It's like those ''10 LIFEHACKS YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT'', and you think.... OK, let's see... and you look, and it's the dumbest, stupidest shite you've ever seen.

Was ''lunacy'' intentional? Word comes from the days when people thought a full moon sent some people insane (Luna = moon).
Whereas I think this guy was a bit backwards to begin with.

If they're doing it with iPhones (which they are, because they said so), then they're almost certainly doing the same thing with iPads. And they'll keep doing it for as long as we're lining their already overstuffed pockets. Probably the *snip*

Yeah it's always the case that you need hardware with massive balls for the groundbreaking stuff. But it's scary how we've gone from shitty 8-bit graphics to [almost] broadcast-quality realtime CGI in only a few decades.

Bit of a result - been told this morning by a reliable source that Lincs FM (owners of the car) have been made aware and it's currently under internal investigation.

It doesn't let you do that - you get disqualified within seconds if you go the wrong way. On some tracks you can even get disqualified if you've gone off the track onto an escape road and simply trying to get back to the track.

The range of stuff is probably a lot of the problem. They sell everything from TVs and drones, to bits of wire and spade connectors.

Looks like Maplin are quietly fading away - went in Boston shop today and there's a closing down sale. Picked up a couple of spares for the heat press since they were 20 % off. Probly my last visit ever which is a shame cos I like Maplin. :(
