I have no clue. However, turning a heater on is not the same as starting an engine.

Hope EU does not let this slide for far longer..

You're out of luck with the remote start feature. Remote start is not allowed in the EU because it is unnecessary wear and tear on the engine, a waste of fuel and adds to air pollution.

Before my inbox explodes, I understand there are places that get unbelievably cold, and warming the car before the fragile human gets in is preferable, nevertheless, cars warm up faster and more economically when driven.

more money on locks and security than anyone ever steals.

Many more things would go "walkies" if that money hadn't been spent, the argument is therefore moot.

The average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.

I have even shown people the difference between their browsing experience and mine, and still they can't be arsed to install an ad-blocker.

But then again, they use tiktok and Instagram and all the other brain-numbing shit out there.

Not a lawyer. By the letter of the law, yes.

They had to jump the fence - presumably the gate was secured - in order to get to the house. Further, they walked around the property looking for the owner. This looks to anyone without more knowledge, very much like trespassing.

Just my 2 cents, I'm not trying to defend or accuse anyone.

I need hearing aids. My aids are so small they fit completely in my ear, so unless you are standing up close, you can't see they are in. I've had them for about 3 years and I'm still blown away how small they are and how well they help me.

That is how apes open bananas too.

Not that I'm implying anything of course.

When driving don't be nice, be predictable.

Eg.: If you are on the priority road, drive - don't be nice and slow down to let someone in from a side road. That's how you get rear-ended.

He didn't say he started with COVID, he started 'and then came the pandemic'.
