I drove on the M50 for the first time today. What a shitshow.

I didn't see anyone do anything that nearly killed someone, but the amount of people pootling along way under the speed limit in the middle and outside lanes was ridiculous, especially when the left lane was practically empty half the time.

left lanes the place to be ... i am in that shit as soon as possible . leave the rat race to the dickheads.

Theyre the same dickheads who have to be the first out of a carpark.

in the only paint recycling facility in Dublin

There’s only one?

There’s only one?

yes. in Ballymun

And I'm the only lad I know who uses it. I spend half the year with a pile of paint cans in my garden

 

[magicbastarder]

You mean the new yard up beside the council depot?
There's also a second paint recycling place in ballymun, in the rediscovery centre. They take in unused emulsion paint and mix it up into new batches.

Then there’s more than one

Ballyogan has a paints and solvents service. I drop in all my white spirits, spent spray paints, and paint tins there.

If Ballyogan was the only one and you were going there regularly, I was going to suggest dropping in for a cup of tea.

View attachment 19741

they used the land cruiser 70 for the design language. A jimny is great car if you actually need a 4wd. the grenadiers are beta testing on customers so far.

there's just been a recall issued for most cybertrucks, to fix a panel potentially falling off. tesla share price is still up today.

 

[ann post]

It's an interesting juncture now for tesla going tits up.

The share price is dropped to apoint very close to where lots of people bought in during it's first surge, they'll be seeing a loss very soon and either have to jump ship or stand about losing money.

VW / Stellantis / JDM brands might be looking at those battery factories and charging networks and possibly not much else seeing the cars are shit.

Having only owned my car for seven years, it came as a surprise to me today that when you use the other/spare key, a different set of radio station presets is brought up.

 

[ann post]

"The myth of the sub-$25,000 electric vehicle has been around for more than 10 years"
by american standards, maybe? the hyundai inster is €19k, or about $21.6k.

though i guess you need to take the grant into account, which i think is €3.5k
