Belgian? I guess I was always caught up on that thick new York accent...

Or did the Belgians just decide that was their shit.

Yes! Exactly like that! It worked out great in the end but was a rocky start with the bargaining and masking (about the nonsensical nature) but she got into it in the end!

Looks tiring, though - but one of the more rewarding strips I've seen. He's got a great way of portraying things!

I dunno. I reckon if Rosalyn engaged in his world (and maybe they made a snow man massacre or something), they'd probably have a great time...

The problem is, due to the ADHD, one of them is masking their behaviour considerably in any 'positive interaction'. That's why there aren't any -they're both too 'sincere' (not the best use of the word, but I hope you get the idea )

What in the double chin ballsack is going on here?

And anyone who knows what they're doing would have built in decent safeguards - obviously hindsight is a luxury here, but there's a reason there's a whole lot of checking that goes on when others are downloading update content over a hostile network... Input validation is a thing, and all that.

They just weren't very mature on that front, and now we all got to laugh at them but everyone else made similar mistakes along the way, just most of them started their journey decades ago (thinking windows update, etc), so we forget about the learning curve they suffered through building a resilient process

Yep , with distance markers like the movement sensor in the original alien movie

Thanks Google/Dave! - 0.6mm is a wild amount of wear but they are racing the shit of them...

Are you endlessly curious or something??

I did find this pdf from an nzta page that suggests there's a range of tire sizes available that a given wheel can accommodate (within their range of tolerance as well): https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_01-2009_V3_Tyre_Size_to_Wheel_Size_Compatibility_Guide.pdf

The 2nd page is a big honking table of different sizes, profiles and rim widths, so I gather there's a degree of anything goes and maybe next time we wear ours out, I'll try to be a little more attentive.. Maybe I can get some accurately sized ones (probably not worth it - getting pinged for going a few kmh over the speed limit would really suck!)

Yeah, that's the ideal, isn't it?

I can see how that's not a trivial thing to implement, however!

Holy crap, I never knew that!

Maybe? Surely it's quite a few mm to get 3km/h over though?

Sounds probably like I need to learn math again... Eww!

Actually, surely tires aren't all the same size? Ours are recently installed and the measured difference hasn't changed.
