Watching a football game from the worst seat: "Make me cry, make me cry!"
A slow lap can be done by driving through the pits (or is there some other alternative road?). A car has to do a slow lap if he did not have DRS for 2 laps while the car following did have DRS.
DRS time can be extended to 2 or 3 seconds.
Pay wall.
Joost goes emotionally deep at the end of his performance and he needs time to recover when leaving the stage. After rehearsals the team had already discussed it with production team and it was agreed that he would not be filmed. Then on Thursday after the second semi-final, it happened anyway and he pushed the phone-camera away.

Statement AVROTROS regarding disqualification of Joost Klein
Nederland gediskwalificeerd van het Eurovisie Songfestival 2024
Just now, AVROTROS has released a statement about what happened on Thursday night with Joost Klein:
>We have taken note of the disqualification by the EBU. AVROTROS finds the disqualification disproportionate and is shocked by the decision. We deeply regret this.
>An incident occurred after last Thursday's performance. Against clearly made agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This wasn’t respected. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police.
>Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed several solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has still decided to disqualify Joost Klein. AVROTROS finds the penalty very heavy and disproportionate. We stand for good manners -let there be no misunderstanding about that- but in our view, an exclusion order is not proportional to this incident.
>We are very disappointed and upset for the millions of fans who were so excited for tonight. What Joost brought to the Netherlands and Europe shouldn’t have ended this way.

Eurovision 2024 - What is happening? Perspective from inside the Press Room
Horrendous is the word of the day in the Press Room.
Guilty until proven innocent.The Netherlands should not broadcast this program until the police has finished their investigation unless Europapa is included.
Interesting: although the Dutch news outlets carry extensive messages about Karim B and his escape, none of them mention that it was him threatening Princess Amalia or PM Rutte. Amalia actually went to Spain to study because of the increased danger in Amsterdam. And then they find Karim B. also in Spain....
I wonder how credible this Politico article is and what the stories in Spanish outlets are. Please share links...

The underlying cause for that click-baity title is that placement autorities do not care much about language barriers. Which in turn is a result of NEET, if I understand correctly. TN government has asked a few times for exemption from NEET but did not succeed. The BJP appointed TN governor refuses to sign the TN NEET bill.
These Russians like to go abroad to let their beast out. Ukraine is their favorite.
If it is 63mm, you should replace the cartridge. Check this image:
1& 2 is fuser, rollers 3-7 are part of the toner cartridge.
Hmm. In a former life a repaired large size laser printers. We would measure the distance between these lines, and a table would tell us which drum/roller was causing effects like this (it is the circumference).
What is the distance between the lines? In mm please.

New Delhi- In a poignant open letter addressed to Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, members of various civil society groups and activists have expressed deep conc
The letter questions India's commitment to being the world's largest democracy and refers to the words of jurist John Rawls, stressing the importance of justice and the need to reform or abolish unjust laws and institutions. The plea is for the judiciary to uphold equal liberties and protect rights secured by justice, emphasizing that such rights should not be subject to political bargaining or social interests.

Loud alarm from my phone's speaker came with it.
Just wondering what happens in traffic if everybody at a crossing gets these alarm sounds from their phone at more or less the same time.
Announcement of ‘security threats’ follows Justin Trudeau’s claims India was involved in Sikh activist’s killing
Relations between India and Canada have further deteriorated after Delhi announced it was suspending visa services for Canadians due to “security threats” faced by its embassy and consulates in Canada.
BLS International, which runs the Indian visa offices in Canada, put a notice on its website stating that all visa services for Canadians were suspended until further notice, citing “operational reasons”.
Arindam Bagchi, a spokesperson for India’s foreign ministry, confirmed the suspension at a media briefing, mentioning “the incitement to violence, the inaction by the Canadian authorities and the creation of an environment that disrupts the functioning of our high commission and consulates” as the reason.

Should Canada impose similar visa restrictions on Indian citizens, it could have a significant impact. Indians topped the list last year of legal immigrants to Canada, with more than 118,000 becoming permanent residents in 2022. There are also more than 320,000 Indian students studying in Canadian universities.
India rejects as ‘absurd’ allegation by PM that it was responsible for fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil
Justin Trudeau has said there is “credible evidence” India is responsible for the alleged assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Canadian Sikh leader, a claim Delhi dismissed as “absurd”.
The Canadian prime minister told the House of Commons of Canada on Monday that, in recent weeks, national security authorities had been probing allegations that New Delhi was behind a state-sponsored assassination.

Macaque enjoying the Indian evening
South India, viewpoint in the mountains near Yercaud.
Used the auto-focus which adjusted on the bushes behind the monkey, leaving the monkey unfortunately out of focus. I like the atmosphere of this photo, although it took some exposure adjustments in the editor to get it this way.
spoiler
The Macaque is facing towards the camera.
