Aren’t there multiple films that start with this as the end of the world as we know it…

Thanks for pointing that out!!

Amazing!

You bought the car for how ever many tens of thousands, which should be priced in with this sort of thing in mind if they want to offer it as a feature in the first place.

The cost to run the api service is minuscule compared to the size of their overall business.

Maybe I could see it as a valid upsell at time of purchase as a one off upfront fee, so it’s at least up to the buyer from the start. Although I personally do not like that approach, at least you can decide if you like that companies ethics before committing to them with that approach.

Perhaps resale of the vehicle complicates this a little, & might warrant a small transfer fee, but I also dislike that idea.

There’s plenty of options for more local communication technologies that could support this feature without the need of a remote server & ongoing service. But then there’s no lock in & ongoing revenue which nearly all car companies seem to be going for these days, as if they haven’t already been super profitable for many decades before…

And by a 15 year old no less! Keep up the awesome work young one, you’ll go far…

Agree, I forced myself to the end & semi enjoyed them, but it all still left a bad taste in my mouth from the bad start. I found myself hating most of the characters!

At the total opposite end of the spectrum I’ve recently finished watching all the Clone Wars & then Bad Batch series, & thoroughly enjoyed them both. Possibly some of the best SW content, even over a lot of the films.

Did you know the UK is the largest exporter of medicinal cannabis in the world…

Theresa May‘s husband is/was a major shareholder in GW Pharmaceuticals (now Jazz Pharmaceuticals) who is a large exporter of it. Other MP’s past & likely present also benefit from the industry & yet we still have very dated laws on it. Is it in their interest to keep the status quo to keep competition at bay?

I have an 8+ year old colour Brother laser printer still going strong. Only had to replace the black cartridge for the first time the other week, colors all still going strong!

I can leave it unused for months & then just fire it up & print 100 pages with no problems whatsoever.

Wish I had it back in college/uni days when I had no end of problems with various crappy ink jet printers, even smashed one up I got so pissed off with it mucking me about back in the day.

Saying that, I think I’ve seen comments by others saying newer Brother laser jets aren’t as good?

This is the way

Apple cider vinegar (unpasteurised) gang here, love the stuff!

Absolute classic!!

And the first Resident Evil film

You know. It’s good to be reminded what an amazing time it is to be alive right now when you see something like this & really think about what it took to make that photo. Truly amazing!

I will always upvote a Ghibli recommendation!

What the fuck…

Thanks! I’ll check them out.

I watched Midsommar knowing nothing about it at all, boy was that a shock at first & somewhat trippy & uncomfortable (without giving away any spoilers), but it kind of held up on a 2nd watch when I could bring myself to confront it again some time later. Not my usual cup of tea, but am interested in others in the genre now, so will try & check some on this list out…

Have you ever heard the expression “The customer is always right”?…Yeah, well, here I am, the customer.

Is that all? Just the price of doing business for them :/
