       @libreoffice @tdforg Meritocracy is attractive to those who believe themselves to be meritorious enough to have the right to decide who else shall be considered meritorious.  Not so much to people who are used to being considered unmeritorious, or just have an interest in democracy.I did try to read the blog, but since the page consisted solely of a rather stylish spinning graphic I have to assume that I am not considered sufficiently meritorious to even read your thoughts on the subject. 🤷

       @TechConnectify Location issues are weird, eh?"...a shockingly consistent 34 miles per gallon..." from a 2021 hybrid?  And that's 50% more range than its predecessor...?But ... it's worse than most plain ICEs since about 1990, equal to my 1987 Citroen, long gone, worse than my current crappy old (2005) Renault (c.45mpg in Summer, maybe 42 in Winter, until you do long journeys when it can get up to 59 with a tailwind).

       @TechConnectify I wasn't sure but have checked.  Good point.So 34mpg(US) = 40.8mpg(IMP)?It beats the 1987 Citroen, certainly.  I note later you mention that it's a 2.5L engine; presumably that's a part of why it's still behind the 16-year-older Renault ICE.  (Which is also what you're calling a minivan, though that's not how I'm used to the word being applied.)Other than the slightly shocking realisation that hybrids may be heavier on the juice than I'd expect, nice video btw. 🙂
