Found an interesting quirk on wherein KDE's touchpad configuration was not disabling one-tap dragging, which was absolutely driving me nuts, until I discovered it needs to be disabled in synclient.

If you think tyre differences are bad, in it's even worse - they are stuck with what they choose, as changing them is possible but obviously not practical in a race. In the case of Jorge Martin, his championship challenge evaporated in Qatar.

Yow, I just got successfully phished on the Facebook Android app. I clicked on "Your friend X tagged in a post" and this thing managed to put a browser window over the top of the FB app so it looked like I was still in the app, totally consistent style, and asked for a Facebook login, which I haven't done for years so I thought made sense. I fell for it, and I bet most people wouldn't have noticed it was sketchy, which I fortunately did; password hastily changed….

@HebrideanHecate She had a habit of wandering off and I think this fact made the police complacent.

@Flick I used to read him when he was editor of Amiga Power. Funny old world.

"I'm glad I could get you all here today" + two hours of stuff relevant to nobody = average meeting.

@tk I'm a big believer that manual transmission encourages a connection to the process of driving and encourages concentration. I may be totally wrong but I think 'modern' cars are just too easy to drive.

My (then) 6yr old would borrow my laptop to "...play Supertux and Minecraft" and he goes into firefox, uses the webcam to take his picture and changes my username. I love it so much I just left it.

there's a lot of mirth about Sainz hitting the manhole cover, but when you consider that his backside is sitting on what is essentially the floor of the car (in some cases the seat is cutout at this point), and there's a high density battery pack on the same plane, that could have been an extremely serious accident.
