Pilchard, you'll like this.

What we are seeing here is a result of the work http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/. Fascinatingly, Google returns the header not for any request, but only if you google for Terry Pratchett.
What is more: if you google for Terry Pratchett in your browser, it looks like Google will remember this and send the header with any subsequent responses - no matter if they are PTerry-related or not.

I knew there was a Reddit thread about it, and there was possibly an April Fool's RFC going in, but I didn't know Google had done this.

It is very legit. In fact, a friend of mine in Nashville is the co-owner of the company that helped with the SFX on this one. She posted it on their company FB page today.

I have some great friends, by the way.

That can be a problem sometimes. And on those cases I'd rather be told up front, because I don't have a problem to just put the radio, or talk, or let you choose the music if I appreciate your taste enough. Much better to have something we both can enjoy than for you to fake a smile through the distorted bass solos in Acid Wolfpack.

I'm pretty eclectic in my musical tastes for the most part, but even I get sick of constant Rap 'Music'.

SubaruStephen · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 Apr 2015, 16:22 »

Rap is not music.

It used to be.

Not anymore, now it's just aural ego masturbation.

I see you mostly hear mainstream stuff.

Then again, this might be difficult to classify anyways. Pretty sure not many people rap to an IDM "beat".

Very few Rap artists and/or 'Songs' I can stand on a regular basis.

You need to pay more attention to the stuff being released. Hip hop's having a golden age.

Do you run an ad blocker? Both YouTube and Twitter behave differently for me when I do.

Depends, embedded videos on some websties have a fullscreen button, on some they don't. I have no idea why they differ.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #45 on:** 11 Apr 2015, 05:09 »

I hate the fact that embedding can be disabled. That should not be an option.

And some content creators don't want their videos featured on other people's websites, and I think it's their right to have the power to decide against that.

This week Tesla announced the Model S 70D, and dropped the Model S 60. They've also revamped a bunch of their options. A lot of the stuff which were included in the Tech Package are now standard. Also included in the S 70D are superchargers, a $2000 option in the S 60. The S 70D has dual motors (AWD), and increased range over the S 60.

Here's the thing. Tesla doesn't even plan to put any superchargers in the foreseeable future in this province. No superchargers, no road trips.

I don't have a garage, or even a driveway, so I can't plug in the car.

Finally, I can't afford it anyway.

So my new-found lust for the new model is pointless.
