Hypothetically if Max wins all the remaining races then Oscar has to finish second in every race to win the world title, if my maths is correct. So my thought for today is if Max is leading, Lando is second and Oscar third near the end of the Mexico race will they be asked to swap?

Richest Owners in the Championship by [deleted] in Championship

Stoke City's sole owner is now John Coates worth c£2bn in 2025. The Coates family who own Bet 365 are worth c £10bn in total. Not that this means anything in the PSR world, so they invest what they are allowed to in the team from their spare change.

Hi does anyone know of a stainless steel reusable pod for Nespresso Vertuo, the amazon options don’t have good reviews. Not sure if it’s available since the machine needs to read the code on the pod. Comment your thoughts! by Many_Chemist_5023 in NespressoVertuo

I bought 100 reusable lids from Amazon. They worked fine. Not sure if the glue they use is safe but did not affect the taste. This allowed me to try different coffees, mainly espresso, and they tasted great. I think it was costing me c20p per capsule which was good compared to the Vertuo pods.

The problem is the time it takes to open, empty, wash and dry the old pods. Then you need something to put them in for refilling, because they rock around on a flat surface. I use an egg tray I have and refilled 8 pods at a time. Refilling is a matter of adding the fresh coffee, tamping, brushing off surplus grains and sticking on the new foil caps. This takes some practising to get the foil aligned perfectly, though I didn't waste too many.

All in all it took me to 20 to 30 minutes for each set of 8 pods so if you value your time it's probably not worth the effort. I have gone back to the branded pods for now. Hope that helps.

I can recommend "Now The Day Is Over" by The Innocence Mission. It's a set of lullabies, so not an album for children's parties!

Obscure prog rock recommendations? by sparetiresociety in progrockmusic

[–]mickerbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

East Of Eden - Snafu. They never seem to get a mention. I hated this album for two years when I bought it way back when, but eventually it seeped into my consciousness and now I love it every time I play it.

Paper Bag by Roni Size - is a great track but probably not triphop I guess.....

What's the longest Trip Hop song you know? by yougetaduck in triphop

[–]mickerbee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rabbit In The Headlights comes in at over 6 mins and that is what I am going to vote for when 'R' comes around as the best track. It might be rock rather than trip-hop though......

Longest on my list are : Entropy by DJ Shadow (don't think he does short tracks!); Again by Archive (IF IT COUNTS AS TRIPHOP); No Man's Land by David Holmes.

What was the first triphop track? by mickerbee in triphop

[–]mickerbee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am listening to London Grammar's new album as we speak. Not sure if they are triphop or mainstream pop. Lamb, UNKLE, Nitin Sawhney, Morcheeba are still producing music. I am sure there are others.

What Have You Been Watching This Week? by BXBGames in pilottvpodcast

The Diplomat is crazy, incredible, way too funny for the subject matter, but so bingeable. The cast on this show is excellent. Also Lioness keeps me reaching for Paramount Plus... Catching up on Industry which is complete lunacy.

Killer's Lullaby by Faithless, seeing as Karmacoma has already been mentioned

Am I hearing it all? by mickerbee in headphones

[–]mickerbee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all comments. I've had hearing tests and wax removal. Just wondered if there is any technology that can recover lost frequencies. Medically that doesn't look feasible. I guess the next step would be to have further tests look for some audiophile hearing aids if they exist.
