I'm not deaf.

We're digressing from the original disagreement

no, my argument is that it doesn’t matter what sound it makes as long as it makes a sound.

I believe it is important for vehicles to sound like vehicles, so they can be easily identified. They shouldn't be randomly changed by their owner to something whimsical.

You don't have right of way in a vehicle when the light is green - pedestrians still have right of way.

There was no "splash splashy of wheels on the pavement" because the car was in the road, not the pavement.

There were plenty of "splashy splashy" noises around, because there were lots of vehicles. The "bouncy bounce" of rain on that car was easily confused with the "bouncy bounce" of rain of every other car/surface/building/person in the area.

I'm not sure if you're intentionally being moronic, or if you genuinely feel like you know more about the situation of my accident than I do. The fact remains that electric vehicles shouldn't simply be able to make some random noise. They need to be audible and recognisable to prevent accidents.

Completely impractical. Standardise noises for warnings. I'm not going to react to the sound of Nyan Cat played on the Bagpipes and think "oh that's a car coming".

Also, pedestrians DO have the right of way. How do I know? I got hit by a driver at night in the rain, with his lights off, coasting in neutral. Couldn't hear him, couldn't see him. Court settled in my favour.

The number of doctors is irrelevant. The point is that some things are worth far, far more than a single extra 0.

I would give 1000 hours of my time to a surgeon if it meant they saved the life of my partner. I don't care if it only took them 60 seconds.

Some things are far, far more valuable than a single extra 0.

Heat pumps move heat around, whereas radiators create it.

The "efficiency" of heatpumps relates to heat they import into a system for a given amount of power, compared to creating heat with that power. They are not generating that heat. They are moving it.

Similarly, it's much more energy efficient to use a wheelbarrow to collect ice and move it inside, than it is to make ice cubes in freezer.

Nah, you were trying to shit on something and point out flaws with a hypothetical product wihout even bothering to read about it. You got called out on talking shite - don't take the hump.

A moon pool or a regular one?

Just a regular one, but I imagine they'll add one if you ask for it.

That just means you're commenting on something without knowing anything about it, and so far everything you've commented has been incorrect?

It comes with two boats, jetskis, a helipad, and the ability to surface. You're not trapped in a hotel with no windows. It's not pitch black. You have ways to leave. It would have taken less time to learn this by reading the article than it would have taken to type this bollocks.

Not so. You should really look at the info before commenting lol.

"It's got no windows!" - there are windows pretty clearly visible in the renders.

"There's no light down there!" - it tops out at 250m, light reaches about 800m.

It has windows.

Clarification: the bogus AI images they've got have windows in the viewing gallery. It's all bullshit though - it features the images from SAFE that are allso bullshit but keep popping up in various articles, notably* the MRI room.
