Do you know anyone who has driven through roadworks? Would you do it?

Obviously the examples here are egregious but have you ever ignored the signs and barriers? The video in the article is wild.

Still, I know a couple of people who are mad impatient drivers but wouldn’t do this so but I’m a bit surprised that it’s 30 incursions a week. Seems a lot.

Is There a Guide to Sponsor Sticker Placement?

A few years ago, I remember reading a blog, website, or article which talked about how to place and size sponsor stickers for the most realistic effect. For example placing the tyre sponsor close to the wheels, and fuel and oil on the bonnet, etc. I’ve searched and AI’d the hell out of that this week but can’t find anything. Does anyone know a guide, or has written one, or can just offer some guidance on this?

I’m not a vinyl creator and I’d just like to make a livery which looks reasonably authentic using the standard stuff available in the game. I think it can still be done well and look good even if it isn’t fully bespoke.

Honestly, Apple intelligence had me worried about the next series

It needs to consolidate its headlines a bit better.

Nick Masons McLaren F1 GTR

This one looks easier said than done. It looks like a simple text but the way it wraps across multiple panels means it’s tougher than it looks. Could someone please recreate this for FH6 on a standard F1? Standard because it’s a prototype for, not an actual, long tail.

Operation Snap video evidence requirements

I have dashcam footage of someone running a red light in front of me. They pulled out into the opposite lane to go around someone who had stopped in front of them for the light. I have video footage running for a couple of minutes before but only about 30 seconds after. The vehicle is long gone in that time anyway.

Operation snap site is very clear about needing a minute before and a minute after.

Should I bother?

On the plus side they’re not restricting access to the storage.

Our Neighbour Has Planted These

Our neighbour (Scotland, UK) has planted a number of these in their garden next to the fence with us. There’s already a row of conifers something like 20 m high along the fence and these are now filling the gaps, are very dense, and block any sunlight into the garden and crowding out plants on our side. They look to be some sort of laurel, but I’d like to know what they are and how much taller they’re likely to grow. Grateful for any help.

Accessing High Cupboards

Hi all, looking for some advice on accessing the top cupboards in a run of high units. These are deep appliance housings so below them are fridge, freezer, ovens etc but the units extend to the (high) ceiling.

I have found something like this for traditional wall cupboards which are only 270mm deep https://eastcoastkitchens.co.uk/kitchen-cabinet-storage-solutions-/6771-500mm-kessebohmer-imove-double-oak-anthracite-kitchen-wall-pull-down.html

But obviously what I have is about 560 deep.

What solutions should I be looking for?

Ultimately expect I’ll just have to dig out the step stool, but any suggestions grateful received.
