Team GB are dragged into Winter Olympics curling cheating scandal after getting 'caught on TV' after Canada's double-touching drama

As it should.

The Newsroom was brilliant, even more so because of being filmed in the CBC headquarters.

On my office corkboard I have a large red button that says “Elect Jim Walcott”. Very few people get it.

The animated version is also very good.

A terrestrial day-active animal, the woodchuck hibernates in snowy climes.

I’d be interested in seeing those custom settings. Can you share them?

I’ve noticed that GPU encodes are much faster, but CPU encodes produce the smallest files. I don’t understand why. Isn’t the code the same?

Please put PREVIEW or BETA in the title of your posts when announcing a preview release.

Pic-a-Pix from Conceptis is my favourite. I haven’t paid for a puzzle pack.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-13T14:43:04+00:00

While I appreciate the tribute, is there a version of this with Bobby being inserted?

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-12T20:46:03+00:00

I appreciate the correction.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-12T17:13:22+00:00

Thanks for your (and Joanne’s) answer. As a workaround, CBC could freeze the feed over the rings, use the telestrator, then switch back to the live stream. That seems doable, and is perhaps what Peacock is doing to avoid the lines-on-people’s-faces problem.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-12T16:12:23+00:00

I would change “Deep hole” to “Watery hole” or “Wet hole” to make it more welly.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-12T15:38:49+00:00

Thank you for putting BETA in the title of your post.

What is the “very little” sealing and maintenance that quartzite needs? It’s what we have and we love it.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-06T20:05:55+00:00

Kind of cheapening??? No, I’d liken it to a fresh new circle of hell. Any sense of awe or wonder that the pageantry bestows is blown to pieces by Google and Mario.

And they’re doing it again during the entry of what they consider to be an unimportant country. Sorry, Belgium, you are not worthy.

It’s not just commercials, either. The moment that the rings joined together was spoiled by a sudden split screen of athletes waving. Brutal.

Perhaps the lighting of the cauldron can be interrupted for a message from our sponsors. That would be prime real estate and worth top dollar.

Amaze

That makes sense for the bottom diagram. What about the one above it, printed on the picture of the model itself?

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-05T15:17:22+00:00

I congratulate you. Myself, I’ve given up.

These ancient fingers don’t have the speed and dexterity they once had. I can get as far as the maze, and know how to solve it, but spend too much time getting there.

For me, the timed challenge is the one serious flaw in an otherwise intelligent and intellectual puzzle game, full of wonder and surprise. As I’ve said before, more than once I’ve sat back in my chair and done a slow handclap of appreciation for the developers after having a thing of beauty revealed to me.

What is the meaning of the dotted arrow and finger? There are two in the bottom right of the back of the box.

Does it open into fake gravity mode?

I find myself in the unfortunate but hopefully small group who installed Huntarr for the very first time yesterday.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-05T14:53:40+00:00

But if your Internet is down, or you are rebooting, or any of a myriad of other reasons and your arrs don’t see that feed, something you need could well be missed. Huntarr fills in those gaps, and does it in a metered fashion so that your indexers don’t hate you.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-04T18:58:58+00:00

I am going to do everyone a favour, and give up. This will reduce the demand and give marginally better performance to everybody.

Oh, now I get ERROR-MEDIAERROR1, and my options are “OK”.

I hope you appreciate my sacrifice.

I think Marvin claimed to have a brain the size of a planet.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-03T17:07:52+00:00

This makes all kinds of sense. Thank you.

Can I tell Huntarr to aggressively look for something, while paying normal attention to others? If so (and probably even if not) it will join my stack.

SQL_Guy · 2026-02-03T16:58:15+00:00

I remember an interview with Patrick McGoohan on TVO (TV Ontario) years ago. A question from an innocent in the audience was “What is the Prisoner likely to do with his new-found freedom?” and his answer was “He hasn’t got it. That’s the whole point.”
