Looks like road tar, is it getting warm out there?
Nah. At Portimao in October, the rear tyre was getting worked so hard, the rubber was forming into balls which moved to edge of tyre and thrown off.
The force was so strong that they implanted onto the seat unit despite the stupid wind speed.
This pic (today) doesn't quite do it justice as most have flown off

Money seems to arrive in all manner of unworthy corners, and plainly many of the recipients have no clue as to what might constitute a worthwhile use for it.
...
Pretty much the whole point of having money is the person with the money decides what is a useful or "worthwhile" use for it., not some tosser on a motorbike forum.

It's a sobering read, well, I say sobering, more like frightening, I'm all for making a pound note but the excess on display is troublesome (to anyone with a soul) when there are people literally starving to death.
How much did your latest watch cost you? How many hungry people could that have fed?
There's a great big plank in your eye.

Used to be the case you had no chance to compete simply cause you had the wrong surname or skin colour, so things have improved at least.

It's non of your business really, but what I gave to charity in the last year was a lot more than my last watch.
However, like I said in my quote above, I have no issue with people making money and having a comfortable life, we should all have equal opportunity to do that, but there is a limit and I bet my limit is lower than you think it is, anything I make over and above gets given away.
Amounts will differ depending on where you live, but when you create an environment of $79m houses and paying an 'influencer' six figures just to get your kid into a decent school, then something is broken, because the average person has no chance to compete.
Of course it's none of my business. It's your money to spend as you wish. But you and Brickie seem to think that some people aren't "worthy" and should do something else with their money, something "worthwhile", like feeding the hungry. Well, if you think they shouldn't spend THEIR money as THEY wish, why do you have an issue with somebody pointing out that the same rules should apply to you? I.e. you shouldn't spend YOUR money as YOU wish?
Is it because they are very rich and you are just rich?

My point was mainly that it doesn't look like a very comfortable room for entertaining, but it is true that I think wealth could be distributed a bit more equably without causing harm.
It would be a shame to have access to vast sums of excess wealth and to use it to bolt cars to your living room wall.
This thread seems to have some quite wide tangents....

Once you've bought a multi million pound Pagani, does it actually matter - economically speaking - if you drive it or bolt it to the wall? I doubt it makes much difference to the milage.

Can I redistribute your wealth? It won't cause you any harm, honest. No? Why not? Because you're not "rich"? You're probably richer than most people in the world, so why not?

But as a boomer that has caused most of the problems the world faces today, I’m not surprised you don’t see this, or see it as a problem.
Wow. I'm a straight, old, white male so you feel comfortable blaming me for most of the world's problems!
Wow, just wow! That is so fucked up!

I got a new phone and the software saves pictures as massive files (too big to load here) instead of smaller jpegs that I can upload, I haven’t worked out how to change it yet.
I upload pics I want to share here to a album on Friendface that only I can see, then save them back to the phone using the Friendface app, they're always just the right size to share here.

I think if you're going to get a totally impractical Morgan, you might as well go for the silly three wheeler.

Imjur does the trick for me. Other flavours may be available.

Every phone?
I've looked for it many times and never found a resize option in the default picture editor on my Pixel.
