I’m sorry, but you’re going to need a bigger boat.

Yes. A “flying car” is not a car, as its harder to comply with the laws of physics for flying than the laws of physics for driving, so to ever work it naturally becomes “an aircraft that drives” not “a car that flies”, with all the associated compromises.

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a picture of a boat you like.
Just some old wreck in Boston Harbor.

Them: “so I asked a generative agent for an image that encapsulated Britishness today.” Me: “I took a photo of the fish supper I was carrying home from the chippy after I’d been for a pint.”
Literally a photo if the fish supper i’m abiut to eat taken as i was walking along a tree-lined road in Golden Hour light.

So… is the current 2 the only Mazda built in France?

The only Mazda built in Britain is largely forgotten nowadays. The third generation 121, launched in 1996, lacked any Mazda DNA, unlike its interesting predecessor. It was simply a badge-engineered version of the big-selling Ford Fiesta (mk4), rolling off the same line at Dagenham. #carbluesky

"And it's not like there's actually much of a market for very expensive, very fast EVs: hypercar buyers want noise and an emotional connection, and they dont get that from an EV." "Meanwhile, Tesla's core business remains in trouble." arstechnica.com/cars/2026/10...

If you want to make a car spin in the air, compressed gas is a good way to do it.

I often grumble on here about infrastructure being part of the US road fatality problem. Chatting to a friend in Mass. about the rotary setup in East Milton above I-95 reminded me of this signalling cluster🤬. There's one lane in the direction of travel, but 2 contradictory lights... 🤦‍♂️
Screenshot of Google Street View showing where Granite Avenue enters the East Milton rotary system from the north in a single lane, and there's a traffic signal that shows a red light and a green arrow lit simultaneously.
Incredibly confusing on your visit.

Theother day, the Scottish Daily Mail has two stories on its front page. Two-thirds of the page was about immigrants stealing jobs, and the remaining third, including the picture, said how attractive this new Press Secretary is.

Accenture, once again demonstrating they can’t tell their own arses from their elbows, but yet somehow persuading gullible executives that they can identify the aforementioned body parts in others… 🙄

I'm looking at solar panels and battery storage for my house. There seems to be a clear "this is the clever one" technology out there. There is no way in hell that I'm having that brand of anything stuck to my home.

Here, you can’t go to any form of motoring event and there are always a few about. The “common one” reference is that my Yaris GRMN is one of only 400 built, so it make those seem common.
