Parling’s TV spat with Doyle symbolises the tug of war for rugby’s modern soul (www.theguardian.com)
 

A good read here about the nature of professional rugby union. Who is it for? What do punters want to see?

Female coaches 'huge' for women's rugby - Emily Scarratt (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

I don't tend to watch the Women's game enough, but this was a nice read. I'll be checking out the Scotland side at least this w6n - which is less than a week away!

Six Nations: France star Louis Bielle-Biarrey wins 2026 Player of Championship award (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

He was very good. Feels a distant memory now, but the women's 6 nations is right around the corner

Lanarkshire bakery taken over by employees (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Fantastic news for Cumberbnauld. Mr Sword, I salute you. Now, how come I've never seen your products down the M8? An easy fix I'm sure now it is employee owned

More bananas than residents? That's bananas! What's your best banana recipe then folks?

Love seeing some archaeological archaeology! This must have been some find back then, I wonder when the other 5 will resurface?

Is this America’s Suez moment? in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It certainly seems so. France and the UK lost so much prestige because of this. It marked a very real end of the British Empire in particular

Hundreds of North Sea licences granted by Conservatives have ‘so far produced only 36 days worth of gas’ (www.theguardian.com)
 

The North Sea is spent. Tories and Red Tories spraffed it on neoliberalism. Wind is the next payday, and the good news is that it will payout forever. The bad news is we are still massively dependent on marginal priced gas. Thanks to Cameron and Osborne for that

There is another way

1000 Epic employees laid off. in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

1000 is just such arbitrary bullshit. And how many does that leave? How many are/were working on season passes???

None of that talented bunch couldn't have pivoted onto Unreal Tournament? Or some other fortnite spin-off?

Martin Fowler: ORM Hate in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Having seen what the ORM hate leads to. Just use the ORM folks. Far better in the long to do so! Nothing has come close to ActiveRecord imo in Typescript or Python sadly. Unless anyone has a library or two I should check out?

Great finish to the first half. Prop dash so good to see! And Wales are still in it surprisingly. But Ireland looking on top in most areas for me

Nasa announces Artemis III mission no longer aims to send humans to moon in c/space@mander.xyz
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wow. This is huge, and puts doubt on ever walking on the moon again. The original plan was obviously nuts with its weird orbits and mad refueling profile, but it was a plan at least! II was due to send astronauts the furthest into space EVER about now also. What is III to accomplish? When could IV fly, and will lunar descent then occur?
