And the other 10%?

I've never even been to a Pret, just never see them anywhere.

That said, Greggs is really overrated.

What a bargain, I think I'll pick up two just in case my kids destroys one of them.

It's only slightly more expensive, surely it's worth it!

What's the problem? Just use your third hand to keep the button down

My wife and her mum have gone away until Monday, so I've got both the kids all weekend. They're keeping me on my toes! I'm trying to find the time to watch the F1 qualifying but don't have a chance.

Only found out at 8:30 this morning that my daughter has a birthday party to go to at 10:45, and my wife has the car so might have to chance cycling there and hopefully avoid the rain.

Putting the £ sign after the value is in itself mildly infuriating.

I don't think they are, they're more akin to forums.

In my mind, social media is where you follow people and people broadcast their lives. That's the social aspect of it.

With Reddit and Lemmy we follow communities on topics we're interested in.

I do get the arguments for it to be social media but that just makes the category way too broad, as you could argue any site with a comment section is social media.

Well at least they'll be well prepared for summer.

This might be better in United Kingdom or even a political memes community, personally I'd try and keep this community strictly politics free.

I've been watching a lot of car reviews lately and yeah, I think you're right on all points. I watched a review of the new BMW 7 series and even the air control vents are capacitive sensors refer than little levers and it just seems unnecessary. What was hilarious was that the door release is right by the air vent control, so the review I watched saw the reviewer accidentally open the door when they were trying to control the air vent.

There's way way way too much reliance on touch screens in cars. I'm not even sure if you'd legally be allowed to use them in some countries, I feel like you'd have to pull over to just change the HVAC settings! You'd swear it was designed by someone that's never driven a car. They're decisions that are probably coming right from the top and the actual interior designers are pulling their hair out.

There's also a common theme across manufacturers where settings for features are lost when the car is switched off. So you have to go into the settings and change them back every single time you get into the car.

If I were in the market for a car (specifically electric), I'd probably go for Kia. The ev6 and ev9 look really nice. I've seen a couple of EV9s on the road recently and I was surprised at how much smaller they actually seem than on videos.

Like you though we're going to keep our car (Nissan Quashqai) as long as possible. There's no bullshit and it's practical and comfortable.
