@TerryTowellingg @Coobacca @markcousinsfilm No - if you want to look at your phone during the film YOU can watch them at home.

Cinemas have clear rules here that they are entitled to set. If you go to the cinema, you are agreeing to those rules.

If you want to make the rules, you watch at home or build your own cinema.

@DanNoall We’ve loved watching this trailer at LFF! It’s a fantastic edit! The BFI always puts out the best trailers.

[Nicholas Carson-Ashurst @NicholasAshurst]

@nonregemesse Yeah fair enough - it’s a pricey one.

I haven’t! Which work in particular?

[Nicholas Carson-Ashurst @NicholasAshurst]

@nonregemesse The other, less glamorous alternative, put forward by David Woods, is that he slipped and died in the bath by accident!

[Nicholas Carson-Ashurst @NicholasAshurst]

@nonregemesse Another alternative can be found in the Armenian sources: that the conspiracy was organised by Mu'awiya on the suggestion of a conspiracy of senior Constantinopolians.

It's a long explanation, so here's Howard-Johnson in Witnesses to a World Crisis p225

@ESPNUK This is false reporting.

The full quote ends: “I've also coached the best clubs in the world. Maybe we can talk about it again in a few months.”

So he’s taking a sabbatical.

As he always said he would.

This is not news.

Great to hear @McDonalds have spent 7 years optimising their burger buns whilst still not offering a single gluten free burger option for coeliacs 🙃

So pleased that their glutinous buns are staying warmer for longer though.

McDonald’s says it spent the past 7 years making the “new” Big Mac.

Looks the same but here are changes:

▫️New thick brioche bun (stays warmer)
▫️ New process to dehydrate + rehydrate onions
▫️1/2oz special sauce (vs. 1/3oz)

And a very specific burger update: it “calibrated the gap on the metal clamshell that presses burgers on the grill down to the millimeter, to avoid pressing too hard and squeezing out all the juices”, per WSJ.

McDonald’s also found that cooking 6 burgers patties at a time (instead of 8) improved consistency and taste.

These updates feel minor but McDonald’s has to co-ordinate across 40k+ franchise stores and sells millions of Big Macs a year.

And they can’t drop the ball: burgers make up 40% of all fast-food sales and brings in $130B+ a year across all chains.

Previous overhauls that McDonald’s made to the Big Mac process were:

▫️1980s: Stopped grilling burgers with onions on top (and stopped hand-searing patties)
▫️1990s: Stopped toasting the bun (but they reversed this after franchisees complained that un-toasted buns suck)

I have no idea if the new Big Mac is better but find the specificity of these changes hilarious (and think that fries with Big Mac sauce go hard AF).

@RomeInTheEast Insanely picky, but the expedition to Carthage was 698, not 689.

@anon_opin This assumes that atheism is the default position and not an active decision/belief system in its own right - something that goes against thousands of years of human belief.

Atheism is both a historical outlier and not even the most prevalent modern position.
