Entomologists reserve the term bug for Hemiptera or Heteroptera, which does not include other arthropods or insects of other orders such as ants, bees, beetles, or butterflies. In some varieties of English, all terrestrial arthropods (including non-insect arachnids and myriapods) also fall under the colloquial understanding of bug.

Sounds like those entomologists should have tried a bit harder either in educating the masses or choosing names!

Does "bug" have a technical definition? If so then it's news to me and everyone who uses it to mean pretty much any small invertebrate (or microorganism, or software defect).

That was mainly due to aero effects, right? Hopefully that's something they've considered for the new regs.

Thanks, though I don't feel I've gained any more into!

Has any reason been given? Given that he's 82 I'm assuming he's retiring, but I wouldn't put it past Lawrence Stroll to offer him a private yacht full of cash...

He was still basically a rookie, and while he didn't match up to Hadjar he didn't do too badly once he got his eye in. I think he'll need to be a clear number one at RB next year if he wants to hang onto his seat again though.

...can I have my custom ROM now?

That happened a while ago though. He was given the chance to drive the impossible second seat and failed like everyone else. I hope the same doesn't happen to Hadjar!

Ted Kravitz pre-announced it on Saturday (he didn't know if he was supposed to but did it anyway). Verstappen and Hadjar at Red Bull, Lawson and (probably) Lindblad at RB, sadly no seat for Tsunoda.

 

I've stopped using Google Photos but haven't really found a suitable android app (or two separate ones) which can replace two main features:

  1. One-click post-processing - I think Google called it something like "auto awesome", basically a single button which slightly tweaked brightness, contrast, and presumably a few other things to make snaps look a bit better
  2. Automatic backup - I've tried proton drive but the app is a bit slow to load thumbnails, and critically it's a one-way copy so you have to manually re-delete everything from your phone

Any recommendations for apps which can replace these features? Doesn't have to be all-in-one, and FOSS is preferred!
