F1 Thread
I think the FIA knows electrons are a problem for the F1 variant. We already have Formula E, and if some move to that is accorded in F1, then a large chunk of their audience will evaporate. I'm there for the petrol operated machines (hey I'm older), and I like it. On a separate note, congrats to the guy who placed third (can't believe I just wrote that), he deserved it.

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Never a truer phrase was spoken. Yes, it's obvious that the media loves the left, but without viewers/readers/visitors - the media dies, and they won't ever let that happen. When reading a piece of "news," look for the drama, that's where you'll find the key.

The Next President is...
Sometimes, one just needs a carriage return. On a separate note, "unfornicate" is not a real word, but passes muster here, as we like alternate ways of saying things.

Yes, a good question for the FIA. I am most curious to know where they go in five years, it seems like there is still some ultra-efficient engine scheme on the near horizon. Electric is already well developed in Formula E, so where do we go, and will it be entertaining?

Wow, that's a lot of typing.

The Next President is...
Until Trump mentioned his other son and his purported military record. Trump may not have come off well (sts), but Joe didn't have any meat (sts) in the game.

The Next President is...
"The threat Trump poses..." Not to discount what he says, but where was he four years ago? Trump isn't really offering anything new now, and many seem to be measuring him as though he's going to come in to this presidential thing and make all sorts of changes (like it was something new). That time has long passed. To make matters worse for me (slightly retarded with age), is that at first, I though you were talking about this famous Boyd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Boyd

Huh! Why can't it be both?

The Next President is...
You know, I was thinking how most everyone here is college educated, and has at least a little - context. However, reading through these comments, one would think posters are: Non-military High-school educated Unable to move beyond (or aside from) their solid, diametrically opposed position to others Inability to view recent events as an indicator (relying instead on tired old clichés) I suppose this thread is just a reflection of reality in 2020 - but seems just sad. Oh well, I'm off to spend some money, and enjoy a meal at a restaurant!

Thank goodness I was being sarcastic, eh?

Yes, there is clearly one person with a mask on.

Was this sarcasm? Sure seemed like it. For your last question - the answer is yes.

F1 Thread
No harm intended (nor should you be apprehended (or apprehensive)). I really was just curious, as I watch it live with that service. It's hi res, and during the race at least, utilize the Sky commentary. The pre and post shows are pretty lame though. I wish I could get Sky, but I can only watch that a day later with a torrent.

Blast in Lebanon
I had such high hopes for Lebanon, it is indeed a tragedy. In a semi-related matter - the neck down look in that video was fantastic!

Blast in Lebanon
I hate to Wednesday morning quarterback, but it does seem like the city was spared some of the energy here - by what amounts to a huge concrete wall (the remaining silo).

It will be interesting, but at least Hulkenberg has experience with F1: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/racing-point-waiting-hulkenberg-covid-test-result/4846714/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-22

Lewis doesn't really know what his "kneeing" and "Black Power" symbols mean to those in the US outside of the cause. One wonders if this wokeness at the circuit will just fade away?

CIRG also. Mostly multi-cam, some blue. They have interesting air assets too.

F1 Thread
I smelled some sarcasm in 17D's post. I also think that F1 in general is so fully woke, that it appears they've also taken some amphetamines. Lastly, they are still hypocrites. If they're really worried about racism, they would cancel races in China, some middle-east, and eastern Europe. It's all pretty hilarious watching them try to jump on the proverbial band-wagon. It's a little like thinking Valtteri Bottas is synonymous with hip-hop.

I don't know, it seems alot like the Wall St. 99% thing from a few years back. The faces [sic] are the same. Here's an interesting take on it: https://youtu.be/O-253uBJap8?t=32
