Serious answers please;

If Ian Watkins is dead, does that mean Lostprophets music now doesn't benefit him (obviously) and can now be unblocked?

As an angsty mid-2000s teen I grew up on Lostprophets

Want to make sure I'm not missing something.

To clarify, Govt. borrowing costs have been higher, but only during economic crisis or times of war:

1970s: High inflation, oil crises, IMF bailout.

Late 1980s/Early 1990s: Inflation, ERM crisis.

Post-WWII: Rebuilding, significant debt.

Nigel Farage and the Reform party promising you bluer skies and greener pastures.

Should be a massive red flag; clearly not realistic in the current environment.

Borrowing costs for govt. higher than ever before.
Income can come from taxes, but he will cut them.

No magic money tree here Nigel

I really do not buy the "you can't train a rookie for this", when it comes to putting; sure you can:

- wet pitbox in a simulator
- wet pitbox with an old car and no crew at a test

You're putting 8 other humans at risk; there are things you can do to prepare.

I really cannot get used to watching indycars driving alongside track vehicles in greasy conditions.

Scary stuff.

In what universe did game publishers think - oh yeah, we should charge $89.99 for a physical release... During a cost of living crisis

Flightless birds have been very unfair to us. Theyโ€™re going to pay.

Seems like they are aligned with Trump presidencies - sorry but I would rather not have a third.

Do I buy dollars, or wait for the Cheeto to make further fuck-ups? Hmm...

The lower framerate from the drone shots on #f1testing are actually really jarring and make me somewhat seasick.

Love the new angles, if they can just get that sorted it will be amazing!

This faff about fastest lap points in F1 is resolved if you reward the entire field with points.

Also means a more consistent midfield team is rewarded for consistently improving, versus one team that gets "lucky" on a specific weekend.

I don't think I'm silly for suggesting to my wife, that she should just wait for one of the DOGE employees to accidentally DROP the table containing everyone's student loan balances

Okay. Domain setup for BlueSky is ridiculously easy. Highly recommend.
