Oh look this is relevant again
It is 2005, the internet is a distributed network of servers designed so that no one outage can take down the entire network
It is 2025, the internet relies on three companies, problems with any one of which can cripple a significant proportion of the global economy

there’s a major AWS outage going on right now that’s taken down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, Perplexity, Roblox, and lots more of the internet. US-EAST-1 is down and impacting a lot of services that rely on AWS www.theverge.com/news/802486/...

Pukki's final touch for Finland was his assist to Niklas Pyyhtiä's first goal for the men's team, some 5 minutes into his debut.

Teemu Pukki finishes his international career with a goal and an assist in a friendly versus Andorra, bringing his total G+A to a nice, round 60 (43G, 17A) in 133 appearances.
2nd-most capped (behind Jari Litmanen), all-time top scorer.
Kiitos Teemu! 🇫🇮🦉

I'll second this. Great book.
Notice that @aptshadow.bsky.social ’s Children of Time is 99p on kindle in the UK. If you have any interest in SF and haven’t read it, this is a no-brainer.

[scene is Winston Churchill in a bbc studio, giving his 'finest hour' speech]

CHURCHILL:
The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us.
2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.
3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-
BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister
4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?
5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill
6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -
CHURCHILL:
Hang on
7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -
8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here
BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate
9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate
You don't debate fascists
10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!
11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...
CHURCHILL:
Because you are a fascist Nazi Hit-
12
HITLER [standing up, saluting]:
RAUSS!
BBC PRESENTER:
*Please* Mr Churchill let him speak

Roared back up to 3.5m OR after a decent GW10.
Midfield still badly misfiring - already done Gordon to Enzo and have 1FT and £2.2m ITB to look at other options, but will probably roll and sort out after the International break.

The Full Moon is beautiful tonight, seen here over the Space Coast of Florida at 8:46pm (ET) as the International Space Station and its crew of 7 passed overhead.
Traveling @ ~17,500mph, it took less than 3/4 sec for the ISS to transit the face of the Moon.

Small red last week with 46 pts.
Bowen to Mateta has left 1FT and zip ITB. Roll the other one, or is there something likely to get me into the top 4m OR?
Not that i care anymore...

GW9 brings a small red thanks to Van de Ven, who of course i only sold a couple of weeks ago.
Just checked and i have had a massive TWO attacking returns from my midfielders all season. A goal from I Sarr and an assist from P Sarr.
2FT and clueless what to try next 🤔

Thought i could get away with gw7 before WC. 2m OR drop said otherwise 😬
Thoughts on draft WC?
Roefs, Chalobah, Caicedo and Woltemade are the most readily disposable so plenty of flexibility for decent suggestions 🙃

It is a joint statement from the Board of Deputies and the JLC. Its sad something like this needed to be said on the first Sabbath after Thursday but many people from every faith & none will be glad to see the clarity with which this longstanding position has been reiterated, and so can amplify it

Probably need a WC but not sure if it's worth it this GW🤔
Of the players who started >£8m, Haaland tops the points then next is Salah as 22nd highest scorer, so everything feels like a punt. Worth waiting until after the IB for more info?

Last Hurrah for Ollie Watkins as he outscores my entire midfield & defence.
Still getting chucked on the WC 👋
All done for #FPL this GW - should finish it in the giddy heights of top 3.5m!
Will be hitting that WC button very soon.

Woo Hoo. I've stormed in to the top 49.08% with my okayish BB.
Roughly a 2m rise to 5.4m OR.
Think that the sweet fixtures next week justify holding the forest and villa flops before WC7.
Trying out TC Robot 🤖 for size. Open to any thoughts on that 🙃
