There's loads out there,mini EV,fiat 500 EV,Mazda mx30,mg4,id3,cupra born....
All great small cars and reaching price parity new but especially 2nd hand with traditional ice cars.
The mg4,which is a superb car,is already cheaper new than a new ford focus or golf but is similar size and with a 7 year warranty against their paltry 3 years.
No brainer if you can charge at home (around 250 miles of range for £5 of electricity on the cheap tariff we have)
 

Correct. Until they figure out a net zero way to mine. Which is essential if bitcoin is to have a future. If nothing changes in terms of energy generation prices then after the next couple of halvings mining will likely stop as uneconomical

You don't know they are about cricket because you don't understand cricket. Or the language they are written in. That final image of the cat dressed in both umpire attire with the above spin doctor joke is simply brilliant. This wouldn't have been possible on the old twitter, where you would have only seen so-called "news" by those msm "journalists". Viva la free speech.

When Iran attempted to bomb Israel, I went on X, clicked on the trending topic and after 30 seconds I just gave up.
All it was is a bunch of copy and pasted tweets from different accounts.
RT if you support Israel, like if you support Iran. Literal copy and pastes.
Then, no Sanatani will scroll past this without liking, with some gif of an Indian woman.
No news outlets, no journalists, nothing but these tweets after each other. I tried blocking keywords, they only work in your home feed. I started blocking accounts, yet refreshing it was populated with more of the same.
I don't care what the Musk fanboys say about his stats and revenue claims, the platform is a shadow of its former self, it's utter s*** is what it is. 
Had he just followed his free speech dream and left everything alone, not touched a thing then it wouldn't be an issue. 
Every single change he's made is a backwards step, the latest one paying users to post has created this viral copy and paste nonsense which is damaged the ability to follow events in real time. 
I hate there has been no group of developers financially backed to bring a real alternative to this shitshow.

Beat me to it.
I was under the impression true Bitcoiners had digital wallets and avoided brokers. 

Does this give you your own local wallet or are you holding it with a broker like coinbase? (And therefore at risk of losing it all when they over leverage and go bankrupt)

Both of them
They have averaged less than one goal per game this season, and we've conceded the fewest goals in the league (even less than Pompey)
Not to be complacent, as stranger things have happened, but as long as we stay focussed at the back we will be fine
 

Yes.
And I broke my own record for Airplane jokes in one thread.
Equally impressive.
I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue.

Love how after we've just won that people are already working out what we'd have to do to not go up! Blimey - talk about glass half full.  We get at least a point and we're up (and we're playing Carlisle ffs). Let's focus on that?  Not suggesting it will be a walkover, but I reckon if you said a few weeks ago that all we'd need to do is draw at home on the last day of the season against the bottom club, we'd be OK with that. 

Over here in pedants' corner, we'd like to point out that Space X still hasn't worked.

Musk has a proven track record of success which you cannot deny.
People ridiculed Tesla and Space X years ago saying it would not work.
When he takes SpaceX/Starlink public in five years time I expect X will be part of the deal.

The change from Twitter to X obviously will be a slow process but change is happening that will increase users.
Mistakes will be made same as Tesla and SpaceX but I would back Musk because he is a winner.

AI is definitely the way forward.
Is it Grok? 
Er... 

Just finished Baby Reindeer.  Parts of it had a profound impact on me, as being too close to home.  But I am glad I watched it, it is a quality production dealing truthfully with a hard to grasp reality of emotions in disarray and trauma.  I understand some things now that I didn't before, for me this was soul cleansing stuff.

Sometimes yeah, maybe but this is not an example at all. She deleted the tweet herself once it became clear that she was 100% wrong, and left totally exposed as having said something hugely prejudiced. She wasn't "shut down" or "cancelled".  And this is from someone who is very vocal about perceived anti-semitism (to the point of also shooting herself in the foot when she said that she "didn't look like a typical jew"!). You'd think she might be a bit more aware of religious stereotyping
There are certain topics where we really need to all learn to think about what we are about to say before we say it.
Sadly some people seem determined to say controversial stuff just for the publicity

Essentially yes absolutely 
this is … with time part of the catalyst / driving force for the post halving price pumps that weve seen 
u could view it costs the same amount of energy to get half the reward .
but its the same difference 👍

Watched the first episode last night and it was really wince-inducing in parts (intentional - not in a bad way!) looking forward to seeing how it pans out
I like that it's a true story and therefore won't just be some glitzed up version of stalking (like the ridiculously daft 'You' on Netflix)
and already you are starting to find yourself flipping between sympathy and blame for both characters, so that's quite a feat to pull off

Clough also didn't get the Leeds job because the club was in turmoil, with everyone sticking the knife into Revie, leading the way for Cloughie to seize the perfect moment simultaneously gain power AND expose himself as someone whose ambition far outweighed his intellect
Revie just left to take the England managers job and Cloughie was a proven winner at Derby

Liz Truss on a car bonnet? Give over, I've just had me lunch!
