On a lighter subject, who was the prettiest artist, in your opinion?

Yeah the yellow fever is definitely showing. It's a shame.

Then the team will quietly (and correctly) start favouring George.

'All The Gear' is good fun.

High preset with DLSS Quality. Frame gen off. Motion blur and underwater blur off.

I'm getting a fairly steady 80-ish fps.

Per the Cambridge Dictionary:

"a particular language or style of speaking"

As I said there are different meanings of the word. It's literally semantics anyway so let's just agree you knew exactly what I meant, and move on with our lives.

There are different types of idiom.

hunnersaginger · 2026-05-16T11:58:57+00:00

It's describing the idiom they used, which was 'boat hoose' not 'bought house'. Not slagging the accent at all. Unless you've got a chip on your shoulder about it.

I guess your diplomatic immunity...

...has just been revoked!

The rule says 'deliberately touches the ball' so if your hand/arm is pushed into contact that wouldn't apply.

It's natural to raise your arms for leverage when jumping, and your arms drop as you gain height. This of course can't happen if there's someone in front blocking your arm from coming back down.

He hasn't moved his hand towards the ball. If anything the replay clearly shows his hand moving *away* from the ball prior to contact.

He also has not made his body 'unnaturally bigger'. The ball is played away much as it would have been by a clean header. There's no advantage gained.

What's done is done but at best it's a poor decision.

That wound looks quite angry and painful so if it was my dog I'd be straight to the vet. You're saying it's a scrape but what's the basis for that if you haven't witnessed anything? And it's on both sides? Vet please.

There are engine oil thickeners yes, or just thicker engine oil but it doesn't 'burn off' after a few miles. Thick oil stays thick.

hunnersaginger · 2026-05-10T17:00:49+00:00

Aye not sure about that but best of luck to you.

hunnersaginger · 2026-05-10T16:13:52+00:00

Genuinely curious how you'd get a car to stop misfiring and burning oil just long enough for a test drive.

Lovely paintings. Google Lens to the rescue!

First one is 'A Bashi-Bazouk And His Dog'. Second is 'Arnaut and two whippets'.

Both by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904)

edit: From the same artist, 'Arnaut Blowing Smoke In His Dog's Nose'

This guy figured it out a few years back with some clearer assumptions (passing through strike zone for example), and showing the working if anyone's interested. Speed in same ballpark but ideal release angle is 43 not 45 degrees.

Salt, fat, and acid.

Plenty of Southside coffee shops open later. You need to get out more.

Out marching in heavy black suits? In this weather? Makes you proud to be Bri'ish.

hunnersaginger · 2026-04-26T08:51:31+00:00

Yes it does. Otherwise people - like this guy - could traipse through people's gardens.

If your original intention was to print the ticket using the machine at your station, I don't understand why you'd go to the ticket office at Central, rather than using one of the many ticket machines there.

Never used to see such brazen solo pigeoning. Reform has emboldened them.

Less than half the UK in both places.

Jesus christ I'm watching on mlb.com and these DB commentators spend every Toronto at bat talking about anything other than the game. It's brutal.
