I don't know why people say regex is hard. I simply had to change

(?:\/.*)?\/(.*)\/?/

to

(?:\/.*?)?\/(.+)\/?/

and it all worked fine. 😬

@arstechnica if GM release an EV 3rd gen Firebird lookalike at reasonable prices with reasonable non idiotically overpowered motors (I don’t need 1200hp!) count me in 😄

Just worked out that if storage cost as much as it did in 1990 when I had a 20MB hard drive, all the storage in my house would cost £660,000,000.

The original Atari VCS/2600 joystick. A classic device. The plastic ring inside was prone to snap when a bit too much force was used!

@KevEdwardsRetro mine 😃 sorry, a bit dusty. I tend to use Mega Drive pads with my 2600 instead.

@RemeJuan got that. 😀 I got killed on the second round… maybe I’m just too slow.

@RemeJuan give me all the tips!!! 😁 come to my house and kill that dragon for me 😅

@seanogrady I’d like to see small vans converted like this. That would be a really useful EV conversion. For a plumber or electrician, or someone who delivers light cargo locally that would be perfect.

@seanogrady these trucks are as basic a conversion as it gets. They are powered by an electric motor attached directly to the diff housing on the back axle. For delivering things locally if you get a tax break, sure this is fine. For any other purpose like overlanding, or towing these really aren’t that suitable. But they are interesting!!! I’m looking forward to the first fully EV Ford Maverick, that should be the first affordable small EV truck for the masses that isn’t too compromised.
