There are bigger problems that I agree need to be solved but I’m not personally that verbal about them. But the one I complain about the most has got to be potholes.
In the UK farmers are responsible for maintaining the hedgerows between the road and their fields so I feel like they should also be responsible for filling in the potholes caused by their heavy machinery and the cow shit left behind when they’re moving cattle.
I’m in the uk too but I’m out in the northern countryside, just to get to the village newsagents is a 15-20 minute walk and it’s about 12 miles to the nearest supermarket. Even in the UK there are places where you have to drive to almost everywhere.
Gen Z is a lot older than you think, early gen Z were around when fax machines were still common. Gen alpha maybe though.
100% the casting was amazing but it still would be cool to see a version with the real people
do you think you have to kill chickens to collect their eggs?
I get that they weren’t technically movie stars but it would be so cool to see the real James Hunt and Niki Lauda playing themselves in Rush
All the ice cream vans that show up in my area play The Entertainer, idk if it’s just a local thing or if most ice cream vans in the UK play that one though
I’ve been doing cognitive behavioural therapy to try and sort out my depression and I found that having to stick to an exact time table actually made it worse, instead I’ve just got to try and get one thing done at some point every day and then each week I add another job on untill I’m able to get all of them done like a functioning person.
I’m also supposed to pair it with doing something that I enjoy that gets me out of the house but I keep forgetting to do that bit.
Make sure to keep copies of all the complaint letters you get
Even then we still don’t use the same control scheme as the model T then, the model T had a separate forward and reverse pedal and no clutch.
But fly by wire isn’t a matter of difficulty it’s a matter of redundancy and safety, like I pointed out before, people aren’t going to maintain the system properly and if there isn’t a back up it’s going to lead to accidents.
Fly by wire would be a terrible design for a car, I’ve seen people driving on space saver tires or with taped up windows for months. If people already just ignore warning lights until something physically stops them from driving then at least having a physical steering column means there’s still control after the power steering fails so that they don’t go straight on into oncoming traffic.
On your other point about still using the same control systems as a model T, modern cars don’t. Hydraulic steering came around in the 50s and almost all modern cars have electric power steering, the model T had completely unassisted rack and pinion steering. I can’t find any definite answer on what the last car without any hydraulic steering was but I’d definitely like to find out if anyone knows.
Idk none of the donkeys I’ve worked with have been very smart
They always seem so chill in photos but I’ve worked with them and they’re one of the most skittish animals I’ve dealt with, the tapir they lived with was always wanting scratches though
The Abroad In Japan Podcasts is a really great listen, short but regular episodes and there’s a decent amount of variety in what they talk about
Wait they actually released that thing? I thought they dropped the semi truck design?
Ngl I’m kinda surprised by how many people use the main feed, when I first joined lemmy I just looked up some communities that I was interested in and set my default feed to subscribed only, the only memes I see regularly are from an RPG meme community.
I thought they’d confirmed that almost a year ago when it was spreading through sea mammals?
Oh fun, I just got my airbag module replaced in my 2012 Kia and now I might need to get the airbag itself replaced
It’s different from Reddit because if you don’t like the way your instance is moderated you can just use another instance and still see content from another
I thought they’d already banned the military from using this, you’d think secret service would be included in that ban too
