Fallout is good. Where’s the deathclaws? I’m only a couple of episodes in though. I might go back to the game and actually play it properly rather than trying to snipe limbs off robots from large distances while a few beers in.

I meant a Lambo or something like that but actually after writing that I realized car theft is getting to a place where run of the mill cars are in the high risk category.

There’s tons of different ways of thinking about making a vehicle harder to steal but a lot of them also come with issues about “what if it deploys while driving” or similar etc. If it was me and I had a high theft target I’d assume I also have the means to install automatic bollards that...

Have a beer with your new friendly barnacle. Remove at leisure.

It would need new seat design. Pretty doable though. Also might need a sensor to make sure no one is sitting in it at the time but we have those already for airbags. Seat moves automatically on authorized door lock/unlock or even independent as an extra security measure.

Call CAA and have your car towed away with the barnacle attached.

Years ago I had an idea for an anti-theft patent where the drivers seat had a setting that moved it forward to a maximum point and bent it over so it touched the steering wheel blocking access to the steering wheel, controls and maybe ignition/push button start.

Just more of a challenge. I have no issues with putting these gizmos on serial offenders or on cars in highly marked zones but I do have an issue if they are used in cases where there’s ambiguity that might lead to a mistake. Now your car is being held hostage.

Drive slowly away with your head out the window to a side alley and have at her or just use the reverse camera and drive backwards to a more secluded spot for some barnacle removal. I saw the underside of these things. Looks like two large suction pads one centered under each panel. A battery...

Boltcutters.

This is filmed in a pretty unique way. I like it. The flashbacks to old B&W classic movies as a theme works well. It’s very L.A. noire.

Some of those will inherit two houses from their parents. The parent’s main residence and a cottage. That means some inheritors will have three properties to juggle. Now an even bigger first world problem. I’m having a job building any sympathy here. The ones with the debts will still have...

My inheritance will eventually be a quarter share of a tiny semi-detached house with a postage stamp yard situated right next to a railway line in a country several thousand kms away. It’s definitely not a cottage.

No I kept base Prime. Just cancelled Britbox and pbs

Just cancelled a bunch of channels on Amazon Prime as I wasn’t watching them much and they weren’t really being updated. Instead I switched to AppleTV+ for a bit as they have a great selection of high quality shows. There’s zero incentive for any loyalty with these channels/services. A new...

What’s worse is that I’m very careful who I give my mobile # to. Some webforms for various places/companies insist on a mobile # field being filled so I’m 99% certain that those places have sold my # which makes me pretty mad.

Fallout is on my list. The Gentlemen on Netflix is excellent. I’ll miss that when I finish it. Great Guy Ritchie series.

My phone is sending more texts and emails to spam than ever before. So many scams these days. My favourite one from a while ago was something like “I’m on an oil rig right now, can you send it to blah blah blah”. I replied with “hey, I’m on the oil rig across from you, swim across and let’s do...

I still can’t get over how normalized it is having 2 properties here. Back where I’m from you’re in complete baller land if you have that. It’s hard enough getting one. This is a very first world problem.
