Having a petrol car for the days when your Tesla has decided to drive itself back to the authorized Tesla service center makes sense.

forkboy84 posted:I like showing American friends how little daylight I get on the shortest day of the year because I don't think they realise how far north northern Scotland is. (The answer is 6 & a half hours. Proper daylight from 9am until 3:30pm baby. You go to work & it's dark, you come home from work & it's already dark. 2 hours less daylight on the shortest day than Seattle gets, poo poo rules) Don't complain in summer you get daylight till about 11pm.

happyhippy posted:Technically its never overhead for us as it will only be overhead at noon on the equator. Rest of us get arcs of differing height Everyone gets arcs of differing height. Between the tropics that height is directly overhead two days a year[1], at the equator those are at the equinoxes[2] - the 20th of March is the first one this year, as it happens, which means this time last week the sun at it's highest point over the equator was very slightly south of directly overhead, today it's very slightly north although it's obviously impossible to tell the difference without actual measurement. [1] The tropics are defined by only having one day of directly overhead sun per year, at the summer solstice for their hemisphere [2] Literally "Equal night" - the day and night are the same length. The actual day that we get 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark moves around more because of atmospheric refraction, especially this far from the equator where there's a lot more atmosphere to get through

I’d guess as someone who’s building his own house, 99 probably has more than one car. Observation, not disparagement.

The actual day that we get 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark moves around more because of atmospheric refraction, especially this far from the equator where there's a lot more atmosphere to get through Also because the sun is quite big and not just a single point, and for obvious reasons we measure sunrise and sunset based on when the top of it reaches the horizon, the actual length of daylight is always longer than it “should” be.

Maybe it's a safety feature, in the event of an emergency the petrol is dispersed over the surrounding area, deflagrating and consuming all the oxygen like a thermobaric warhead, which puts out the lithium fire before it can spread to other batteries in the vehicle. Sounds like a Musk idea.

It sprays petrol everywhere and ignites it in order to diffuse liability so you can't prove it was the tesla that started it.

The sun does set but it never gets darker than twilight. keep punching joe posted:Do they not have curtains in Aberdeen? Are there no eye masks? Until recently they'd just paint there windows with fresh crude oil each night. The viscosity would keep them covered until morning

Anecdotal I know but I’m in a pub that’s using free Spotify and between the ads on this and a bunch of ads I’ve seen on the tube, it feels like the Met are on a hardcore PR/recruitment drive burnish their deservedly poo poo reputation. So many BE A COP WE ARE GREAT adverts. gently caress off!

If Leicester had trams like Nottingham and England had train prices like Luxembourg I'd use trains all the loving time. Weekend up to Manchester just to look at a statue of a bee? Sure why not. As it is maybe there's a reason us provincial people outside London don't use trains. e: wHy DoNt BrItIsH pEoPlE uSe TrAiNs mr fucken "Was in Number 10 and ran comms at two big UK gov depts."
