I play with computers and take things apart to see how they work as well as spending too much time thinking about cars. Myasthenia Gravis sufferer :(



Question for my british people: My colleague said that I'm weird for eating my sausage roll like this?? Am I weird?






France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Parking lots over a certain size have three to five years to cover at least half their surface area with solar canopies or face fines. The projected output: up to 11 gigawatts of capacity, the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors. The panels shade the cars. They can charge EVs directly underneath them. They generate electricity for the grid. The parking lot goes from dead infrastructure to power plant without using a single additional acre of land. France plans to increase solar tenfold and double wind capacity by 2033. The US has approximately 800 million parking spaces. Eight hundred million. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?






🚨WOW: It's happening, fuel protests have broken out in England as patriots block the M1 near Nottingham. Ireland have shown us the way.




And today's court case: That's a most probable disqualification. The driver had 6 points already from driving with no insurance in 2024, and was found guilty almost immediately of phone driving today. He's now due for a Saturday disqualification court hearing as he will likely be disqualified from driving.
