…and if they can day that with a straight face, give them an Oscar!

(I say this as a kiwi looking from afar)

Holy crap, is it still working?

I thought nitter died…

Well, of course they are, but so is just about everything

Great thumbnail!

Dunno (or care!) about the rest of it. Kinda strange content for the technology community…

Okay, you win. That’s brilliant!

Far out, that’s poignant. 45m and relating hard

In fairness, I’m working quite hard and fantasising about being able to ‘check out’, so my scenario is more one of burnout rather than ‘not ignited’

…or we’ll eat you!

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!)

You are absolutely right!

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.

So stupid question - why does my speedo read ~3km faster than a radar thingy on the road?

Is that a safety margin thing or have i got the wrong tires installed (or similar)?

Holy crap - get to the point!

Amen!

Well, there was that time they included a rootkit in their audio CDs (this went on for a couple of years. Wikipedia)

…guilty as charged

The demo scene was always technically amazing

…how did I fail to see that coming?

Respect though - the world needs more eaters

This is a great idea at first glance - I’ve certainly had a few usb sticks come apart on removal

What were the useful scenarios, if you don’t mind?

Wow! That’s going to be some paperwork for someone… Aviation investigations don’t muck around
