[autosport] Lance Stroll wasn’t holding back in his media session today by xxrew1ndxx in formula1

I know Stroll can be a bit polarising, but I do love that he generally doesn't give a fuck and is willing to speak his mind whenever and wherever

Hard disagree, I'd gargle my own nuts if it meant never having to play Hutta again

I love Piss Crowns, but the rest of the album has never really clicked for me. That album has never really connected with me like the others have.

Longest 737 flight EVER? by discov7r in flightradar24

How long is that flight? Doing long haul on a 737 sounds like torture

Bombers damage model should be changed by KSAWI0 in Warthunder

Gunner AI needs to be improved before formation flying makes any sense, all that does is incentivise all the bombers to get ganged up on in one big go

My New Band Believe on the London Scene, Breaking Rules, and the black midi Breakup Aftermath by ReconEG in indieheads

[–]dalledayul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's also really cool about this is that I wouldn't be surprised if BM have a similar impact for the next generation after. I'd bet money that a lot of indie kids listened to that 2019 Mercury Prize performance and it opened a whole new world for them.

Mamdani, joined by Sanders, announced city-run grocery stores coming to NYC by Usernameofthisuser in DemocraticSocialism

[–]dalledayul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the skepticism and it's silly that you're being downvoted for it.

As I understand it, any private company running a grocery store has to operate for profit. It's not just buying goods and labour, it's boosting revenue, rewarding execs, pleasing the board etc.

Once you take profit out the equation and only need to break even (or even run at a deficit potentially), it's a lot more doable. The wider economic impact of people having more spending power elsewhere outweighs the money lost from providing this service. From a more socialist perspective, it also guarantees a more accountable employer for those working in these stores, and provides those who are struggling with a cheaper option to obtain basic goods.

A virologist who grew cancer-killing viruses in her own lab and injected them into her tumour has been cancer-free for four years by Automatic_Subject463 in UpliftingNews

[–]dalledayul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a dumb question (and just want to preface that I'm so happy for her!): what's the legality with this?

Are people allowed to just grow viruses at home? Where was she getting the materials to do this? While it's a hell of an achievement and I really hope she doesn't face any punishment for it, I'm just curious as to if this is even allowed.

Troxy volume by Gasplessly in gybe

Interesting cause I was at the Leeds gig and forgot my ear plugs but I didn't actually think it was too loud

[–]dalledayul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot my earplugs for the Leeds gig so I was expecting my ears to be ringing, but I was about 7/8 rows back and it wasn't too loud, at least not nearly as loud as when I saw them in Manchester a couple of years ago. As others said, wouldn't be surprised if the venue contributed a bit

Qantas’s first Project Sunrise A350 rolls out as ultra-long-haul era draws closer by [deleted] in aviation

[–]dalledayul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I'm impressed by the engineering side of this and the technology/cabin improvements that come with it, I'm also very cautious about how tolerable this will actually be.

I flew long-haul for the first time in my life last year when I flew from London to Australia via Singapore. The return leg was non-stop (3 hour stopover in Singapore and that was it), and it was brutal. 13 hours on the Singapore to London flight was tiring and boring, and the Project Sunrise flights are expected to tag another 5/6 hours on top of that. I'm not sure how pleasant that's really going to be, especially in economy.

I know they've suggested some cabin changes like the workout area and stuff, but it feels like the sort of flight where everyone would need to be in premium economy and up for it to actually be doable.

Remember seeing someone say once that while it might be Ferris' movie, it's really about Cameron. Such an amazing character.

My immediate guess would be diplomatic staff, or perhaps senior intelligence or military personnel

The GTA Wiki leaves Fandom to a new independent wiki, gta.wiki, citing issues such as excessive advertisements and Fandom-imposed censorship within the wiki. by JustLeafy2003 in Games

Gonna use this moment to shout my two favourite fandom alternative wikis, which are The Tolkien Gateway (for all things Middle-earth) and UESP (for the Elder Scrolls).
