My GF keeps insisting she also likes F1 not because of me, but because she is a fan as well…

Whenever I throw a random fact about F1 she always comes back with the silliest questions…like after today's British Grand Prix, Claire Williams was hosting the Channel 4 after-race and I commented “She used to own Williams you know, she's pretty cool” then her reply, “What’s that, a car brand?” I calmly asked “What team do Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon drive for?” She then said “Who are those?”

The reason I am upset is that I can't stand someone pretending, especially my partner to like something just because I do, when confronted she insists she doesn't like it because of me but because they genuinely like it too, annoying really…we’ve been together 4 years. Today I even drove to Silverstone.

I Learned the Hard Way: Never Replace a MacBook Keyboard Without a New Top Case

For context:

I while back I ventured myself to replace the keyboard on my MacBook Pro, which I thought would be a simple walk in the park, but the keyboard is bolted into the chassis and there is no simple way for you to screw this back in and leave it with a brand new feeling after installation. I tried making holes where the bolts were to fit tiny tiny screws but didn't work out and wasn't easy.

BLUE CIRCLE - Replaced brand new keyboard (no top case) although it looks fine, the lack of screwing in the middle sections of the keyboard has left the typing experience lacking and unenjoyable as there is a lot of travel and depth when pressing keys, making you feel like you are typing on a cheap broken keyboard.

YELLOW CIRCLE - Original old replaced keyboard.

A brand new original top case from Apple costs £595.27 (798.22$) that comes with a brand new battery, top case, and keyboard…

I managed to get one on eBay for £45 (60$) comes with everything, fans, usb c ports, keyboard, battery, speakers, touch ID, Trackpad, in mint condition, even in better condition than my original top case and with 100% battery health with 86 cycle counts. Currently, my MacBook has 586 cycle counts and 80% battery health!!! What a win!!! And I get to keep spare parts in case anything else breaks.

This M1 Pro Max with 32GB RAM will last me another 5 years I think.

Do marshals actually work overtime?

Sky Sports every week's race incident:

"The marshals are working overtime today."
"The marshals have had a lot more work than usual."

Like really, what's the extra work, they get paid to do their job, not for watching F1.

This gorilla seems deep in thought like a real human being, is this the real deal or just AI?

The expression on this Gorilla’s face all the way through, is too human, too real, you can almost see through his thoughts.

How's this even legal?

Saw this at Tesco, isn't this a genuinely dangerous blind spot?

Edit:

Maybe the driver has just parked there since the incident and never drove it again. So, legal as long as you don't drive it…who knows. But it's a Tesco parking, not so sure you can leave it there indefinitely until repaired without paying a fine.

I was thinking, what could stop someone from actually driving a truck as a daily driver in the UK? There must be a mf out there thinking “why not.., I love Optimus Prime” are there any rules that could make it difficult for the regular Joe to have his dream come true?
