Whenever I do brakes/wheel rotations I make sure I do everything up right, then just as I'm about to put the nut wrench back in the boot I check all the nuts again!

Thankfully never found any loose ones - yet!

Also, what's going on with that rotor? Looks like it's been baked.

Yep. No doubt someone has had that wheel off since the WOF (and I don't mean this exact instance).

I am aware. However that doesn't mean that the average modern Brit eats it, thinks it's an appropriate food, or has even heard of it.

I'm a New Zealander, and peanut butter here almost never has any added sugar. In Australia it's difficult to find it without added sugar.

Sugar added to peanut butter just tastes awful to me.

I like Reece's Pieces but that's different because you aren't going to spread it on bread/toast.

Citation needed. It's not a common UK food at all.

To be fair, his logic checks out. It's totally wrong, but it is consistent...

Therefore, by your logic, someone damaging your car doesn't give you the right to assault them.

He doesn't need to give it to charity. Just give it to all the contractors he's left high and dry in the past.

It's like the opposite of the prepper movement... Make yourself entirely dependent on the internet for every basic necessity.

Farmers will have to relocate to more suitable areas won't they.

Heaven forbid they can't just farm anywhere!

That sort of stuff always cracks me up. Not that it's funny. But you know what I mean.

β€˜Everything Is Gone’: Gazans Return Home to Find Devastation and Little Hope

Gaza has 2.2 million people. In 2 years, 10% of the population has been killed or wounded. Their entire infrastructure has been destroyed.Β 

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.

To close an electrical switch means to make a connection i.e. power is flowing. He sounds confused.

"Risk is non-linear..."

What are you even trying to convey with that statement?

Risk is different in different road situations / intersection types, is that what you're trying to say?

Yes, turns where you are turning across oncoming traffic are generally more dangerous. That's why there are turn arrows, and turning bays.

However, saying that travelling through 5 intersections instead of doing 1 turn is safer, I will not believe without data. It also has other cons, as mentioned.

I love how you keep saying true stuff that doesn't address what I'm talking about.

You do you, it's fine.

If you take three rights instead of a left, you are exposing yourself to five intersections instead of one (you have to travel through that first intersection twice, as well as your three right turns). If you think that is safer, you do you. But it doesn't sound safer to me.

17.10.2025 19:14 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yep, not sure why this changes whether you turn right or left.

Circumnavigating a whole block (some blocks are quite large)to avoid turning a particular direction just exposes you to more hazards. And if everyone did it it would noticably increase traffic volumes.
