My nephew and I used to watch http://11foot8.com so I made him a scrapbook page. I'm starting to get some of my creativity back, slowly.

It's pretty complicated.

We actually need road transport. All sorts of everyday goods, including essentials such as food and clothing, are transported by road. If we increase taxes on #lorries, we get inflation and we worsen the cost-of-living crisis.

The reason I pick on #SUVs is that most people who drive them don't need them. Conspicuous consumption and the urge to bully other drivers off the road are not legitimate needs.

#EVs — yeah, they're heavy. Mine weighs 1.8t, and it's one of the lightest decent ones I could find. Reducing weight means reducing battery-count and therefore range, and that means fixing the over-priced, over-complicated, fragmented charging network we currently have. Prices should be substantially lower than they are now — they've been tweaked to make the cost of electric driving (just by coincidence) match the cost of petrol driving, mile-for-mile. When I can charge for 7p/kWh at home, I resent paying 90p/kWh for a public charger. I also refuse to use chargers that force me to give away my privacy by using an app. All chargers should clearly show the price per kWh, none of them should require an app, all of them should accept contactless payment, and none of them should be allowed to track drivers' locations.

I do like the idea of taxing vehicles by weight. To some degree, we already do that. I also think we should reduce speed limits for heavier vehicles more aggressively than we do now. Want a #RangeRover? Fine, you can have one, but your motorway speed limit is now 50mph to reduce the wear you impose on the tarmac and the damage you do in a collision.

I still can't find how to customise the window flag. There's a custom option but I can't find the file in either the custom pack or any reference to it on his site. Unless you need to buy the country flags DLC, but it should still show up on the website, right?

I don't get why ETS2 makes retexturing so complex. I used to do a lot of custom retextures on The Sims 2 and it was so easy. For clothing, you had Maxis's own tool and for objects, it was just a case of downloading SimPe and an extension and it took less than 10 minutes to learn how to retexture.

Why can't ETS2 be that simple? Just give us an in-house tool, SCS!

I made the little #DAF paper model for my nephew.

There were no instructions, so I had to figure out the deflector myself. I think it's not meant to look like that.

I'm playing #EuroTruckSimulator2 again. I can't be bothered waiting at red lights!* Just let me through! You! Car driver! Out my way! I have hazardous chemicals to transport! And I wanna do some sightseeing on the way! I'm such a terrible, reckless driver 😆 How has my logistics company not been sued into oblivion yet and why don't I have a criminal record? 😆

*I'm a very careful cyclist in real life, who always stops at reds, whether there's anyone waiting to cross or not.

What does it say that one of my first thoughts was whether those arrows in the logo correctly indicate the direction that the drum rotates?
