F1 showed a strange "PROVISIONAL TOP 10" graphic at the end of the race there. Never seen that before. Combined with the lack of any information on Lando's sudden loss of pace... very odd!

Thanks, Google, I was quite proud of this little tableau.

It's thanks to electronic fuel injection and timing, which preecisely control the delivery of fuel and spark. In the 80s, carburettors and distributors were more common. Spark at the wrong time or an excessively lean mix could could cause the air fuel mix to combust in the intake.

equel: a piece of media that's neither sequel nor prequel, taking place around the same time as the events of the previous release

Abandoning Facebook means I can't search Marketplace for cheap shit but it also means I won't end up filling my house with a clutter of dying CRTs

begging defense analysts to stop writing stuff that assumes that operating a MQ-9 Reaper and operating a $400 FPV drone is pretty much the same thing and works about the same way

The benefit of going to Five Guys is that it's the only fast food place in Melbourne that has enough staff to keep the tables clean

What are y'all doing with weed that I can smell it radiating off your body from meters away

Excruciatingly sad. Betting Five Guys will make the difference.

Flat logos are dead, 3D IS BACK BABY!

Being springtime in Melbourne, we've had a lot of rain. This sometimes leads to washed out shows. However the historic commercial vehicle show did happen this year but was vastly down in numbers because of the weather. We loaded up Harry on the trailer, and took […] [Original post on weird.autos]

Proud of my article but can't help but feel editorial picked the wrong art for this one. hackaday.com/2025/11/19/w...

A lot of conspiracy-like answers to this, but there's a simple reason. A bipedal robot can go where humans go and do what humans do. Wheeled bots can't climb stairs. Four-legged bots can't open doors. Eight-legged bots get shot by terrified citizens. It's about living in the world as it exists.

Thanksgiving Pizza 🍜 'Tis the season for pizza crimes! Unsurprisingly, this was delicious (but very heavy, I need a nap lol) - used a thick turkey gravy as the base, then topped it with cheddar, brie, turkey breast, sage & onion stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Little known fact: You can contact Australian emergency services via text—by sending a message to 106.

When is it appropriate to say happy birthday to someone? How close do you have to be? Nobody uses Facebook to communicate anymore, but it's always notifying me of people's birthdays. I'm always trying to figure out whether I should reach out to say happy birthday to a given person or not.

Now they've been reverse engineered, I genuinely want to shoot a music video on one of these. With that said, I *really* don't want to buy used.

This is what the midiLATOR looks like in a live scenario

It's rapidly getting harder for trans people to leave the US; for some it's now functionally impossible to leave via legal routes. This is terrifying.

Half Life 3 should have LAN and modem play out of the box and the dedicated server should be compatible with Windows ME, don't @ me

Woo! Milestonesssss

I cry about this often

Within a week of learning this key combination I wiped an important school project and wept uncontrollably.

I turned a simple calculator into a fun little MIDI controller, breaking some stuff along the way. Here's how it's done. youtu.be/Yiq4fkdly04

Genghis Khan by Miike Snow has perhaps the best music video ever made (in my opinion) ((which is correct))

In Australia, the public broadcaster has a competition for high school bands. The prize used to be a professional studio recording session. They eventually dropped it, because the competition was always won by private schoolers who already had access to pro studios, mixing, and mastering.

Is anyone out there still using Band-Aids? I get a lot of nicks and cuts and the like but I'm just... leaving them to heal as is.

god, remember when the internet was fun like this?

If you were going to introduce a smart but non-techy noob to 3D design for 3D printing... what package would you start with? I like Fusion360 but I wonder if the cloud bullshit and fussy interface is a bit much for the beginner...

Someone was mean to me today for eating a bagel

Nonbarnacle

Makes even less sense when Black Friday sales apparently start late October in Australia

Rearranging my workspace about as often as I'm dying my hair new colors lately No, yeah, everything's fine, why do you ask? 🤣

They saw me taking cute pics at the Initial D showing and they gave me a poster and character cards 😊

"Lady, please! I said badge! BADGE!"

Fortnight = fourteen nights 🤯

Actually feel so stupid for not realising DVDs aren't even close to 1080p

I'm usually a patient and obliging person but woe betide anyone that makes me miss lunch

Settle an argument. If you see a nice car in public, say a Porsche or a Ferrari... is it a faux pas to lick the emblem? Boundary crossed, or no?

I love cars, and I love music. I got to shoot a music video with a fine fleet of cars. We drag raced, spilt vital fluids, and somehow kept a fussy German engine ticking over for the whole damn weekend. You can read the whole tale at @theautopian.bsky.social! www.theautopian.com/how-i-shot-a...

Truly the Vista of numbered Windows releases

We don't talk about regional kinks enough. In Western Australia they drink spearmint milk. A beverage crafted in sheer defiance of God, localised solely within its borders. Regular mint was not scathing enough. The green elixir needed the searing toothpastey flavor only spearmint could deliver.

Questionable article from Jalopnik. Not sure how iridium plugs would give an engine more "pep" or better fuel economy. www.jalopnik.com/2019720/copp...

He wakes up in the shower, and because he looks nothing like Daniel Craig... everyone knows it's a new story

The De Havilland Vampire, sitting proud atop its mount in Forbes, NSW.

oh god for a minute there I forgot there really was a Windows 8

What bothers me most is that thousands of educators thought it was totally okay to teach kids to guess instead of read

I'm not sure what vexes me more, that these are edible, or that people desire to eat them. ...okay, I'd probably try one

A feature I've pitched a few times: outlets should have a "random" button that shows you a quality longform article you haven't read before. Particularly easy to do for readers that are logged in to the site.
