Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

[Mad Doug Biker]

Are Minis exported to Ireland with Union Jack tail lights?

And do they have a Black And Tan option for the paint finish?

How sharp is the sharpest point? We all think a pin is sharp but it isn't. A scapel is sharp but it isn't. Is the sharpest point found in nature or manufacturing and how do we measure it?!!

Well I've got some Brambles in my garden that are a b*stard as is the Dogrose.

Why isn't the thread named "Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial it would be to just Google the answer"?

Because Google doesn't always have the answer.

Because Google doesn't always have the answer.

Only Smarties have the answer.

I think it's the probe of a scanning tunneling microscope which has single atom sharpness.

Why is Strava's automatic flagging system so carp, making it think activities like https://www.strava.com/activities/6535296716/overview are on a UK legal ebike?

The problem with ebikes is that even the legal ones have different levels of assist and the level cannot really be logged

I have had rides where I have been in Eco for 25% of it then slowed down for some walkers and put it in "Off" mode and forgot to take it out
but it gets logged the same as the ones where I have been feeling bad and had it in Sports mode the whole way!

Still better to have them in a separate category than "proper" bike rides

It was a serious question. Vauxhall's used to be rebadged as Opels for the Irish market.

 

[DaveReading]

Why do we go from quarter finals to semi finals and not half finals?

In music competitions, do they have semisemifinals ?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

In music competitions, do they have semisemifinals ?

Or Semiquaver Finals?

Nah, Semidemifinals

They were Opels in all except the UK market.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Is that where contestants have to get a semi at Demi Moore?

They were Opels in all except the UK market.

There were Vauxhall dealerships in Northern Ireland and Opel dealerships in the Republic selling identical cars. They were probably made on the same production line. It must have been done for a reason.
