Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance

Ignoring Max, Laura's the only one to make any accurate predictions after Checo's improved performance. Ferrari being Ferrari is detrimental to Alex and Sam.

Laura increases her lead as we head to Belgium for the last race before summer break.

There's a gif of random coloured splats covering it over. When it first went up it had a snoo with SPEZ written in white on a red background for its eyes. It was heavily brigaded. If you click on any random spot it's most likely a brand new bot account, or a bot account from last year.

Usenet was the first time I interacted with the internet as it was the only thing accessible from the Unix lab we had access to (email was available but we didn't use it). This was 1994. I was on alt.music.pink-floyd during the height of the PUBLIUS ENIGMA puzzle.

I kept using it up into the early 2000s. I'd jump on in the morning before going to work, and that's how I found out about 9/11 (it was 12:46am NZ time when the first tower was hit). I had gone to our local newsgroup for our city and there were messages in all caps "TOWER COLLAPSED" and then "BOTH TOWERS DOWN". I wondered what was going on, then turned on the TV where our main channel was feeding in the live news (I think it was CNN). We just sat there horrified, watching before we eventually went off to work.

I eventually stopped using it when web forums and other sites took over for me (fark, slashdot, metafilter) and then my ISP dropped support for it. Google Groups didn't mesh with me and I never went back.

When I first jumped on here and got my head around federation, it took me back to those Usenet days because in a sense this is almost the same. I've seen lots of people say "federation is like email", but to me it's like Usenet.

I've always called it Woolies. The logo is a "W' FFS

I keep getting stuck here all the time.

Just received the invoice from the sparky after our mains entry point burnt out and needed an after-hours replacement. It's in the ballpark I was expecting (in fact maybe a bit under), but not so high that it's worth going through house insurance to only save a couple of hundred once I pay the excess.

What's going to bake your noodle is whether you would bend the spoon if you ate the cookie.

Nyck getting the Latifi treatment...will be 21 out of 20 drivers.

I certainly used this feature. After reddit changed their front page algorithm and it broke I started hiding posts. According to my data export, I've hidden over 1 million posts.
