I figure only nerds know this but back when Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat was a Suruhanjaya, its acronym SPAD was actually very ironic because its also the acronym for when trains run the red light: signal passed at danger.

Good ol French exit

TIL Province Wellesley (Seberang Prai) was named after the guy who later became Duke of Wellington, the guy who defeated Napoleon.

And it was not random, he and a boatload of soldiers stopped at Penang while on a naval mission.

Load bearing books, now that’s new to me.

You know that meme where a guy in uniform was giving lessons to a few cobras? This is that uniform. He was a member of the Malaysian fire and rescue service.

He passed away a while back though, from, yup, cobra bites.

This project always smells fishy to me. Just smoke and mirrors. MACC should investigate, and not be a MACCai.

Literally doubling down lmao

Guys, I’m not ready for a global pandemilympics that comes around every 4 years.

Is it finally time? The beginning of the end?

Fun fact: the creator of Counter Strike, Minh Le, is left handed. The original view models were modelled left handed, and a setting in the game mirrors the view models to be right handed albeit making them technically incorrect. It’s thanks to him being a leftie that CS as a AAA franchise has settings to customize the player character’s handedness.

Because they only bring brownouts and blackouts, never whiteouts. 😂

Two leeches fighting over the same calf lmao

Aaron Schwartz didn’t die for this.

Hear me out: drone light show over the North Sentinel Island.

Clouds: “allow us to introduce ourselves.”

This article got it the wrong way with regards to leap seconds. Days getting longer means the earth takes a bit more than 86400s to spin a full day’s rotation. That is a surplus, which accumulates over time, and we’ve added 20 something leap seconds to compensate for it. Days getting longer is what’s been happening all this time since 1901.

What scientists have been observing in the past decade are days taking slightly less than 86400s which creates a deficit that accumulates to the negatives that had to be corrected by having a skipped second instead of a leap seconds.

If the negative leap seconds is correct then the days are getting shorter, not longer. If days are getting longer than we’re having to insert positive leap seconds as per routine, not a negative one.

I want to get off of this ride, please.

Spez is tracing Elon’s steps with X really closely.

Also fuck spez.

Really hope that Malaysia’s bid to be the data center alley of SEA would be the check and balance to this new law for future gomen. In some aspects a broad oversight can be beneficial to check the influence of Big Tech without lengthly legislative process but we also don’t want the gomen to blindly follow ccp’s lead in building a firewall around us citizens.
