Ukraine wanting to use their drones again?
We’re having the discussion in the office about getting a coffee machine - the main issue is that the kitchen is near the work area where people spend a lot of time on Teams, and they can get quite noisy. Today’s whiteboard poll is Coffee Machine or Air Fryer.
Having just recently got an air fryer at home and just discovered the joys of air-fried bacon, I’m still on the side of Coffee Machine.
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Predictions Performance
Laura playing it safer than Lawrence and Will gives her an extra two points (who is Ferrari, anyway?).
Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|
Laura | Max | Sergio | Alex | 4 |
Lawrence | Max | Lewis | Alex | 2 |
Will | Max | Lewis | Alex | 2 |
Laura extends her lead even further. Lawrence has a lot of work to do to keep in contention.
Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |
---|---|---|
Laura (12) | 33 | 2.75 |
Lawrence (11) | 24 | 2.18 |
Will (9) | 17 | 1.89 |
Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |
Rosanna (2) | 8 | 4.00 |
Alex (2) | 6 | 3.00 |
Sam (2) | 4 | 2.00 |
James (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
I drove from Palmy to Wellington early yesterday morning. Put on cruise control at the start of two lanes north of Ōtaki and didn’t touch the pedals until heading down Ngaranga Gorge (minor adjustments to CC via control buttons).
But they use lava lamps as a RNG! (oblig Tom Scott)
In the words of Paul Simon - when it decides to call you Betty.
Oh no!
Anway…
Something I didn’t expect to come across this morning, Carrie Underwood opening for Guns 'n Roses, and rocking out with Ace of Spades.
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction’s Performance
Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|
Laura | Max | Lando | Alex | 2 |
Lawrence | Lando | Oscar | Sergio | 1 |
Will | Max | Sergio | Lewis | 4 |
Lawrence bottled his return, failing to capitalise on Laura’s out-there predictions with even more out-there predictions himself, but Checo earns him a consolation point. Will makes a solid effort on his return.
Season standings at Summer Break
Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |
---|---|---|
Laura (10) | 27 | 2.70 |
Lawrence (9) | 20 | 2.22 |
Will (7) | 13 | 1.86 |
Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |
Rosanna (2) | 8 | 4.00 |
Alex (2) | 6 | 3.00 |
Sam (2) | 4 | 2.00 |
James (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
Will’s useful points haul pulls him up to 3rd equal (but 4th when taking average points per appearance into consideration). Laura making a decent start with her almost full season of appearances (contrasting with only making five appearances in 2022).

Section 30.5d of the Sporting Regulations:
Normal weekend (13 dry, 4 inters, 3 wets):
Sprint weekend (12 dry, 4 inters, 3 wets):
They get additional inters if practice/qualifying sessions are declared wet and they use a set.
So it’s your fault, then. Only thing out there is the sweepers.
It should at least be more exciting than Hungary. Race so boring Jolyon restorted to talking about the waterslide in his analysis (full version on F1TV).
Zhou learning a bit too much from his team mate about how to handle turn 1 at Hungary.

Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alex | Max | Lewis | Charles | 2 |
Laura | Max | Lewis | Sergio | 4 |
Sam | Max | Fernando | Charles | 2 |
Ignoring Max, Laura’s the only one to make any accurate predictions after Checo’s improved performance. Ferrari being Ferrari is detrimental to Alex and Sam.
Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |

Laura (9) | 25 | 2.78 |
Lawrence (8) | 19 | 2.38 |
Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |

Laura increases her lead as we head to Belgium for the last race before summer break.

Just received the invoice from the sparky after our mains entry point burnt out and needed an after-hours replacement. It’s in the ballpark I was expecting (in fact maybe a bit under), but not so high that it’s worth going through house insurance to only save a couple of hundred once I pay the excess.
Is this just a case of swapping the router’s upstream DNS to Adguard’s? (IIRC I have google and Orcon set on mine).
