Quentin Willson: Former Top Gear and Fifth Gear presenter dies aged 68 The presenter and campaigner was described by his family as a "true national treasure" and "true consumer champion".

Oh no. Loved his dry humor style and I might’ve even exchanged tweets with him, probably about me being a fanboy of his ”The Car’s The Star” series.

I guess I have to turn in my citizenship for needing a second guess.

So what may have happened is that my friend sent a message at 9 pm. "I did get BF6 after all" and then we may have played until 04 am.

I also may feel tired and my middle finger may have a swollen joint because it doesn't like these gaming sessions now that I'm over 40.

Nothing makes me as passive as a call to action.

Watched the first episode of ”The Paper”, which is literally The Office but about a local newspaper. Cuts so close it’s not even funny all the time.

Traded a couple of old lenses to MPB and ordered a Kodak Charmera. Not directly related but hey, this is how addict... collection management works, right? #photography

There should be a special place in hell for applications that open pop-ups while TYPING. I'm looking at you, Lightroom Classic.

I do like when a studio listens to my personal discussions. I said ”dammit where’s Kiwami 3” about three months ago and here we are.

Yea uh
No.

There’s a reason why we mad Yuropeans want a license plate on anything that goes over 25 km/h.

Only by buying vintage, possibly walking.

Managed to charge the test drive Volvo EX30 CC to 80,0% by pure chance (limit wasn't on) so I'll be waiting for my "EV Wizard" diploma in the coming weeks, there is nothing left to master. #cars

That notification is like the dark version of the classic "I'll get 7 hours of sleep" "Alarm in 4 hours 50 minutes" interchange.

Misfiring immune system and hives I do know, so sorry about your long covid.

I'm awfully bad at reading stuff (but Neuromancer is on my very short list of "books read more than once") but I do like his takes on Twitter (when there was such a place) and elsewhere. The "No Maps For These Territories" documentary was pure g-o-l-d.

Did some courses on futurology in uni and it turned out to be more of a trend guessing than actual details and innovations, because guessing stuff decades on is reeeaally hard. Flying cars we've had for 20 years anyone?

That would've been great a e s t h e t i c! Maybe even done as a security obfuscation not to use your own phone as analogue mobile phone scanning was all the rage then.

And even parts of Neuromancer do read quite outdatedly but nothing that ruins the thing.

manufacturing is done in Sweden, Belgium and USA in addition to China (not unlike Cupra and BMW etc.).

And Polestar. Offices across from Volvo in Gothenburg, R&D in the UK, manufacturing in China and the US. What are we to do with that?

I'm quite fed up with this whole discussion as a topic (not with you guys), as most Finns view the Swedish car brands as "almost our own" and as such Volvo and Saab as passion topics for many. Equally many want to interject "Volvo is a Chinese brand", even if design is done in Gothenburg and

NGL, would've guessed another model if it was on the list.

Nice and easy, drove one of those two weeks ago, but a specific year is always a tough one for me.

Passed my driving test in a E46 Compact, can't hate that car too bad.

Nice, took me until the second guess to get the year right.

Damn, didn’t even get Disney+ in time to cancel it.

Pretty sure this would get me into Jack Reacher.

Photo of square orange tiles, set into the ground, across one of which several cats footprints are clearly visible.

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

Almost said "what is it girl" to my car when it had been acting weird with the key for a week. Low battery warning (even with a new battery) and refusing to lock the doors from the door handle.

Turned out my hunch was right and the spare key fob was in the car by coincidence.

Yesssss my fellow commenter, exactly this!

Had a second run in with the Xbox Live Arcade version at uni, played a single match for 50 minutes and 470k points with a light migraine. That was unforgettable, and not entirely in the positive sense.
