High pressure hydrogen is a thing too and regular petrol engines can be converted to run on it. Toyota already did it with an old corolla and a rally Yaris https://mag.toyota.co.uk/restomod-ae86/ https://mag.toyota.co.uk/hydrogen-gr-yaris-showcases-experimental-engine/ so not fully shutting the door but still a big hindrance.
A ticket for 53 in a 50? Either you were using a GPS speedo instead of the mechanical one in the car or you were actually going faster than you thought.
Here in the UK speedometers are required to read fast and all speed cameras have 5mph dead zone to account for errors in the reading so doing 53mph on the speedo wouldn’t even set off a camera. Obviously idk about the US but it seems a bit stupid not to have a system similar to the UK one.
Call me a weeb if you want but my favourite is still the AE86, but honestly I like most 80s/90s cars. I prefer the boxy look over the bubbly 2000s look and most cars after the turn of the century are just bland.
As someone who used to be a delivery driver in the uk the idea of getting a tip for doing a shitty job is bat shit insane, I almost never got tips beyond people telling me to keep the change and even when I did get a tip it was usually £2 for driving about 20 miles to do a delivery.
The absolute highest tip I ever got was £10 for delivering 2 full bags of food to a super rich neighbourhood in about 15 mins because it was the first house on my route. (And that £10 was still less than 10% of the cost of the order.)
That’s the whole reason gold even has value, for 99% of human history it was worthless but people thought it was pretty so it became expensive.
A few weeks ago I commented on one of these posts saying I’d played cyberpunk for so long that I none of my games were interesting and I’d been flicking through stuff like RDR2 and transport fever but wasn’t getting invested.
2 weeks later all I’ve been playing is RDR2, it’s so immersive now that I’ve got a new GPU and I can max out the settings in 4K.
I told my boss that I was going to have to reduce my hours back to weekends only because college was starting back up again which meant I couldn't do week day shifts, so they put me down for two mid week shifts and didn't tell me about them, then they used that as an excuse to fire me.
All I can think of is that Lollipopman joke where Checo says Max needs to up his overtaking game or Helmut will be coming for him.
Tiny takeaway with a rich owner, hires on the spot, cash in hand payments, no contracts and most regular deliveries are to houses that stink of weed. Pretty sure that one would be a front (but it’s a front that does good food)
The one time I slept in a plane for more than an hour was when I wrapped my head in a blanket and had an empty seat next to me to lean on.
It costs about £1.80 per litre to make your own bio diesel in the uk at the moment using supermarket vegetable oil (or even less if you bulk buy) so I don’t see eco fuels being so expensive that it’s unaffordable to anyone who can already afford a car.
At the moment the deer population has to be controlled by humans because otherwise they’ll completely destroy entire forests, when lynx are introduced they’ll prey on the deer so humans don’t have to and the forests can recover.
Attempts to bring lynx back to Scotland, it’ll stabilise the ecosystem for the first time since the Middle Ages
