Yes

This is standard motoring journo clickbait.

There is not a hope in hell that speed limits will be increased and the entire premise that ‘speed doesn’t kill’ is not supported by the science.

The National Road Safety Partnership Program’s number one recommendation is that speed limits should be lowered.

The West Australian Centre for Road Safety Research says “A vehicle’s speed has a major influence on the risk and severity of road crashes and crash related injuries”.

The claim that vehicles are newer and safer because they have new technologies is also pretty shaky:

• Blind spot warning became mandatory in 2023
• Lane assist became mandatory in 2024
• Adaptive cruise control is not mandatory

41% of vehicles registered in NSW are more than 11 years old

Does that make this the sequel to the sequel?

And I’ll argue it’s on-prem even if you don’t have the physical server in your building

I think the JST and Molex recommendations are on point, in case you’re after another option I use Tamiya connectors for 12v car chargers

Thanks, I’ll check it out

Thanks, if none of the parents are already using Signal I could get them to verify their own phone numbers - but that’s me assuming one-off SMS verification, not if you have to keep the SIM in the phone

I can easily get phone numbers to register a messenger account or similar, but not so interested in an ongoing cost like a dumb phone

None of the families are really home server types, so I would have to maintain any server client solution for them which is less than ideal

Is discord better than messenger, whether it’s ease of use, quality, privacy etc.?

I have a few old Android phones around, and having a phone service would be a recurring cost (albeit small)

I also thought that having Messenger would restrict the calls to numbers that had already been connected to the account, rather than trying to restrict the numbers a phone can call

That’s because the Beatles broke up in 1970, so anyone who remembers them from their active years is well over 60, which would be really stretching the definition of middle-aged

I find Simpsons Hit and Run isn’t getting any younger
