Re: Twitter
It reminds me of fresh in the industry devs who have their chosen language that they understand (say, rails) and they come across a stack in something they're not familiar with (say, Perl) and they think the only way to solve the problem is by rewriting it in what they understand. I wonder if that'...
Re: Twitter
"Start over again" is generally the first solution of someone who thinks the problem(s) they face are big, confusing, and complicated They (foolishly) think doing it from scratch will be easier than sorting out the current, confusing mess I think anyone who's ever worked in software has ha...

Re: Tyre inflator/air compressor
If anyone's interested, the Ring RTC1000 that I bought has been reduced from £50 to £40 in their online January Sale

I've used it a few times now and it's really good

Re: Twitter
He probably can't answer publicly because it will jeopardise the fundamental security of the platform. I think you credit him with far too much common sense The only reason he now owns Twitter is because he Tweeted he would buy it, seemingly without any forethought I see he's now said he won't sell...

Re: The Watches Thread
The lugs on the new Longines are nicer than on the old too... The Alpinist is a classic Jobbo and I know it's one of your favourites At £650 though, I don't think it's good value (personally) I'm never quite sure why Seikos are so thick either. They always seem to be very chunky. Out of curiosity, w...

Re: The Watches Thread
I've been rather taken by the green version of the Longines Spirit 37mm of late: https://monochrome-watches.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Longines-Spirit-Green-Collection-8.jpg I'm not hugely keen on the date at 3 o'clock though - and is it me, or does the crown look like it's properly screwed in? ...
Re: Twitter
What are the investors going to do if Musk stands down? I don't think he will, so it may be a moot point. I did wonder if there would be something contractually in the funding agreements (about him remaining CEO, or something like that)? The investors are investing in him (rather than the thing he'...
Re: Twitter
I bet the people, banks etc that invested billions with him in his buyout of Twitter are thrilled that the man-baby is throwing his toys out of the pram and threatening to rage-quit because he's not got a clue what he's doing and is going off in the huff

That was great!
Re: Twitter
ElonJet isn't doxxing though? It's posting the locations of private jets? (not people) Yes, the two will coincide when these people are aboard their jets, but is Elon deliberately muddying the waters by equating the location of his jet, with his own personal location? He's such a man-baby though - i...

I think he's focussing too much on the "break things" part of "move fast and break things"
Literally everything he does goes wrong

Re: Mortgages
It feels like a major achievement, something that we're really pleased/relieved about, but that we can't celebrate or share with people
Curious feeling

Re: Mortgages
I don't feel at all smug though (I'm not being sarcastic BTW) I would. It’s a huge millstone to free from your neck. I’d love to be in the same scenario. I think it's seeing friends/family struggling with their mortgages/bills etc Helen and I are very boring; we're not from money; we don't earn big...

I feel very fortunate (and in some ways even guilty) that we managed to clear our mortgage this year...

23" wheels
I wonder if it's frustrating to the engineers to have to come up with clever solutions after the stylists demand 23" wheels?
The Purosangue is a horrible thing IMO

Re: Il neige!
Explosive Newt I saw a tip recently that said that it's more efficient to use heated seats/steering wheel etc than the blowers on an electric car Obviously on a petrol car, a lot of the heating is from the engine, so is "free", but getting warm using the air heater in an electric car uses...
