Horrific...

Yeah, it's a bit pathetic, I'm disgusted with myself. To put things into perspective though, I started watching at 5am on both occasions, and went to bed after 8am, so I think I deserve bonus points for that

"Customer is always right" is a bad policy which caters to sociopaths and narcissists, and breeds entitled assholes. My former company's policy when I was working in customer service was basically this - if it's our mistake, we'll apologise and make it right. If it's your mistake but you're nice and polite, we'll do what we can to help you make it right, often at our expense. If it's your mistake and you're a rude and entitled cunt, good luck with it, you're not getting any help.

I would have still binged it all in two nights

Finished watching Thai Cave Rescue, a Netflix mini-series about the Tham Luang cave rescue of 12 kids and their football coach 4 years ago. Written completely from a Thai perspective, I thought it was a great watch and a good portrayal of the actual rescue mission with some fictional characters and some other liberties taken for the sake of dramatisation. Binged all 6 hour-long episodes in two nights...

Pyrenean ibex is the first and the only known species to go extinct twice. Originally, they became extinct in 2000, and there were several cloning attempts to resurrect the species afterwards. In 2003, a living specimen was born through cloning, but died 7 minutes after birth due to a respiratory defect, making it the first species to go extinct, be brought back alive, and become extinct again. Such a majestic animal, too.

To add to that, the dedicated F1 predictions/fantasy sites always made the results void if there were technical issues preventing people from predicting in time (even if others predicted early and weren't affected). So I guess he's pissed because he feels it was unfair.

Personally, I don't get this kind of reasoning. It's strategic to make predictions as late as possible due to potential penalties etc. The rules allow for it as well, so it's not as if anyone is supposed to put placeholders early in the week. Nobody expected the forum to go down, especially for so long, there were no warnings, so it's surely a force majeure event, no? Granted, I don't know why he took it so seriously, either. Forum going down before he was able to make his predictions before the qualifying session.

Yeah, you just left out the most important factor in the story

Oh come on, he always predicted right before qualifying, and the forum went down on Friday night. Not his fault, is it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't fly this year. If that happens though, the rocket will have to be destacked again, which will delay the launch even further. Those solid rocket boosters are not supposed to be stacked for so long; the certification is for a year, and I believe they have already extended it by getting a waiver. Structural integrity of the joints is going to be a worry.

@Coma you know who else has birthday today?...

Happy birthday!!!

If you have your saves in the memory card, then sure, it will work with the new copy of the game too.

YES!

That policeman looks like he's in some Monty Python sketch

Wow, what a crazy story. Considering that the CEO of the Israeli private detective company now denies the allegations as well, I assume Windhorst opened the checkbook...

So even more shrimps? Challenge accepted

Why haven't I turned pink yet then?

There's always a chance, but I think in the end, they will still manage to win it thanks to individual quality throughout the squad and the fact that the other occasional title challengers (regardless of who it is) always tend to bottle it sooner or later.

This is a fantastic video of the impact...

Hope it doesn't crash into some faraway alien planet and they find out it was us who sent it their way

Test was successful.
