7 d. ago Edward Kane and The Voice of the Spider. Chapter 5: But Why There?

‘Remarkably clever, your man, Edward.’ Kane and Collins were sipping their coffee in the Advocates Reading Room. Kane smiled: ‘I must have missed that aspect, Collins.’ The other Advocate furrowed his brows: ‘I thought that it was quite ingenious. His view of the spider. An analysis that went to the very heart of our accepted jurisprudence.’ Kane shrugged: ‘I’m not sure that ’. Collins wagged his finger: ‘No, Edward, no. The example is instructive. The spider is proceeding along on familiar ground – well-known to him – and suddenly – without advertisement – a barrier is imposed – quite arbitrarily – upon his ability to progress. With a severe penalty for transgression. To cross the line of the circle – in this case – means death. And the spider does not know that. And then, when spider – inadvertently – even manages to obey the new law, he is still punished. The whole tale is an object example of the arbitrary exercise of power.’

8 d. ago ‘So much we don’t know’: why experts are warning against a new pipeline in British Columbia

Project on ‘very poorly understood’ terrain poses immense geological hazard, endangering fragile ecosystemsWhen an earthquake in 2002 struck in a remote pocket of Alaska, the shock was the strongest ever recorded in the interior of the state. But, miraculously, an oil pipeline that crossed directly over the fault line was unscathed.Engineers behind the design of the 800 mile system were prepared. Knowing the high likelihood of seismic activity along the route, which bisected the Denali fault, they constructed sections where the pipeline rested on rail girders, allowing it to sway and shear without snapping.

Nintendo Switch 2; Bandai Namco/Sora/HAL Laboratory/NintendoIt takes some getting used to, but this Mario Kart challenger soon reveals a satisfyingly zen, minimalist approach to competitive racingIn the world of cartoonish racing games, it’s clear who is top dog. As Nintendo’s moustachioed plumber lords it up from his gilded go-kart, everyone from Crash Bandicoot to Sonic and Garfield has tried – and failed – to skid their way on to the podium. Now with no one left to challenge its karting dominance, Nintendo is attempting to beat itself at its own game.The unexpected sequel to a critically panned 2003 GameCube game, Kirby Air Riders has pink squishball Kirby and friends hanging on for dear life to floating race machines. With no Grand Prix to compete in, in the game’s titular mode you choose a track and compete to be the first of six players to cross the finish line, spin-attacking each other and unleashing weapons and special abilities to create cutesy, colourful chaos.

Max Verstappen now only 24 points behind Lando NorrisSkid blocks on McLaren pair’s cars worn down too farMax Verstappen swept to victory at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in dominant fashion, enough as he crossed the line to keep him just clinging on to hopes of retaining the world championship. But more than four hours after the race had concluded, the Dutchman found himself catapulted right back into the fight as the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified.Norris had finished second and Piastri fourth, solid enough results to maintain an advantage over Verstappen, but two hours after the race the FIA announced it was investigating the wear on the skid blocks on their cars. They were found to be worn down beyond the limits of the regulations, leading to a double disqualification, as the rules around skid wear, which ensures the cars run at the prescribed height, are hard and fast and there are almost no mitigating circumstances.
