Hotel task extended cut coming soon!!
  • I genuinely looked away from it and didn't quite recover from it until half way through the workout task. And I thought the saliva task from S13 was bad.

    Alex puts up with an impressive amount of bullshit...

    To be fair, it seems to be a thing in his regular life. Greg mentioned it in the episode, but I think Tim Key also said Alex would eat anything when challenged.

  • Hotel task extended cut coming soon!!

    I am really hoping they'd have what happened with the lunatics team's spa treatment! I assume it's going to be basically a torture chamber given Alex's at the mercy of the two most unhinged contestants in the history of this series!

    Taskmaster S16 E7 I’m Off to Find a Robin
  • This is probably my favourite episode! I enjoyed it from start to finish! Sue's "please don't make me fart in the dark listening to my own name!", then the reveal of Wayne just put the biggest smile on my face. I was as excited as they were. And the tension of the placement of their cardboard selves. Soooo good! I loved it so much!

  • Elon Musk Gets Torn Apart for Saying "Bladerunner" Would Drive a Cybertruck
  • I was listening to a Hard Fork, the NYT tech podcast and they made a good point. Billionaires like him can have anything they want, so they have nothing else to chase for other than the high of people reacting to their antics.

  • Woman arrested over suspected mushroom poisoning
  • From ABC

    Police said the other three attempted murder charges related to separate meals in 2021 and 2022 that made a 48-year-old Korumburra man ill.

    Probably they got new info from the husband about possible previous attempts and that was enough to indicate intent.

  • Woman arrested over suspected mushroom poisoning
  • Felt like the search should have happened when they found she chucked the dehydrator out at the latest. But it seems like they have substantial evidence of intent to support the murder charges.

  • Apple Unveils New Space Black Color for M3 Pro and M3 Max MacBook Pro
  • That's pretty cool. Other than the 90s see through colourful laptops (which I think I'm only fond of because of nostalgia), I also miss those black and white MacBook designs of.the 2000s. Good to see black Mac is making a come back.

  • The magic genie has appeared to grant you your wish. What small thing do you wish for that would have the biggest positive impact on the world?
  • Not sure if it's a small thing but I think I would change it so good deeds make a bigger impression on people than the bad.

    It's a bit of a rainbow sunshine kind of wish but it's human nature to remember bad things easier than the good, it's a survival instinct to protect ourselves. But with all these conflicts and discrimination, big or small, if people don't let fear dominate, everyone would cut each other more slack.

    Of course this requires everyone to have the same mindset to work, that's why I think making that small change in human nature at its core is the only way, and only a genie could pull that off.

  • Taskmaster S16 E5 Skateboard Division
  • I think unless they're competitive like Ed, Rose, Dara, James, etc, they would prefer to show up less prepared for more comedic effect. Also to be fair, Katherine bashed out several random miracles in a small space of time, I barely remember it myself, as a die hard TM fan.

  • Taskmaster S16 E5 Skateboard Division
  • I, like Sue, assumed she was in the clear since she completed her task. But it was still very moving how Sue graciously accepted it right away and just happy to help a friend. Julian's comment about LGBT community in conclusion just topped it off. I didn't expect Taskmaster to make me feel teary.

  • IDF says assessment shows failed Islamic Jihad rocket launch caused Gaza hospital blast
  • I don't know... I wouldn't be surprised considering they threatened one million Gaza residents to evacuate within which is unachievable. They are already trigger happy. I wouldn't put it past them. That said I don't trust either side.

  • What's the worst spoiler that you've inadvertently given to someone? (Please use spoiler tags.)
  • Apparently like this:

    ::: spoiler Bible Spoiler
    Jesus dies in the Bible!
    :::
    

    To appear like this:

    Bible Spoiler

    Jesus dies in the Bible!

    Line breaks are a must. It seems like some apps like Voyager doesn't support spoiler tags so you may need to look again in the browser if this doesn't look right.

  • The Walking Dead. Twice.

    First time was when a coworker was telling me how good second season was and I should give it another shot. I ended up binging it then later talked to him about how shocking it was when it was revealed

    spoiler

    you'd turn no matter how you die.

    Turns out he hadn't finished the season yet.

    Second time was the third season when

    spoiler

    Merle died. I was rewatching it with someone and when Merle was acting all heroic before his rogue suicide mission, I commented that it's such a trope when a hated character do something uncharacteristically selfless before they die so they could make us feel something for them in the last minute. In my weak defence, when I watched it for the first time, I thought it was pretty clear it was a suicide mission, but apparently it is not.

    RIP Kobo’s excellent Pocket integration.

    I'm devastated. Pocket is what I spent 80% of my time reading. It was seriously the best way to read articles.
