    You can say that again, and yeah, I don't think it woulda been a block in the back either. Ugh. Sickening.

    Yeah this year we saw Christmas lights earlier than ever in our 'hood in SW Austin - 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. Such bullshit. Chill, y'all. You don't need to turn on your Christmas lights as soon as they're available in the stores. Day after Thanksgiving? Go for it. Before that? Fuck off.

    So, Bevo's not allowed in the building. Is Uga?

    That actually might have been #10's best game ever, imho.

    I am, of course, not a lawyer like the other 98% of the Surl, but I would think she'd be fine just so long as she's subpoenaed. (sp?)

    Pre-emptive strike from Hegseth's attorneys to keep the sexual assault accuser quiet. This fuckin' guy .... Hegseth's attorney threatens to sue sex assault accuser if she repeats 'false' claims and he's not confirmed https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hegseths-attorney-threatens-sue-sex-assault-accuser-repeats/story?id=116531786

    OBTW, icymi, Mario thinks a 12th team will be allowed into F1. https://www.planetf1.com/news/mario-andretti-f1-12-teams-hint-gm ...and Graeme Lowdon will be TP. Lowdon named as Cadillac’s F1 team principal https://racer.com/2024/12/05/lowdon-named-as-cadillacs-f1-team-principal/

    Probably too many Americans are pussies. These people weren't having it. At all. Ronny Chieng's Daily Show segment on it was one of the best things I've ever seen on TV. Go to 5:30.

    Didn't see this posted. Surely this is normal. Last week, Trump received $18 million from a Chinese national accused of fraud and under investigation by the SEC.

    Yep, and the current PU formula happened because of MB, Ferrari, and Renault all wanting it, at least in the end. Catering to manufacturers who may or may not stick around (usually not for long) is and has always been a bad idea for F1, at least on the sporting side, and to some extent on the business side as well.

    I love how all of a sudden Lewis instantly becomes that little boy kart racer all over again when he hears the siren song of that V10.
  17. wood
    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.
  18. wood
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
