do you think you have to kill chickens to collect their eggs?

I get that they weren't technically movie stars but it would be so cool to see the real James Hunt and Niki Lauda playing themselves in Rush

All the ice cream vans that show up in my area play The Entertainer, idk if it's just a local thing or if most ice cream vans in the UK play that one though

I'm in the UK and there's definitely better cider if you're willing to pay £5+ for a single bottle but there used to be a really cheap South African cider that was way better than the big UK brands. IDK what happened but you only seem to be able to get it online at a way higher cost now.

I've been doing cognitive behavioural therapy to try and sort out my depression and I found that having to stick to an exact time table actually made it worse, instead I've just got to try and get one thing done at some point every day and then each week I add another job on untill I'm able to get all of them done like a functioning person.

I'm also supposed to pair it with doing something that I enjoy that gets me out of the house but I keep forgetting to do that bit.

Even then we still don't use the same control scheme as the model T then, the model T had a separate forward and reverse pedal and no clutch.

But fly by wire isn't a matter of difficulty it's a matter of redundancy and safety, like I pointed out before, people aren't going to maintain the system properly and if there isn't a back up it's going to lead to accidents.

Fly by wire would be a terrible design for a car, I've seen people driving on space saver tires or with taped up windows for months. If people already just ignore warning lights until something physically stops them from driving then at least having a physical steering column means there's still control after the power steering fails so that they don't go straight on into oncoming traffic.

On your other point about still using the same control systems as a model T, modern cars don't. Hydraulic steering came around in the 50s and almost all modern cars have electric power steering, the model T had completely unassisted rack and pinion steering. I can't find any definite answer on what the last car without any hydraulic steering was but I'd definitely like to find out if anyone knows.

Oh great so even physical ownership doesn't even mean you own something anymore

Wait they actually released that thing? I thought they dropped the semi truck design?

Tbf other countries were starting to build up prior to the start of ww2, it's not like they suddenly started the war effort in 1939. Afaik the only reason the war didn't start when other countries were annexed is because Britain and France wanted to build up their armies first and Poland just became the breaking point.

Ngl I'm kinda surprised by how many people use the main feed, when I first joined lemmy I just looked up some communities that I was interested in and set my default feed to subscribed only, the only memes I see regularly are from an RPG meme community.

I thought they'd confirmed that almost a year ago when it was spreading through sea mammals?
