Bombay Bad Boy

I have one of these so-called 'smart' meters, and it refuses to wear a tie.

Was in Sam Webbs once. Some locals offered me a game of pool, which is fine. Then they started cheating, cos they were losing. Not been in since 😄

There are many experiments on youtube, mythbusters and the like, testing out what happens when you combine phones and petrol, and...not much happens. The issue is social, people on the phones being inattentive instead of focusing on filling up safely. https://youtu.be/VjrkwxMhc4s?si=1o2-d5jxWZpBtsZY&t=199

Walk past it on my way home, it always seems rammed. That's usually a good sign. But then so is 1886 😄

At least being stuck on the boat for 10 hours meant that the Guinness would've settled by then.

You don't have to be 'pulled' to be caught. There are ANPR cameras everywhere now. Also, a UK-reg car has to be taxed to be driven legally on the Island. If buying from a dealer , there's a good chance the sale will be registered, and hence the tax cancelled, there and then. My last car was bought privately, so the first the DVLA would have known about it was when our vehicle licencing told them the car was exported.

Bought a car across, taxed and registered it online to a family members address in the UK, where the V5 was sent (and then forwarded to me) . IoM insurer fine with this, when test done and registered on island, just contacted insurer to change policy to Manx reg. Easy peasy.

Arranged tastefully on a bed of dandelions, and drizzled in jus. That'll be £79 sir.

Also Paul Dedman in Ramsey.

Airlines shit themselves about a single laptop battery, how is this different?

I know you can 'patch' MacOS, to run on machines where it shouldn't. But as a registered IOS developer, everything has to be kosher. If they detect you've tried to create an app with a too-old Mac, your developer account gets pulled.

I can see this happening for EV's

New 'old' Macs are great, until you realise that Apple refuse to update Macos if the model is too old. I have a 2012 Mac Mini, the only version they made with a quad core i7. Until the M1 came out, it was the fastest Mac. But I can't update Macos, for no other reason than Apple have decided thus. The EU directive for everyone to use replaceable batteries and USB C cables is great, but I feel your pain about soldered-in memory and CPU's. I've just bought a new laptop for travelling, an HP 820 G4. It looks quite a lot like a Macbook 😄 I chose this specific model because it was the last version where you could have 2 internal SSD's, an M2 and a 2.5 SATA. After this , they dropped support for 2.5" drives, which is fine, if they think it's an obsolete form factor. But to then *only* have a single M2? Prime example of backwards progress.

The Donald gets charged, is given the terms in order to remain free (i.e. don't commit any offences) Trumps (well I can't say Tweets, it's on his own platform, and it seems remarkably appropriate 😄) that someone should not testify against him, doing so ticks many boxes for being an offence. How much popcorn can a guy eat?

There isn't the local demand for scrapped car parts, so cars tend to get ground up and exported, rather than painstakingly disassembled and catalogued. If the chaps listed can't help you, then partfinder or ebay are your best options. Maybe the test centre can put you in touch with people they use?

I think that's the point, a UK gun club (which arguably, having gone through more security checks than the average joe, is -less- of a risk) -is- having an issue, despite not breaking any laws.
