Storygraph. I don’t care for social features or recommendations so suits me well. I only like tracking my books and reading reviews.

Great news.

I’ve definitely noticed more butterflies myself this year. I saw a peacock butterfly the other day in what feels like years.

Windows open from 6-8am. Then closed along with curtains since. Seems to have worked well today. Though I’ve just had to relocate downstairs until that hot, yellow bastard goes away.

My 5700XT has been good to me, but not perfect.

I’ve had a few crashes to log-in screen early on in Marvel Rivals and on a couple of occasions in AC Valhalla.

I do need to turn off screen space reflections otherwise textures look grainy e.g. roads in Cyberpunk 2077 and guns in one of the Call of Duty games from 3-4 years ago.

This was rumoured/hinted at in Austria if I’m not daydreaming? Was it van Haren that tweeted it?

I’m halfway through listening to The Handmaid’s Tale. I went in blind and there have been some moments which are shockingly similar to recent events in the USA. I’m loving the way the world is slowly revealed to the reader.

Hope you enjoy them.

I started in mostly the same order last year and I’m already nine books down. I wanted to carry on with the Rincewind arc more than start new ones, but I actually ended up delaying some of my favourites so far.

+1 for XigXag. Their library has been expanding and books get cheaper the more you buy.

I just noticed it’s three chicks today.

Their YouTube channel has live streams for peregrines in Kettering and Tawny owls at Sculthorpe Moor.

Damn. Lawrence is taking that godfather aesthetic a little too far.

Agreed. I’m not a fan of his, but he’s quick and has had some great overtakes were he just won’t quit for several corners.

I guess they make this decision from seeing something in data we don’t get, but it seems harsh to drop Lawson after two tracks he’s never raced at and right before the track he knows quite well. He himself said on his recent Beyond the Grid episode that the first half of the season is rough for him, but the back-half he’s much more confident about.

• New car.
• Wet, new to him Melbourne. With car issues.
• New to him Shanghai.
• No substitute lined up (I wish Yuki. I wish so much pal)

He’ll be given time as long as he doesn’t take out Max.

Bullshit. Drivers are drivers, not role models. Why should we expect them to be exemplars of morals, and experts of cultural sensitivity? We don’t expect them to be well educated, great parents or philosophers.

Let them drive fast.

Those are used to replace “and” obviously.

“The FIA wishes to further confirm that during the Melbourne event all cars tested against the requirements of Article 3.15.17 and found to comply, therefore all cars raced in Melbourne were deemed to be legal.”

According to the article, and the FIA statement, none are guilty. I assume the “sufficient grounds” is that no-one needs additional time to meet the stricter requirements.

Marko is embarrassing

Is it too soon to predict a mid-season swap between Yuki and Lawson, Yuki performs consistent points finishes to be the number 2 Red Bull have been searching for, he remains at Red Bull for many years while Horner loudly grumbles until he retires?

Yeah… Tramnitz is getting a Red Bull seat before Yuki.

It’s always constructors standings from the previous season. The difference this year is splitting Red Bull to ensure the drivers champion is last.
