I haven’t even seen it yet but had heard about the butterflies.  I’d dismissed it as a crazy rumour, because it’s just a terrible idea and Asia comes off as pretty sensible.  But no.  Poor butterflies and poor Asia :-(

I remember this guy from the 2014 World Cup!  Glad to see it wasn’t a once off.

I don’t usually cut the top off the egg even though that’s the fancy way of doing things. The way I work it is:

Right?  Obviously his spending is out of control and the whole story is insane, but surely just shifting some of his booze would go a long way to covering debt.

Right? He’s still sitting on a mountain of assets from what I can tell.... Real estate, art, cars etc. They might not shift quickly, but they can be converted to cash. The whole article is batshit insane, but broke isn’t how I’d describe him.

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! That wasn’t too bad! I was expecting the team to get a thumping so woo!

For sure, but same principle. Assume your users are going to be morons who won’t read the manual and design for that. “I shouldn’t be taking a nap while my car drives itself?! You can’t tell me what to do!!” or “I shouldn’t be bombarding the system with requests that check for results every second when the system…

Engineers are required by the professional ethics to pay attention to such issues, of course, which is why we do have safeguards even for out-of-bounds behavior.

He’s on the Tour de Suisse right now! Yesterday’s attack in the final climb didn’t totally work out for him, but maybe today.

Was it that documentary that had the segment about the cyclists being so doped up that they had to sleep with heart monitors that alerted them in case their HR was too low, and they’d have to get on a stationary bike in the middle of the night to get their heart rates back to “normal”?

I mean, if it’s a different timeline, he could be teaching in Australia by way of the US?

Us too! We’re coming up on 20 years together (god I’m old). When you know, you know.

I totally get it! Honestly, I think Iceland need to really watch what they’re doing with tourism. People used to go for the amazing landscapes, but now it’s about the “cool” factor with a lot of folks not really giving a crap beyond being able to say “I’ve been to Iceland”. I think they need to focus on sustainable…

Oh god, those hotdogs were SUCH a bummer.

That sounds legit lovely!

Thanks! I don’t know what I was expecting, but that description took a turn at the end! Curiosity now satisfied.

Seriously about the Insta comments??? People are ridiculous. I mean, I’m invested in the show, but it’s a SHOW. Why on earth do people feel it’s OK to harass and bully others, I’ll never understand.

My husband just booked the ferries last weekend. I think this is probably the most pre-booked holiday we’ve ever been on! But I totally didn’t twig just how busy the first three weeks of September would be until AFTER booking our flights (research faaaaail), so then we got a hustle on and booked everything a couple…

Yikes, ok, so that’s another cost to factor in. The West Coast is SO expensive! I’m praying for my credit card... It’s weird because if I know upfront that the cost of a dish is 30$, then I’m fine with it, but if it’s 25$ + 20% it looks more expensive? It’s hard to bread the mentality that I’m giving someone 20%…
