I've had the odd situation where I have had to "accelerate out of danger". One I remember was a lorry (illegally) pulling out into lane 2 on a French motorway (most are only 2 lanes) despite me being in the space he wanted at the time, and too far forward alongside him for braking to be the better idea. I was certainly glad on that day to be in an Aston Martin with the power to push it to 190 mph than my diesel Focus with fuck all.

The
numberinput type is specifically meant for incrementing/decrementing numbers, which makes it the wrong choice here.telis more appropriate. @duncs Can you add that to your test case? -
As it's not everyone, but (mainly) just you, it cannot be down singly to one of the page code, the device, the browser or the software version. I think we have exhausted that. It must be one of the above in combination with a currently unknown factor.
Is there anything else about how you browse the forum that is out of the ordinary. Are you using a VPN? What popup blockers do you use? Does it make any difference whether it's browsing via wifi or phone network? Does clearing cookies or clearing the cache make any difference? Try changing any of those things, one at a time, and see what changes.

The HTML for that input is a function of the time when the new forum was built, when there wasn't a standardised way to say "Number keyboard please, browser" and Apple suggested using the regex in the
patternattribute.<input type="text" min="1" value="817" max="817" step="1" pattern="\d*" title="Enter the page number to jump to" class="form-control">I've seen some discussion that this may trigger unexpected behaviour in combination with some personal setting, VPN or something else.
Nowadays you would use the
telinput type. (or theinputmodeattribute but Safari - naturally - doesn't support that)<input type="tel" min="1" value="817" max="817" step="1" title="Enter the page number to jump to" class="form-control">Maybe that simple change would solve the problem?
I cannot reproduce the bug so no point me making a pull request but that's what I would try changing first if I could actually test it.There would need to be manual validation of the min and max values as they don't actually apply to
telinputs. -
Is it not a bit risky drinking that much in France nowadays?
Not if your wife is driving you back. :-)
Seriously though, drink driving is endemic in the countryside. It's best, if you have to drive between 1 and 3pm to assume that everyone on the road is pissed. The older the driver the drunker he will be. It's hard to tell in a country with such poor driving standards anyway.
The guy we bought our house from only sold it because his kids took his car keys away, at the age of 90. He had been merrily driving from mate's house, to bar, to cafe every day drinking wine at each place and coming home ratarsed.

I've been out and about in the Mini over the last couple of weeks, and gradually adding more shiny bits.
On my birthday, having replaced the fuel level sender unit, we filled the fuel tank and took it for lunch in an excellent restaurant in a local village.The Mini had 20 litres of 98 RON from Intermarché, whilst my wife and I had l'Œuf mollet et pané sur salade de lentille du Puy, followed by Pavé de bœuf Limousin et millefeuille de pommes de terre and for desert Fondant au chocolat et caramel beurre salé, all accompanied by a delicious bottle of 2019 Chateau Fleur d'Eymerits Lalande de Pomerol.

better for simmering
This has never been my experience.
All the induction hobs I've used are shite for simmering. And as for trying to get a proper rolling boil for cooking pasta, it's either not boiling, or boiling so much that it boils over, and it seems like using the same setting as seemed to work an hour ago now has a completely different behaviour pattern. -

For me it is the Aston Martin DB4 Vantage I snapped on a street in St. John's Wood. Posted a long way upthread.
Or, stretching a point, the Hesketh F1 car that James Hunt raced which was parked outside Arbuthnot Latham near Liverpool Street, for some event, which was doubly cool because I got to meet his sons too.

Plain slotted screws have no place outside of antique furniture.
Philips is for old cars.I like Pozi but Torx has its place.
On this subject, why is it that most people only use Pozi screws, but only have Philips drivers? It really bugs me when I am fixing stuff at e.g. my father in law's house. Buy the correct screwdrivers!

I had one for my Porsche, and it was essential to keeping the thing topped up. I think it was made by Ring.
My Aston needed something more substantial so it got plugged into the mains, via a C-Tek something or other.
Nowadays none of my cars need such frippery. The Citroens divert power away from high-drain things to ensure the starter will have enough juice, and the Mini doesn't have anything electrical beyond the radio presets when it is switched off. -

I don't know about the newer ones but the cameras on my iPhone 11 Pro are fucking amazing.
I won a photography competition with one a few years ago.
