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. 😆

Not sure why, but China is feeling the need to say that China is being attacked by Taiwan with cyber incidents rather than the other way around.
Mainland deals with almost 4,000 cyber attacks from Taiwan in 2025

The consequences of the 996 working hour system:
"On the Chinese internet, the country’s current predicament – slowing economic growth, a falling birthrate, a meagre social safety net, increasing isolation on the world stage – is often expressed through buzzwords. There is tangping, or “lying flat”, a term used to describe the young generation of Chinese who are choosing to chill out rather than hustle in China’s high-pressure economy. There is runxue, or “run philosophy”, which re…

If Alito steps down (My feeling is that he deserves to be thrown out) then the Senate D's should refuse to confirm any Cheato nominated successor.
Better to let the SCOTUS seat stay empty rather than have yet another trump sycophant.

I need people to understand that a Lenovo ThinkPad and a Lenovo IdeaPad, or a Lenovo Yoga and a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, are totally different things, where one is a flimsy piece of shit and the other has a good chance of being a computer that you replace because it finally got too slow rather than because every part on it failed multiple times. ThinkPads (mostly) last.

Wow, this Gov't - esp Simon Watts - are so ridiculous in their insistence on gas rather than focusing on renewable electricity generation. This $ billion terminal they propose is a dead duck before it's even built. It's throwing good money after bad, digging the fossil fuel hole deeper rather than filling it in. Watts is also wrong that the terminal is faster to build than renewables. So dim and/or corrupt.
