Question:
It's time to get back to the car questions. Do I need to fear an underwater attack?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
The answer to this question is indeed yes. I need to have an anti submarine device fitted to the car. No, not depth charges, but something that stops you sliding under the lap belt if you use a harness. A full harness is either a 5 point or a 6 point, however you need seats that accommodate this. My seats will fit a 4 point harness as they have the holes at the top of the seat backs. The issue with a 4 point harness is that they stop your shoulders from coming forward in a crash and actually push you down under the lap belt so you go under the restraint (submarining). What a 5 or 6 point does is have 1 or 2 straps between your legs going through the seat to the floor. This enables your testicles to stop you from sliding down. Probably with a force of 10x your weight, so you will live, but might talk in a higher pitched voice. You can, however, get 4 point harnesses with anti submarine features. What happens with your regular 3 point seatbelts in a car is that you come forward and twist a little, preventing you from slipping down below the lap belt. The ASM harnesses have one of the straps with additional webbing that will give in an impact causing you to twist and not drop under.

Question:
I'm getting a little worried for the universe as things seem to be being left a little late. When will I get my super powers so I can fulfill my destiny?
Results:
2 days (with Prime) was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- 2 days (with Prime) (50%)
- 5-8 days (free shipping) (25%)
- Next Month (25%)
- Before end of the year (0%)
- Next Year (0%)
- Within 10 years (0%)
- Never (0%)
Analysis:
This was indeed a trick question as I obviously already have my super powers. No need to wait for any delivery. My super powers include the ability to put on weight without trying, turn my hair grey and to expel large quantities of gas from my bottom while making a trumpeting noise. The latter of these super powers appears to be set to automatic these days which can make for some nervous moments.

Question:
It's all fun until somebody gets hurt. That's what they say when you play games. Well, Luke and Paul were playing Sea of Thieves with William, but does William think Luke and Paul know how to play Sea of Thieves?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (100%)
Analysis:
A unanimous vote for no, William doesn't think that Luke and Paul know how to play Sea of Thieves. Well, that would be correct. He listed off several reasons that I really didn't listen to, but one did amuse me and that was that they were not creating private chats, so everything they say can be heard by anyone on the game. I just have this feeling that many people have been subjected to drunken conversations.

Question:
I've been contemplating time now for a while. I'm probably wrong, but I'm definitely of the belief that gravity = time. Gravity is simply the mechanism that pulls us through time or at least what we perceive as time. Easier to understand when you contemplate something 2 dimensional falling through 3 dimensions, but probably takes a bit of explaining which I'm not going to do here. The challenge with time is that an abundance of it leads to spending copious amounts of money on crap that you don't need on Amazon. One could conclude that excess time = more online spending = more money for Amazon. Is Jeff Bezos gravity itself?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Yes indeedy! The world does now evolve around Jeff Bezos and not the other way around. Got to give him credit, he's really hit some of the best business ideas of late with the marketplace and AWS.

Question:
A week in the Bay Area and I'm looking forward to another trip to Sonoma Raceway next weekend. My tire tread doesn't seem to be wearing evenly. I'm going to squeeze this event out before I switch tires, but the big question I need to answer is do I need to add more camber to my front wheels?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
This is still an interesting question. Well, for me anyway. Nobody else gives a shit which is fair enough. I took tire temps at Sonoma this weekend and they seemed to be pretty consistent across the wheel indicating that the camber is where it's supposed to be. I need to check tire temps next time out at Thunderhill and make a decision based on that.

Question:
The addiction to track driving seems to continue. I'm looking to book two days a month on the weekends I don't have William. Next one is booked, but looking at the one after and there's the opportunity to run at Buttonwillow. A toxic waste dump three and a half hours drive away. Do I take the plunge and run at Buttonwillow in a month?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
I have indeed taken the plunge and booked a session at Buttonwillow. All being well, I'll be there in 3 weeks to try out the track. Actually really looking forward to the track as it looks very interesting.

Question:
Definitely buying a house is the biggest thing on my mind. Keeping finding houses that are almost right, but I'm holding off until I really feel that I've got the one I want. One I looked at this weekend was pretty good, but appeared to have a potentially dodgy entry. Would you buy a house if it meant you had to go up Barrymore to get there?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (100%)
Analysis:
Hmmm. Nobody wants to go up Barrymore. Rather odd as I think many people have.

Question:
This week we're going to branch out and have a culinary question. I was gifted a packet of Tim Tam chocolate biscuits that I thoroughly enjoyed. Have you ever had Tim Tam chocolate biscuits?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
I'm quite surprised by this. I figured Mr O would have had them on one of his many trips down under given that these are an Australian treat. Didn't think anyone else would have come across them (ooh err, soggy biscuit). Anyway, I thought they were great. Hopefully those of you that tried them enjoyed them too.

Vote #629
Question:
The struggle continues as I look for a housing solution. I took William to see a house today and his concern about it was that the 2 bathrooms (the en suite and shared) were back to back. His concern was that if he and I went for a poo at the same time, it might be hard to listen to your own YouTube without hearing the other. No concern about the noise or smell, just being able to listen to YouTube in peace. Is the ability to listen to YouTube in private while you take a shit a critical house buying decision?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
Duly noted. I will take this into consideration before making a purchase. Although I think it's more than likely I'm going to end up renting somewhere instead.

Question:
Work has become extremely busy, which is a good thing. I'm heading out to Apple tomorrow to see what's up there. Should I ask Apple to remove the ability to like texts?
Results:
Don't care was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (25%)
- No (25%)
- Don't care (50%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
An emphatic don't care from Mr O. Obviously he's not been spammed with like's from Apple users. It does get somewhat annoying. Had to laugh, it's really annoyed William, so his friends like all his texts from now on, then unlike them, then like them again ....
