Watching the #F1 Vegas FP2 on -demand. I went to Vegas 5 years ago for the AWS thing they do there. It is the strangest city I have ever been to in my life. It's like a theme park for sad adults. I'm not sure I could ever go back.

Been listening to 1989 Taylor's Version in my car and I am struggling to see what it adds. In a few cases it takes away. 'Style', a standout track on the original, is flat and lifeless.

Vendors using videoconferencing solutions that require me to install something on my computer can proceed toward the ocean.

From a #sysadmin point of view, #python seems to have got increasingly messy.

One of those crazy days with a huge temperature swing.

They're nothing if not persistent. This is SMS scam spam.

Dell having an easily downloadable .ova image of an OneFS Powerscale node is incredibly useful, you can muck about to your heart's content with OneFS's elaborate networking and not worry about the phone ringing #sysadmin

I don't love 'Ubuntu Based' that much but more choice for OOTB #Linux laptops is always good news.

Porsche 963 LMDH pulling out of the pits at Spa on its hybrid electric motor, switching to ICE on track. The hybrid system deploys around 290kph and must combine with ICE to reach the regulation power output. The rear axle is used for regeneration of the li-ion battery system. #WEC #EnduranceRacing

I do like the OpenStreetMap house style, it reminds me of the Ordnance Survey maps back home. Great line detail and symbology.

#F1 Vegas GP on the horizon. A lot of controversy about the track, understandable given it is in a major American city, I'm sure they'll get used to it. One thing will be very interesting: These cars have not run these tyres in such cold temperatures. It is *going* to be a factor. Very curious how it turns out.

Finally weaned myself off Reddit and nuked the account. So tired of the relentless toxicity some of these platforms promote.
