Well then is it better to say that we should redefine what happiness means? Or is it that happiness means something different to each individual? Sometimes I feel like what I define as happy is really just being content to someone else. This is more of a philosophical question, or maybe more specifically a metaphysical question. What is happiness?

I feel like Max and RBR are a runaway train for the rest of the season, but if the rest of the field gets to battle more then I’m all for it. Was really great seeing Lando and Lewis really duking it out, had us on the edge of our seats watching the race.

You know and I think that’s okay. To a certain extent almost all professional sports will have celebs show up who have no interest in the sport. I agree with you that too many look disinterested or get annoyed when they’re approached by media for an interview. They’re obviously not the main attraction, and it wouldn’t kill them to feign interest, just say it’s cool, be honest and say they don’t know anything about the sport but are excited to experience the event and learn more about it. Even if it’s all a lie it goes a long way in improving their image, promoting this wonderful sport, and maybe even draw in some of that celebrities fans to actually check out f1. I mean that is the whole reason these celebrities are invited to the paddock and are shown in the team garage during races isn’t it?

This cat has 9 lives. Really hoping he lands on his feet and does well at AT. He truly is one of my favorite drivers both on and off the track. Really wish him the best and hoping he finds a good drive next season.

I thought being on retainer meant that they get paid to be ready to take on a case if needed and ensure they get at least partially paid for their services. I bet a major case like this would call for a whole team of lawyers all billing for hundreds of hrs of work. I don’t think a retainer would cover everything. I could be wrong though, I’m not a lawyer.

“Competition is fine” says the guy that was born into wealth and was given a huge leg up in life. Although, I really hope they duke it out in court with Meta just so they burn through piles of money needlessly.

Which is a way I’m assuming to data mine every user on the fediverse. Safe to say that anyone that connects to the fediverse via Threads will essentially expose all Non Threads user to the Meta data miners?

WTF is threads?

Interesting. I know the FIA is getting flack for the penalties and how long it took to implement it. Either the drivers really can’t control their car or they were just hoping the officials would give up enforcing the rules. The commentators made a good point, if the race was wet the drivers would do everything in their power to avoid running off the track to avoid losing grip. Here it’s obvious they were pushing the limits to gain an advantage. Next time keep to the track limits. Those that did this race avoided penalties and moved up some slots.

Flat out mentions they want to maintain a junior team. Is this also another way to skirt around the “cost cap”? Alpha Tauri obviously hasn’t been competitive but I feel like this team allows RBR to trial both drivers and components they may not want to risk on their main team. If the plan is to move the main hub of operation to the UK who’s not to say they won’t be sharing basically everything?

Thank you! That’s helpful.

Can anyone explain exactly what this means in terms of how the schools are run?

If they won’t let Andretti in I don’t think they should let anyone in as a new team.

To me it sounded more like “bro you’re alone and no one is going to have your back on this. Your best best at surviving this coup attempt is to join me in exile in Belarus while we wait for someone stronger to become our daddy.”

I’m assuming that was post Schumi? Otherwise was money down the drain.

What doesn’t surprise me is that wealthy adventure enthusiast billionaire would think it’s okay to cheap out on something supposed to sustain his life underwater. $30 game controller? Plumbing pipe for ballast? Off the shelf monitors? Is that picture showing they done even have any seats or way to strap in safely? Bolted in from the outside without a safety escape built in? I feel they would have been better off trying to go at it with an old timey diving bell attached to the surface with an air hose. That would have been even cheaper than this underwater coffin they built. At least then they would have been tethered and retrievable.

I’ve seen some op eds calling for a pardon for trump a la Nixon with then President Ford. I can see why they think it’s a good idea but at some point you have to pay for your misdeeds. If trump is ever actually found guilty and sentenced to jail I think it’s very necessary to set a standard and actually make him follow through on being punished. I feel like a pardon would show his supporters that whatever he did wasn’t too bad if he got pardoned. They’ll call it a witch hunt no matter the result, might as well make it so that there is some justice actually seen at the end of it all.

Can’t have pesky humans and their need for water get in the way of progress. If they can’t handle the heat just replace that one with another more hungry than the previous. /s

Can’t wait to see him respond to it. Maybe he will post a couple of saucy pics on the subreddit himself to contribute?

Sounds good on the face of it but really doesn’t address the mountain of debt most people are in currently. Agreed that schools and deceptive lending practices need to be reigned in, but let’s be real here, this doesn’t really address the root cause of the problem which is runaway costs. As long as people are willing to take the loans out the schools will continue to charge what they want. From what I read it’s just kicking the can down the road and putting the onus on a young student coming out of high school to make the right decision.
