Was going to ask the same question - cruise control is for open roads like motorways. Not around town. No wonder they had issues with it.

If the driver wasn’t expecting it to stop, then they weren’t paying enough attention to the road in front of them

And that hot coffee will be all over the place. Tough.

Exactly.

To quote Ramsay Bolton, 'If you think this is going to end well, you haven't been paying attention'.

Over $4 million for a bloody car? And people wonder why the world is going to shit. It's because there are fucking oxygen thieves that can afford things like this.

Nobody needs to have one of these.

Sadly it will be a long time before that happens. I wouldn't mind betting China an Russia keep it unavailable for some of the smaller countries that have fallen under their influence.

Notoriously unreliable as well.
Lots of them in Hertford and Ware (where I live and work) and completely pointless.

N.B. Those of you outside the UK, look up Hertford or Ware UK on mapping system of your choice. Not exactly the Scottish Highlands is it?

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it's a gacha. I don't want to gamble with my account being banned, so I'm keeping windows for it specifically.) this'll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with...

Endeavour and KDE.
Like the look of it. Easy to update, no bloatware or games reinstalled.
If I do swap again it'd probably be back to Mint. I had some issues a while ago and moved to MX. That worked well but there was so much guff. Tried Endeavour about a year ago and have been here ever since.

Radio Paradise. All others are just meaningless waffle.

Sounds too good to be true - if it's legit, this is an excellent idea. Lets hope they can scale it for industry.

Because the name begins with GIMP.

I know what GIMP stands for. I've been using it since it came out.
If you're going to be pedantic at least spell it correctly and not GIMO.

I have no idea what Glimpse is.

Goodbye
