Commentators saying this is the fifth time in a row. That's got to hurt. Stats like that building up are very noticeable and get bandied around by the people that matter.

When they say the "working area", should those photographers not really have been there? Should Norris have been able to pull into that as a sort of "neutral" space?

The narratives you mention in your last para are completely true, that's what annoys me, IF they had engaged in good faith with users. As it is, it's like a shopping centre that's been free to enter saying "right, it's now €100 to enter and any underwear shops are closed to you unless you wear our uniform."

Just completely crazy prices for a poor service. No shit that's unworkable. Just be honest and say you want to bring those users in-house, just fucking say that rather than trying to gaslight everyone into believing that all these competent developers are all unreasonable arseholes who are screwing you, a multi-billion-dollar corporation over.

Do they not have to say what percentage is actually meat? Where I live (not UK), if I look at, say, ham slices, the ingredients list will say something like "meat (85%)" and then water, and salt and other things. Cheap meat is only about 55-60% meat. Fancy packages are like 92% or 95%. I'm not exaggerating even slightly. I bought ham yesterday and settled on the 85%.

Edit: I checked beef and chicken-turkey mince in my fridge. 82% and 92% (77% chicken and 15% turkey).

I think he made the most out of the quick AM car in the early season. It's rough seeing them get caught up and probably passed though.

Is anyone checking that this dev isn't actually three bots in a trenchcoat? The updates are suspiciously frequent and high quality.

(Thanks a lot, dude!)

Is Silverstone a good track for GA? I'd love to go one day and wander around if there are a few places with decent views you can get to.

Why is it green? Has there not been enough racing prior to this f1 race to bring it in? Or is it the weather that's washing it clean?

Piastri is having a decent season, don't you think? He's limited by the McLaren being a bad car, but he's not a million miles from Norris in the same car. Hopefully people are noticing that and he can move on in a few years.

How is this world news?! I don't give a fuck what's going on in some city in the USA

Contracts are a meeting of minds with consideration for some benefit. I don't see why that can't be accomplished verbally, on WhatsApp, or on 500 sheets of foolscap, tbh.

You've got a point, there's some danger here, but I would have zero sympathy if someone ignored the fact that sarcasm isn't communicated well in text.

I don't know, I think a thumbs up is clear acceptance tbh.
