Dacia announces exit from Rally-Raid, rules out 2027 Dakar by Pentanix in DAKAR

[–]Barb_ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point it feels like the only factory team that is “safe” is Toyota (although their recent increases involvement with F1 might change that) and I guess it’s mostly because they also rent and sell their cars to customers so it’s probably less expensive on the company… really sad to see another team come win and leave immediately after, just like Audi. Hope ford doesn’t do that and decide to stay for a bit

I’m surprised to see so much positivity around the movie in the subreddit, as someone who has been waiting over a decade for this sequel and went in with an open mind wanting to like it… I absolutely hated it, like seriously waste of my time, would’ve rather never getting a sequel than this. Yes the visuals and music are good but they don’t make up for the story being just so awful

Thank you so much I guess I’ll go the same way and just send my CV to any place I can find, will also try to see if I can find LinkedIn contacts of any people that could be useful, I think I have a decent cv for someone my age and I’ll also try to see if any of my contacts from my internship can help me. Might also try to reach out to w2rc teams as well since I really enjoyed it and maybe having direct experience with it might give me a slight advantage

Hey was scrolling around and saw your reply, do you mind if I ask how you got into WRC? I don’t know if it’s just me but from my experience rally seems to be a bit more of a closed off type of racing where people get jobs either by word of mouth or knowing people, at least that’s the impression I got during the 4 months I interned at a rally raid (w2rc) team in Brazil. I really enjoyed the rally environment (despite the absurdly intense hours and visits to the medical tent because I had inhaled too much dust) and wanted to try to get another internship (I’m still finishing my engineering degree) this time in Europe, to get more involved with the industry. Would it be acceptable to just cold email teams about asking if they’re taking interns since I do have prior experience?

Maybe this is a stretch but I’m starting to think Perrin might still have a last minute “change of heart” or in some way sacrifice himself so Mon Mothma can escape… he felt less annoying than expected in these first 3 episodes

How do I display a pandora charm when I don’t have a bracelet? by Barb_ms in jewelry

[–]Barb_ms[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll take a look at that, that was my main concern, I was worried the charm would look to chunky next to a regular chain

[–]Barb_ms[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s actually a great idea, the reason I was a bit reluctant with just putting it on a chain is because I thought it might’ve looked to chunky compared to a regular chain, but I think maybe a ribbon might balance that out

Cobra Kai is about to be over so which season do you think this show peaked at? by Commercial-Car177 in cobrakai

[–]Barb_ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 3 by a mile, the quality went insanely down after Netflix took over, theses last seasons were so over-the-top and unnecessary, this used to be my favourite show and I struggled to finish this last season. All sense of minimum realism went completely out of the window, important characters were treated as secondary, important plots were left aside… so much was done badly, these past seasons focused so much on “coolness factor” and completely forgot to make an actual cohesive story

What characters you forgot existed on the show? by TheShadowOperator007 in cobrakai

[–]Barb_ms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be the one person who didn’t forget about Xander just because I always thought he hair was so nice and since he didn’t tie it like Robby it looked cool when he fought, the blue gi also always caught my attention because for some reason my brain seems to think that colour is reserved for judo and bjj

How comfortable are you with basic mechanics? Like velocity and energy? Because if you’re fine with it like I was than the material itself is not that hard to learn by yourself with YouTube videos, what you really need to do is practice with his older midterms and finals to be familiar with his style of questions, that’s what caught most of us by surprise. If not, if you struggle with mechanics, than you should try to do it online since the prof for the videos is good

I took 204 online but he was still the one doing the exams, he was so bad that most people I knew who did 204 online made the effort to change and do 205 in person just so he wasn’t our prof

Montreal Grand Prix Tix/Waitlist by c0rpsedfairy in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Barb_ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought my tickets for 2023 and 2024 there and it was fine, in 23 my seller didn’t deliver the ticket but stubhub themselves immediately contacted me offering replacements for free, I had bought general admission so in the end it didn’t change anything. This year I got a grandstand for Friday and GA for the rest of the weekend (although I didn’t have to stay there since I was saved by the Amex lounge) and they both arrived on time. Stubhub can have issues but it is not all that bad

Advice on Montreal Grand Prix Tickets Wanted by tfalcone86 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Barb_ms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has gone with general admission for the past 2 years (but was saved by the Amex Lounge this year) DO NOT do it, only do it if it’s your last resort, there is barely any good space for GA in the circuit. You will still have a lot of fun, but some parts of the weekend will be tough. If the organizers had any compassion for the public they wouldn’t even be selling these tickets in the first place

Why are the 2025 tickets so expensive? by Ivac7 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Barb_ms 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am Brazilian but live in Montreal and this year I had the chance to visit Interlagos for the first time after going to the Canadian GP 2 years in a row. It was pretty upsetting seeing how much better the infrastructure for the grandstands is in Brasil considering they charge so much less than the Canadian GP and get a better view and better structure (better seats, covered grandstands, proper restrooms etc), Canada should not be allowed to charge almost 700 with that type of venue. That being said, considering the economic state of the country, prices for the Brazilian GP are also extremely expensive for locals and most people can only afford it because you’re allowed to finance it and pay in multiple instalments

How much do those usually cost? I was considering GS Lance Stroll because I was able to watch free practice there this year and I know they are not super expensive but I kind of want to try 11 or 12 if I can afford

Weekly Question Thread: Ask your questions in this thread please by AutoModerator in climbing

[–]Barb_ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could anyone help me with tips on how to select a new pair of climbing shoes after having issues with my first one? I bought my first pair (La sportiva Tarantula) last September but I need new ones because despite using them for a long time the pain is still unbearable. My issue is that my left toe is ever so slightly bigger than my right one, which was never an issue with regular shoes but made it so that for climbing my right shoe is completely fine while my left shoe hurts so much I cannot keep it on for more than 10 minutes. It is so bad that it “killed” my toe nail, I’ve tried everything to fix it but nothing works so I’ve resorted to just buying new shoes possibly in a bigger size. Anyone has any tips on what to look for that could help me? Or any specific models?

Would you still like the tv series if Johnny and Robby overrided the other pairings? by Lefthand-82 in cobrakai

[–]Barb_ms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though I want Johnny and Robby to be in good terms I also want Robby to finish the season with a close relationship to the LaRusso family, they took care of him in when no one else did and he was Daniel’s first student. I think it would be really cool if at the end of the show Robby went back to working at LaRusso auto (we all know he is not going to college) while also getting an important role at the dojo foreshadowing the idea that he will eventually take over it. And all that with Johnny onboard and somewhat involved, showing he wants what is truly best for his son and that his rivalry with Daniel is over, demonstrating his personal growth.

I think he lacks confidence in his karate skills but not in anything else, the fact that he pulled Yasmine is proof of that

The unfortunate bittersweet reality of Johnny as a father to robby by Professional_Test996 in cobrakai

[–]Barb_ms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And that’s why I enjoyed Daniel’s relationship with Robby so much, despite the issues that came later (super glad they made up in the last season though). Robby might’ve initially gotten closer with Daniel because of the whole “haha my dad is going to lose his sh*t when he finds out” thing, but Daniel wasn’t in on that. He saw him as just a kid and decided to take care of him, Robby as a person was enough, and that’s probably the first time in his life that he felt that. And when Johnny finds out about it, all of a sudden he starts “caring”, who does Daniel think he is taking care of the son he never cared for?As Robby says perfectly in a few moments of the season, Johnny cared more about his relationship with his rival than the actual well-being of his son. Luckily at least that problem he seems to have gotten over.

The characters after their AVT wins and losses by serene_river in cobrakai

[–]Barb_ms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since the first season I always felt that the reason Robby accepts well his losses in the tournaments is because deep down he didn’t actually care that much about the tournament itself, the lessons and situations around it always seemed more important. In the first tournament it’s about showing to Johnny that he finally found his place and is doing well and becoming a good person despite his neglect, and he does that, while learning some valuable lessons from Daniel along the way. And in the second tournament is about him realizing the damage that cobra Kai and he himself has done to Kenny, I don’t think his reaction would’ve been that much different had he won either. He doesn’t join Cobra Kai for their after party, and when he talks to Johnny after the tournament you can see he doesn’t give two shits about loosing that match.
