Currently driving a (non-plugin) hybrid - Renault Clio - hire car and finding it a lot nicer than a horrible Aygo hybrid I hired years ago. Has lots of oomph when needing to floor it (like an EV) and a huge range (like an ICE). The transition between the two modes is barely noticeable (compared to the Aygo which had a massive delay when the ICE took over) and generally very comfortable drive overall.

What's the catch? Is longterm reliability an issue?

We're in the market for a new to us car and am not 100% sure an EV is right for us within our price range 10-15k SH.

Went to get a Dopamine T-shirt and they were sold out of mediums. How is that even possible?!

I've recently migrated an existing shiny.io project to Posit Cloud Connect to pre-emptively asses the new system before shiny disappears.

It worked fine initially, but it seems any writes to a tiny sqlite db embedded in the shiny app are not being preserved whenever the server shuts down.

It worked perfectly fine in shiny.io. Is this a known difference in Posit Cloud Connect and it only serves dynamic content without any persistence?

Many clothes come with buttons - shirts, trousers, jeans, jackets - but I don't think i've ever used one in almost 30 years of being an adult. I've also never got rid of clothing because a button fell off.

I do still keep those spares, but is there any point? Or am I unusually gentle on my buttons?

Is anyone in here a PI on a UKRI gap funded grant as a partner in an EU project and tried to get an extension?

Am currently on project and looks like we'll need to apply for an extension. I and the other UK co-Is are raising concerns about the feasibility of this. Anyone have any experience they can share?

Ever since the international switch off of BBC Sounds I've constantly experienced glitches, slow performance and errors.

It used to be really good. Now I'm finding I go for other sources to find podcasts and programmes to listen to.

Can't just be me. Is it?

Edit:
Don't know who flaired this as "international", but it isn't. Will change.

I've been regularly commuting 10 miles each way for 2-3 years now with an ebike and it's been great. I have been suffering a bit from dry and irritated eyes, and have come to the realisation recently that it's due to my cycling.

I wear prescription glasses so what options are there for decent wrap-arounds that I can wear over my normal glasses?
