“The ledges are full of bird shite and are just minging,” says Johnston.
Haha, what a quote to get in the papers.

I thought Rosie's solution to the fish dots was genius, although the pen was obviously superior. Andy definitely got Greg with the fisherman line, you can see his look of fascination until he realises it was just a joke. In fact, Andy's studio lines were stupendous all episode and I was happy to see him win.
I liked "You dotted the rim" as a possible episode title - do they ever use lines from Greg or Alex or is it always contestants' lines?
Alex's joy and glee when it turned out that Jack's only attempt netted the worse possible fish was beautiful to see.
Mr Poo was more disgusting than I was expecting. The voice combined with the Nutella (I assume) was too visceral.
It was weird how the studio guest would nod as he said no.
Let’s discuss tasks, contestants and the show in general. Spoilers ahead.

I think there's a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

Sounds great. I tried bourbon in an amaretto sour (a godfather sour?) last night, although the recipe I used still asked for a decent amount of syrup so I think it brought it back to a usual sweetness.

sweet stop
I think you mean sweet spot. Now I'm wondering if it's a typo or an eggcorn.

This was a great episode.
I loved the unnecessary snooker costume, and the unnoticed joke about getting into the right frame of mind.
I had to listen again to hear "your mum's just like..." as "your mum's a slag", but now I can switch, like those pictures that you can see both ways.
I couldn't get enough of the robot's giggles. And Jack's glee when the robot pointed at its bum when asked to find the plug.
In the smelly task I was thinking that being sealed up might stop some of the things from reaching maximum stink as the organisms would run out of oxygen. Jack was smart to use the concentrated liquid and not go for a foul smell (although Greg still described it as unpleasant). Andy's looked gross and I loved him trying to play it cool while contestants metres away were backing away from the smell. What is a goblin fart?

That was pretty unreal to watch. So little drama, it was like it was a render.

It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).

You can set it to show what you want; if I'm doing TDD I'll set it to show the test output, and then it'll show the warnings beneath it.
You can switch between the views with a key (T for tests (or N for nextest), C for clippy, etc
But yes, it's pretty similar to using watch.

My hope is that something like Servo gets good enough to be included, especially if it's tree-shakable so you can only include a subset of the codebase. I don't know if that's a goal for either projects, but it would be cool - the default webviews can be quite lacking so currently you need to use a restricted set of HTML/CSS/JS to guarantee compatibility.

I see - great work, along with plenty of others in your post history.
Is this unedited, or did you bring out that contrast in post?
Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints). It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling. Screenshot (from an old version I think):  v3 adds support for [cargo-nextest](https://nexte.st/), plus some QoL improvements.

I've been in that maze! It's at Thorpe Park, and I went on an adult-only night with work. Baba's pace wasn't gentle - it would have been funny to have his attempt disqualified while in the hotdog.
And yeah - Finally we see someone else wear the hotdog! Interesting that it's both been on non-judged tasks; I wonder if its just a coincidence or if the contestants aren't allowed to do it for when Greg decides the points.
I like that they forced Rosie to make a smoothie so she didn't die trying to eat that envelope. Jack's wheelbarrow video was great, although that's mostly because the music made it.
I hadn't even understood the studio task by the time it finished; I'm assuming that they'd tested it with the crew beforehand and it had lasted a bit longer than that.
Getting later and later at posting these! Let’s discuss tasks, contestants and the show in general. Spoilers ahead.

For anyone else wondering, they're not endangered, at least:
Figures for both species of pilot whales are unknown, and even though they are depleted in some areas, pilot whales are not considered to be endangered. There are likely to be almost a million long-finned pilot whales and at least 200,000 short-finned pilot whales worldwide.
