Watching coverage now and grateful I don't live in the UK where it looks like there's no way to watch it! Looks like the classic "can they do it on a cold, rainy night in ~~Stoke~~Bournemouth" game.

Team: Kelleher. Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas, Elliott, Endo. Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Szoboszlai

Substitutes van Dijk, Konaté, Núñez, Mac Allister, Adrián, Jota, Gravenberch, Scanlon, Alexander-Arnold

Surprised we're starting Mo - although he does get to wear the armband. Maybe he couldn't resist those lovely white and green shirts lol.

No idea how Mo can shrug it off with a smile when someone grabs him with two arms and wrestles him to the ground with not even a foul given.

I think there's an assist there for Darwin - which breaks his "I only assist for Mo" record.

Edit: apparently I'm wrong... I guess makes sense that the post breaks the chain. The streak continues!

It's certainly feels like there's a 2nd goal in here for Toulouse.

Also it looks like the away end is on fire. No... literally on fire. Camera caught a brief shot and it's a solid mass of flares... you can see the smoke starting to drift across the rest of the pitch now.

Commentary:

"Endo didn't need to do much with that cross"

"The technique on that header was excellent"

🙃

Talk about a manager stamping their style on a team, this feels like nothing more than all those Dyche Burnley games.

Solid side out today - doesn't matter where Everton are in the table, this one always matters. Glad Richarlison is no longer an option for them... always felt like he couldn't keep his head.

We FINALLY got there today on "the last day" - only to discover they've extended it for a week :)

I'll admit not my favourite - I prefer the exhibits where you can see workings and watch machines work. But very interesting, as always - there's always great conversations and thoughts to have around the exhibits and personally I find that as fascinating as the exhibits themselves. Like today we realized that, in "No Longer Adrift", the focus is on the microscopic fragments of dust gathered from the airport lounges, but the same patterns of dust movement seen in the other two exhibits can also be thought of as similar, on a larger scale, to the movement of the planes and the people that brought the dust into the airport lounges.

Pride "10 days" doesn't have quite the same ring to it! Nice to see so many events that it can't be crammed into a single week.

I definitely used to look forward to Thursday publication date even just a couple of years ago. Always exciting to see what made the lead story (and the awesome photos that Jennifer Gauthier would always nail for the cover shot)

I think digital-only is only going to make the current situation worse. I love it for local news but hate the corporate/non-local stuff that's forced down the chain from Glacier Inc and all the rage-baiting letters. At least on physical paper there was a limit to the space given the need to publish local stuff. Online they can include as much as they like.

Nice timeline of local papers in The Anchor today: https://newwestanchor.com/p/highlights-timeline-new-westminster-newspapers-2023

Sorry to hear :( Feels like we're all one momentary lapse of concentration (usually someone else's) away from a life-changing coming-together. I've lost track of the situation with the shifting sands of ICBC and what they will/won't do these days, but can you claim against them for a) any out-of-pocket medical expenses (eg physio) and b) damage to bike/helmet?

Ahhh right, sorry - must read more carefully - I see you've already said ICBC will cover the helmet. If you get the bike in for a mechanic to look over & give you an estimate then presumably they'll cover that as well?

I've never understood why there's a fuss about default wallpaper. It ships with a dozen options and you can obviously install your own. I guess it's the opportunity for a news story and a sign that things have reached a certain level of development and are getting close to release.

Personally, I saw the item on installing your own dynamic wallpaper at https://www.omglinux.com/dynamic-wallpapers-for-gnome-desktop/, followed the instructions on github and set up a lovely time-of-day based wallpaper based on the game Firewatch (https://github.com/manishprivet/dynamic-gnome-wallpapers#code-firewatch) - I love all the sunrise/sunset options there but if you've played Firewatch then this one might speak to you :)
