I would like a messaging service that was username based. That would add another level of privacy. It would stop apps from raiding your contacts lists to import new connections.

If I was a chef I would be installing induction stoves not gas to help keep the kitchen cooler. It’s hard to aircon a kitchen because they have massive extraction fans to suck the gas fumes out as well as the cool air. With and induction stoves smaller extraction fans will be ok.

Looks like a euro only version. I think a hatch is infinitely more practical than a sedan.
I’m driving an i30 hatch at the moment. I see people in the sedan version and just assume they have a head full of rocks.
