Lots of Fred’s fantastic TV shows can be easily found on YouTube.

Is there a modern equivalent of those shows? Nothing comparable comes to mind.

There’s little business case these days but I wish train operators would build more (or drastically simplify) car-carrying motorail trains.

Sandwich one of those silly cheapo USB mug warmers into the case. Plug it in briefly for a little warmth just to get it going. Like a choke on an old-fashioned car!

Not if you can’t afford the lawsuit.

The real "agony" I find when flying is the faff of getting to or from the airport at weird times of day. From the airport onwards it's usually a pretty relaxed affair whatever the time of flight. Wish I had one button/dial to balance price against that faff!

Maybe it's just a London/big city thing?

Been using this for longer than a decade only to hear about the service’s closure on HN… thanks Google. I’m sure the ad revenue from reading my emails in that time covered my feeble 1 account use case.

This approach would be a great addition to the AWS CDK. I was trying that out recently and, without constantly referring back to the AWS console or to the docs, it feels like flying blind.

I’m only disappointed that the squatting site didn’t conform to GDS’s GOV.UK Design System.

Why not rely on direct debit to pay the full balance?

I have a Citroen Ami on order and can’t wait! I think it might be the perfect “car” for London. If you’re into the idea of little electric cars that are ruthlessly utilitarian it’s worth checking out.

And now GitHub Actions are experiencing trouble... coincidence?

Look in the box for your new iPhone and you’ll find a USB‑C to lightning cable.

What’s the demonym for people from the Disappointment Islands? I hope it’s Disappointed people.

A similar thing has also been done with other religious texts (e.g. https://github.com/Sefaria/Sefaria-Project/wiki)

It would be quite interesting if all the world religions’ and philosophies’ texts could be hosted with a common format and available with an API for linking and finding parallels etc.

Maybe then run it all though GPT-3 and generate a new ideology – perhaps a bit scary as to what will come out!

Maybe English motorways, but not many buses on there!

At this point it feels like the heavy traffic past Stonehenge is part of our national cultural identity.

What is a liberty is English Heritage getting the road that goes beside the monument closed and charging an absolute fortune for tickets. They still run old diesel busses up and down that road. The bus drivers treat it like a racing track and it feels rather perilous to walk up the permissive path (after being made to feel like a criminal at the visitors centre!)

If I recall the drive correctly that could work quite well in the towards London direction, but there's both a difference in elevation and two lanes merging into one the other way.

That's a very questionable source. With such an overtly anti-Israel position, that's probably best taken with a large pinch of salt.

Is there a https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk for numbers of leaded petrol cars still on the road?

> LONDON, May 21 (Reuters) - Around 4.5% of all bitcoin mining takes place in Iran, allowing the country to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies that can be used to buy imports and lessen the impact of sanctions, a new study has found.

Brits call this a shandy. Very refreshing at music festivals.

Don’t most German cars already have an electronic limiter to 155mph?

I can’t comment on a particular field or ideology per se, but perhaps it’s social media newsfeed algorithms that are creating the similar effect to pilot-induced oscillation that you’re identifying?

Really long warranties on econoboxes is nothing new, but a 10 year manufacturer warranty on a sporty car like a GR Yaris, Supra or GT86 sounds pretty unprecedented!

Check out linear congruential generators or other pseudorandom number generators. Then map the resulting number to letters.

That it might not be a fair comparison.

There are a whole lot more Android users.

It’s funny how everyone thinks that the threshold for any tax on the rich should always be a bit higher than their own circumstances!

So the user hasn’t actually opted-in/allowed notifications?
