Careful not to trip over that low bar

Welp. 2016 fully came home to roost. This is why voting for one of the two candidates that will actually win matters.

Yup- still impossible to get through any story that contains more than a couple photos that need to be loaded, along with the 27 ads. (And yes, I once counted 27 ads in one story- it took about 8 page reloads to actually get through the story to count all 27). 

I say everyone should do single car, single lap qualifying like Indycar at Iowa (or maybe a 3 lap average). No Q1,Q2,Q3, just one lap per car. No draft, no politics, it’s just you, your car and the track.

I mean it worked fine in the past, and I don’t think it was any less entertaining, at least from my couch.

I've already been grumbled at about suggesting this, but: single-car qualifying. 

I was always taught to shoot at the extreme ends of the focal lengths and perspectives to exploit this novelty, but then you learn to not be a one trick pony. I pull out my tilt-shift for portraits every now and then just for the effect I know it will have on the client. It looks super artsy, and they’ll never know…

I’m not saying that the screen is unreliable. To me the image in the viewfinder fills my vision more than a screen. I can see details there that I’d miss on a screen (or at least the tiny screen on the back of a camera, and by tiny I mean compared to your computer screen). Also the isolation of the image from the…

Man, I’m so tired of lens discussion pounding a nonexistent point into the ground—how different focal length lenses distort differently. And when you look at the images of the Porsche “distorting” when taken with different focal lengths, it seems like I’m as full of crap as our criminal president.

A Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS II is almost always on my camera... walking around shots, pictures of family/friends/kids, car shots, it’s a God-Tier lens.

Cut this shit out. She is a teenager in a dysfunctional family. You are compounding her anguish. Just stop.

All you have to do is look at Racing Point this year for your answer.  And the answer is, the low-grid drivers would suddenly start winning races.  Lance Stroll is fighting for 3rd and 4th in last year’s Mercedes design, which is around half a second slower per lap than this year’s.  How did he do when he was with…

This.  The change to regs plus Merc power will hopefully give him a fighting chance of some kind.

Most teams avoid a double #1 postion. Its difficult to manage and almost impossible to give both drivers the same preference. Sure, McLaren did in ‘07 with Alonso and Hamilton, and look what happened. Go back to Senna Vs. Prost and shit hits the fan as quick as the cars in F1.

I think Ricciardo is just doing whatever he can until he actually has a car that gives him a chance of podiums again next year.

Off the top of my head...

Given they deferred the new regs and associated grid shake up isn’t next year the asterisk? Just an extra year on the Mercedes train. 

#2 driver at the #1 team isn’t a bad gig to be fair and Bottas has been a rock solid driver for them. Hell any seat in F1 is pretty sweet, Kimi still seems to be having fun driving a tractor down in the chuckle classes

We all lie in the bed we make, but sometimes that bed is a road. And so instead we end up walking where we sleep. But if we don’t like where we are going, its time to have a different dream. For Ellen, its time for her to wake up, into a new dream, where she can lie down, and walk her own path.

Senna won five times in 1993, in an MP4/8 that had no business winning once. Same with the three wins in the MP4/6 and 4/7 the year prior. He had two podiums in the olden day equivalent of a Haas, one of which should have been a win. There has literally been no other driver capable of extracting 100.1% from every…
