My biggest driving hate were the people who didn't know that you're supposed to use motorway slip roads to accelerate up to the speed of the existing traffic and would instead move out onto the motorway at 40-50mph, expecting people already on there to brake/ make space for them.

I've not had a car for 3 years and it's honestly just one less thing to worry about.

Oh man, a few years ago I was accelerating down a looping slip road only to have a learner driver stopped dead right before joining the dualcarriage way. I poo poo a brick and had to then try and get from 0 to 60 in about 25 metres before merging (unsuccessfully, obvs)

I don't blame the learner, rather the lovely instructor who took them down there when they weren't ready.

Also people who brake to exit a motorway/DC onto a slip road... brake in the slip road you tits

Generally you don't take the racing line and corner at 175mph on your commute to work*, which I think is why changing gears irl is easier than in games

*if you do, let me know where so I can stab you

**if you both live and work at a racing circuit then I guess this is fine

The slip road from the m25 clockwise onto the m40 eastbound is a lovely little two lane decreasing radius number which is great for outbraking and overtaking round the outside the bmw that was tailgating you at 85mph a few miles back because they're too afraid to put a little heat in the tyres

Nobody's sure why exactly but the daily death rate has collapsed in the last couple of months and has remained in the single digits, even as cases rise again.

In my own mind, a rapidly spreading disease that's killing 1000 people a day is well worth altering your routine to avoid catching it; one that's killing 5-6 people a day is a lot more :shrug:

I guess a lot of people are feeling like that now?

the most vulnerable who were susceptible to it might already be dead. it killed what 60k people here? i assume we're gonna ger yearly outbreaks where it comes and kills tens of thousands, ravaging care homes etc, then goes away for a bit.

My (unsupported by scientific studies) opinion is that the virus is already mutating to become less deadly. We're all swarming with viruses constantly but we normally never notice, 'cos it's not in the 'interests' of the virus to actually kill their hosts.

I think in years to come, we'll have a corona season like we have the flu season now but it'll be people taking a couple of days off work to recover rather than ending up on ventilators in hospitals.

Partner and I went to the Steve McQueen exhibition at the tate modern. It's the first time we've been inside a public space longer than 5 mins since lockdown but we were comfortable going as you had to book in advance, everyone in masks, numbers managed + large rooms so we never had trouble keeping well away from others.

It was bloody lovely, even just the experience of putting on tidy clothes and leaving the house with a plan that wasnt groceries. The work itself was cool too, would recommend

The closer you get to the centre, the worse it gets. Was up in Chinatown (by Leicester Square) last Thursday and even on foot the junctions around that area are enough to make your head spin, almost literally in some places, because you have to look in about 7 loving directions to cross over without being hit by whatever traffic has suddenly materialised in the few moments you were looking out for other traffic.

At least you can cook stuff. My oven is completely and utterly hosed right now so I'm sinking into oblivion spending all my money on takeaways and spreading them out for two days at a time for the next loving week.
