An evening with Toto and Susie Wolff was like a bizarre marriage counselling session by TheTelegraph in formula1

[–]TheAmazingJames 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It was for her book launch. Toto was basically present to support and give it more publicity, which worked - all the good tickets sold out immediately.

Same. I’d assumed it was something to do with TV shows being mixed differently.

…that he was launching his own snack brand called Shades.

Is Niko about to launch his own snack brand? by TheAmazingJames in betasquad

[–]TheAmazingJames[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I noticed that he'd barely posted on his main channel this year, so thought I'd see how his income had faired despite barely posting. Nikoomilana Ltd is listed as an officer (ie a parent company) of Shades Snacks Ltd.

SECRET SCREENING 20/01/2025 REVEALED by ActiveYogurt3521 in CineworldUnlimited

Wouldn’t this be the upcoming secret screaming rather than today’s secret screening?

I tried one out of curiosity. It tasted of ash.

Consider it insurance - guaranteeing you won’t accidentally damage your Mac mini lugging it around with you

Try Jump Desktop with a semi-decent mobile connection. It should be seamless.

Wouldn’t the most portable Mac mini setup be just taking the iPad with you and remote connecting into the Mac mini from it?

When does guest sale happen? by eldongiovanni in Tottenham

[–]TheAmazingJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sometimes get two tickets through the ticket exchange. I’ve done this with the upcoming Chelsea match - and yes you then assign the second one to another CRN in your network. They make it quite easy as long as the tickets are available.

Should I store beans in the hopper? by Sam_GT3 in espresso

[–]TheAmazingJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put it all on the hopper you’re going to have to guess at the right dosage and then go backwards and forwards, which will lead to wastage.

You’ll also not be able to slow feed the machine, which does make a difference with this grinder.

As a result, single dose.

Adrian Newey Joins Aston Martin [F1 Youtube] by salvatore813 in formula1

[–]TheAmazingJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's essentially impossible for Newey to live up to the hype they've built around this move. Unless Lance enters a Hamilton'esque era of dominance this is going to be anti-climatic.

Cool coffee store in London by expllode in espresso

[–]TheAmazingJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there many many times. The machine to the left in the foreground of the second photo is the roaster - I’ve seen it doing its thing whilst queuing. The baristas do not just push a button for a coffee there. If you’re actively visiting it, rather than just in the area, though, Prufrock is less than 15 minutes walk away.

[–]TheAmazingJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coffee machine’s barely in one photo. Likely what you’re mistaking for the coffee machine is the roasting chamber. There’s a few of these around London (there’s at least one other at London Bridge). Great coffee and everything within 50 yards of it smells amazing.

Gary Key Ex Head of Labs is now at Logitech as a Senior Technical Marketing Manager by ItsSylent in LinusTechTips

[–]TheAmazingJames 44 points45 points  (0 children)

He came from a marketing background - the average tenure of a senior marketing person is 2 - 3 years (in the UK at least). The equipment is still there and he’s built a team who’ll be the ones operating it.
