Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.

They are well handy, it’s a shame.

A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want … I’m in Spain, there’s a few about. They’re basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

The demo gives you one level, playing as an android helper to the police, helping to solve a murder.

The full game really took me through the looking glass in terms of empathy. Can’t really say more without significant spoilers.

I’m 46, the parts of my life where I haven’t needed to use a car every day have been great for my physical and mental health … now I live too far from work I use a little 125 motorbike to commute, and it’s still much nicer than having to take a car. When I am forced to take a car, the one I have is small and economical.

I didn’t start figuring this out until I was 30, maybe you need a few more years to mature enough to throw off the consumerist mindset?

At 85 years old my Mum can’t drive or walk, she does her own shopping with an electric mobility scooter and occasionally needs the help of others … that works fine for her because she lives in what might be called a “15 minute city” these days.

Just walk in to the local shop on your way to/from wherever else you’re going (or just to get out of the house for two minutes if you’ve been working from home) … that way you can have fresh ingredients every day, and you’re walking a bit regularly so you don’t get overweight easily

They assume all windows users only have one hand free at all times

This joke is fantastic :-)

Ok then, you don’t think wanking someone off in from of kids isn’t a bit more than “icky”?

You don’t thing wanking people off in front of kids is a wee bit more than “problematic”?

Yeah, Gorillas was awesome … came with MSDos 6 IIRC

Didn’t speed disk do an optimised defragment operation, putting OS files at the start of the drive etc

Homer sitting on a stool: “Wait a minute, this tankie bar doesn’t have a fire escape!”

Urf, one of the candidates for mayor of the region where I live said that if they won they’d make an industrial park to encourage jobs … a third of the municipality is a nature reserve, half of it is a literal mountain, and the remainder is small farms. There are no roads big enough for a full size lorry, and there’s a large industrial estate in the valley below which provides lots of jobs.

It just made me wonder if they were that corrupt or simply on drugs.

I guess growing up in a rural area has given me a different perspective, ever since I was 11 I’ve had some sort of motorised transport and where I currently live has no public transport, so to me not having even a bicycle would feel like I was missing a limb

What happens when you want to go to a place that’s outside of the immediate area you live in?

I can understand not owning a car (I wouldn’t if I could get away with it), but then having no option for personal transportation, even rented, outside of cities would feel very claustrophobic to me

Nah, mines in Celsius … the poster above probably has an old British oven, they had a lot of hold-outs for imperial measurements.

In winter I light the fire, in summer I open the windows, the temperature range goes from chilly to toasty. I don’t have exact numbers on that.

I used to have a Hyundai laptop … it was really good :-)
