I went to a ceramics museum today. Here are some of my favorite pieces. Yes, that sock is ceramic. I have no idea how they did it.

I have worked in some places where people are happy to help each other out with work things, and some places where any request is treated like a huge imposition.

I wonder what leads to that difference in workplace culture. The places where people are helpful to each other are so much nicer to work at.

tesla owners finally complaining about some of the cars' features bc apparently your spouse can watch your car's progress on the app at home and see where you stop. you can even see which seats are being used so "both backseats" suddenly registering on the "heat map" is giving away the cheating lol

Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher. (climate.ec.europa.eu)

Today, we’re sticking with the first-generation B1 Volkswagen Passat in the form of the ‘Variant’ estate/station wagon model. I snapped this 1974 example at Techno Classica Essen last year. This particular B1 is lovely but slow - 1.3 litres, 55 horsepower, 0-100 Km/h in 18 seconds. Top speed 145 Km. I’d still have one though. Going fast is so over-rated. Nine generations later, the current Passat is estate-only.

A few weeks ago, I was explaining how Renault, with the R4, R6 and R16 was one of the pioneers in the introduction of a then-new body type, the hatchback. But long before that, the company had been experimenting with new, more spacious and practical types of vehicle than the three-box sedan/saloon, such as this, the 1959 Projet 900, with its rear-mounted 1.7-litre V8 (yes, really), snapped here at #Retromobile Paris, 2014. Weird back-to-front styling.
