Being live on my own TV at home is definitely a dream come true. Photo thanks to my wonderful girlfriend who’s watching at home ❤️

@zach_yadegari “We will not settle for anything less than an elite team” yet you have a recruiting team who don’t even dare to be direct with candidates. Where is some of this energy when you’re rejecting candidates?

@benbosk @Daniel_Rapaport We’re going to miss you Ben! I was pretty new to golf when I was looking for a golf podcast to listen to. Somehow Dan On Golf jumped out and I’ve loved the chemistry between you and Dan week-in week-out. The pod isn’t going to be the same without you!

@jonrundle @Shopify This is so cool Jon!

@gbeldam It really was. We hadn’t seen anything like it before.

@vanschneider It's hard to imagine a more perfect 2-car garage.

@Brammflakes @BULKHEAD @WARDOGS Small thing: ‘Request dropoff’ pings need to stay visible longer. As a pilot, I’ll ask where people want to be dropped. They’ll mark it on the map but it disappears after 10 seconds or so.

No words can describe the bravery of Loek Hartog. As drivers we’re told not to do this, but he had the instinct that Ollie otherwise wouldn’t make it.

Give @loekhartog1 driver of the year, decade, and a lifetime achievement award 👏

Get well soon @OllieMillroy!

This is the onboard from the Phantom Global Porsche, showing Loek Hartog rescuing Ollie Millroy. Just a warning that these images are pretty harrowing.

A statement of the Xiaomi China GT Championship reads among others that "rescue workers arrived at the scene of the accident at the earliest time".

It's clear though that Hartog was at the burning Ferrari for a full minute already, before the first marshal even shows up. The time between the impact and the marshals starting to extinguish the flames, is almost eighty seconds.

China GT do praise Hartog in their statement... But if eighty seconds is "the earliest time" for marshals to reach a burning car, that's not something to be thankful for, but it's something to be incredibly worried about. Especially, considering Millroy's Ferrari was really not that far away from a marshals' post.

@Reidboy24 @ThatLRuss I’m sure you’re way more skilled at FPS than I am. You certainly are at COD. But I learnt Tarkov before PvE was a thing. What you’re running into on PvP is the learning curve. Map knowledge, spawns, and pathing is key to getting better at Tarkov. You’ll get there with more hours.

@davidperel Maybe try LilSki? @tobi had him do Calabogie Motorsport Park for Assetto Corsa—our local track. https://t.co/lW90YFH6hk

@Teh_Ducky @VeryBadSCAVR If you have 6.00 Fence rep bosses (including Black Division) won’t aggro on you as a scav.

@Reidboy24 In 2022 I was so excited for the original DMZ to drop, so I decided to try out Tarkov. I’ve been hooked since. It’s still my main game with some COD on the side. DO IT

@robjama I was in the brainstorm meeting to find an alternative for https://t.co/2t4V79wTe2. The brief: “https://t.co/2t4V79wTe2 is expensive so we want to find a different name that is available”.

But everyone was already so in love with the Sello name that we just went for it and paid.

@jmwind Every meal I’ve had at Arlo has been an incredible experience. Easily in my top 3 of Ottawa restaurants. Congrats on the award 👏👏👏

Recently got into watches. Bought my first nice watch to wear at my wedding (Speedmaster), but already have a long wishlist of other watches to get. This Tudor Monarch is so beautiful.
