What’s the worst car you’ve ever driven?
  • Oh wow dunno where you are but you lot must be spoiled haha... and I already consider ourselves spoiled compared to the States, apparently bog standard there is like 87??

    But yeah, Australia and NZ has E10 (didn't quite see this in NZ), 91, 95, 98 (and diesel).

  • What’s the worst car you’ve ever driven?
  • Rental car for South island NZ, MG Excite. Unfortunately we'd just had a hybrid in North island NZ, and had been spoiled by it's good fuel economy and responsiveness, amongst other things.

    This car had a label insisting on 95, not just 91. In NZ, fuel is fucking expensive, let alone premium. It also felt like we were filling up every day or at least every other day, whilst back up in North island we'd filled once every three to four days.

    It also handled like a turd, wired android auto was unreliable and crashed all the time so we had to reset the head unit multiple times a day, its driver assist was way too fucking interventionist and couldn't be disabled without being at a complete stop (said it could do it if below the speed limit but always said you were above it??)...

    Just terrible.

  • Front Facing "Flash" - But Just a Circle

    Hi all, just had this happen once (and it took a nice photo so I'm glad), but my settings are flash off...

    Took a wide angle selfie, and it lit up a white/amber circle on the screen, and that actually provided just enough light without washing out the foreground.

    Can't seem to replicate it. Can't find any other references online except this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneui/comments/127ae79/part_of_samsungs_implementation_of_night_mode_on/

    Any ideas when it triggers? Would actually like to use it instead of the default front facing flash.

    Went on a trip recently to North and South Island and saw some cool mushrooms... the blue ones were a surprise find.

    I was more surprised that they didn't seem to grow in more places. Perhaps it's too cold there?

    What do people think will be the fate of ryujinx?
  • Suspect they meant that when Tears of the Kingdom leaked early, a bunch of "Breath of the Wild" compatibility and performance patches came out for their early-access Patreon only builds. Or at least, that's what's been the scuttlebutt about the affair.

  • What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?
  • Given how out and proud the sentiments are expressed, the friend can't say they didn't know... I wouldn't waste much time trying to have them see reason. You don't accidentally join a dinner party where everyone else is a white supremacist, or an anti-vaxxer, or where everything they don't like is woke and thus should be eliminated.

    Either way I said probably... Which would likely follow as certainly after an attempt to see if maybe they have been wilfully ignorant (still not a good look).

  • What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?
  • It's precisely that they should be treated the same that I don't believe they make a good example as someone you wouldn't want to be associating with.

    You shouldn't care that mates of yours hang with ex-cons, so there is no conflict to be had there.

    I wasn't remarking on the incidence rate of fascists, merely commenting on their views.

  • What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?
  • Ex-cons might not be the best group to use in your example...

    If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I'd probably drop them real quick - notably as the current iteration of fascists are intent on ensuring people like me are dead or ground under their boot.

    On the flip side, just because I had a disagreement with someone doesn't mean other friends can't be friends with that someone - it takes a lot to be called "an enemy" of myself.

    Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies
  • You forget that in the States, they say "speed limit is X, so I go X+10", sometimes even 20. It's very common for comments to mention that the flow of traffic is literally 25% faster than the "limit" - it's like culturally so many USians treat the limit as a lower limit. 🫣

  • Asian Man Using Tabletop Stove

    I'm fairly certain he has a whole series of videos, with this portable stove. Kinda sits so it's almost level with his shoulders.

    He's got a fringe cut and glasses, and often is cooking ramen with additions to it.

    Thanks!

    Request: Highlight New Comments

    As per title... You have a working new comment counter, but unless I'm blind (please show I'm blind), the actual new comments don't get highlighted when you go into the thread.

    New comment counter

    Highlight new comments seems to work, but am I blind or is it not possible to have a new comment counter when browsing threads?

    There's other apps that can show the counter, this one that seems to be the only one I have at the moment that actually highlights new comments, but not one that does both. :/
