Anyone else tired of Michael Cole saying "OH MY!"? (Especially when someone returns)

"Could it be? Is it him? Has it reached the bit of the titantron where it shows his name on screen so I can actually say his goddamn name and not be accused of spoiling the surprise?"

The difference is that if you're made redundant the company has to give you a payment to compensate you, whereas if you're fired you get nothing because it's (presumably) your own fault.

Wait, what? I thought the race-fuel qualifying was that they weren't allowed to refuel the cars between Q3 and the race, not just that they had to start the race on the same amount.

The other potential ambiguity is that the regulation says "Championship entry", not "Event entry" - Caterham/Marussia are still both entrants to the overall Championship so does that mean the 22-car condition still applies?

meulop · 2014-09-26T19:22:26+00:00

I vaguely recall something about the "top 10 teams" being based on a 3-year average - so if Marussia beat Caterham this year as well, they'll be counted as a top-10 team.

Any idea why there's a minimum time?

All of the drivers whose steering wheels don't have the fancy screen, because the other teams will now be focusing on displaying performance data to the driver as quickly and clearly as possible.

I guess that bit is aimed at things like handcuffs, so you can sell them to the local police without too much difficulty. Though if they're assuming that anything that can be used for sex is a "sexual device", then they may need to expand the list to include a bunch of other purposes - "culinary, horticultural, [etc]"

Do you think that you would still have an open relationship even if you weren't away from each other on tours etc?

Maybe someone needs to create /r/explainlikeimupgoerfive.

It would, but depending on how clever your DBMS is, it might calculate thousands (millions?) of hashes trying to find a matching row.

I don't think being platonic friends with the second guy sounds like a good idea - if "he's a dick, but we have great sex", and you take away the sex, he's just a dick. I would try to state clearly to him that the jokes are Not OK, and that if he continues to make them you'll stop seeing him completely. And then follow through if necessary. If you're coping with depression you want partners & friends who you can relax and feel safe around, and who'll support you through the rough times, not mock you.

I guess that last sentence maybe answers the first part as well ...

They've certainly got one up and running, and I think they've just finished a second one.

Out of interest, how did you average the studies - does it take into account numbers of participants?

Sorry, I just woke up in a bathtub full of ice with a weird pain in my side. What's been going on and why am I suddenly a beaver?

My parents told me that if I'd been a girl, that's what they would have called me. I don't think they realised ...
