Guess that Awkwafina song now needs a partial re-write.

Isn't Bernie Madoff dead? He's dead, right?

Nah, that motherfucker not dead, he in jail getting booty-rammed by the feds, getting tossed by a dude named Big Ed, in a hotbed, eating ramen noodles and crying

USB stack error I seem to recall, can't remember if it was a scanner or a printer they plugged in.

Not to be confused by Ripple, a Galaxy-branded chocolate bar made my Mars.

Different brands use different formulations, apparently the brand that the dealership puts in at BMW/MINI doesn't play nicely with some of the brands from supermarkers.

More of an issue for newer cars though, I will give you that.

Nah, BMW uses tablets for it's screenwash that are about £7 for six, each makes 5 litres. BMW Part number: 83122298202

Less shipping cost/environmental impact too.

30 litres for around £7 (plus a few pennies for water) doesn't seem bad to me.

Didn't happen to be a BMW did it? It was a big issue for a while.

As nearly always - SUVs are the problem.

Smaller, lower cars don't seem to have the same issues.

They do on iOS now too. That's how I keep my passwords sync'd across multiple platforms using Firefox Lockwise.

Battery pack might be better really, you could move the centre of gravity slightly lower than the fuel tank and engine on a ICE version.

It is where I live, so weird visiting the US and seeing "ask your doctor for" adverts.

If I asked my GP for a specific medication they'd look at me like an alien.

Other cars in the same class had it as standard - for example the Fiesta ST or the Polo GTI, I just didn't like the cabin or the ride quality on the Fiesta compared to the MINI. And the Polo felt totally bland.

The Fiesta and Polo are so heavy now they need independant rear suspension like the MINI has.

I have a 2019 MINI Cooper S with Professional iDrive, I can confirm it is buggy.

It's the best system, but it's still awful.
