McLaren sold McLaren Applied, the makers of the TAG700, in 2021 and it’s now known as Motion Applied.

Sorry, I wasn’t meaning to say that they were spitfires in particular that they pushed into the sea. I believe they were actually F4U Corsairs in that case.

The terms of the lend lease agreement meant that Britain only had to pay for the equipment it kept after the war. So in some cases they were pushing aircraft of the deck of carriers into the sea so they didn’t have to pay for them.

It’s incredible how much the Industrial Revolution was a purely British endeavour. The contributions of other major global powers like France, Spain, and the US were negligible compared to Britain and occurred much later.

Awsome. I'm planning on adding the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 EFI system to my AMC 360. One feature I really want to add to the app is prebuilt templates for popular aftermarket EFI, ECU, and Digital Dash setups from Holly, Edelbrock, Haltech, and Dakota Digital.

I’m developing X/D Loom (https://xdloom.com), a tool that helps car enthusiasts create automotive wiring diagrams.

About a year ago, I engine-swapped my Nissan D21 hardbody from the Z24 petrol to a TD27T turbo diesel and also installed a whole bunch of accessories, like spotlights, a winch, and an air compressor. But being lazy, I didn’t write down any of the wiring changes I made while doing all of this. So fast forward a year, and now I can’t remember how all the wiring works.

My current project car is a Jeep Cherokee FSJ, and for it, I want to build a completely new loom from the ground up. So to try and avoid making the same mistake I made with the Nissan, I Googled “create automotive wiring diagram”, but all the results were for complex enterprise grade solutions charging $200/month. That’s why I created X/D Loom as a project car guys' tool for creating wiring loom diagrams. It allows you to drag different electrical components onto a canvas, connect them with wires, and export them to a PDF or PNG.

Some of the other commenters here have posited a "vibe code theory". As the amount of vibe code in production increases, so does the number of bugs and, therefore, the number of outages.

One of the greatest stories from the first Trump presidency is him suggesting a "tenfold" increase in the United States nuclear arsenal, and Rex Tillerson subsequently calling him a "fucking moron".

> as a market grows one company cannot maintain the same market share as competitors join in over time.

Why not? Look at Apple's smartphone market share in the US. It's been fairly constant at 60% for the last 15 years.

Ironically, Stephen Rea was in V for Vendetta, a film about a British surveillance state.

I would be willing to bet that 80% of urban kids in the UK live within a 10-minute bike ride of a park.
