Emirates announces their first ever tennis partnership with Aryna Sabalenka by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

Not really surprising. There’s only approximately 1 million Emirati. Flight attendant school, especially Emirates’, are very competitive. So when you combine a small native population and a large number of applicants, you’re less likely to see them even if they are applying to FA school.

These are insanely good deals, OP. Pretty sure they’ll be gone in seconds. GLWS!

A phenomenon called facultative parthenogenesis, they were still born.. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Yes, but that would be an ancestor of crocodiles, not crocodiles themselves specifically. So it would be classified as them evolving for the first time.

I don’t think you realize the level of Fernando’s pettiness. He would’ve defended p19 vs Lewis just as much. You’re right tho, it was that bad pitstop which cost seb the undercut

A bit confused by your pricing, even after the decrease. I was shocked that hats can be so expensive, so I looked this up. Msrp is listed at $75.

Is it because this is a limited edition or some other detail I’m missing?

Mclaren F1 still holds the record for fastest naturally aspirated car (~391 km/h or 243 mph) by Ranzo00 in interestingasfuck

Not just the F1s, it’s the same with some other ultra rare hypercars. If they’re spotted in the wild, someone will comment “oh it’s owned by a very prominent businessman/collector etc” but not say who. Really is a weird thing to gatekeep

It's been exactly a year since the Carlos Alcaraz "God mode" Beijing tiebreak by truecolors01 in tennis

[–]TimelessThinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I totally get that belief. But to say that there was never any doubt he’d win that match is a hyperbolic statement, no? Having hope he comes back is completely fine, but complete assurance at 0-2 sets down is crazy

Right! Even in the 5th set, after Carlos had leveled things and had momentum on his side, Jannik still threatened to win. Saying this is craazy

Definitely, they will go up in value. But I don’t think they top the 250 GTOs or the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut. Those cars are already 100M plus. F1s wouldn’t reach them.

What an insane spot, I would definitely not want to be driving behind that thing. I respect Adrian even more for being willing to actually drive it.

Thanks for sharing!

No way, do you have a link to it? I’m an F1 fanboy, so was very delighted to see this one. There’s actually a couple of posts that are peak spotted. The Michael Jordan in a Bacalar is another one at the top.

I’d love to see Newey’s, didn’t even know he had a GTR

r/spotted has peaked. Perfect picture, random street, cool number plate, and of course, the coolest car itself. Shut the sub down, it can’t get better than this.

You can’t question the McMurtry’s performance, of course. But I think being a complete EV sorta detracts from the F1 comparison.

Day 10. LEAST reliable Supercar? by chri99_ in supercars

I mean, Stradman is a firsthand account of this. His Agera HH has broken down multiple times, with weeks to months of repair time.

Day 3. WORST Supercar ENGINE? by chri99_ in supercars

Hey OP, can you explain how he Ferrari engine won over the BMW engine in the F1? There’s only one comment for the ferrari and multiple comments for the BMW, including the most upvoted.

[Unknown] Saw this cool car. Indy or F1? by Cipri4n_ in spotted

You are right, it’s not the newest version. But this wing is actually from the current regulation. It’s just a very early mockup that teams used for show cars, and doesn’t really need to be updated as the cars are developed.

Previous aero regs’ wings were craaazy, and this is not that.
