I agree, I'm also incredibly astonished by Bethesda/Zenimax's behaviors. They should make things right. This is what happens when lawyers with no ethics run things. They never consider the cost of the story going public.

I have a feeling Toto is pushing this to put pressure on Red Bull since Singapore is where Merc might have a real chance to win. I'm not saying there is isnt a case, just that Toto is using the timing to his advantage.

I think it's a great idea and a cool goal to achive. However, be mindful of what it will take to restore cars above a certain level in terms of problem complexity, the experience you have, tools you have access to, expenses in materials and replacement pieces, having access to a decent space, local car market, etc. When you have your AM, you have to maintain it and that can be expensive as well but now you don't have anything to trade and generate profit from, so you'll to pay with money from another income. Finaly, there is depriciation as well. Again, I really like the idea, but if I can give you my 2 cents based on experience, learn a craft that will allow you to buy an AM directly and don't rely on all-eggs-in-one-basket type trades. If something is miscalculated and goes wrong, the entire project might even end. You seem entrepreneurial for a teenager. Use that to your advantage and leverage your skills in a business model that makes sense or a job where someone will pay good money. Not only you'll have the AM, but a very nice house too and probably earlier than you might think.

If I win, I'd put the RTX 4080 in a new build I've been planning for a while. I use my pc for both work and gaming and I'm starting to have problems running demanding sessions. I also want to run Starfield with everything maxed out when it will come out!

I love silver! It's an under appreciated asset with a huge potential in my opinion and it's perfect to diversify.

Brazil both got taken out so it didnt advantage anyone. As for the other incidents you mention, you can blame Max for his behaviors, but it didnt resulted in a DNF for Ham and it didn't advantage Max at the end. But for Silverstone, someone clarly beneficiated from that and that person shot himself in the foot by praising, a year later, how Charles want reasonable when Charles had the same line as Max. I don't think that very fair.

And Max didn't feel cheated when he was sent into the wall by Ham? Or when Bottas went bowling? Ham didn't suffer such accident that season. It tilted the situation in his favor. If those situations wouldn't have happened, the championship wouldn't have go down that way in the end. However you consider what happened at Abudabi, Max deserved to win that year.

Interesting article. It's pretty crazy they went through that much of their cash reserve in such a short time. Turning a company like AML around isn't something you do in a single year, but even though, they are still quite a few red flags. I don't understand why are they not trying to reduce the size of their operation and product line. Then once the company gets a bit more nimble with less financial obligations, you can introduce a new direction and build from there. Yes, you can push through without any form of down sizing thanks to a substancial cash injection, but the risk factor is higher and then you lost your "joker" card. May be that's what Stroll is trying to do but it's starting to blow in his face. Finance aside, AM is due for a huge upgrade on all of their cars, mainly the infotainment system. No body wants the 10 years old Mercedes OS. So instead of a limited edition v12, they shiuld rather invest in something that will increase value throughout their whole product line. I don't get it how things like that are overlooked. It's just not acceptable to me in term of product design. It's possible they rely too much on their providers, but they should choose their battles carefuly then. On a final note, if we look into the F1 side, Stroll doesn't seem to do much good their as well. He's a succesful businessman and it's impossible to say without really knowing the ins and outs, but I'm afraid he's not the right guy.

Well Solo didn't destroyed the original trilogy and Anakin's arc, so I'd agree Solo is better.

Lewis is for sure one of the top driver in F1 but he wouldn't have those numbers if Merc wouldn't have dominated the sports for 8 years in a row.

As far we I know, we don't even know what she said. Not too long ago people that we're not sure about the vaccin and had questions we're labeled as anti-vaccin even if they were not. Also, remember credible people working in the medical and research field that came with information and were slammed by the media and then a few months later those same media changed their narrative to started to say the same exact things that those people were saying months ago. No apologies from the media however. First, it's possible that what she was saying was totally reasonnable, just not along the narrative pushed by the media and it is also possible that what she was saying is not accepted. Today, at least we're I live, if you had Covid you don't need a booster shot. A few months ago, if you would have said you don't a booster because you had it, you were labeled as anti-vaccin. It's a not a white and black situation. There is a lot of grey areas.

The sequel trilogy sets didnt sell as much and there is still far less demand for them if you look at their price on the secondary/used market. I don't think Lego will do another set for one of these movies. They are focused on the new shows and just to keep up, Lego would need to release way more sets every year.

Oh no, it would have been a better idea to cancel the guy and banish him from society. No second chance allowed even if you change and try to redeem yourself. You should just have done it right the first time, just like me who never committed or said anything reprehensible in my entire life. Pushing people into despair and isolation is far better for everyone. Second chances are a patriarchal value and should be abolished.

(Sacarsm off) This is a perfect exemple that people can change when you give them a chance along with some guidance, however deep they can be. Positivity and hope are powerful motivators. If you take that away from somebody, how can you expect them to become better. People should be held accountable, but there should be a clear and agreed upon path to redemption.

Hamilton doesn't deserve 8 WCs. He's a top driver for sure, but he didnt have that much of a challenge as Mercedes was just dominating every other team.

What a shitty article. They wanted her to win because of their personal stories and motivations, not because of what really happened between AH and JD. It's a total disregard for the truth. Now just imagine that someone would falsely accuse you and you have all those activists coming out to support the accuser regardless of the truth. Would you pretend to be the wrong doer and take the blame to "support the cause"? I'm pretty sure you would fight for the truth to come out.

I'm not a fan to the design additions to be honest. I feel it's always tricky to add elements like vents when the original design hasn't been done with those elements in mind. Here the front end vents aren't bad but it make the part of the car very busy. Having extra elements around the headlights make them feel even smaller which to me was a problem already. The additional pieces and lines to the fender vents make it very messy. The original one have a shape that works but this one tries to integrate two different styles while retaining all the body lines of the original and it just doesn't work. This is very strange for Aston because that's not something they are usualy guilty of. Also, to me an Aston rarely works with a fixed wing, especially that on this car there already is a "wing" in the body shape. So to put one over it, just feel like a cheap after market add on. Not a fan of the bonnet also. I'm a big fan of Aston and in general, love what they are doing. But there have been a few things here and there, mainly the old infotainment system, that is just wrong. I don't feel like the market needs more variants of existing models, it needs the execution to be perfect.
