i've seen it on a freeview channel, the very bottom one, which was called something like transworld sport. i even set a series pass for it but ended up with the same episode repeated about 10 times...

(i've set the pvr for the drone racing and the polish speedway)
there's another freeview channel, 273 Sports Channel Network, which is a pay channel for connected tvs only (ie not mine) and that's showing about 6 hours of something called 'Drone GP' between 10pm and 6am tonight.

This is a very expandable business in fact – I would regularly give cash to an all-rounder who could make things to my specifications that were good but not too good and which I could pass off as my own.

You know those reaction videos on youtube? ‘I listen to _____ for the first time’. ‘Try not to laugh’ or ‘try not to smile challenge’. I could do those daily and be an emotionless blank face...
And I dont know if I’ve already mentioned it upthread but I always wanted to do a ‘teens react to getting punched in the face’ video. Like the old videos where young teens are shown one at a time testing out a VHS player or Apple II computer. Or watching Duck Tales for the first time.
“Do you know what this is?” “Its a clenched fist”“Do you know what people do with it?”“They punch little shits in the face”

McDonald's should sell empty happy meal boxes, nugget boxes, etc. To parents of young picky eaters.
So you could make, like, healthy home-cooked food and put the food into the McD's packaging, and then the kids would eat it.

last night a friend was telling me about Zoom video conferencing and how well it works - it automatically shifts the camera to whoever is currently speaking, which i think is pretty standard with video conferencing (i don't do it much these days), but apparently it works better than most.
anyway, it got me thinking about a Zoom mod where the meeting starts with each participant occupying equal space on the screen. as the meeting goes on, the size of each participant on the screen changes according to how long they've during the meeting. so if one person talks a lot, like 75% of the time, their face would occupy 75% of the screen. and if someone never gets a chance to talk, their section would reflect that - they'd be a tiny pixel on the corner of the screen. each participant's box would change in real-time, second by second. this is different, but kind of like how space is allocated in these kinds of charts:
https://i.imgur.com/iHuRUhh.png
then, at the end of the meeting, a screenshot of the final frame of the video would be saved as a memento - who dominated the meeting, who barely got to talk. this image could be used as the background of the meeting minutes for a quick visual reminder of how the meeting went. sort of like this, but pretend the allocations of each face end up filling up the full 100% of the screen like the image above:

I like where you're going with a fool that shows who talked the most. But I fear they will take that as meaning that they contributed the most, which is usually the wrong takeaway.
Can you set it so that the loudest, most domineering people have their volume progressively reduced? Or put their voice through a wacky filter that makes them sound like Tweety Bird?
