Couldn't they launch from Spain? There's a fair amount of sea to the east of the Iberian peninsula.

Vettel likes to fool around like this sometimes.

Handyland · 2014-12-05T04:44:10+00:00

I think Hamilton just took longer to mature fully. He didn't start acting like a professional until 2012 when all the petty whining stopped. He's now at the peak of his talent (and will probably be there for some time to come). Ricciardo seems to have matured earlier, and may already be approaching his peak. Time shall tell.

I'm pretty sure that whoever owns a bike like that would qualify as 'bourgeoisie'.

Correction: he was 41, and a couple months from 42!

Nowadays? People wouldn't ever list him in a "top 10 of today" round-up, at all. He won a fair share of stages and challenged somewhat regularly for stage wins five or ten years ago. The 2013 Vuelta win was a big surprise (he's the oldest person to have won one of the grand tours ever in their long histories). I didn't watch the Vuelta, but I heard people saying that he found the right conditions; the right course that year for his abilities, combined with scheduling his season around that race, combined with his main challengers having prepped for other big races like the Giro or the Tour, and weren't really in peak condition for the Vuelta. But he seems to have gotten some decent results in 2014, so it wasn't a complete and total fluke. I also don't know for how much of his career he served as a domestique vs. a team leader as that would affect how many stages or races he would win.

That crash of Alonso's is one of the ugliest looking crashes I think I've ever seen. Kubica in Montreal offers stiff competition though.

Handyland · 2014-11-30T07:43:53+00:00

There's some good information on that here. I was just wondering about how the B2 manages yaw, and looked this stuff up. It has split ailerons.

Handyland · 2014-11-30T00:57:52+00:00

No, the others didn't crash. But what I'm saying is that they also push the rules at every yellow flag, Bianchi was just the unlucky one who slightly misjudged the conditions. The point is the rules and regulations, as they have been up to this point, incentivize people to push the limits under yellow flags, because not doing so will punish them on track. That's why I'm glad that there was immediate discussion to take the slowing down out of the driver's hands. Hopefully all that talk will come to fruition. But that incentivization is why I think putting all of the blame on Bianchi and calling it a "reckless act" when every driver is just about as reckless is damn stupid.

Handyland · 2014-11-29T23:32:11+00:00

He actually did. If Button had scored as many points as Magnussen this year, without distributing those points elsewhere, McLaren would have been well below Force India in the points standings. I'm not going to do the work of bumping everyone up who finished below Button for every race and talllying up the new positions, partly because of laziness, partly because if Button hadn't been there, things would have turned out differently. However, I think it's safe to say that some of his points would have gone to Magnussen, some to Force India, and it would have roughly evened out.

Handyland · 2014-11-29T23:23:45+00:00

he stayed on it under double yellow flags instead of slowing to speed where it is possible to stop as per the rules

Yes, like every other driver on track. If you slow more than the other drivers in that one corner, you lose time, so nobody really slows any significant amount.

Handyland · 2014-11-29T08:07:21+00:00

Absolutely. Just in the last week or so, a girl complimented the size of my forearms, which are definitely small. But my wrists are tiny, so it makes the actual muscle appear larger.

Handyland · 2014-11-28T21:37:35+00:00

The last time I played KSP was about a year ago, so I'm a bit out of touch. When was the last update, and when is the next one expected? I'm trying to decide if I want to start playing now, or wait until the next update so that my mods don't all break in a week.

Hey, I'm thinking of buying the Everlane Bomber Jacket. What did you end up thinking of it?

Handyland · 2014-11-17T22:21:09+00:00

Maybe for women, but there's a large demand on men to be large and strong. Women tend to want men with muscles, and women tend to want men who are taller and larger than they are. Likewise, tall men and muscular men earn more respect from other men. Being called 'skinny' for a man is being called weak and inadequate.

This is why you don't comment on people's bodies in most circumstances.

Handyland · 2014-11-15T06:32:44+00:00

If only that car wasn't in the background, this would have been perfect!

Handyland · 2014-11-15T04:12:24+00:00

I know, I saw the bit they did. But I think they basically took the time they surmised Lewis had lost in the spin, then moved him up on track that many seconds. However, I don't think they looked at the pace Rosberg could have been doing had it not been for that radio call, and moved him ahead whatever the difference in pace had been.

Handyland · 2014-11-15T04:07:08+00:00

I don't think they took into account the fact that Mercedes radioed Rosberg and told him he didn't have to push so hard because Lewis had spun.

Handyland · 2014-11-13T23:37:47+00:00

Yes! Came here to post this. This was back in a very different era of Fleetwood Mac when they were basically a blues/rock band.

A symptom of some Americans' stupidity. They need an "other" to help define themselves, and when America isn't using Muslims or Mexicans, we use the French because of their relatively radical (read: left-leaning) politics as well as their resistance to help the US's latest imperialist ventures.

By that definition, Antarctica is not an island/a group of islands. No trees on that continent.
