@peemee I was going to use those Topaz Labs image and video manipulating software wonders but after doing that for a while I got bored with whole process. Future-proofing is a great excuse though.
@peemee I nearly always have my laptop in low power mode. Which begs the question 'why did I buy a strong machine?'
Scrap dealer/car breaker: how much do you want for it?
My brother: 300
Scrap dealer/car breaker: I'll give you 400.
My dad: I've never heard of a scrap dealer doing that!
Should I get a nifty, small-wheeled electric bike to replace my cumbersome one?
@matigo Most people here drive manuals (though not me), so going into a low gear on a down slope and feeling the engine braking is an every day thing. Therefore engine braking is just expected. Whether it’s a good thing, I don’t know. Lots of braking with the foot pedal certainly gets tiresome after a while. Mind you, my car has very sensitive brakes. That might be partly why I find them tiresome.
