YES.  I don’t like that somehow businesses have forced their expenses upon the public.  It’s ridiculous.  It isn’t as if they reduce the cost of their food.   Pay your people what they are worth.  

I don’t really understand how it reduces the importance of the Sunday race?  In think if anything it gives you something interesting to watch on Friday.    If the sprint race doesn’t mean anything for the actual race then I definitely don’t see the point, but what I thought they meant was that who is recorded as the…

ha.  I think the point was that it’s expensive, but not ridiculous for an F1 race.  We went to Monaco in 2019 and it was a lot more.  

There’s a fair amount of stuff to do not too far from the track.   I mean, you’re right by Miami.  Hop in your buddy’s car and do some fun stuff around town.   It’ll be a good weekend.

These tickets were interesting. I don’t see on my receipt an ticketmaster charge, but I do see an $80 per ticket facility charge.  

They’re building a faux beach and a faux marina in the middle of the track, according to the track map that I saw yesterday.   Seems a bit contrived to me, but I’m sure it will be amusing. 

They are adding a faux marina with yachts in it inside of corners 6/7/8 which presumably will have rich people hanging out in them.   Or something.  I’m curious what it will be in reality.   I got tickets right across from them so we’ll see next year.  lol

Yes.  It did used to have that feature, but they removed it awhile back.  Doesn’t make sense to me.   Dragging things around on my phone screen is so fiddly.  

Accurate

This.  I don’t understand where the value comes from in crypto currency.  

I mean... in the grand scheme of things, you don’t have to know anything about anyone or anything. But presuming you ever leave your house and talk to other people and might perhaps come into contact with other humans who may have different beliefs, goals, or skills than you, it’s always nice to have some insight.…

I dunno. Derpy doesn’t feel like that at all. It’s just a silly word that means silly/goofy/dumb in a not super negative way, for me. I mean, I don’t use it, but when I hear it, and when I have heard (or seen) it, it’s not mean in this way. It doesn’t have a pathology to it like retarded does. It’s just a made up word…

errr... so there are buttons on the back of the steering wheel that work in the way that you describe, but those same controls are also on the dashboard. The ones behind the steering wheel are there so the driver doesn’t have to take their hands off the wheel. So that’s how that feature helps make it pretty good. I…

I’m going to have to disagree with this. I have owned both a Ford with the Sync and a Dodge with the uConnect... the Sync system is fiddly and annoying and the word natural definitely does not apply. I mean it works okay... but it’s not fantastic. uConnect is less fiddly, better at some things. Not as good at other…

It’s certainly an interesting idea. As an owner of a garage that is nicely set up for doing repairs (I work on my car now and then when jobs seem doable and time is available), I’m still uncertain that I would do this. I enjoy when friends want to come use my garage... someone gets a fixed car, everyone gets to hang…

I don’t have any problem with teams that can spend more money winning more races and those that don’t have as much money losing and being bottom feeders. However, I think that F1 should do something about revenue sharing. It seems weird to me that the old guard teams get more money just for being the old guard teams.…

Yes, it depends on which parts are replaced. But not like parts of the engine like pistons. Because FIA seals them so that the internals can’t be replaced, the teams actually are forced to replace the entire ICE, gear box, MGU-K or MGU-H, etc. So each of those parts carry a specific penalty for replacement. From FIA…

*sigh* Now I want some ribs and I’ll never be invited to the cookout.

As a white guy I would just like to point out that it is only slightly less than half the white people that are apparently batcrap crazy. Man, that’s depressing to say. I work with people that voted for this nut job and all the other nut jobs of his party. I try to understand them. I can’t. It seems so patently…

Seems to me he is righteously angry. I don’t begrudge anyone that. I assume he’s not going to go out and actually burn anyone at the upside down cross. I wish I knew how to fix racists. I feel sure he does too. But I’m not oppressed by racism. So my inability to fix it doesn’t mean I have to live with it. His…
