Nearly at the end of White Lotus season 2. It's been a good series so far, I'm not exactly sure why I enjoy it so much but it has me hooked.

Yeah I think so.

I wonder how they'd scale something like this up though if it's a success?

Give it to my youngest kid. She'll put it somewhere where nobody can find it. Unfortunately this would also mean we can't find it either.

This is pretty tame honestly. Seen far worse at festivals and nights out in Cardiff!

And oktoberfest is another whole story!

Well in my mind few years ago was 1999...

Seriously though I thought this only happened within the last 10 years, TIL.

During some war games a few years ago, the Dutch Navy managed to score a hit against a US Navy carrier using a diesel sub.

Like someone else said here, carriers are big, slow targets, it's not impossible for something to sneak past and sink them.

Do you remember the good ol' days in F1 when we had:

Yeah I was subbed to both when I first joined Lemmy, but this one seemed more active. I've since blocked lemmy.ml so wouldn't see it anyway.

Does one of them make loud demands to move the furniture harder over and over and get very enthusiastic when their parter moves it correctly?

Is the other one on lemmy.ml?

It would be good if Lemmy had a "snooze community" feature where you could not see posts in any feeds for a specified amount of time. So basically on a race weekend you could snooze the community for 3 days or whatever and no posts would appear in your feed.

Edit: raised it as a feature enhancement on Lemmy's Githhub page, but was closed as the devs don't have enough time, which is fair enough.

This feels reminiscent of Mercedes in 2022 when they suddenly found themselves in the upper-midfield and were apologising to fans, as if it were just a temporary blip. They couldn't accept their new position after winning for so long.

The recall of parliament from its Easter recess, only the sixth Saturday sitting since the second world war, was ordered after negotiations with British Steel’s Chinese owners, Jingye, appeared to break down.

Opening Saturday’s debate, Reynolds said the government had been in talks with Jingye since it came to power last July and had offered “substantial” support. Most recently, Labour had offered to purchase the necessary raw materials for the blast furnaces, the last primary virgin steel-making facilities in the UK, but this had been met with a counter offer from Jingye demanding “an excessive amount” of support.

Reynolds continued: “Over the last few days, it became clear that the intention of Jingye was to refuse to purchase sufficient raw material to keep the blast furnaces running; in fact, their intention was to cancel and refuse to pay for existing orders. The company would therefore have irrevocably and unilaterally closed down primary steelmaking at British Steel.

So they were trying to shut down a critical piece of steel production for the UK, no doubt to then try and get us to purchase steel from China instead. Can see the seriousness of the situation in regards to recalling parliament to renationalise the plant.

Never heard of anyone say the second.

Probably Strongbow at a house party when I was 14.

Ah right, that makes sense, thanks!

What exactly does "scaled" mean?
