Too true. But somehow the world seems to think otherwise.

Wait up , didn't you say that last year, too?

Speaking as A glider pilot, thay's the best place to put clouds

Looks like we'll miss you. Driving to Brisvegas in June. Tonight, got a couple of fires going, music and cheap wine & better cheese. Maybe catch up next tine.

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

Would you feel better about if they were wearing full PPE?

What the heck. Now you are drawing Trump and Twitter into it! But if the cap fits....

Just to bump this thread out of the shadows, because DJT keeps getting all the attention. I know that Ukraine has been catching up but hadn't noticed how big and constant their was is. How about Ukraine Taking out 4000 Russian drones.... in April alone! Meanwhile Putin's assistants say.... US Secretary of State Rubio congratulated Russians on Russia Day: he stated that the United States is committed to a peaceful resolution of the war in Ukraine.

WOW All so irritatingly polite. Have you turned to drink yet?

Am I missing something here, isn't GST basically a transaction tax for commoners? i.e. a way to exempt the big players from the transaction tax regime (GST) that's imposed on the financially captive public?

I had the same problem until I changed it to a male voice. Problem solved.

In your example, Octave, the driver still has to focus on the screen popup temp. Certainly not something that a non BYD driver could accomplish easily. Unlike conventional controls, there is no tactile feedback to confirm the desired action has occurred.

Announced Policies are generally not believed anyway. The public has lost trust in what politicians and speechwriters say.

That's just a comforting distraction. Compare: Generally people knew DJT was a liar, a cheat, etc... but there he is, at the top. Because people voted for him because they hoped he will drain their swamp and punish the over entitled partys. Generally ON Pauline has a poor record, has trouble keeping party members, and no concrete policy.... but people still vote for her because they hope she will drain their swamp and give the over entitled partys a drumming. Still a problem for us.

If I recall correctly (I often don't), Morris Minors and Austins had their instruments and switches halfway across the dashboard. Drivers seemed to cope with it. Seriously, though, Old style switches seem to last half a century, and are easily replaced if they break. I have had a Subaru with electronic dashboard. When the speedo failed, no replacements were available, and the car was instantly unroadworthy. I know that touch screens don't have a great longevity. I'm a fan of steam gauges in planes for the same reason.
