He's going to fake his own death to get out of this, isn't he?

Thin base, pistachio, rosemary, and green pesto base (no tomato). For topping honey, thyme, and goats cheese.

I still run ubuntu on my main work desktop and will likely do so until I replace it with a new one as I cannot face rebuilding it at this point in time. I like its broad support, its ease of install and use, but its becoming increasingly annoying having to disable all the enforced decisions the maintainers make, such as snap, ubuntu pro ads and so on. My fear is at some point it will not be reversible

Obviously people were taking screenshots of films and then stitching them together to make gifs for entire 2 hour films, so this is all about stopping piracy! /s

If it runs QMK I would port to vial over via any day of the week, cannot stand via. Granted I need to run the app when I want to adjust the key map (and only then), but it removes the need for WebHID or any similar problems. I have been able to replace my custom mapping and macros then compiling my own custom QMK firmware and uploading it to the keyboard workflow with live editing of the map and macros.

Most rooms in my house each have at least a handful of different, indirect lighting solutions. I could pay an electrician to wire them all to a single mains switch, but then I would need them to come back whenever I want it changing. It would also be more complicated to have dimmers and set programs for different times of the day to to adjust the lighting to a number of presets.

I could just have the one or two overhead lights that these rooms came with, but that's just an unpleasant to look at experience to my eyes all of the overhead lights got replaced with ceiling fans that have no lighting that come on when the room is occupied and over a certain temp.

You walk in the room, a bunch of lights and may be a fan come on at the right lighting for that time of the day, then they go off at a suitable period of time. I even have all my garden lighting coming on via motion despite some of it being a separate 12v system that's battery and solar powered via a 12v zigabee multi channel relay.

Also worth pointing out that Mazepin offered more money for FI than Stroll yet the administrators decided Stroll was the better long term owner for the company and sold to him instead, in a remarkable common sense over profit decision. If Mazepin had succeeded in purchasing FI then Stroll would have likely stayed at Williams.

Hozelock adjustable long spray lance, absolutely unfit for purpose, disposable garbage that broke after 3 months.

Last refund was a nightmare as it was a purchase from Amazon and outside their 30 day window, so initially they did not want to accept the return and directed me to the manufacturer. Hozelock just refused to engage, and directed me back to Amazon, endless loop. After going round this loop I then complaining to Amazon for a solid 10 minutes and they eventually agreed to pay for pick up of the item then refund when it was picked up.

Replaced it with a more expensive Dramm lance that every part is user replaceable with available spare parts, and much less plastic components.

It's not impossible that Lando pulls this off but it requires that Merc and Ferrari don't take even a single race win from him, and Max and Oscar don't either, oh and no dnfs. It's just really unlikely with how this season has gone. He really needs max ro dnf at least once to make it much more likely.

Super rich for me is being able to run a motor yacht that's typically way over 100 feet with 4 or more crew on average of 100k each. Captain might be on anything up to 250k with a decent tonnage license and experience. High chance of a chase boat with its own separate crew.

The running costs of that boat would bankrupt even a decently wealthy millionaire in a year or two.

Rich is being able to run a modern 50 foot plus motor yacht for coastal cruising without a crew. Or a recent 50 foot sailboat with all the trimmings like an oyster.

But those are just my definitions.

I think idiots like bezos with his pathetic cosplay of a sailing boat that can't even sail with more than one mast unfurled really don't help the perception of sailing with the super rich.

We need more boats like the black pearl that can actually sail and be off grid on renewables for proper ocean crossing. Shame that most super rich just fly to their boat rather than actually crossing the oceans on them.

Oh, sorry, I meant in a single race, assuming you wanted to see him banned. I think if they are totally separate, then they won't make any leeway with reducing the points.

You could achieve an immediate race ban if you did something pretty egarious like ramming drivers off the road. I would say if he intentionally collided with the leaders as they lapped him, it would do it.

Otherwise, you get points for each separate offence, so he just needs 4 or 5 serious incidents.

Spoiler, its RDT

In case people do nto know what RDT is, which they really should if they have been into coffee for a little while as it makes a big difference:

RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

 

The postman delivered a new to me DF83 Gen 1 with SSP HU burrs. Just had fun dialing it in over lunch for espresso. It is a huge step up from the Niche Zero it replaces for espresso.

 

Very interesting grinder for those that like to experiment with different burrs as it supports both conical and flat burrs. I think only the niche zero with a 3rd party kit did that so far?

Can't say it would replace multiple grinders with just one for me as it still takes too long to switch over but I could definitely see myself switching burrs when I change over bags once or twice a month.
