Tesla's fastest charging battery, 15-80% charge in 10 mins. • Tesla wants to get to a <30 minute COPV tank refilling time, which will last ~5 seconds (single use before you have to refill it). • COPV uses an actuator from Tesla's Optimus robot • Roadster is capable of 0-60mph time of 0.55 seconds • 310-320 mile range • Up to 1,500 hp • Two motors, both on the rear axel • 10,000 psi COPV • 330+ mph top speed target • Rocket trim will be limited production • Almost every panel of the car moves in some way • Roadster is 2 meters wide • The pedals move for driver comfort. Seats are fixed • Brake-by-wire (and steer-by-wire) • Wireless phone charger • Heated seats • Next-gen heat pump • Tesla's thinnest headlights ever • Rear-wheel drive only, with 2 rear motors making 1+ megawatt & 1,400+ Nm, more than all 3 Plaid motors combined • No differential: each rear wheel is controlled independently through 8.4:1 planetary gears, with its own inverter • New 4680 cells with a special high-power chemistry, aluminum cans (instead of steel) & double-sided cooling • Titanium upper battery plate + aluminum lower plate • 800V architecture (same as Cybertruck & Semi) • 15-80% charge in 10 minutes, Tesla's fastest-charging battery ever • 300+ miles of range (battery size not disclosed) • Target of 25-30 minutes of unlimited track driving per charge • Weight just under 1,700 kg or 3,700 lbs (not final) • Double wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear, adaptive dampers • Track Mode lowers the car 40mm & makes it 3x stiffer • Pop-down headlights only ~15mm tall • Front wings move up to 80°, with pop-out side "scales" (barge boards) & an active hood vent • 4 rear fans (~20 kW each) + 4 drop-down side skirts form a "sucker system" for 2+ g of cornering from 0-50 mph • Skirts are replaceable rubber & nylon-bristle wear parts • Orange-tinted titanium-oxide rear glass, as used on aircraft • Removable roof panels • 4-5 prototypes built so far, with a bigger build planned early next year • Tesla calls it "the last great driver's car"

Do a kickflip!

Metallica are exactly like Ed Sheeran, spineless greedy fucks who do whatever their masters tell them. Except they are even worse because they are like 75 and their careers are pretty much over. But they still refuse to stand for anything.

Wait, the Hegseth firing squad guy is a paraplegic? They’re gonna shoot someone in a wheelchair on livestream?

WHEN YOUR PLANE FINALLY MAKES IT TO THE GATE IN LAS VEGAS @AmericanAir DURING THE DAY WELCOME TO THE REAL LAS VEGAS 😈

An Asian hornet was captured near Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork, fitted with a miniature radio transmitter, and released so National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) teams could track it back to its nest. The nest was located within hours on 2 October 2026 and is being removed. This is the same method used successfully elsewhere in Europe, turn one foraging worker into a tracker so the colony can be destroyed before new queens leave and overwinter. Asian hornets (Vespa velutina, also called yellow legged hornets) are not established in Ireland, but they keep arriving. A single specimen was found in Dublin in 2021. In 2025 there were 36 verified sightings, mainly in Cork, plus two nests (Cork city and Cobh) that were removed a nest was also found near Belfast. The 2026 Ringaskiddy finds show the early warning system is working, but only if people keep reporting. Why they matter? They are generalist predators of insects. Research on French nests estimated one colony can consume around 11 kg of insect biomass in a season, with honeybees often a large share of the prey. Hornets hover at hive entrances, seize returning foragers, and butcher them for protein to feed their larvae. Irish honeybees have no evolved defence against this, so pressure can cut foraging and, in heavily invaded parts of Europe, contribute to colony losses. They also take other pollinators. Officials stress they are not a major public-health threat: they rarely attack people unprovoked, though a sting is painful and can be serious for anyone allergic to wasp venom, and nests should never be disturbed. How to recognise one? >Roughly 25–30 mm long (workers), larger than a common wasp, smaller than the native European hornet (which is rare or absent in Ireland). >Dark body, mostly black or dark brown, with a single yellow/orange band on the abdomen and yellow legs (the key “yellow-legged” feature). >Face yellow-orange; wings dark. >Nests are often high in trees or on buildings, papery, and can grow large by late summer; primary nests start smaller and lower. Do not confuse them with native wasps, hoverflies, or the much yellower European hornet. What to do? Photograph it (or the nest) if you can do so safely, note the location, and report it. Do not try to catch or kill it yourself, and do not approach a nest. - Republic of Ireland: Report via the National Biodiversity Data Centre form at (Asian Hornet Reporter). - Northern Ireland: Asian Hornet Watch app or the NIEA/CEDaR routes. If you travel from Britain or continental Europe, check vehicles, luggage, and equipment before returning hornets hitchhike. Public photos and reports are what let rangers place bait stations, tag workers, and remove nests before the species gains a foothold.

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people

I have a model railway in the loft. Whenever my wife annoys me, I withdraw services to the station named after her.
