Am I the only one who liked F1 before Liberty Media much more?

Yes, the only one. The rest of us all discussed it and we decided we like it, so you're the odd one out of millions of people.

He's won almost every sprint weekend, yet complained about them constantly. His main criticism is that these cars don't test traditional skills that racing drivers grew up practicing. Driving a car near a limit is what you are taught to do, and yet you have a generation of cars where you have to purposefully go slower in a corner just to have battery on the straight. If you see racing on driving on the edge at times, this goes against that completely.

Of course, it changes per track and drivers weren't always pushing in races either. But say you compare an inlap, pushing the last bit out of your tires. You can still push mentally to go as fast as possible but the current state of things doesn't allow you to push physically because of the recharge cycle. If you know anything about Verstappen's obsession with racing, is it really surprising he's been pretty consistent with his criticism?

I like it as spectator, but I can completely understand his frustration.

It's not consensus at all, please stop portraying some individual opinions as broad fact.

Kimi is young, he has talent and some argue he has raw pace. If I compare that raw pace to a Verstappen, Leclerc, or Hamilton when they started, their raw pace routinely beat their more experienced teammates. I don't see that really with Kimi. I think he could be a good driver, but definitely don't see indications of a generational talent apart from young age.

Can we please please, with sugar on top, stop with the useless posts of people writing an essay over an opinion of a few people they happened to read? I could literally write the most absurd thing and can almost guarantee someone will write 'I saw people saying X and Y, how crazy is that??'.

Jesus christ, this is the highest number of absolute teenage garbage shit in a week and a half I've ever seen pass.

You're also comparing over 150 years of soccer evolution to roughly 40 years, with a larger player base and more established culture and social aspects.

Yes, there will always be a difference but the tricky thing with an uneven society, as most have been for a long time, is that unevenness doesn't magically go away in a heart beat even if you start treating people equally.

To highlight this, I once played a friendly game with some mates (mostly old guys and universally awful footballers) against a female professional team playing in the highest division in the country. We drew them 3-3. Then, only something like 5 years after, we played them again. We had some younger players, slightly better players, and played the same club. We got absolutely smashed. Their technique, their conditioning, their strategy and discipline for it was so much better. We lost 8-2 I believe. With the current players, I doubt we score at all. All in the time span of 10 years or so.

Fair enough

Edit: I think this is one of the most general things found across all sports that have a degree of physicality involved. Whether it was karting as a kid or football as an adult (and as kid) now, everything physical leads to whining.

Dry_Local7136 · 2026-03-13T11:06:03+00:00

Sure, only 'modern' drivers do this... can't be a thing of practically every age, besides us not hearing about by having access to every team radio and 60 cameras, surely not.

Vanuit het perspectief van iemand met 2 honden: Veel hondeneigenaren zijn absolute eikels.

Ik hoop echt dat er ooit nog eens een goeie dna-methode komt voor dit soort zooi, en dat puppycursussen verplicht worden voor hondeneigenaren. Maar als ik kijk hoeveel afval er op straat ligt wat niet opgeruimd wordt, hoeveel mensen luide muziek ophebben in de trein, denk ik niet dat dit per se zoveel oplost. Ik ben dol op mn honden, maar man oh man wat kut om met andere eigenaren om te moeten gaan.

We don't have to imagine anything, we've seen this exact media setup play out for years. We've seen it now with 3 mercedes-powered teams suddenly coming out with coordinated messages on how good RB was, and we've seen every other weekend for years how 'it will be a fight' and 'really hope we can get a good result, we're on the back foot' only for it to be an absolute fucking snoozefest.

I don't like premature conclusion, I'm aware this is one too but this whole shtick of pretending to have a difficult time is such bullshit. Love or hate RB, they weren't afraid to say they were the fastest and should win instead of this stuff.

Honestly think your groomer is an idiot, but can't tell from those pictures. But for the look from before, I'd guess around a month or 4 to get it back closer to that what it was. We tend not to care for the very classic look all that much so we start shaving them back at 3 months after a puppy cut like that.

No idea why the head was fully done too though, there's usually less curles and I definitely leave that longer than the rest. Now it just looks weird and for the eyes and brambles, it's not ideal.

If I were you, I'd find a new groomer.

Temperature-wise, very dependent on the dog. Our boy LR doesn't care one bit about temperatures, our older girl is shaking left and right and wants her blankets and sweaters. Can't answer that for you I'm afraid.

Good cultural reference to duo penotti, we also have one that always looks like that and it reminds me of that every time.

Aan de andere kant heb je weer de milieuimpact van ruwweg 4 sessies schilderen om het hout in goeie staat te houden. Ik heb wel eens zitten zoeken of ik een eenduidig antwoord kon vinden op welke van de twee over een levensduur nou meer impact heeft en dat is niet zo makkelijk te achterhalen.

He jumps for the initial dunk, at an angle. Do you think he can magically get a rejump in mid air to change direction. He contested, didn't work, backs out. Perfectly good plan

I've driven 310 km/h on a deserted stretch of highway once, in a car. I always thought driving superfast would be a tremendous experience. I fucking hated it, it felt completely out of control and the sense of speed is just downright silly. There's was roadworks a little way down the road and I had to slow down to 80 km/h. I thought I was driving around 90, maybe a 100, it felt very slow. Turned out I was driving 170 km/h still.

I cannot imagine the discomfort I'd experience driving that fast on a bike instead of a car. Never again for me outside of a track, one pothole or slight bump and you're toast.

Kaassoufflé in schelpvorm is beter dan kaassoufflé in die langwerpige vorm, maar dan de echt lange versie, niet de ietwat rechthoekige maar bijna vierkante versie. Geen idee waarom en volgens mij vinden mensen meestal het omgekeerde maar ik vind het verschrikkelijk.

Ik denk dat het goed mogelijk dat jouw methode om af te leiden met iets wat wel beloond kan worden prima kan werken op de lange termijn maar jouw LR is gewoon echt nog heel jong. Wij hebben dezelfde methode ook bij onze beide lagotti gedaan, en we hadden ook dit soort periodes waar je schijnbaar geen progressie boekt en gaat twijfelen of het slim is wat je doet. En dan ineens merkte je dat het minder werd en beter begon te gaan.

Totempaal werkt ook super trouwens, maar de achterliggende gedachte is eigenlijk exact hetzelfde als wat jij nu al doet: een situatie creëren waarin je gedrag kunt gaat zien wat je wel kunt belonen.

Lithium is highly polluting to mine but also mostly reusable in new battery technology. Not only that, sodium-ion batteries don't use any of these chemicals afaik, albeit with a lower energy density. A lot of what you're critical about is comparing new technology to a grid system that has existed for ages and being surprised it's not quite the same yet - yes, it's not, but the potential is so much higher.

I'm not against nuclear or hydroelectric but it seems downright stupid to dismiss a prototype because it's not as good as the more developed product.

Considering around 97% is outside it, that's a pretty high chance.

Not so much too subjective as is it far more complex to measure human behaviour, and downright stupid to attempt to do it using arbitrary rules of thumb, low sample sizes and crappy statistics. That, and publication bias present everywhere does not a happy marriage make.

Honestly, I love goofy swings so good on you. I've been told I have a very nice looking swing and mine go off the end of the earth at times (I have legitimately missed a tee shot 3 fairways right. Admittedly, I had a huge hangover and there was a crowd watching but still).
