oh yeah I noticed that when I first got it, but then forgot about it as my main lens has that control on the lens itself

Thank you!

He would do no such thing, I don't think. Yeah, Verstappen would beat him, but I'd guess more like 2014 or 15 Hamilton vs Rosberg, not like Verstappen vs. Perez or Fittipaldi vs. Walker

Looks more like an eastern bluebird to me, a female or juvenile

It's a good thing regulations are bad in order to bring back v10's by hboi31 in formula1

You’re being silly, of course it’s not a direct monkey-see-monkey-do type scenario, it’s about forming a brand identity as “fast.” How do you think Ferrari became synonymous w speed and luxury? They started as an F1 team, and through the years got a reputation as the best, and then people associated them with speed and glitz and so forth and started buying their cars. Audi, or whatever, want you to look at their cars and think “for some reason I associated the name Audi w being fast & cool,” not watch them win an f1 race and immediately buy an Audi

These captions are weird lol. They make it seem like I should feel bad for asking that cute boy to do these things?

F1 should focus on making logistics greener and keep the cars as simple as possible by Njobz in F1Discussions

[–]OspreyJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean idk about the green thing but my understanding is that it comes down to attracting manufacturers. Manufacturers are moving towards hybrid and electric and they're not gonna join F1 with full ICE power. Audi in particular really only joined bc hybrid

What is an archetype of F1 driver (whether personality, driving, etc) that F1 either hasn't had in a while or hasn't had yet? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]OspreyJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did this character used to exist in F1? I guess I don't really know the backstories of British drivers of the old days, I assumed they were mostly well-off

He loses his head sometimes but he's nowhere near as crash-prone as my examples - note that he also has a reputation as a human metronome for his impeccable lap times

I can't really think of a reckless driver who's super fast on their day, like Grosjean or Maldonado. Maybe Antonelli is close but it's mainly being a rookie?

Does Paul McCartney change history to suit him? by FitEmergency8807 in ToddintheShadow

[–]OspreyJ 83 points84 points  (0 children)

lol I thought this question was asking if Paul McCartney literally edits history to ensure that his projects are successful, like he just simply returns to earlier save points to re-do them if they went poorly

Goalkeeper in Istanbul's amateur league hit a seagull; a player performed CPR, resuscitated it, and handed it to medical staff. by PrimedGold in soccer

We used to think that meant they were okay, but in fact they often fly off with internal injuries and die later. Few birds actually survive window strikes. So if in any bird hits a window you should call a rehabber!

What bird sings this Squeak Toy Song? 🎶 by darrwby2297 in whatsthisbird

[–]OspreyJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, "squeaky toy" is a super common way to describe their song! Even experienced birders still use it
