I was happy just to hear some upbeat national anthems for a change.
If those magats could read they'd be very upset with you.
In the words of Paul Simon - when it decides to call you Betty.
Oh no!
Anway...
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance
| Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | Max | Lewis | Charles | 2 |
| Laura | Max | Lewis | Sergio | 4 |
| Sam | Max | Fernando | Charles | 2 |
Ignoring Max, Laura's the only one to make any accurate predictions after Checo's improved performance. Ferrari being Ferrari is detrimental to Alex and Sam.
| Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Laura (9) | 25 | 2.78 |
| Lawrence (8) | 19 | 2.38 |
| Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |
| Will (6) | 9 | 1.50 |
| Rosanna (2) | 8 | 4.00 |
| Alex (2) | 6 | 3.00 |
| Sam (2) | 4 | 2.00 |
| James (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
Laura increases her lead as we head to Belgium for the last race before summer break.
Nyck getting the Latifi treatment...will be 21 out of 20 drivers.
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance
(Late because I had to wait 16 hours before I could watch and spent the entire day avoiding spoilers)
| Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James | Max | Sergio | Lewis | 4 |
| Jolyon | Max | Lewis | George | 3 |
| Laura | Max | Carlos | Lando | 3 |
| Lawrence | Max | Charles | Carlos | 2 |
James picks up useful points on debut. Jolyon can't match the clean-sweep of his only previous appearance this season. Laura the only one to put Lando on the podium gets an extra point for her efforts.
Season so far:
| Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Laura (8) | 21 | 2.63 |
| Lawrence (8) | 19 | 2.38 |
| Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |
| Will (6) | 9 | 1.50 |
| Rosanna (2) | 8 | 4.00 |
| James (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
| Alex (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
| Sam (1) | 2 | 2.00 |
Laura puts another point between herself at the top of the table and Lawrence. If Jolyon makes any more appearances he may have a chance to catch second.#
At the very least when I say "Alpha/Alfa" I won't have to specify Romero or Tauri.
r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to "comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes":
Formula 1 is inherently dangerous. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results. These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.
Formula 1 includes messaging and sponsors that are connected to alcohol, tobacco and gambling - all of which are legislatively prohibited or age restricted in various locations. We cannot prevent these from being displayed to underaged users, as they are incorporated in general Formula 1 imagery and content.
Formula 1 is known for, both in the past and today, to include certain risque imagery that fall within the NSFW space.
Reddit’s User Agreement states that “Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an Account or otherwise use the Services.” - As such it stands to reason that persons under legal age participate in r/formula1.
Switching our classification means Reddit’s age verification shields underage users from being exposed to content considered harmful.
An office they didn't even inhabit. Read the crazy story from someone who was there: https://mastodon.social/@rodhilton/110561579833908574
tl;dr: Twitter had plans to build out a massive office to consolidate all the small crappy offices they had in Boulder, CO. Pandemic came along. Jack Dorsey says everyone WFH permanently. Nobody thought to cancel the build. Build complete. Grand Opening (but don't show the hundreds of empty desks). Elon acquisition. Payments not made. Court-ordered eviction of new office building that wasn't occupied.
If you use Power Delete Suite there is the option to download your comments before editing (or just download). However it's not great if you've got years of comments. If you click the download button it caps out at about 65k. But if you inspect the button the full export is available in the href so you can copy that into notepad. However the formatting is not great (CSV unfriendly characters are escaped), so it's a bit of a clean up.
There is the alternative of requesting all your data from Reddit itself. A preview I saw from someone else shows a more extensive dataset than you get from PDS. I'm still waiting on my data request (it's only been a day and it can take up 30 days).
