I’m guessing they’re going to be shortening and reducing the # of DRS zones in upcoming races. These two tracks probably had DRS spec’d out before the season. The last thing F1 would’ve wanted would be headlines of “2022 cars still can’t pass, Bahrain GP processional”. Now that it’s been firmly shown that they can…

Western Union appears to charge $80 on a $50k transfer from my country. That’s not hella expensive, that’s a 0.16% fee.

This article mirrors exactly the doom I feel when I go to CES. Does the world need an 80-inch 8k Smart TV?

What they’re really doing here is fixing a huge oversight. George Russell was allowed to have good luck for once, and that cannot stand.

Holy crap! I’m getting screwed!

“Fire-free version”.  Well, they hope, anyway.  I assume LG told them the first battery was also fire-free.

They’re both better and worse. Thermal runaway takes quite a while to really get going, so cars will often be able to tell you ahead of time to stop and get out. A gas leak plus fire can get bad much faster.

Don’t these things have AEB?

Have you looked at your electric bill and divided what you actually pay by the kwh you use?

Not to excuse the thieves, but “Epi Pens are expensive” is a corporate choice to please stakeholders. They used to have a wholesale price of $100USD for two in 2009, which has gone up 500% in a decade under new ownership.

If airlines want pilots, airlines should pay for pilots to get trained, no matter the expense.

At least one of those companies (Google) is not like the others. Google regularly tops great-places-to-work lists that I’ve seen. The jobs are hard to get, but they pay very well and don’t seem to drive you nuts. I’ve worked with a couple Googlers that absolutely love their jobs and had enough time to put 30-40h/week…

The Ioniq5 seems to be the first of what will become a flood of high-quality competition.  Right-sized, right-priced, and built by a real manufacturer, while the Model Y’s price has climbed to $60k USD.

If they red flagged, they’d both be on the same tire (new or nearly-new softs), and Mercedes was clearly faster at Abu Dhabi all race. Lewis had even beaten Max off the line at the start once.  Even if he didn’t win off the line, Lewis would’ve passed him after 5 laps with the generous pace advantage the Mercedes had.

It was a different company 10 years ago. SkySails was the name, says my fuzzy memory.

I’m happy to rag on Tesla for FSD/autopilot overzealousness, but I’m guessing this is a bog-standard gas/brake confusion situation that made the news just because of their FSD overreaching. Driver thought they were hitting the brake “but the car accelerated!” ... because they were hitting the gas.

There’s a bunch of youtubers doing the downtown-city.

Ah, good looking.  What did you use to bring that up?  I have F1TV, is it in there?

Why wouldn’t merc pit? It’d only make sense if they thought the SC would come back in for the end of the race, which as we now know was an awful-close call.

Red flag to hand Lewis free new tires would’ve been pretty controversial too.
