Haas removing all uralkali branding and colors (at least for tomorrow)

you left out china

let me ask you, if you were in his position, would you say “fuck Putin”?

because if your answer is yes, you are a liar.

I never said he was “innocent” but expecting a 20 year old who grew up enormously privileged to understand world issues in any serious way is unrealistic.  he is also completely powerless in this…

I’m not a fan of street races or ovals

the side widows are probably the worst part, they do not go with the rest of the car at all.

clearly this was the prototype for the Veyron/Chiron

so, kid who’s whole family’s life depends on him not saying negative things about putin/russia doesn’t say negative things.

may not be a total idiot.

if he speaks out against russia/putin his father gets murdered and all the family’s money gone. kid is in a no win situation, leave him alone.

but fuck putin, fuck this…

has anything further come of this?  would think the SEC would be all over it.

the US has plenty of lithium and other rare earths, they are just in the ground and current commodity pricing of those materials (due to china flooding the market at below cost prices) means it isn’t “economically viable” to extract them and refine them in the US.

they are required under F1 rules to keep the garage door open and not use “privacy panels” to obscure the view of people authorized to be in pit lane.  even the lining up team members to block the view of “outsiders” is a grey area as if they did that and prevented an FIA official from seeing what they were doing it…

don’t forget the party of unfettered capitalism and free trade.

of course they would. all the teams have their own photographers doing exactly this (with strict FIA imposed limits on 3d cameras)

but the teams should have no say in what the press can photograph and the press should be busting their ass to get good photos.

they pretty much do.  Lewis spent a good 15 minutes eyeballing the red bull and if he’s doing it, you know the engineers are and they have team photographers who’s only job is to take 10,000,000 photos of the other team’s cars

yes, but the press guys, not affiliated with the teams should be photographing the shit out of everything that comes out of a garage.

I am constantly amazed at the low quantity of photos in the F1 press, even in technical articles talking about what the engineers are trying to do with the air.

how is it that Kia dealers have an almost universally terrible reputation for shitty sales tactics?

I mean, basically all dealers are fucking horrible, but it seems that Kia dealers are next level.

what gives?

meh, convict them then sue them for remuneration of costs incurred.

administrative asset forfeiture is bullshit no matter who/what it is applied to.

there isn’t a “self driving” system in the world that can handle that.

6 lanes worth of pavement all covered in 2" of slush with 2 lanes full of parked cars, no lane markings visible, yadda yadda.

wow, you are dumb. Atlanta, DC, Philly could all do it easily. Denver could do it, 

DC, take the federal district between the river and the back side of the capitol and E-H street and make it pedestrian only. increase the number and frequency of busses and routes.

Philly race street to lombard between the rivers.

Atlanta…

exactly.
