TIL this Fun Fact: Unfortunately, Chainsaws Were Invented for Childbirth
  • That wiki entry literally says that it was designed to help during childbirth…

    “for symphysiotomy and excision of diseased bone, respectively.”

    Follow the link for symphysiotomy and it says “Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem (obstructed labour).”

  • Jeremy Corbyn to run as independent candidate in UK general election
  • What’s the point? He won’t win by any stretch of the imagination, and the majority of votes he does get will be taken from the pool of voters who would ordinarily vote labour. All this does is benefit the tories. He’d be far better supporting Starmer, even if he doesn’t really.

  • Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”
  • Because I watched it and it’s very clearly CGI. Paint cans are an order of magnitude stronger than a wooden piano top, not to mention they wouldn’t all explode at the same time. The emoji ball didn’t just land at the edge. No one has a 10mx5m hydraulic press.

  • Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”
  • Do you really think paint cans are going to crush before a piano top? Absolutely no way. And to all burst at the same time?

    Not to mention, no one has a 10m x 5m hydraulic press.

  • Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”
  • They didn’t actually destroy them… it’s all CGI. And people are free to enjoy music how they feel. I’d rather listen to a streamed song from my phone while sitting on the train than sitting there playing my guitar… imagine 50 people in a train carriage all trying to play their own music.

  • Encrypted services Apple, Proton and Wire helped Spanish police identify activist | TechCrunch
  • Yes. They never gave away content of emails, because they couldn’t even if they wanted to. It’s encrypted.

    They gave the recovery email for the account to the authorities, which was an iCloud account tied to the user’s real name.

  • Explanation on why Norris' lap time was reinstated
  • Yes. Drivers could run wide to effectively open up the final corner and carry more speed down the pit straight. This prevents that.

    It doesn’t matter this weekend because there’s a gravel trap, so it’s only going to be to the drivers detriment.
