Im Dezember 1975 öffnet in Kalifornien der erste Byte Shop. Ohne diese spätere Computerhandelskette wäre Apple heute vielleicht in Vergessenheit geraten.

Indigenous Treaty Making - Yellowhead Institute Treaty Map
Treaty making is olderthan Canada. Long before European contact, Indigenous nations engaged in diplomacy with one another — and with the land. This canon of diplomacy stretches back thousands of years and has been a universal phenomenon among Indigenous peoples. Given the scale and scope of Indigenous-led treaty-making, it cannot be captured fully in the

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. 😆

City officials and advocates gathered earlier in the week to protest these alleged noise machines.
They claim that a loud piercing sound has been emitted for months.
