I just looked up the dimensions and it's ridiculously big. You'd have trouble parking in it most places where I am from.

> Like the UK, where you can tweet that someone should burn down a hotel full of migrants, and you can be arrested for tweeting that.

During the middle of a riot where people were actively trying to set fire to a hotel full of migrants.

The car park there has been falling down on it's own for years and the office spaces vacant for decades.

If they could knock the flyover down too it would be a boon in my opinion.

For years I've used this as a home page of sorts for Microsoft products. It's very annoying not to be able to use it now.

I'm also from 'across the pond' and think this is technically unworkable and is likely not going to fix any problems at all.

> Never investigated myself, but some car-knower once told me that running the tank on low always isn't good for the fuel pump, or something like that.

The main issue is that it risks pulling detritus from the very bottom of the fuel tank, usually a bigger issue in diesels and I suspect less of a problem these days.

Loads, you can usually tell if something is limited to 2.4Ghz only.

Cabled up an EVSE the other day and the brains of that was a ESP32 chip.

That's why the whole NCAP safety table is topped with Chinese vehicles then.

Why would you assume you can become a skilled blue collar worker in a year?

Nobody in Europe thinks that healthcare just exists for free, but that it should be available to who need it for free and are happy to pay for that via tax.

Seems easier to comply to the single market rules though than 50 odd different states.

> US: "We will invade greenland" EU: "omg we need to invest in greenland and increase its military support, we will send more troops immediately!"

> US: "we will pull out of nato" EU: "omg we hate US we need to massively increase military spending and industry"

It's in both the EU and the US's interest to ensure NATO is the strongest partnership possible and the US's actions over the last few weeks have undermined it almost perfectly.

It's also down to vaccination requirements for EU based farms who take far more preventative measures than US ones.

It's why you can eat raw eggs and keep them out of the fridge in the EU/UK but not in the US, because the chickens are vaccination for Salmonella.

If the US pisses enough countries off with this Greenland stuff that they shut down US bases around the world, that substantially curtails the US Navy's ability to be effective globally.

Putting the timing chain at the back of the engine away from the front is generally done to reduce torsional vibrations and tends to help with space claim, especially for pedestrian safety systems where you need a lot of travel space under the bonnet. But yeah, serviceability suffers.

Electric water pumps are a great idea though, instead of having an aux belt with tensioners and pulleys, you have on single part that can be unmounted and swapped out. Can run after the engine shuts off too to help cool it down.
