Does anyone know how long it takes for the ondrej/php repo to be patched usually?

Essentially there wasn't enough power going to the turbo which was causing it to spool down. They just allowed more of the electrical power to be used in order to keep the cars running.

I could hard code it to play the fried-liver and I'd still probably trip myself up occasionally.

To be fair it's a daily challenge. Try again tomorrow. But yes, I would love it if there were more game modes (similar to GeoGuessr)

Gonna need you to provide some sources on the 'ties to the Ukrainian government' there mate. I don't think there's any doubt that he spent time in Kyiv and posted videos encouraging people to join the foreign legion and help the fight.

But as far as I'm reading there isn't any indication that he had ties to the government outside of some Russian news outlets blaming Ukraine for the assassination attempt.

Thankfully it seems to be uniting the EU rather than dividing. Remains to be seen if they can get their act together though.

Donald Trump really should leave his fragile ego at the door and continue to support the USA's allies at this time. People forget that it was Zelensky refusing to lie which led to Trumps first impeachment.

At the very least this entire 180 and the attempt to humiliate Zelensky in the White House is Trump wanting to enact some kind of revenge.

At the very worst him praising Putin, threatening to leave Nato, threatening other allies, moving troops out of Germany and into Hungary, et all just reeks of something more.. conspiracy theory or not it's pretty disgusting as someone looking in from the outside.

Which also means they're banned in every running event sanctioned by world athletics.

It also has nothing to do with carbon but rather the stack height (>40mm is illegal).

Triathlon hasn't banned carbon shoes. They follow the same rules that World Athletics follows.

Rugby in New Zealand is a good example of this. Our small country with a small population is (and basically always has been) one of the top teams in the world.

Not only at the elite level, but our junior teams and even school teams perform well on the world stage.

Like you say, that social factor plays a huge part in it. Support, funding, etc etc

'nginx -t' exists as a general syntax checker, would be neat to expand it further to include these in depth checks.

I have 2 young kids, some of the best advice I've been given is that it's a good thing if your kids are occasionally bored.

Why? Because it forces them to problem solve and on most occasions they get pretty creative. I'll often get home from work and there will be a massive blanket fort through the living room, or some kind of obstacle course in the front yard.

Being bored is not a bad thing!

I know kids who have lived on iPads/TV/other devices from a young age, and they don't understand the concept of being bored and watching them try to grasp the concept of 'make believe' is downright painful.

And don't get me started on not being allowed to feel proud! Who hurt you?

I haven't used IRC in years, but when I started out with IRC/MSN Chat in 2001ish it was using mIRC. That piece of software can basically answer for my becoming a developer and the career I've had over the last 20 odd years.

My FB timeline is already a complete mess with most irrelevant garbage as it stands. Not exactly sure what adding additional 'noise' is going to achieve outside of boosting numbers (which I guess is what they want).

A current snapshot my feed:

  - Group post (from one I follow)  
  - Ad  
  - Post (from company I don't follow)  
  - Group post (from Group I don't follow)  
  - Group post (from one I follow)

I gave up writing the above, but it was about 9 more posts before I saw a post from a person I actually know.
