Because people like to express themselves. Were social creatures. You'd might as well ask why hats or different coloured fishing rods are part of this fishing game.

The better question is why were they using the car port? Most dashcams come with power adapters to plug into a standard fuse box and can be very easily routed through interior panels with basically no tools, no permanent modifications, and absolutely no expertise required.

Absolute worst case, a local garage will almost definitely do a fitting for less that £50 and it's worth it to avoid this exact thing happening.

Not at all! Nuclear is an excellent compliment to renewables and as a companion source to support the grid they are actually really effective. They're also really useful in situations where renewables just aren't an option such as large scale shipping. Obviously we haven't seen any nuclear container ships yet but that's mostly around startup and infrastructure costs as well as outdated regulations.

With small nuclear reactors becoming commonplace I wouldn't be supprised if we start to see nuclear shipping becoming a thing in industry in the next 20-50 years.

Its already been proven as a reliable, safe, and effective power source in a naval context. The main hangup people seem to have is with accidents at sea, however again, the militaries of the world have already proven nuclear reactors safe in a number of accidents where a nuclear vessel has been lost and the reactors shut down safely and did not cause release of nuclear material.

Tiny-whoop more reffers to a class of FPVs rather than any specific drone. They're small enough to be flown around indoors and typically weigh in at under 25g TOM. I guess you could use one for surveillance or scoping out a building in the field but defo not for combat lol

I've flown a number of drones and the best drone I've flown that clocks in under £100 is a tiny-whoop and they're absolutely not fit for combat lol.

Bit melodramatic. Even the real artists that midjourney actually stole from don't claim to have lost millions individually as a result.

For everyday use, sure, but for trolling they're just excellent!

I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is "if a burglar breaks in they wouldn't think to check the oven for valuables". Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I'd imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.
