Ban brake fluid because if it leaks onto the exhaust it will cause a fire. |

I think the road ahead is becoming clearer. I think the Tory party has resigned itself to losing the 2024 General Election, following a series of disasters - most, but not all, of which were their own fault. I think they'll actually be quite pleased to retire from the front line, catch their breath, and regroup. Then, it'll be Labour's turn. And they'll find that the Tories have left behind a slew of fiscal landmines in the road ahead, just as George Osborne did in 2015. What happens at the following General Election, in 2029, depends on how Labour play it for the next five years. If Labour crack on with getting things working again (which will be eye-wateringly expensive), the Tories will campaign against "the party of high taxes" - without mentioning any positive achievement from those taxes. If Labour grit their teeth, and press on with the austerity package, the Tories will campaign against "the party who presided over a country in decay and decline, and did nothing about it" - without saying a word about who caused it in the first place. It's going to be bloody. |

Tesla delivered on electric semi trucks yesterday Tesla delivered its first Tesla Semi electric trucks to customers and revealed details of its production version of the vehicle – delivering on a five-year-old promise. Of course, we won't see anything more about them no matter how successful until there's a fire. :^p ![]() |

I remember back in the early 80's seeing a semitrailer with smoking brake about 5 car lengths ahead of me as I drove down through the Chattanooga mountains towards Georgia. The semi ended up using the emergency sand pit/ditch off to the right side of the road. |
