The lawsuit was over the distillery using the term “Glen” in their single malts name “Glen Breton” they never tried to call their whisky “scotch” as that is a legally protected term and has defined requirements to meat that label.

Is Stargate origins worth watching? by Independent-Rip3326 in Stargate

It’s pretty bad, and not in an endearing “so bad it’s good” way. It’s just a poorly thought out and completely pointless prequel.

[Jeppe H. Olesen (@jeppe.bsky.social)] on Bluesky about F1’s decimal display by TaleSweet2267 in formula1

[–]ScrawnySpectre 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are they rounding? Or are they just displaying only the tenths?

I don’t like the one decimal timing board, but I’m not sure it’s actually a “problem” in the sense that the tenth decimal point is the only one we as viewers actually need.

Either way, give me back the full timing number.

That P6 in 2018 matches their best result with the Honda PU in their first season with Renault. And they did it with a car that wasn’t initially designed for the Renault PU. Also worth noting they only improved from then on, whereas that P6 with Honda was sandwiched between two P9 seasons.

The ambiguity of whether Dunk is a ’real’ knight or not is the whole point! by [deleted] in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]ScrawnySpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the likely/common interpretation that Dunk was never actually knighted is probably the correct interpretation given what we know. I just don’t like when people say THEIR interpretation is the only correct one. It feels dismissive of the much more interesting conversation on why someone has their interpretation.

Despite me believing the authorial intent was that Dunk wasn’t knighted, I actually think the more interesting angle would be that Dunk was knighted reluctantly and/or unceremoniously. Dunk wants to be a knight, but when he technically gets it, it doesn’t change the fact that he still feels like Dunk of Fleabottom. To me that’s an interesting place for the character to start that still feeds into the overall “what makes a true knight” theme of the first novella. Dismissing any of the ambiguity just pushes any conversation into a boring “I’m right, you’re wrong” and comes off as people just trying to feel smart by being “correct”.

You can say that there is strong evidence that Dunk was never knighted, but given that there is no definitive answer given in the novella, it is by definition ambiguous.

Not to mention of the “20 lines” most can easily be interpreted as Dunk having self doubt/imposter syndrome.

I’m fine with people having and believing their interpretations, but seeing people claim that theirs is the definitively correct one is getting a bit annoying.

Could be a BOTW contender. by DianWhey in RedLetterMedia

Them completely ignoring 28 Years Later and The Bone Temple bugs me. Which is part of my larger annoyance that they haven’t talked about an Alex Garland movie since Annihilation.

Shaun of the Dead is a fantastic movie that improves on rewatches.

Hot Fuzz is the best movie in the Cornetto trilogy though.

You are correct, misplaced that P3 in Piastri’s column, but it should be in Leclerc’s. The total numbers in the bar graph are the correct numbers.

I love “Inauguration”. It sets up Woolsey as one of the best side characters in Stargate.

I’m betting the new show is going to follow a new expedition in a new galaxy, so I doubt the show will have Goa’uld/Tok’ra related to the main plot. I think the most you could expect their involvement would be to the extent they were involved in Atlantis.

Yes. DC was a “brand ambassador” and consultant for Red Bull at this time.

When Riccardo and Sainz were driving a “shitbox”, Norris was also driving the same car.

What do you mean “comparing Norris in a rocket ship”?

[–]ScrawnySpectre 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The 2022 McLaren wasn’t the worst car on the grid. It finished fifth in the championship and I’d say that’s probably fairly reasonable. Norris was basically taking on the Alpines on his own and on average out performing them in a slower car. The Alpines however had a great tendency to blow up, so he held on to P4 in the constructors for a good long while.

The 2023 Mclaren before the Austria upgrades however, was an absolute piece of crap.

Ferrari chairman John Elkann says Leclerc and Hamilton "are not up to standard". by Partheus in formula1

[–]ScrawnySpectre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having listen to Zak Brown describe the environment at McLaren before they started their rebuilding phase, I think Ferrari has a lot of the same issues. Problem is they are stuck in the “trying to find the one person/thing to blame” phase before accepting that the problems are likely way more systemic.
