As Nico would've put it; that was unnecessary.

Well, he already made it up one place, thanks to Sainz's misfortune.

I'm not familiar with the story you're referring to, but typically a hard landing doesn't necessitate a search/rescue team. Unless it's a very hard "landing" into the side of a mountain, for example.

They're still on the air?! Wow.. I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they're still on the air now is fun.

They probably weren't too concerned with the emissions from the leaf blowers themselves, but the dust and whatnot they whip up into the air.

In Norwegian, speed bumps = fartsdumper.

You might be surprised at how many people don't really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.

Things like "what should I search for to find X" is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.

I haven't really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I'm perfectly happy with it.

Personally I find this creature absolutely adorable.

On many bottles I've encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you're good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.

The Alpine looks so different now that they got it down to the weight limit. /s

Eating a plane really accelerates the ageing process.

"Fitte" is a norwegian word for pussy, so apparently that was all it took to get a giggle out of me today.

Gamle Aker Kirke, church from 1150 (Oslo).

It's disgusting how many things people can still do without being exposed to advertising.

Loudspeakers: Imagine how many speakers there are in the world, and how often they're not playing anything. All loudspeakers should always play ads if not utilized for anything else.

Edit: I went hiking last weekend, and while out there the silence was deafening. Out in the wild, where it's relatively quiet, we'd only need to place speakers every few hundred meters to efficiently broadcast ads to hikers and such.

".. to the development of other important company programmes".

That makes it sound like he'll be scrubbing toilets.

I was under the impression that the floor/diffuser throws up as much, or more, water than the tires, so while reducing spray from the wheels would certainly help there would still be a small tsunami behind the cars on a very wet track, no?

A couple of years ago I interviewed a guy living in SF who wanted to come over to Norway, to work as a software developer. I asked him why he wanted to make the move and he went on about how he had to get outta there, how he had lost all faith in the country and did not see a good future for himself if he stayed.

At the time I thought to myself that he was being a bit dramatic, but the more I read about how the US is treating its people these days the more I think understand what he was on about.

He made the move, btw.

Alternatively, just salad, just bowls, just wraps and just more.

That roof looks like it could potentially be a bit.. leaky. Good thing the inspector is up there to take a look.
