Did we watch different videos? The only person who seemed in favour sounded like he was German. One person was worried that you get less mileage in your car with kilometres. Another mentioned that Britain used to rule the world and now it’s “part of a community”, which they said “ain’t right”. Yet another said they fought 10 years in the war (?) to keep things how they are, but now people want to change everything.

All in all, the sentiment was overwhelmingly negative.

Pets.com went bankrupt within 12 months of its IPO. It was ahead of its time.

The mlem app shows a “karma” score — both for me and all of you lot.

I’m resisting the urge to recreate r/Peloton (a sub about pro bike racing) before someone uses the name for a community based on those dumb exercise bikes.

Presidents keep their title so he’s still “President Trump”. I hope his prison guards will respect that.

This argues in favour of not prosecuting, right? As with “any other defendant”, the likelihood of securing a conviction is an important consideration — it’s just that the calculation is very different with such a high-profile and divisive figure. Nobody really benefits from Trump going to prison and the trials would cost a fortune. Better to bankrupt him with tax proceedings.

Seems more like it’s going to be celebrity pro-am golf, with the celeb amateurs being from other sports that Netflix has produced documentaries about — which would be tennis (Breaking Point), Formula One (Drive to Survive), maybe cycling (Tour de France: Unchained)?
