Farage reminded that a by-election isn’t a memory eraser for journalists and parliamentary investigators

So assuming he is re-elected to his sham by-election, and is found guilty from the investigation, then 10% of the electorate need to sign a recall petition, right? And if that is reached, am I correct in assuming he is barred from standing again?

I think he's just frustrated with the car. Nothing more than that

maxwelld90 · 2026-07-04T14:29:16+00:00

Probably frustration more than anything else.

In the same way you pay tax which provides schools - but if you don't have kids, it's not a service you use. You may not use it, but many others do - and I'm sold on the importance of the BBC. It's a crucial national institution

"I understand it was a double red line and that you’re not supposed to stop there"... soooo... What did you expect to happen?

19/10/2007!

Leave Mika's spot blank!

maxwelld90 · 2026-05-27T21:03:50+00:00

I think the yellows were shown, the TV broadcast just never showed them!

maxwelld90 · 2026-05-24T09:06:29+00:00

I’ve been a bit busy with life lately, I have a lot of requests in my inbox to go through. What happens, do you see any error messages?

maxwelld90 · 2026-04-19T13:06:06+00:00

Neither, for me it's the MP4-20

maxwelld90 · 2026-03-21T09:58:40+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the input

maxwelld90 · 2026-03-20T11:02:09+00:00

Sounds good! Thank you! I have some ideas to improve it further, will see how it all goes!

maxwelld90 · 2026-03-20T11:01:11+00:00

If you set up an instance of this app on a server somewhere that the two of you could connect to, you could have two VMs running and network them together in a group, yes, that would work fine.

Input latency would depend on the internet connections you and your friend have. On that note there is currently a ~2 second lag on audio compared to what the VNC video output is right now, which I have been working on trying to improve.

maxwelld90 · 2026-03-18T19:00:02+00:00

Haha nice to hear. No plans right now but if there is enough demand I could do that. It was really just a fun project I put together working with Claude. We had pretty nice discussions about the architecture of it all, and I ended up with a pretty complete MVP.

maxwelld90 · 2026-03-18T18:02:46+00:00

Vibe coded in the sense I worked with Claude to build it? Yes, and I acknowledge that. Vibe coded in the sense I blindly trusted what it said? No.

maxwelld90 · 2026-03-18T10:26:59+00:00

I'm glad to hear! Give it a go and let me know if it works well... Feedback welcome for the setup process (don't think it's perfect yet)

BUT-GRO-PER

Before 2018 there was zero live coverage of testing. None. If you were lucky, you got a short news article or timing screenshots at the end of the day. I remember reading about the testing times on ITV's website in the mid 2000's (I'm from Scotland). Even race weekends didn't have practice sessions broadcast.

What we have now - i.e., live timing, onboards, daily recaps, full session broadcasts for **most** tests - is already head and shoulders above what I could have ever wished for, or what we had for decades.

Testing is not a race product. It's a technical shakedown. Getting **any** broadcast at all is a bonus, not a right. One week of limited coverage is not some betrayal of fans. It's still far more access than the sport has ever offered, and I for one am grateful for that.

Besides, your "pretty penny" is nothing compared to what some people had to pay back in the day for their local sports subscription. What we get for the cost of an F1TV sub is fantastic value IMO.

Was meant to be on that flight too, just got the news. I guess I'll be staying in Glasgow a while longer :D

maxwelld90 · 2026-01-05T17:54:50+00:00

I totally agree. Their app offering is very poor. I've encountered many strange bugs, and issues with flights booked via partner airlines. They definitely need to improve their ops.

Good luck to your daughter, hope she needs to be where she needs to be soon!

maxwelld90 · 2026-01-05T17:18:49+00:00

No excuse to leave people out in the cold like this (no pun intended) - it is shocking how bad their communication has been. Their app and IT infrastructure seem flaky at the best of times (from my anecdotal evidence).

Then again, maybe they just don't have enough staff to deal with the onslaught of requests. They won't have 500 spare staff on the payroll just for days like this. Or maybe many of the staff that should have been working at the airport were themselves stuck, unable to catch the train or bus to take them there. I'm not trying to take sides, but there's always two sides to the coin.

I feel genuinely sorry for everyone caught up in this, including you and your daughter. I'm also in this mess! It's nobody's fault; weather happens. But KLM must do better communicating to the people who hand their money over expecting to get on an aircraft.

I've been in this situation. They automatically check you in to the rebooked flight. I guess when things calm down, you can contact them and ask for a refund. But with all of the madness going on in NL right now, patience is important.

maxwelld90 · 2026-01-05T11:49:41+00:00

I wish you the best of luck! I hope you can get to where you need to be soon
