"Tesla nearly halved (-48%) its operations in the European Union, with 5,647 registrations in October compared with 10,867 in the same month last year, making it the car brand with the worst performance in the last month."

It's a cult, but a dying one!

Refreshing to see people with actual wrinkles in a L'Oréal ad.
I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Predator: yah I went to Earth and it was *so* authentic, our guide provided us with traditional weaponry and everything. facing humans armed with nothing but a shoulder cannon and a wristblade was a really spiritual experience.

Tire blew out on M23. No hard shoulder but shielded by a lovely female lorry driver and rescued by female highway patrol. Now awaiting the AA.

Looking at the state of my hand, I can really see why the roller skating place has you sign waivers. I didn't break a wrist but it's not a happy wrist ...
