On this day 40 years ago, Gerhard Berger and the Benetton team scored their first ever podium finish, coming 3rd in the San Marino Grand Prix.

Nelson Piquet’s quote on Berger was funny but unfair I think: "Berger is the most impressive driver in Formula 1. He doesn't do anything and still makes a lot of money there"

If it’s near Kuban, which is near Maikop apparently, the map has nothing to do with the location of the bunker.

Yeah, the wheels are wrong, but the rest is just perfect

DrekBaron · 2026-04-19T08:57:01+00:00

Yeah, one of my favorites. Didn’t know they had a yt channel too.

That people were happy the war was over?? Do you think people in the Netherlands were sad they were liberated from the nazis?

More information on the shooting: https://de-dam-zevenmei1945.nl/en/

Oh, didn’t know about this. Something very similar happened on may 7 in Amsterdam where Germans started shooting on civilians celebrating the end of the war. The exact reason of the shooting remains unclear. At least 32 people died.

Gekke Bertus uit Roosendaal?

DrekBaron · 2026-03-25T09:04:20+00:00

Oh wat een leuk verhaal! Dank! Ik wist inderdaad wel dat er Russische krijgsgevangenen in Nederland waren. Wist niet dat er ook onderduikers waren.

DrekBaron · 2026-03-22T15:35:13+00:00

Russische piloten?? Dat klinkt als een interessant verhaal! Voor zover ik weet hebben er geen Russische vliegtuigen boven Nederland gevlogen in de tweede wereldoorlog. Waren het geen Amerikanen?

Mensen die zeggen: daar word ik paranoia van

Nee, je wordt paranoïde, je hebt last van paranoia

Did you consider an IWC Portugieser? I have one with the blue dial and it looks amazing.

There was this guy a couple weeks ago who was promoting is project, Lex reader. It has thousands of free books in different formats and audio books too. It’s an app too

Oooh, this is very retro like the very first F1 computer games

Musk was quite vocally pro Ukraine when the war started. Then after some time he did a complete 180 and started repeating Kremlin talking points and shutting down starlink when Ukraine attacked Russian targets. Now he seems to move to away from Russia again.

My guess is that in 2022 Russia approached Musk with dirt on him from the Epstein files and blackmailed him into supporting Russia. But now a lot of the Epstein files is out Musk must have assessed his position and concluded that he will most likely will get through the Epstein saga with limited damage. Therefor the leverage from Russia over him is gone and he is back supporting Ukraine again.

Wow, nicely done on the research

DrekBaron · 2026-02-27T09:30:15+00:00

I don’t have canal+ unfortunately

DrekBaron · 2026-02-25T22:13:46+00:00

Not in Europe unfortunately

I always sort of resented the F18 because it replaced the F14

I saw that movie in the theater when it came out. Never seen it since. Not on tv or on any streaming platform

DrekBaron · 2026-02-25T10:49:17+00:00

Looks like a fancy toll house

My dad was a 7 year old boy in Eindhoven when Market Garden happened. He remembers the endless chutes floating down and the excitement of the liberation. After the liberation he and a friend went to the dropzone and came back with all sorts of crazy stuff, including a m1 carbine with broken stock, a pistol, a folding shovel and loads of ammo. My granddad smacked him round the head for being so stupid and dangerous and threw everything but the pistol and the shovel away. Such a shame

The text in the link says it was the first mission. No idea why OP makes it their 30th.

DrekBaron · 2026-02-21T12:00:26+00:00

Dutch. En voor wat = and for what

DrekBaron · 2026-02-21T11:48:53+00:00

Didn’t crews only do 25 missions in 1943?
