I'm in Northern Ireland and haven't heard of a single company that dropped free EU roaming.

I've a wee 2016 1.2tsi manual skoda fabia. I really like it, think the dashboards layed out perfectly, everything intuitive to use, the AC is simple to adjust, its reasonably efficient, and is the right size for me.

I'd prefer insurance companies to stop taking the piss with the prices, I've never hit anything or got any points, its literally just because I'm a young man. I'd also prefer there to be a little more space between the clutch and side wall in the footwell as I have wide feet and its easy to clip the clutch when putting my left foot on the foot rest.

I ain't for going back to Netflix until they let me download shows offline on Linux. Seriously I paid for it, why can't I do that.

Completey freezes a few seconds after I open it (arch + 3050ti), even just in the main menu, requiring a full restart.

Well all I'm going to say is RIP Hello Internet

Almost everything I just put 01.01.2000 because quite frankly websites have no business knowing my actual birthday.

I agree, however they also don't allow sideloading as far as I know. I think there's a distinction between policing whats on your store, and what users can install from anywhere.

Ah completely forgot about regenerative braking! I thought the main reason it needed changed was due to age and water absorbance rather than usage though, but again if regenerative brakes are used heavily then the regular brakes losing a little efficiency is a lot less of a deal.

Do electric cars not have brake fluid? Should that not be being changed soon in it if you've had it 5 years.

I loved that thing as a kid, I'd completely forgotten about it!'.

Guinness 0 is remarkably good I have to say.

More likely just the shear cost of building the tracks.

Michael Reeves got worryingly close.

Seriously? I didn't know it was anywhere near that low. That's great assuming they haven't just replaced it with gas or something similar, although gas is supposed to be better than coal.

Will renewables ever be viable in countries like the UK or Ireland, where there isn't actually a whole lot of land for things like solar and wind?

STIs are kinda dope tho.

Agreed my friend, agreed.

In a lot of places the internet is there, but realistically the public transport never will be. It would cost so much to provide a service in every rural area that 3 people use that its totally infeasible. I think this is the situation where cars make sense, for people where public transport isn't a realistic option.

.ie is another one, you can't get them from a lot of registrars and have to prove you're genuinely based in Ireland.

On flat ground, agreed. On a hill, my car just doesnt have the power to do that without some gas.

Because the manual transmission changes the entire experience of driving it, whereas a manual choke or ignition only changes starting it.

Some people (including myself) just find it more enjoyable to drive a manual. I feel more connected to the car, like its doing exactly what I want it to, and I feel like I've done something when I've driven home rev matching gears perfectly.

It's just about preference at the end of the day, but I do find manuals more fun.
