Amazon's first two Kuiper satellites launch tomorrow. Their business model is likely to be far more successful, as their approach is similar to how they started AWS. If by business model you mean 'lose money for years while developing a new technology to capture the market', that looks rather Musk'...

Which would be quite funny but is counterbalanced by the fact that it's Musk and it's even more space junk. Sure, Musk is both a total prick and a gigantic fucking idiot, but he's not the guy who made the tech. And it's horrific space junk. But there's no question the guys who livelihoods depend on...

Laolao. Not particularly unusual as a drink - it's just distilled rice spirit but it's a) incredibly cheap and b) rather easy to drink. Here are some photos of a well regarded Laolao distillery (according to our guide). The pigs get fed the leftovers and are therefore permanently pissed. https://i.i...

I fail to see how they cannot come to some sensible agreements on what the costs are. As a norm wages would be say 30% of revenues, in certain industries with higher staffing costs that might rise to 50% of revenues. As a norm certain clubs have been spending 60-90% of revenues on wages, and that's...

I have absolutely no idea about them, but could you do with one of those 4G signal boosters, which will at least give you data on your phone, and be able to hot spot it.

I'll be watching this game with an Irish mate in a South African owned beer shop.

As a neutral, somebody else is getting the piss ripped out of them which will make a change

I’m moving to a rural spot with no fibre broadband and worse less than a bar of 4g. Chatted to someone who lives nearby who said he was using Starlink (I’d never heard of it) and was delighted with it. Any users/opinions here? £75 a month, if you choose the rental option. I have a friend who uses i...

Stills are great, unless you’re serious about illustrating the entire sequence of events. He’s bound initially. He has to stay bound. You will not be able to find a frame where his right hand isn't bound near Du Toit's right armpit/back, or even a frame where the hand isn't visible but his body is ...

Even if you supposed it was, and even if you supposed he'd bound onto his own player, you'd struggle to keep a straight face claiming he hadn't changed his bind somewhat. And I can't see the bit where he rejoins from behind the hindmost foot (not unless it's on the Scottish side anyway) I've posted...

If Borthwick can get England to merely play tedious, unsuccessful rugby without ruining players that will be a step up.

If there’s a significant chance of death or of life changing harm then I’ll take a vaccine, else I’ll go for my immune system. That’s pretty much my philosophy. Earlier strains of Covid and the uncertainty made it worth it. But after omicron emerged the business case failed to stack up. I don’t thi...

Thanks, not seen the other angles. the way it was arrogantly waved away by the ref was very strange. Usually they would have at least had a look. Why the feck did they not just have a look? Didn't Peyper tell the Fijian captain they'd looked at in the background? I believe he said they had lookedat...

Utterly depressed. I’m sure borthwick will take the positives though 😔 Just like in his England captaincy days, "We're one step away from it clicking" as he faced up to another bullshit performance. At least Borthwick didn't wheel out the "We played some fantastic stuff out there&quo...

Now reported that the debt is £2.6billion. The council area has just over 100,000 people. So £26,000 for each person. At least, unlike Thurrock, they were borrowing to make genuine investments in the area’s infrastructure, rather than gambling on dodgy get rich schemes. Still no excuse for the moro...

You lot should sit down with UK Premiership football fans and see how their newly implemented version of TMO (VAR) is giving them the shits!!

You’re making that call on fairly poor, anecdotal evidence. This is part of what I’m trying to get across. Decisions based on equity are made with poor evidence and there are just no longitudinal studies into the impact of these policies. It all feels a bit ideological to me. And, bringing it back ...

Surprised at that. He’s generally pretty reliable from that sort of area.

Apart from when he's not which has happened a couple of times.

She’s nuts. Glad she’s going down. Fucking tragedy for the parents. What annoys me as much is the former Trust Board, who ignored the warnings for 2 years and deflected reports on her repeatedly.
