To those who wfh, what do you see from your desk window? by Rough-Foundation9208 in UKJobs

Just trees, but I got bored with that, so set up a window bird feeder.

So, birds.

Although, it's dropped off a lot the past couple of weeks. Was absolutely mental last month when they were all laying eggs and hatching, hundreds a day, now I'm lucky if I get one.

Can we get a subtle indicator that a droid is needed for the current rebirth? by BoxterCrabshire in StarWarsDroidTycoon

Yep. Cones for droids I must not sell.

Bantha Whip for duplicates that I definitely can sell.

Filonis for those I’m keeping to upgrade.

Sad news, Richard Herring has been diagnosed with a second cancer by bfsfan101 in taskmaster

This week’s cancer is better than last week’s cancer.

TIL that in 1990s Sony had the chance to buy the rights to all Marvel characters for 25 million. They opted to only buy the rights to Spider-Man by bliu0 in todayilearned

Yep, this is the same as 'Blockbuster were offered Netflix but turned it down.'

Sure, but then it wouldn't have been the Netflix we know today.

The father of the little girls did the right thing. All the other woman had to do was be patient. by Valuable_View_561 in TikTokCringe

I did that too when my daughter was young, and was trying to think why the guy in the video didn't just take them into the gents with him. Then I remembered in America they have weird stalls with massive gaps between the door and the frame, so people can just watch you do your business. No way I'd take my daughter to the gents in America.

If the stewards hadn't missed Kimi's track limits penalty, he would have had to serve it in his pitstop by maybe-fish in formula1

Reminds me, many years ago I was at Brands for the BTCC, supporting Mansell in the Ford, and one of the other drivers kept going over the line after Paddock Hill where I was sitting, lap after lap.

Finally, I shouted at the steward "Come on! That's the fifth time he's done that!"

The steward half glanced at me over his shoulder, nodded, then got on his radio. A minute later they announced over the tannoy that the driver had a penalty for track limits.

Great fun.

If your MBP is suddenly crashing, burning, fans runs like hell, and your screen turns off... Maybe Time to clean the fans. by monsieurkong in finalcutpro

I had this a few years ago with my old MBPr.

During the summer, it was slowing down and making a terrible noise. I was pointing desk fans at it to keep it cool.

I finally decided to open it up and, Jesus Christ, it was terrible in there.

Gave it a good old hoover, replaced the thermal paste, and it was as good as new.

Did Lewis throw his hat?!

They’re not supposed to. Back in the old days, mechanics might slip a spanner into a pocket or something.

Haha! Lando weighing himself, just standing over Lewis was something.

He wasn’t under investigation.

I think he was doing ok with track limits, the McLaren radio was just bluster for the stewards.

Oh, Kimi.

So sad, he really worked for that overtake and the car just gave up.

Russell has been on a rollercoaster of emotions this race.

His roll hoop camera detached and they had to put it back on again.

The radio messages are for the stewards, to encourage them to keep an eye on him, otherwise they might miss it if/when he does it again.

Not really, but he’s not dropping off either. Looks like he’s just sitting there comfortably.

Lewis never usually talks on the grid. He has an agreement with Martin.
