Friday's Rave

The French Pro D2 is a unique professional rugby competition which really proves that rugby is a true national game in France. Next Sunday's final guarantees the winners a place in the Top 14 whilst the losers get a second shot of promotion a week later against the second-last finishers in the Top 14.

This is a great piece of writing about that wonderful institution which is the Pro D2

Great display by Leona Maguire to outplay Nelly Korda in last round in LPGA tournament, even though she only finished second. Great four rounds and well earned $215,000.

I didn't really know where to put this, but good on you Jack Dunne. Very brave thing to do to put yourself out there as a role model.

The COVID vaccine passport looks just like a Ryanair boarding pass.

That is a superb win by Seamus Power on the PGA Tour. Just when the next generation of Irish golfers seem to be faltering, Power produces a win the hard way, losing a lead in the back nine before birdying the 18th to get a Play-off and then winning on the 6th Play-off hole. Absolutely magnificent.

It used to be that there are two certainties in life.
1. You'll die.
2. You'll pay taxes.
There's a new recent third certainty.
3. You'll (be able to) watch repeats on TV.

I just finished this and its superb. It functions as a recent history of the middle east as well as just Israel. It's quite candid and unsurprisingly a lot of the (searching for the right term here) security community in Israel weren't happy with it https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/ronen ... 473694736/

I'll do you one better - adaptive cruise control. Slows down and speeds up and you don't have to do a thing - pure luxury!

Going slower and faster in a single lane is actually much simpler than linguistics, in terms of computational complexity. In a nutshell, if thing in front getting closer, slow down, if it is moving away, go faster. If reached speed limit go no faster, if above speed limit slow down.
