  1. Yep. It makes no sense. They're going all in on alternative fuels, and despite what we were told when the current PU fomula was introduced, combustion research is not at a dead end, and combustion efficiency gains are still being made .... so why not go simpler, with a much lighter V10 on alternative fuels, and no batteries & electrical drive component at all. You wanna sell alternative fuels? Show the world how efficient they can be in simple NA engines. Of course there are multiple side benefits, like bringing back that sound, being able to make the cars much lighter and smaller, etc. And re: making a racing series green, yeah, it's just idiotic greenwashing.
  2. Yeah I dunno why they went so underpowered with this set. The current PU formula was a huge mistake for F1 imho, and now they're going to follow that with another mistake - with the added 'bonus' of it being underpowered. They're just going from one idiotic PU formula to the next.
  3. Trump appears to threaten Hamas with 'all hell to pay' over hostages https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62757dd55no I hope the Pro-Palestine folks who voted for Trump are happy. Many of us said throughout the campaign that Trump's idea of ending the war is not the same as theirs. Hard to understand how they couldn't see it.

Know what you're voting for.
  5. Or 31-0. Even if we stall on both drives but protect the ball, it's probably 23-0. But it don't make a shit. The Horns still pushed their shit in.
  6. 1, x
  7. I don't think it cost them the WCC. They were making the car as fast as they could make it - not designing a car for Max. Standard operating procedure up and down pit lane. Nobody in F1 designs a car for one driver. They design the car to be as fast as they can make it, and then try to help both drivers be as fast as they can and score as many points as they can in that car. Max could handle it. Checo couldn't. Had they backed off so that Perez could handle it too, very likely making the car slower in the process, they probably wouldn't have been quick enough to win the WDC or even P3 in the WCC imho. I think they got as much as they could have with that car and that driver pairing.
  8. Interesting to look at it this way too imho, by % of the team's points scored: Sauber: ZHO 100% RBR: VER 74% Aston Martin: ALO 74% Williams: ALB 71% Haas: HUL 69% RB: TSU 65% Alpine: GAS 61% Ferrari: LEC 55% McLaren: NOR 55% Mercedes: RUS 53%
  9. Yeah I know. That's what led me to the pardon info. Unreal, this fuckin' guy. I gotta say I'm not crazy about the unconditional pardon power of the POTUS. There has to be a better, more responsible way than allowing the Pres to just wave a magic wand and absolve anyone they want of anything they did.
  10. TIL that during his first term Trump pardoned Charles Kushner for witness tampering, tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions. (yeah I'm a dumbass who tuned out of the news for a while because the news generally pisses off or saddens me so much)
  11. And given the angles/trajectories involved, targeting on that one would have been bullshit too. It's like they expect these guys to be astrophysics professors doing advanced calculations out there in fractions of a second.
  12. @satyanash posted a video of the hardhat kid, so I gif'd it.
  13. Aight. Thanks for the video. I just gif'd it.
  14. At Kyle Field vs Texas, A&M is 22-26-2. At DKR, A&M is 13-46-1. So ... which stadium & crowd is tougher on the visiting team? Or maybe the best team just wins most of the time.
  15. This, of course, has always been funny AF, but today .... oh man .... it's better than ever.
  16. oops. wrong thread.
  17. Yeah there has to be a gif of that kid somewhere. I need it. Epic.
  18. I know this isn't a new observation, but I like the way he puts it here:
  19. Este. That's how you handle aggy. Just smile & nod. Trying to teach my boys this. It's a work in progress, but they'll get there.
  20. Text from my buddy who was at the game: "2 Mo Bambas 1 Loss to Texas in the SEC 0 Effect on Texas the Entire game"
