@Pushka I had more near misses on the road in my bright red car than either of my other cars. Apparently it was invisible

Yes. My sons car was red and was totalled while parked. It's like it's a beacon or something.

Red cars are invisible.

Red cars are invisible.

Especially if you are colour blind.

We need [digital systems] with no glitches. People expect nothing to go wrong, so no glitches.

Line uttered by an obvious d-h'd of a journalist in the UK. Shows a complete and utter (or naive) lack of knowledge of real world systems. And he's just going on and on about it.

The only way to have zero risk is to not have the system with the risk at all.

If you can't have zero risk, you do your best, but then you also have backup plans or contingency procedures. You can't have zero risk.

First game sold out in 30 minutes.
Apparently it cost $15m for the rights to host and it is expected to bring in $300m to the local economy.

I think we imported Rugby League and AFL into America. I think there's that round in Vegas for the NRL every year.

At least there's no sports tariffs

Yes, also silly. That was more about gambling and the US governments didn't subsidise the deal unlike here.

People in art exhibitions that have no self awareness. The same women twice barged into me because she just kept walking backwards to get a different perspective and I was at 90 degrees to her looking at something else. When she laughed and said ooh I've done it again I restrained from saying something very rude
