not surprised at all. This is just how they drum up PR.

and yet, people still give them money.

this, but more likely this as I would want to haul my stuff.

one inattentive afternoon later...

There's nothing good about traversing the labyrinth known as the modern day international airport. Aside from incompetent airline personal and the debacle known as TSA, we are now subject to ...

I generally like Sauber, but this is all just dumb in their part. Sadly, it speaks to the fast and loose way contracts are viewed in F1 as a whole.

The GT5 intro actually did a reasonable job of showing the entire process.

A handy invention.

Hercs are remarkable birds. That said, the aircraft's utilization is interesting. This 52 year old plane only has 27000 hours. For commercial aircraft that would just be a pup. I guess it is not the years, but how rough the road...

Ah, man. A PT-22. Those are neat old planes. A basic trainer from pre-WWII. Nice little radial engine and an open cockpit.

I think the real game changer is if they can get "on demand" driverless cars to work. Then you have the sea change that goes along with individually owned driverless cars as described above, but you also run the risk of less individuals owning a car, or as many cars, as they do now.

Hmmm, just did some reading. I never made the connection. Interesting.

going to be cold for NASCAR at AMS. Since QT is sponsoring the Cup race here is a pic of their donuts, which are pretty good. Their maple bar is, sadly, the best you can get in Atlanta, but it is still pretty tasty.

You apparently haven't seen me at a LeMons race as I am fairly certain that was a regular occurrence at CMP.

A number of ways, I would suppose. I'm not sure how SWA tracks things like that. Typically you have a computer system that keeps track of time controls and helps ensure they are scheduled. Like anything though, those systems are only as good as the data that goes in. Perhaps the wrong limits were set (should have…
