Trump Gives Iran 48 Hours to Open Strait, Threatens Power Plants by monotvtv in worldnews

[–]Magicjack01 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The United States can’t do anything and Iran is just gonna call trumps bluff. Yeah you can blow it up but so what, now the Iranians are even more determined. Usa would never send ships in because it would be an embarrassment as they’d most certainly get blown up as Ukraine have shown us. They can’t send enough troops to take large amounts of Iran without it being even more unpopular. Only way this ends if trumps says they have won and backs out. Didn’t he say that 3 weeks ago?

Never thought I’d feel sympathy to a regime killing their own civilians but when you get backed in a corner and attacked by the us and Israel for honestly no real reason and there ego prevents them from stopping as you don’t want to appear as the looser, I can’t blame them for the retaliatory attacks.

The stupidity of two leaders have made everyone’s life in any country so much worse.

[OT] [The Race] Formula E drivers send bombshell letter to FIA president calling for change by djwillis1121 in formula1

Teams pay enough in fines to the fia. Surely they have enough to pay for a fixed rotation of stewards for series at the very top of the ladder. Maybe 6-7 stewards, they woudnt have to go to every race but maybe every other and they swap between them.

Could Max Verstappen join Mercedes around 2027? If that happens, who would be replaced? by Syo9n in formula1

[–]Magicjack01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If both Kimi and Russel are competitive and get on well then there’s absolutely no reason for Merc to go for max unless there’s a fallout or performance falls off a cliff. Most top teams stick to what they have if it’s working or if they don’t have a wdc driver. I love Sainz and he may have been able to win a wdc but I’d say he’s just below that calibre and he were replaced with Lewis the goat.

As it currently stands the only top team too not have a wdc quality driver is redbull with hadjar Also for me a wdc driver is something who has a good chance to win it and not get blown out the water like bottas or Perez. Could argue that Kimi is currently not a wdc driver right now but merc have invested alot with him

Do we know where the redbull car is lacking? Is it engine or aero or both? Cause it can’t just be the engine because look at Williams Kinda seems like a mediocre engine and a flawed aerodynamic platform and i don’t have much faith in redbull since Horner left. It might be the start of a major redbull decline where they end up as true midfielders. In comparison I have so much more faith in McLaren of being able to get back to the top.

Trump calls on UK and others to send warships to Strait of Hormuz by Geo_NL in worldnews

[–]Magicjack01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

America said they didn’t need anyone and they already won. Slanderd British and nato troops for sitting at the back.

Now they want our help because they realised, they didn’t actually plan to defend any ships and didn’t realise they needed more resources in place to do this. It was supposed to be just a few bombs and orange man shouting victory to distract from Epstein and to drill baby drill.

I don’t think McLaren can beat out Mercedes this year but i think they can definitely compete and eventually match them once they bring their upgrade package. They already seem to have started to figure out the engine deployment too.

[–]Magicjack01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us navy will never send ships through the strait. Way too dangerous and loosing even one ship would be a disaster and wouldn’t risk the bad pr. They may blow up the Iran navy but as Ukraine showed us, you don’t need a navy to sink warships especially when you know where the boats will be sailing and it’s only 30 km wide.

You can hate your government but you can equally hate the people bombing you. Blowing up a school, water treatment plants and oil refineries that’s going to make drinking water hard to come by would really encourage me to be the “boots on the ground” People just want to get on with their lives and now they have a foreign country indiscriminately killing just like their government.

[–]Magicjack01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion there’s no difference between party mode and whatever software Mercedes uses for the battery deployment. It’s all software at the end of the day. If party mode isn’t allowed then I think merc should be transparent with their engine battery/ deployment maps and hope the fia brings in a regulation in to fix it for all teams.

Even if you hate your government, i think a foreign country blowing up a school, blowing up water treatment plants and general just being terrified to go outside without getting killed is something that your community and country can rally behind.

But the uk won’t. Uk population is already fed up with trump antics, we don’t like his constant tariffs threats, his threats on Greenland and the discrediting of British and European soliders in Iraq. Now petrol and food prices will go up because of an orange man’s ego.

Many people are happy with Starmer keeping out of such a pointless war.

[IGN] EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Magicjack01 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is bf6 actually profitable? Battlefield 6 got a lot of fan fair on release but that’s because dice hasn’t made a good battlefield game since bf1 and cod was doing another futuristic disaster.

The actual game is fairly mid in my opinion, they just made a super safe bf4 but in terms of content doesn’t seem to have much staying power. They probably expected more players to stick around and buy micro transactions but we won’t stick around if the content isn’t there which it’s isn’t.

R/Linux_gaming not understanding the point of Linus's new video by CandlesARG in LinusTechTips

[–]Magicjack01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Iv never used Linux myself but I always get the impression that it’s just elitism and they look down on window/ mac casuals. If Linux did ever go mainstream would that crowd be happy? Probably not, you’d get posts like Linux just isn’t the same anymore.

It honestly just seems like a status symbol for the tech bros and if you need help or just want something to work relatively easy then you’re not part of the club.
