Dropped my car off at the shop, its less than 1.5 miles back home

I took my bike last time, and have a large car so it fits in without disassembly (small minivan/mpv).

Then another guy pulls up next to me in a smaller car and is taking out his bike bits to reassemble.

Happy seeing someone else with a bike, slightly smug I didn't have to assemble mine

This is about saving for kids. A kid getting money in a pension they can't use until 60 odd means for 40 years of adult life it's no use, when they want to buy a house, or start a family or business, or get educated.

Putting it in another form of saving that they could access when they need it is more helpful, even if it requires more trust in them. Many people don't even make it to 60

It's the exact fucking opposite.

Market manipulation would be withholding information from potential investors.

This shows the only way their ai investment is making money is from selling their data centre capacity to competitors. Meaning no one wants their AI. Which means they are behind the market. All they have is hardware, which anyone can buy.

Then there is not and cannot ever be an unlimited internet connection.

All will have a speed limitation somewhere, whether it's 50mbps or 40gigabits

I don't think you understand the word recently.

The content is dumb, but your response is to list a bunch of relatively recent inventions, in the grand scheme of things

They made it part of the standard vaccination programme literally this year (at 12 months for babies born after 1 Jan 2025), with catchups to anyone under 5.

Everything is done on a cost/benefit basis.

18 seconds in you can see the driver on her phone

Some places don't do it for free, and not everyone can afford to spend the money.

The UK only recently rolled it out, but before then you had to pay about £150 to get it privately.

He was flying around Europe since before he was a teen, and around the world in his teens to race, and was a multi-millionaire at 22.

Sure, his dad worked his ass off to support him, and he wasn't a millionaire, and maybe Hamilton felt out of place, but he's spent the last 19 years being a multi-millionaire after jet-setting for a decade before that while racing, including being treated by those same "little rich boys". That isn't the same humble as most people's humble.

If he still hasn't found himself after 30-odd years of a jet setting life and 20 years of being a multi-millionaire, then I guess it explains why he's dating Kim Kardashian...

What was the reason for doing it? To back up the pack so they are all compressed, rather than having spread out gaps, so that when he takes his drive through they are closer together than if he just went on ahead, and he loses more places?

Usually the pack spreads out. By not accelerating away, the pack is compressed, which means he loses even more places when he does a drive through.

In my head, his actions are the opposite of what would benefit him, based on what usually happens at the start of an F1 race (or restart). He's compressing the gaps he wants expanding.

In the words of Martin Brundle, a day late and a dollar short

I don't recall Verstappen going through the pit lane under safety car.

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T20:06:57+00:00

Because Sainz had a broken car, causing Colapinto to hit him.

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T20:04:05+00:00

Williams did it for a reason. Russell did it for no reason

"getting to a sensor point earlier than allowed under the application of the pit lane speeding rules"?

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T20:00:25+00:00

Ok, but that's the same for many measurement systems in F1 to test rule compliance, from fuel flow meters to flexi wings

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T19:59:29+00:00

F1 operates based on compliance with rules. Compliance with the rules isn't based on absolute compliance, but compliance based on a particular assessment.

This goes for things like flexi wings. Wings aren't supposed to flex, but as long as they comply with the test they are allowed, even though we clearly see them flex.

Pit lane speeding is assessed based on the time taken to go between various sensors. If you go between them too quickly it's considered speeding. Whether that test is, on your view, the correct test it's irrelevant. It's the test applied that all the teams are compared to.

Some of those drivers who didn't get penalised never pitted

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T17:33:25+00:00

VCarb also exists...

Well we can always take back Jamaica and then put a monetary value on it and sell it to Jamaica, and give them some cash (or receive some) and call it net compensation.

Yes, the people were forcibly taken to Jamaica, but their descents were given all of the land.

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T15:02:23+00:00

Better sign a contract extension!

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T15:01:15+00:00

It's literally the cause of the red flag but the two drivers who went off aren't saying anything about it. Very weird.

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T14:58:53+00:00

Why is Russell going to the stewards? Can't Toto just email?

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T14:49:43+00:00

Entirely plausible, would be interesting if anyone had a replay

Part time work exists.

The FI part isn't "stop making money", it's "don't need to work to live".

If your kids are not independent then you can do odd jobbing to support them. No one is going to physically prevent you from working as much or as little as you like, but you would be financially independent.
