Main topic aside, what are you doing putting bread and butter together with a fork?

All the small appliance suggestions so far are great - they remove a lot of the danger and give you an easy place to start. Same for the safety items. Even with no fear, it is sensible to have an extinguisher and fire blanket in the kitchen.

When you feel that you are ready to start picking up knives and working with flame, do it with a friend or family member that is suitably understanding & willing to teach. Simply watching it done is still familiarising yourself with the process and hopefully reducing your fears.

My sister is the same way - I am teaching her slowly. We started with baking, as all the prep work is done cold with only one heating process. Not exactly healthy, but it it gets the ball rolling on working with heat.

You'll love Anthracite Grey then.

For another arm of the empire, try Frontier - which focuses on Hudson's Bay Company.

Not that you should have to, but web results can be disabled in start search.

Winkey+R will open the no-frills run menu. As long as you know the exact exe or component name, you're good:

• notepad
• calc
• cmd
• control
• control userpasswords2
• mstsc
• ncpa.cpl
• diskmgmt.msc
• devmgmt.msc
• shutdown (with /s, /r or /h switches)

A few decent ones there.

However, voters don't listen to economists. If they're not happy with the status quo, they vote for disrupting the status quo even if experts tell them that that's a bad idea.

Sadly it does not stop them whining about the consequences of their poor decision-making.

I will never tire of beating 7 shades out of Anna Navarre on that plane. Though the killswitch method is flat out hilarious.

The Revision mod made DE even better.

Worth a replay with it on if you haven't already

I miss heated mirrors now that you mention it. My 2003 Civic had them but the 2012 Corsa does not. Joys of poverty spec - I'm lucky to have electric windows.

With good climate (not a rust belt) and being fortunate enough to not blow an engine, it should do well with diligent maintenance.

Mostly why mine still goes. The bodywork is utter crap - full of scratches, dings, dents and the front end looks like someone dropped a running belt sander on it. Ex write-off. Mechanically though it is sound.

My worry is the timing chain. Chains last longer than belts, but they are a dog to change and generally not worth the labour. It will be that or a crash that sends it to the great scrappy in the sky.

Mid-90s a bit too early for me. I am fond of ABS (mandatory here since '04) and airbags ('98) at the very least. Not always a guarantee on cars of that era. Love the looks though.

Best of luck with your teenager.

It's a good point.

I'd hazard a guess that they are more in the minority than before though. Closest I have seen is friend-of-a-friend referrals for nominal cost pirate IPTV services that provide cable channels & movies. Even then they are paid, and most invite trouble by just going at it without a VPN. Current going rate is £50 for a year here - bring your own Fire stick.

Funny you should mention Synology though, ours is running an Emby server for media here. Having everything properly catalogued (and presented with flair) is fantastic.

Indeed.

Safety systems are just fine.

ABS, lane deviation warnings, automatic braking and the like all actively prevent accidents - without being an annoyance to the driver, if implemented well. That tech is mature now and generally ok across the board.

I dislike all kinds of cruise and attempts at self driving though. More of a personal preference, but I think it makes the driver cede too much of their control to the vehicle - allowing them to become more easily distracted and less able to notice incoming hazards that the vehicle might not.
