  • I mostly agree with you. And I commend your principles.

    Some of your examples need improving is all I’ll say.

    Like sending a white guy to the equator for a decade. Okay fine, they go dark skinned. But bring him back up north and he is white again. Send a super dark skinned guy far north and he will get somewhat paler, so it works both ways. But they retain that difference because they are different.

    We have developed differences mostly based on our origin in the world, be it Asian, African, Egyptian, Indian, etc, but we are such an internationally mixed people the differences are meaningless.

    We are all different, I don’t know how you can deny that. And some differences can depend on where your ancestors are from.

    If it’s not “race” then is there another way of describing it?

    In animals we call it breeds. Sounds weird.

    I think as an advanced species we should be capable of ascending beyond the descriminating behaviour based on origin. I know it’s possible as I can. Seeing other people first reactions to meeting people get described with race undertones is alien to me and feels disrespectful.

  • What are you charging with? I have a 208E and whilst I have issues with it, charging speed isn’t one of them. Will usually receive 75+KWh at a fast charger (registers as 300+ mph on the dash). My home 7KWh charger will charge the car from practically flat to 90% in 5 hours (registers as 28mph on dash).

    What actually drives me mad about this car is

    • You can’t go into reverse unless you are at a dead stop. Do as your told please.
    • The keys will unlock the car by proximity which also interrupts charging. Some chargers don’t recover so I have to do the reconnect dance (and pay the prepay again)
    • I don’t ever use the radio, but it always comes on when I start the car, FFS
    • When using cruise control it will complain that I need to hold the steering wheel. Well I am! I have to move my hands all over the steering wheel or it will cancel cruise.
    • Related to previous, but if cruise gets cancelled, so does lane keeping.
    • I wish it remembered to keep regenerative braking enabled. I feel like a jet pilot going through start up motions each time I start the car.
    • The auto braking system can be a bit trigger happy and try and break my neck.
    • The speed camera warnings are really good. But the chirping sound it makes can be deafening. Why does it keep going to max volume?
    • The Peugeot app is less than useless. Has a good list of features, but it is unreliable.

    Probably more. I like the look of the car. It drives great. It’s nippy from a stand still. Range is shit. Overall 6/10.

    I expect in those 4 years, irreparable damage will have been done to Americas reputation and social security structure. Minds will have been propaganda’d into accepting their new reality.

    That is even if elections take place in 4 years. I totally expect a Putin style reign with the 2 term limit abolished or just plain ignored.
