    Guess that Awkwafina song now needs a partial re-write. Isn't Bernie Madoff dead? He's dead, right? Nah, that motherfucker not dead, he in jail getting booty-rammed by the feds, ge…

    USB stack error I seem to recall, can't remember if it was a scanner or a printer they plugged in.

    Not to be confused by Ripple, a Galaxy-branded chocolate bar made my Mars.

    Different brands use different formulations, apparently the brand that the dealership puts in at BMW/MINI doesn't play nicely with some of the brands from supermarkers. More of an …

    Didn't happen to be a BMW did it? It was a big issue for a while.

    As nearly always - SUVs are the problem. Smaller, lower cars don't seem to have the same issues.

    They do on iOS now too. That's how I keep my passwords sync'd across multiple platforms using Firefox Lockwise.

    Battery pack might be better really, you could move the centre of gravity slightly lower than the fuel tank and engine on a ICE version.

    It is where I live, so weird visiting the US and seeing "ask your doctor for" adverts. If I asked my GP for a specific medication they'd look at me like an alien.

    Other cars in the same class had it as standard - for example the Fiesta ST or the Polo GTI, I just didn't like the cabin or the ride quality on the Fiesta compared to the MINI. An…

    I have a 2019 MINI Cooper S with Professional iDrive, I can confirm it is buggy. It's the best system, but it's still awful.

    Sounds no worse than the factory Wireless CarPlay on my 2019 F56 Cooper S. It's infuriatingly laggy and buggy. Best bit was that when I ordered the car is was a near £2k option to …

    Depends where you live I suppose. A Jazz (what it's called in the UK) starts at £15k, a Smart back before they went electric only in this market was well under £9k.

    The vehicle had an huge fuel cell installed, it's likely they had much larger fuel pumps added to account for increased consumption caused by having a higher intake pressure. As fo…

    Disney+ doesn't launch until next year in my market. We are stuck with Disney Life which is utter crap.
