The traditionalist approach would be to let the Canadians burn that bit down by way of an apology.

US-East-1 really does provide a unique service that is unavailable literally anywhere else.

I inherited an infrastructure entirely based in US-East-1 at a relatively small startup.

The one advantage US-East-1 has over every other cloud providers' region is that when it goes down your customers don't blame you.

A Fiat Tempra safety car leads a wet race in the 90s.

Put Bernt back in a Fiat Tempra to give the marshals more time.

Multiviewer has been a band-aid fix for some of the not so great broadcast choices recently.

If US F1TV subs go away with this deal and take away that option then I expect watching races will be a worse experience for me (but I know I'm a tiny minority on this)

I seem to remember that hazelnuts are actually nuts and pretty much nothing else is.

Wear a second uninflated suit?

I just don't think anyone is coming back from the visual of an inflatable frog being shredded only for it to slowly reappear completely unscathed.

That look a lot like the plotter I modded to manufacture PCBs back in school.

OHP markers were pretty effective (and cheap) etch-resist pens that could be crammed into the body of a dead pen.

There was juuuuust enough clearance to squeeze a board under the arm.

YouTube video by Prof. Giordano Scarciotti The Genius Device That Rocked F1 | An Interview With Its Inventor

If you want a video interviewing the guy that invented an entirely new suspension component type this was a really good watch.

Applying electrical circuit theory to suspension components blew my mind a little bit.

Rats in (Tim Curry voice) SPAAAAaaaaaaaAACE!

That does sound like it fairly accurately captures the experience of visiting the US for the first time.

The finger on the monkeys paw snaps down as Tim Cook suddenly figures out what to do with that giant pile of surplus butterfly switches they have lying around.

Just because the song has been randomly popping into my head for weeks now I'm wondering what the titular Charlie Big Potato actually looks like.

Most teams would ask for the swap before the last corner on the final lap but that's just not the Ferrari way.

Sure so most *ships* people call dazzle aren't technically painted in dazzle but can we get a verdict on this cow?

It's not just les Québécois. There's a long tradition of L'Académie Française desperately fighting to keep English out of the French language.

In case you aren't familiar with The Sun (the best selling UK newspaper at the time), until 2015 they had a photo of topless woman on page 3.

At one point during the 90s they had a week long countdown for a new model becoming old enough for them to legally print photos of her topless.

If they need a name, may I suggest Croc Martens?

Wait, the context for this was Wordle? That's even more confusing.

It looks like a live action remake of Inside Out — five people behind a big desk each bringing a completely different emotion.

I used a similar cave and erm, did you mark *all* the entrances?

<exploring a new bit of the map> Oh look a nice cave to explore… hmm it's a bit clicky down here, I must be almost standing on a uranium node. Wow, that's actually very clicky and this looks familia—OUT! OUT! OUT! <hub counter resets>

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

Former colleague knew very little about the NFL so she drafted players based on how much the names sounded like race horses. To the absolute horror of all the very serious sports dudes she won the league that year.

Have you checked Denver Zoo for it?

(nothing like watching four 11 day old murder kittens to brighten your day)

There was a wildlife sanctuary in West Yellowstone that at one point had a collection of "bear poof" trash recepticals that had failed to live up to that promises.

There were dumpsters reduced to twisted messes of surprisingly sturdy looking metal. I wonder why I was suddenly reminded of them?

The light falling on that bush in the background makes it look like she has an absolutely incredible mohawk!

At first I hated this but having thought about it for a while I still hate it just with a bit more nuance.

If you need 2 voltages and are forced use two identical sized barrel jacks then this does physically prevent 12V being connected to the 5V circuit.

Somewhere in the muktiverse there must exist a timeline where they decided to cage the bolt not the nut and network engineers there are significantly happier.

Fantastic bit of keming there: "Summarize pages in one dick".

Maybe when you click it produces one of those word cloud things in the shape of a portrait of Sam Altman.

The worst part is having to clarify that ChatGPT isn't a replacement for the bit of Google you get to after you scroll down a bit.

Wait, if the helicopter has line of sight to a target then why not just put the laser up there instead of putting the helicopter and crew in the oopsie zone.

On second thoughts probably best not to get caught up in a practicality discussion with the brain trust that came up with Blue Peacock.
