Clearly you’ve never had a novelty pen with a comically small biro inner due to limited space.

This isn’t how you handle automated processes scraping you, you handle that by restricting things that human beings can’t do. Preventing literally every user from seeing a reasonable amount of content is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The fun thing with Musk is it’s now impossible to determine whether he’s lying, doing something stupid, or simply inaccurately reporting something someone who actually knows what they’re talking about told him.

This isn’t how you handle automated processes scraping you, you handle that by restricting things that human beings can’t do. Preventing literally every user from seeing a reasonable amount of content is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. And it’s an ad-supported service. If nobody’s able to view content, they’re also not viewing ads.

With this move, he has truly achieved fractal wrongness.

Honestly, he’s right to be annoyed. Four races on the bounce unable to make Q3 in by far the quickest car is not bad luck. It’s carelessness.

I don’t think Sainz is doing poorly or anything, but he’s hardly setting the world on fire either. I’m not sure the leverage is particularly in his favour here, Ferrari have Leclerc already and there’s several drivers of at least the same or similar calibre to Sainz who they could look at as alternatives. So I’m not sure the threat really works. Not saying they’d definitely be looking elsewhere off their own back, just that if that’s his attitude they have no reason not to and they’d find other ways to go. Why rock the boat?

The more I hear about how these people operate, the more my internal screaming intensifies. Yeah, the ocean is inherently dangerous. That’s a reason to take all possible precautions, not a reason to pretend there’s no point in taking any. Sheesh.

You know, sometimes I wish your real parents were still alive. Not often, though.

Yeah, my friend and I had the same reaction. We loved it for the most part, but the ending was fairly disappointing because we hadn’t heard about it being a 2-Parter (I have found out since it was talked about early on, but we other didn’t encounter that info or simply forgot as they de-emphasised it in marketing later) and even if we’d known that was coming, it doesn’t really feel like a complete story with a cliffhanger. It just feels like they didn’t resolve much and you have to come back. Even Infinity War at least felt like there was a complete story within itself, it just left the state of the universe dangling for the sequel.

The lettering doesn’t scale very well. I assume it worked better for Mastodon World being “MW.” With this being “LW” the same stylisation looks fairly awkward, especially when scaled down.

Liked what they had to show a lot. Some of the little touches in things like the UI really impressed.

It was amazing, I’d never felt energy like it. Whole arena was absolutely buzzing with positivity

I was there for this! It was my first time seeing Taylor live
