We all like to joke about July being "Gay Wrath Month" but it's actually Disability Pride Month, so have the Disability Pride Flag from VGAPride and my AST Premmia LX MS-DOS machine

The American road system baffles me for many reasons. The main one being:

🔴 Traffic light red:
You can turn right.
There will be no pedestrians crossing. You have right of way.

🟢 Traffic light green:
You can turn right.
There will be pedestrians crossing in front of you. You do not have right of way.

@mattgrayyes Surely to start on a 7 lane high street you turn on the ignition like starting anywhere else? runs!

@mattgrayyes I tend to find traffic in London is "better" then where I live, but I suspect it's more down to the traffic moving a little slower on average then driver actions.

My charge from last night on a 30A charger (7.2 kW at 240V).

This is why I'm always harping on the "stop installing giant charger circuits" thing! Even this is a luxury - I only charge about weekly or if I make a long trip.

For USians, a 10 gauge run of wiring will deliver 5 kW sustained. You'll only ever think that's slow if you drive a TON and/or have a really big vehicle.

Especially if you're thinking of DIYing an install, 10 gauge is so much easier to deal with.

@TechConnectify 50A? Ouch, my entire incoming supply is only fused at 80A

@TechConnectify I've never actually lived anywhere here in the UK with a feed over 100A. I have seen a 200A feed.. but as it was an 8 bedroom/6 car garage house, I think we can class it as "not tipical"

Tech bros love to boast about moving fast and breaking things, so it comes as some relief to find an instance where they've moved at a more stately 17 knots and yet still utterly fucked it.

In this case the "it" being carpool vehicles. Programmed to treat movement without the engine being switched on as either theft or witchcraft, they instantly bricked themselves in response.

What happened when these vehicles travelled by ferry was perhaps predictable...

@DreadShips @patterfloof And it's not like vehicle tracking companies have known about this for ages...

@patterfloof @DreadShips Didn't the lockpickinglawyer find a smart lock where you could just unscrew the front, and press a reset button, with the company's "defence" of the design being "we don't expect people to carry screwdrivers"?
