Strava Voluntarily Drops Lawsuit Against Garmin
 Strava’s multifaceted legal (and social media) attack on Garmin was short-lived. Just 21 days after filing the original patent infringement case, alongside a Reddit post from their executive team attacking Garmin, the company has decided to dismiss the case

saw jimmy cliff once, like 20 years ago, when i was on vacation with my family & he happened to be playing on the island where we were. he came on wayyyy late, maybe even after midnight, following like a half-dozen local reggae acts, & holy shit that voice was right there. so captivating & joyous.

@… sorry euch am frühen Sonntagmorgen zu stören, könnt ihr mal nachschauen?

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆

Vi hade ingen maraschino men mycket körsbärssirap så vi körde en fuling och bytte, därav färgen. Mycket god kombination av anis och sötma. Påminner mig om hur tråkigt det är att jag druckit så lite absint sedan jag blivit vuxen #drinkklubben

Wenn du so in die World-Timeline blickst und denkst "Es wird nichts gepostet seit Stunden. Hab ich die Entrückung verpasst?", dann auf die lokale Instanz chaos.social gehst und merkst "Nur noch nette Leute hier. War wohl wirklich Entrückung."

Turns out that what hit flight #UA1093 was most likely a balloon from https://windbornesystems.com - this was brought up first in the thread https://x.com/vk5qi/status/1980386581497409891 and now the company confirms that it's a very strong possibility: https://x.com/johndeanl/status/1980462264974209292.
