5. cor anglais
French: 'English horn'
Not a horn; not English. Basicallly an oversized oboe.
In turn, the English are alone in calling the true horn French, even though the orchestral 'French horn' was mostly developed in Germany (Waldhorn = forest horn)

My first deliberate use of Chrome's AI mode is giving reverse-centaur vibes. You need ME to switch off how many disparate checkboxes?

They should really play sport here on a day like this, not just #STWS

Why hire John 2DR 6RS? Because he's eminently qualified

FV raises female player fees with the novel argument that this will make clubs (which don't receive any part of this fee) somehow find better facilities for them

Exciting advances in adslop!

Welcome to Japan National Stadium for Night 4 of the World Athletics Championships! Hoping to watch the impossible: Jess Hull besting Faith Kipyegon in the 1500m final

Objectively this is utter bollocks. *Sellers* are the ones advantaged by lack of comparable stock, not buyers. In a non-fantasy economy anyway

This is such a weird comment. Who better to deliver a message to a player than the person responsible for their welfare? Melbourne is not the only club doing it.

The Australian congratulating the CCP on its labour management practices in the occupied country of Tibet. Then throwing money at Elon to advertise those congratulations.

Round 11's data point fell on the regression line and Gold Coast won by 19 points (14 exp). Rowell handballed to Anderson 4 times and received 2 back.
The number of passes between these two is an unreasonably strong predictor of team performance in their 77 games since 2022 (6.7±2.0 points per pass)

I'm going to put this graph here and reveal the context on Monday with the latest data point added. See if you can guess from the axis labels. The slope is about 6, but it's unrelated to goals. Simple regression has p < 0.003 using either Shot Equity or actual points margin.

Albo promises to crush seals, wtf sort of policy is that?

Doesn't matter if the AI can detect 100% of weapons. If it is throwing up thousands of false positives vs literally two guns in the history of the sport, it is functionally useless. Blaming the staff is the ultimate punch down.

TIL: correct use of a semicolon on a sign

I have uncontrollable giggles. "Honor Omnia" translates as "Honour Everything". That plus the dinkum Aussie lion surprised to have a trumpet shoved in its gob

ALCOHOL SECTOR IN CRISIS!!!
(full-strength beer might cost one cent more)

Welcome back! After a self-imposed break of 2+ years from Twitter, I feel like this #graphcrime shouldn't be my first post on BlueSky. Yet I am compelled.
