Obviously, check the price before booking. I assume like most things here it can either go up or down as you get closer depending on demand.

I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.

Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

Williams is probably more likely than Merc or something.

Probably Ferrari though.

I mean, you could fill it with gravy, then it would be a gravity gravy train 😆

There are too many idiots around to assume sarcasm . (Definition of idiot may differ depending on political affinity)

I believe it would be a 45 (actually 42) min journey under gravity power only?

(Assuming frictionless travel in a vacuum...)

Not as enlightening as their credit card article, but still an interesting read.

There are some interesting ideas in there that I hadn't heard of. Interesting article

From what I understand he doesn't have an exit clause on Newey leaving, but if he wants to go he can go, not like he doesn't have enough money.

I don't really see Max going to another team though, more likely another racing series. Wouldn't put it past him to get bored and come back though!

Hero of Ages

I assume either TenSoon or a Kandra of the first generation when they were turned on by the second generation. Probably TenSoon as he was put on trial right?

They are upping the rates on their fixed rate deals ( 5.84% for the next two years for example).

Because these rates can't be changed once agreed the banks forecast what they think the cost of their borrowing will be over the next two years (based on the central bank/gov interest rates) and set a customer facing rate that is competitive but will make them good money.

They have been setting their rates with the assumption that the government set interest rates will fall sharply this year. That would mean they could give customers an interest rate that's lower than the current government rate now because in a years time the government rate will have fallen and the customer would still be paying the fixed (higher) rate they agreed. (Making the bank good money)

However, inflation is proving more entrenched than expected and the government isn't reducing interest rates like expected. The banks are therefore not offering those lower interest deals to customers as they're not expecting to make it back later.

So this is that 90% of a factories CO2 emissions are not being captured by it's on site carbon capture facility. (Not that the carbon capture plant is releasing emissions).

On my (quick) read of the article, I don't think it said why that was. Was the plant at capacity, or did it have headroom, but the CO2 was just not being effectively captured to be stored?

I think this is before he was enslaved Kaladin? Artists description is:

Cover made for part 2 of the Danish version of Brandon Sanderson's "The Way of Kings". The scene depicts the first time we see the bond of Syl and Kaladin.
