@ulko7t7 @DPWorldTour He had 84 so below the 3 people mentioned in the post, although he could have got to 96 if he hadn't been ill with covid.

@PortobelloMark @DempsterMartin @RyderCupEurope @ScotsmanSport Agree with this selection. Might suggest replacing one or both Hojgaards and Hovland with Pavon, Langasgue, Rose, and / or Svensson depending on form.

@geeker544 @itsfoss Wonder how many people watched Mr Robot and installed Kali, ha ha!

@system76 Think it was Red Hat 9 in around 2004. Came as a CD at the back of a big book which I continue to use to weigh down my computer monitor.

[Alistair W @alistair57]

@slicedpod @BenColeyGolf @sam_golf Great pod. Fitzpatrick and Lowry are great players but I'm not convinced they are locks for the Ryder Cup. I also think Rose could find some form again and put himself into the mix (still got 2 top 10s in majors in 2024). My gut says Langasque, Svensson and Detry are possibles.

Ghana's Maths Queen @angela_tabiri is the first African to win The Big Internet Math Off competition.

She's on a quantum mission to mentor girls and hopes her 2024 win will encourage more African women to take the subject.

@DempsterMartin @ScotsmanSport @RyderCupEurope @DPWorldTour It sounds like Waring might have a home advantage in this tournament. Think Pavon and Langasque could be a good pairing at the Ryder Cup.

The moral of the story is:
Science isn't about posting a meme with no sources, nor is it about reading a single academic article and taking everything it says on face value.

Good science requires nuance, attention to detail, and awareness of context.
