LAs Totally Awesome is apparently the best. Not available in Australia though.

The glovebox is the real killer. Absolute worst design decision putting no button or handle to open the glovebox manually.

Why is that? We have tonnes of roundabouts in Australia. I hadn’t considered they might be a problem without stalks.

It's that brighter dot to the right of the reflection.

 

I bought a 15 Pro on Monday. Today (Wednesday) I received a tempered glass trying to put on the front and it also came with a glass cover to protect the camera lenses. So I put the glass on the front, and then start cleaning the camera bump area with an alco wipe. There was a spec of dust that was being stubborn to remove. After a little while I realised the spec of dust is on the inside of the camera lense I put the glass cover over anyway but now I'm wondering if I should return it to Apple. It probably isn't affecting the pictures it's taking but now I've seen it under there, I can't unsee it.

That's not true. You can get a gun licence pretty easily in Australia. Anyone that passes a police background check can get one. Yeah it takes 6 months but that's probably a good thing as well. You can't just make an irrational emotional decision and get a gun.

Also the storage requirements are quite strict. You have to have a proper gun safe to own a gun.

Then it's only single shot rifles and some pistols. We also have no public carriage. You can only move guns around from point to point, not just casually carry them.

It makes access to guns very hard for the average person. Yeah it doesn't stop organised criminals having more dangerous weapons, but organised criminals aren't going into schools and massacring people.

Strict gun control has been a really positive decision in Australia. Those who want to go hunting, still can, but kids, teenagers and crazy bastards have a very hard time getting them.

That's a good point.

However you probably find men buy and drive most cars a lot more than women. So they set up the car for the majority customer and the wife just has to make do.

The only way that could be possible is if your sitting way too close to the wheel.

I see it a lot with women. They sit with their chest basically touching the wheel.

Ideally you want to sit as far back as possible. Slight bend in your elbow. The further away from the wheel you are the greater the chance you will survive a serious incident.

Your probably right.

There a completely separate issue though.

Very pleasant person.

The woman was German.

Why would Israel give a shit about these people murdering Germans?

If anyone would be making a measured response it should be Germany.

If it was my daughter being paraded through the streets dead, I wouldn't be thinking about a very measured response right now. I'd probably be trying to level the entire country.

 

My model 3 long range is sitting in my garage. I charged it to 80% on Thursday night and unplugged it on Friday morning. It's just been sitting since that time unplugged but undriven. It's down to 51% on Tuesday morning. Down 30% in 4 days seems kind of bad. Sentry mode is on despite me having it set to not be on at home. Still seems like a lot of energy usage for a couple of low resolution cameras. Anyone else noticed this substantial energy usage when not in use?
