Rikkitic:

That Geekzone background colours have suddenly turned black. Is this me or you?

Now you know the answer to the question.

Welcome to the Dark Web.

This is weird. The display is all screwed up but only on my laptop and only with Chrome when displaying Geekzone. Other browsers look fine on the laptop. Chrome displays parts of Geekzone on black background. This must be some kind of Chrome issue but I don't know what. I have tried going through the colour settings. Will keep at it.

Handsomedan:

1.6% of Coke's market value is wiped out as investors flog off stock.

Article for reference: CR7 Wipes out $4bn of market value of Coca Cola

It's a great clickbait headline, but I think the causality is dubious. Stock values rise and fall. There was a rise of almost exactly the same amount on the morning of 10th June. Did a Coke label appear onscreen somewhere at that time? Probably. Did that cause the jump?

OTOH, Coke pays a lot of money to sponsor that tournament, in the expectation that that they will make even more money as a result of having Coke bottles on press conference tables. So maybe the investors aren't that stupid. But the people who watch TV are.

More weird. I just uninstalled Edge and that seems to have fixed the problem with Chrome. Bloody Windows.

You should wipe the blood off your windows, it's probably making everything dark :)

Still pretty cool to see him brush the Coke aside with disgust and bring out some water.

I would argue not, when it is a bottled product in a throw away container, and reportedly manufactured by the same company.

I would argue it is, but for your reasons, in a lesser of two evils way.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Coca Cola doesn't manufacture water. They merely monetised repackaging the nectar given to us for free by the creator.
