Yeah that's why I said "in my experience"; I'm aware other places would have different names and was only speaking for my area, of which I'm unaware of its bounds. It's likely just the UK but don't know if the same kind of logic is used for other English speaking Europeans or not (when speaking English and not the native language of their region anyway).

Fizzy drinks, pop.

Soda is used to describe specifically soda water alone. At least in my experience

Kind of like how cookies are a type of biscuit rather than the name used for all biscuits.

I thought this was about dance dance Revolution at first?

I think because of if how numerals are made, I think it would just be read as two numbers next to each other right?

IV X

4 10

I mean like if you saw this on genuine Roman writing or whatever

Three pillows. One thicker one leaned up against the headboard at a very slight angle, almost vertical. Then two thinner pillows, first one at what would be a 45 degree angle overlapping the thick pillow, then the final one overlapping that one.

Only way I have been able to find comfort in pillows in the last 5 years or so

I also think the boss knows too. He gives him a few looks that make it look like he knows something

That would be XLI

What's that Roman numeral meant to be?

There actually is a massive speed difference between data on the cartridges and on the sd card. Games on cartridge actually load like 3-4x slower. Which is crazy.

Ooo ill have to remember to take a pic of any cool benches i see now

I moved to DDG because I felt Google results were getting worse. You would search for something specific and instead just get varying degrees of the same article on different sites about it instead.

Then I felt DDG was getting worse in just not always getting what was related, so I've moved to qwant.

Other than not always getting geo-related results, the results have been the best I've seen in a while so I've stuck around for now.

Touch screen cast would be awesome too. I'd love for there to either be that or an open android auto/car play standard. The former would probably be easier and I imagine some aftermarket head units have that functionality already.

I've actually wanted to DIY a head unit at some point and getting a good satnav experience on it would be key to it being a daily DRIVER.

It's just good in those moments where things have fucked up for some reason and you can either quickly stop at the side and easily deal with it on the head unit or if there's no traffic around you can slow down and touch the buttons you need to bit by bit while keeping an eye on the road. Or, even better, if you have a co-driver they can sort it for you on a screen that both you and them are able to deal with.

Built in gps is a bit shit now and my current car actually doesn't have one unless i buy an overpriced encrypted sd card with the map data that if i want to update the maps for, have to buy again.

Phones and their map apps allow me to have up to date mapping that also show where there's roadworks and closures so i can be rerouted elsewhere which is a godsend when you're in a town or city you're not familiar with.

Edit: built in now may not be shitter than it was but it is shitter than the new alternatives via android auto (i also don't use Google maps by the way)

It became so convenient and essential for me like 8 years ago. When I leave the house I only need my tiny phone and my house key (and sometimes my car key) and that's it. That's nice. I don't want to have to carry more on top of what I already do.

I'm 31 and would need those things. Makes driving a car how I want much easier. No awkward looking mounts anywhere. Plus I use a super tiny android phone at the moment so instead of looking at a postage stamp for a map I get to look at the big head unit.

Wouldn't it be pronounced like fury not furry?

You can't choose a specific playlist or album over Bluetooth via the head unit is what they were saying. And with the maps some people don't like to have the voice on and prefer to actually be able to glance at a map when needed, on the head unit.

Fairphone is too big, i don't want a phablet in my pocket

If it's any consolation, i switched
