Of course. There's a reason Gmail has always been free, and it's not out of the goodness of their hearts.

I'm listening to book 2 in the series at the moment. So good also!

The comic is utter bullshit.

Flip the man and the woman and change the text to "Can you come back? A lightbulb needs changing" and you've got sexism, but this is supposed to be funny because dads are bad?

I'm from the UK, my wife is from Singapore, and our son was born in the US. I really don't think it's appropriate to force him to pledge allegiance to the US, because he has strong ties to other countries. It feels like brainwashing.

It sounds to me like the usage data is talking about the fact that every major web browser sends identifying information about the browser, device, etc. when you visit any site.

For an app, they're likely getting data from Google Play or the App Store for crashes, installs, comments, whether they like it or not.

People don't often accuse me of being an optimist.

Just curious, how do you translate things? I know Mozilla recently did some local translation stuff in-browser, but what about before? Is there a good competitor to Google Translate?

For the Lap 64 contact that put Norris out of the race and demoted Verstappen to fifth after punctures, the stewards handed the world champion a 10-second time penalty.

It did not drop him from fifth however, as he was well ahead of the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg.

However, the stewards have also decided to award Verstappen two penalty points on his super-licence, bringing his total for the 12 month period to four, with 12 needed for ban.

Every driver has a few choices. Brake and wait, go off the track, or collide. You're not allowed to overtake off track, and you shouldn't cause a collision, so what's left?

Great analysis.

Brake, wait for the road to be clear. Not overtake off the track.

You're allowed to almost go off the track.

 

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

Taskmaster's Birthday (taskmastersbirthday.com)
 

Several months ago there was a QR code on an episode that led to the linked website.

Today's finally the day it says yes!

 

I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

 
 

I haven't looked up when Greg's actual birthday is...
