The small one is an E30 3 series and the big one is an X7 (pre-2022). The X7 does get slightly better fuel consumption than that, 27-29 mpg on the petrol engine. The 3 series is probably somewhere in the low 20s based on forum posts but I’m not sure where to get actual data for that one, and I’ve got no idea which engine is in it

NASA’s design is a few kilometres long and accelerates the vehicle at about 3 G up to roughly Mach 1. The technology is the same principle as a railgun, but it’s more like a maglev train with a track that ends pointing upwards a bit

It’s because all of his aggression was directed towards his own hair

We could so easily choose to use the spelling Ouranos and drop the Y sound at the start, but in our hearts we clearly don’t want to

Fair enough. The whip is a reasonable point to bring up, though I would suggest that if it bothered him that much he wouldn’t have stayed in the party for ten years. After all, he had switched parties beforehand. I get where you’re coming from though.

I’m not sure that makes him not right wing, surely that just means he wasn’t the kind of right wing that succeeded in the political landscape of the UK in the past 20ish years? His voting record is generally in favour of less regulation (outside of a few issues), lower taxes, military intervention, isolation from the EU. He’s pro-environmentalist, but that hasn’t always been an exclusively left-wing thing. Similarly, anarchists and Marxist-Leninists are both left wing, even if they wouldn’t necessarily get along well in a single political party together

I will have to preface this with the fact that I have not read any of his books, but former British politician Rory Stewart is one of the people that comes to my mind when reading your description. I don’t think that he comes to the right policy positions, of course, but whenever I listen to him he does seem to at least have a degree of empathy for all people. He seems to at least generally see the problem even if I think that his solution wouldn’t work. He has an effective way with words in interviews and his writing is generally very well reviewed too.

Well the bombs explode after he drops them, so I think he can quite safely say he has destroyed those bombs

CE/BCE isn’t strictly astronomical year terminology, it can be applied to the Gregorian calendar and AD/BC can be used for astronomical years. If you see BCE outside of an astronomy context, it probably does not include a year zero

Spitting Image seems like the most immediately obvious one. It’s older, of course, but I think the point stands

Would this work against HESH rounds? A lot of British and Canadian equipment that has been sent to Ukraine uses those

I mean, I can’t imagine it’s that effective if it does work at all. But it might be the kernel of an idea that someone latched on to

Mate I’m not telling you off for wanting to stretch, just puzzled about why you don’t do it earlier on when you start feeling cramped

You’re allowed to get up during the flight though

I’m not sure about that characterisation of Ripley in Alien. She doesn’t survive by fist-fighting the xenomorph, she’s not Arnie in Predator. She’s just determined and resourceful.

Scaphism, although the historicity of it is questionable

Noita! I’ve stopped playing it now as I more or less achieved everything I wanted to with it, but it really got a hold of me with how much it rewards creative approaches to problems

Lynch is a professional communicator, surely? His job is literally to represent the interests of the members of the union. And he’s very good at it.
