knots, claw maniacally at one of my stereo speakers, then scamper away and run headlong into the sofa.

I love my elderly doofus son.

No, though you do get a LOT of wheelbase change under load. It’s arranged so that the trailing arms pivot on the same axis, and the torsion bars both twist *and* bend. It’s an extremely neatly packaged setup, makes for a huge trunk.

asymptotically approaching it haha. it's also going to need a bit more welding than I was reckoning on, but the whole idea behind that project was that it'd be a good way to learn my way around an Extremely Hot Glue Gun anyway. Might buy myself a MIG welder for christmas...
