Pffft. The reality is that Stokes, Root and Archer are the only test quality players in this team. The experiment of ignoring county cricket in favour of hunches who've barely played long-form cricket has failed utterly against a team of experienced pros.

I find this fascinating. I was looking at a route the other day on Google Maps, and noticed a line on the landscape that wasn't a road. Zoomed out a bit, and a bit more... and yeah. It's HS2. The construction is so vast it's one of the most noticeable landscape features of southern England.

Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

Half resolution is when you cut width and height in half, and get at best half of your rendering time back, since rarely if ever do things scale perfectly with pixel count.

Boy. I remember attending some Microsoft Direct X council thing here back in the day (Salish Lodge). This is mind blowing.
The above video didn't do it justice. This is so shocking. If you've ever been here, you know how unnaturally high this water is. The lower trail and viewpoint must be completely destroyed, not to mention a substantial portion of the river tree line. What. The. Fuck

Vodafone is my new nemesis, someone used my email to register their new phone, no "click link to verify" gate (amateurs), I can't log in and delete the account because it has a security question, and now they're sending me spam with no unsubscribe link, which I thought was illegal in the UK.

Seems like the simplest solution to this is to ban all American social media companies in Europe and Asia.
Bonus: It might help save western democracy at the same time.

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force
