- Double-o Seven, for this mission you will need a fast stealth escape vehicle. - So do I get an Aston Martin? - Well ...

UK is in a recession so James Bond needs to tighten the belt. Also, only Tesco gin and tonic for him from now on.

O sweet times when it was imaginable to have a combustion engine weighing 32 kg in your check-in luggage. I sincerely wonder if this wasn't hazmat back then?

A mystery meat lithium ion battery pack from Amazon is probably more hazardous than this.

Interesting how Japanese companies were pursuing these compact mobility solutions. One other example is Honda made two of them: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Motocompo in 1980s and - https://motocompacto.honda.com just a few years ago. This one is electric.

I think I've seen that Honda one around NYC. Had no clue what it was. It just looked like someone was riding a brief case and that's basically indeed what it is.

The cookie consent banner here is the ultimate dark pattern. No deny all option, and the options are impossible to determine. Is the first toggle to turn on or off? I assume on, but that's not labelled anywhere. Based on convention, I'd assume to the right is enabled, but it's entirely against their interests to have it default to off.

Yep, I just closed the tab and said fuck it.

I clicked save & exit, since save & exit obviously does not imply consent, so if they're doing something wrong with it, they're criminals.

Missed opportunity to use the wheels for the suitcase also. (By the way, I'm looking for a suitcase with air pressure wheels)

Out of curiosity, why do you want pneumatic wheels on your suitcase?

Sound, mostly. But also helps with vibrations if I'm carrying sensitive equipment.
