If the wallabies score a try I will be astounded. Have seen nothing resembling a functioning backline all match. Joseph Sualii must be thinking he could be paid $2m a year and never run the ball
It would be the most thing ever to win by 54 points tomorrow and put Canberra out of the 8

Just realised the reason my webcam isn't working is I had the privacy shield in place. Don't Zoom when jetlagged, people.

At Vought, we believe in providing a safe and welcoming work environment for employees. That’s why we’ve removed Starlight from the famous mural at Vought Tower at a somewhat minimal cost to shareholders. Now important business can resume without a traitor looking on!

And now we're in the F1 sponsorship section of the #VMwareExplore2022 keynote. Feels like I've been getting this 'We're an F1 team and we use data to go faster, made possible by [insert tech company sponsor]' spiel for my entire career

Nice to get virtual core licenses for Windows Server, but Microsoft is also passing off a legal settlement as generosity to customers and channel.

FWIW that sort of response (often expressed with angry disdain ) is the dominant form of media criticism I see on Twitter. Should Nikkei have done better? Yup. If you want that to happen, subscribe so they can hire specialists.

Trump hated the fact that his White House leaked. Keeping docs describing humint sources smells like attempted revenge to me
