Rental car for South island NZ, MG Excite. Unfortunately we’d just had a hybrid in North island NZ, and had been spoiled by it’s good fuel economy and responsiveness, amongst other things.
This car had a label insisting on 95, not just 91. In NZ, fuel is fucking expensive, let alone premium. It also felt like we were filling up every day or at least every other day, whilst back up in North island we’d filled once every three to four days.
It also handled like a turd, wired android auto was unreliable and crashed all the time so we had to reset the head unit multiple times a day, its driver assist was way too fucking interventionist and couldn’t be disabled without being at a complete stop (said it could do it if below the speed limit but always said you were above it??)…
Just terrible.

Or at least, that’s what’s been the scuttlebutt about the affair.
Kanzar@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•does anyone have "smart glasses"? are there any that are discreet and cannot be heard by others near you?English13·1 year agoI have them. They aren’t half bad, but it is possible at louder volumes for others to hear.
Perhaps OP should get bone conduction buds, but that may make it hard to wear the glasses.
You say you look “pretty” white, that’s like how “not really” isn’t a “no”.
When my white colleagues get asked “this”, it’s more “are you a local boy/girl?” (just country things…). When my non-white colleagues get asked “where are you from?”, they’re not satisfied with a location somewhere in Australia.
Apparently, for a lot of white Australians, you need to be white to be Australian.

We went with their black and white MFC which also does double sided ADF scanning… and I recently had a bit of FOMO when a colour MFC went on sale (ofc, for like three-four times the price, and at that price I might as well just print colour at a local print shop).

The airpods looked ridiculous. Now they’re a fashion statement. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh wow dunno where you are but you lot must be spoiled haha… and I already consider ourselves spoiled compared to the States, apparently bog standard there is like 87??
But yeah, Australia and NZ has E10 (didn’t quite see this in NZ), 91, 95, 98 (and diesel).
