Played today and had my worst ever meltdown. 24 points after 11 holes. Then Mr S***k paid me a visit, refused to leave, and I ended up...

Too right. Back in 2018 my wife's Skoda went into limp home mode because the wastegate actuator failed. Turned out nationally 400+...

I use one on my laptop. Got it from eBay for about £12. It works fine. Claims it does up to 100W. It sits about 2mm proud of the socket...

I was reading his obituary on the BBC and amazed to discover he survived over 40 years following pancreatic cancer. Even with the...

The only time I tried using a mate's laser I couldn't hold it steady enough to focus on the flag 😅 (And no, I don't have Parkinsons)

Now you're just fishing. But it's Christmas so I forgive you 😝

All the above might make for a little bit of improved efficiency under load, but it would be minimal. I've also been doing a bit more...

So you're saying a diesel engine creates a lot less heat when it's working hard, right? In other words, it's way more efficient when...

If that is true, then it's precisely the definition of getting more efficient as the load goes up. But I don't believe it's true. If a...

No argument that electric is way more efficient than ICE. But the highlighted bit implies that a diesel engine gets more efficient when...

Possibly, but I've not heard of losing lots of range in an ICE when loaded up. Can Bunkermagnet confirm what happens with his diesel...

All true, but it doesn't explain why it's more pronounced on an EV than ICE. In both cases the amount of extra energy required would be...

Can anyone explain the physics of why adding load impacts range so much more on an EV than an ICE? I just can't fathom why.

Be warned that both Thurlestone and Bigbury are a bitch to get to (but worth the effort). Prepare yourself for single track lanes with...

I don't hate my current dentist. Or the one before that. I *do* hate what the dentists I had to endure in the 1960s/70s/80s did to me...
