@chris_pointon @v8oholic Rothaus Tannen Zapfle is lovely. Might have to go get some now....

@v8oholic The brewery is just down the road from where I stayed on the B500 the other week, I did sample a few.

I don’t know this beer in the campsite restaurant but it’s sliding down nicely. It was raining this morning (although nice now) so I decided to just chill here. It’s rough, but sometimes it’s the only way 😀

@GrahamCompton @SawyerMerritt There is much more to tyre wear than weight. and not all tyres have the same wear rating....

@SawyerMerritt Add tax to tyres. The most sensible option I've heard to date. Miles driven based tax and if you're vehicle is heavier, they wear out quicker.

U.S. House lawmakers have proposed ​bipartisan legislation that ‌would require electric vehicles to pay ​a $130 fee ​to pay for road ⁠repairs annually ​and $35 for some ​plug-in hybrid models. The House is working on a ​five-year highway reauthorization bill expected to ‌cost ⁠more than $500 billion ahead of the current law ​expiration on ​Sept ⁠30, 2026. Most revenue for ​federally funded ​road ⁠repairs is collected through diesel and ⁠gasoline ​taxes, ​which EVs do not pay. I think $130 is fair since over time there will be fewer gas vehicles on the road generating tax revenue, They'll need to make up the difference somewhere so they can keep repairing roads, etc. Full bill text in thread below:

@IndexAndForget @dissectmarkets and leverage

@dissectmarkets Rentals have depreciation deductions...

I would love to own property But the returns I’m getting from income ETFs and the peace of mind and savings I get from renting is way better

@RSymonsLTD Very hard to argue with the maths behind that being very cheap motoring.

Closing in on 250,000 miles… 💪, in 4.5 years, with no servicing, barely any maintenance, original brakes, and every 10,000 miles costs me under £150 in charging. #miles

@el_drapo Made perfect with the HP.

Day 1632 of Gardening Leave. Met a colleague for dinner in town, home at 1am on a school night…. But it’s not a school night when you’re in the garden right….? Sooooo it’s a 3 rasher bagel kinda start to the day. Hanging 😭

@ListerLawrence @GrailArchive Except the touch buttons.

@GrailArchive I don’t hate these new designs by Audi

Turbocharged inline-six. Quattro AWD. OLED rear lights. MMI touch display. The A6 doesn’t just move people, it moves them in a way nothing else at this price point can match

@GrahamCompton Missed it! Slept tight.

Right, I'm going to bed in 15 minutes (23:00 BST). Ask me anything...

@jk_rowling @damekatydenise_ Keep it chilled until you see the replacement, you might really need it then...

@damekatydenise_ The moment he goes I’m glugging that bottle down in one.

Which one will still be around by Friday: @jk_rowling’s bottle of Cherry Lambrini or Keir Starmer? It’s too close to call.

@tillathenun @YTJustGetATesla @PorscheUK Its time this guy good to drive some better cars for review.

@ginge650 @YTJustGetATesla I should try asking Porsche one of these days but the German premium brands tend to be difficult to get press cars from in my experience. At least for me anyway. Maybe they've heard about my wife.

A very large majority of Tesla’s do not drive themselves. There’s no evidence that there is market demand for FSD and yet Elon worshippers insist nobody wants to buy a car that doesn’t drive itself.

@tillathenun @YTJustGetATesla I wish you would try on the channel....

@YTJustGetATesla If I had a Taycan, I'd always want to drive that thing myself.

@GrahamCompton Funny I had one today and I have eaten my fair share. I used to enjoy it but honestly it is so bad now. All sauce, nearly every burger is swimming in it.....just a gloopy chew these days.

We all love a cheeky macca d's. Skip one now and again and invest the money instead. You're future belly and wallet will thank you for it. 🤣

@IfindRetards @TiffMoodNukes You will never get a break.

@TiffMoodNukes Damn, I need a break

Costco toilet paper is about to get looted by retarded assholes who are in shitting-their-pants over a rat virus 🤦🏾‍♀️ @IfindRetards will be very BUSY

@GrahamCompton @niccruzpatane Dirty bastards!!!

@niccruzpatane So disabled before it even works properly? Bargain!

If you purchase the BMW iX3’s Driver Assistance package for $2,500, which includes highway and city driving, the feature will fully disable after 4 years. After that, you’ll need to pay to use it.

@GrahamCompton I can't believe for one second it is that low....35 a month? and not even allowing for kids....no, can't be that low...

The UK spends around £23 billion per year on takeaway / deliveries. That works out at around £418/adult/year - around £35/month. If that was invested at 8% for 20 years, you'd have over £20k. The UK has a convenience addiction.

@GrahamCompton Why I don't engage on here. I am not going to allow them to use me to get attention for themselves.

Apparently I'm now a fascist 🤣

@BellaWallerstei Bella, I don't know why you do it! People are deranged.

My fans keep me grounded ❤️

@markjohnoneill We had this happen to our dog too, it's terrible. Take care of yourselves.

On Tuesday Cooper had been happily playing in the garden sprinkler. Today we’ve said goodbye. Didn’t eat his food yesterday, so trip to vets and CT scan found a mass in his spleen. During surgery discovered he was riddled with nodules. All very sudden. Devastated.

@GrahamCompton @giveashitnature Almost 100% of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) network is electrified, meaning diesel engines are primarily used for shunting freight wagons inyards, construction work, or by private railways on non-electrified branch lines. 📷Wikipedia +2

@giveashitnature I hope they're not diesel trains, have you seen how much they leak?

Switzerland is turning the unused space between train tracks into solar power plants. A startup called Sun-Ways is piloting removable solar panels that roll out like a carpet between the rails. No new land needed, easy to maintain, and they feed clean energy straight into the grid. If the US scaled something similar across its massive rail network, it could generate enough clean, homegrown electricity to power millions of homes. This is the kind of smart, low-impact idea that gets more clean energy online without paving over more fields or wild spaces. Innovations like this show we can produce the power we need while leaving more room for wildlife and nature. Pretty cool engineering with a big upside if you ask me.

@AutoPap @ohsosuperfly Come on put numbers on it. Please!!!

@ohsosuperfly Much

Had a snooze, used the loo, had a great breakfast and am now ready for the next 300 miles. Also it’s cheaper than the Euro Tunnel. Not sure why you wouldn’t use the ferry to Calais. I much prefer it.

@chris_pointon Ah, you are going the other way. Schluchsee, enjoy. Rothaus brewery is nice.

@chris_pointon Do you know Splügenpass is open?

Got lost above up Lake Lucern, err again...., we were looking for the cliff side glass elevator, tallest in Europe, but it alluded us and we gave up. But it was nice up there either way.
