The fediverse is the perfect example of how social media should be implemented following Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s vision when creating the WWW. That’s why this feels like pre-2010 internet!

Nice! Any recommendations on waterproofing gear/shoes when riding serious rainfall?

Nike actually makes a running shoe which used a carbon reinforced sole IIRC which is supposed to make you use a bit less energy when running. So I’ll put in my vote for no, you won’t be faster barefoot.

“When even the shoeshine boys are talking stocks, the market is too popular for it’s own good, and it’s time to sell” has been a quote since the 1900s. Following popular opinions will make you late in all investments.

When I heard my 60y/o non-tech neighbour talk about crypto, I sold 70% of mine. Follow the scuttlebutt in both directions is what Philip Fisher would say.

Couldn’t figure a reliable way to mate, found the game and holy hell am I impressed. Black made the mistake of trying to pin White’s queen, White played Bc7 after that forcing a second mistake of moving the rook.

It doesn’t justify it IMO, but the features are not the point. It’s about supporting the development for a (currently) smaller userbase.

Anyway, here’s a screenshot

It’s not $99 for the app though, it’s $20 for sync ad-free, which is reasonable for a crazy polished app like this one. The $99 gets you a tiny bit more functionality they provide extra based around a subscription model because recurring revenue makes sure you always have the funds to further your project. I don’t necessarily agree with this sentiment, but I also don’t need any of those extra features.

Also, sync is just the beginning. Many more apps will follow. If they still think that price is reasonable, then so be it. But $20 is very fair IMO.

I found it enormous fun, great overtakes, great midfield, Max beating his teammate by 15 sec, lots of struggles on tyres, Hamilton taking the fastest lap on fresh mediums, Max sending it from miles away on Leclerc, slight change of pace with the rain but overall small effect, except for Max almost spinning on Eau Rouge.

Not the best Spa edition ever, but as an attendee of the 2021 edition, certainly not the worst

Honestly very interesting grid, wouldn’t immediately say Max will 100% win this one as well. Depending on how wide everyone is at the start and how incident free it is as well. Although the raw speed of that redbull might prove me wrong.
