Probably. The lettering is also not consistent and the shadows are going in the wrong direction

The American one seems to match this, which has "National Climatic Data Center's U.S. Stations 1961-1990 Monthly Normals for the Atypical Climate Elements" as its source.

The European one seems to be from this Wikimedia Commons user, but they never specified their source beyond "according to national data"

They're actually not bad for space! I'm about 1.9m / 6'3", and while I'm not that heavily-built I'm definitely not unusually slim. It wasn't roomy for sure, but I fit just fine. The lack of a roof did at least mean that headroom wasn't a concern

I did once have to back out of a purchase of a second gen Toyota MR2 because I was too tall. That was a deeply disappointing day

I'm in the UK where people do have an unfortunate obsession with SUVs but we mostly don't have the really enormous American ones. Since our roads tend to be significantly narrower than American ones - especially in rural areas and older towns - when you do see one of those big trucks like a Hummer or something they just look like they got lost and are now stuck

Couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. I only know about the game because I happened to be in a pub where it was on the TV at the time

Those are the names of the German footballers (soccer) that scored to make probably the worst defeat the Brazilian team has ever suffered

Much as I do agree with everyone talking about public transport here on an actual sensible and rational level, I do still like cars and driving no matter how much I agree that the world would be a better place were they rendered irrelevant.

So in the spirit of the question: the Morgan Supersport. It looks magnificent, Morgans are supposed to be great to drive, it's quite small and still fairly luxurious, it's pretty fast but not so fast that it becomes functionally unusable on actual roads, and the company still describes itself as a coachbuilder so you can tweak every little detail to your pleasing

There's a place near-ish me that offers them for hire for a day. They're every bit as fun as you'd expect. Exhausting, but fun

Octopus is a solid choice. For me, it has to be a crow:

  • Very intelligent
  • Can goddamn fly
  • Hang out with their friends a lot
  • Do a lot of stuff just for fun
  • Natural stylish goth look
  • Capable of mimicking most sounds, choose to just yell at things anyway

The prize for winning is the cheese that they're all chasing. She's just that committed to hurling herself down a hill for the pure love of the game, apparently

 

Careful with your bonfires if you're doing one

 

Extra mature cheddar, pink lady apple, rocket, and homemade onion chutney on some also homemade bread. Insides of the bread toasted just a little to give it a bit more structure.

This is a direct response to the awful thing posted in !memes yesterday
