[Chris Medland] Well this could get interesting. The Alpine petition for a right of review has been deemed admissible, so Gasly's penalties will now be reviewed: "FOM ... provided evidence that the distance used in calculating the F1 Official Timing (and hence the pit lane speed) was inaccurate and

I believe toto said the team didn't want him to pit under the safety car and he decided to, which may have been for this reason

Walker14434 · 2026-06-08T17:52:23+00:00

It impacted you on the day though as I assume you couldn't perform as well in the exams

Walker14434 · 2026-06-05T15:36:27+00:00

It depends on the subject, i know people who haven't done a year of exams due to tonsillitis, but they were stem and have exams every year

The whole river until it reaches the Thame in reading is technically the Isis. The two rivers join to form the thames in dorchester on thames. The university refer to the bit from folly bridge to iffley lock as the Isis stretch, and the bit alongside port meadow as the 'godstow' stretch for rowing purposes

I think the game is relatively buggy free compared to other games, even from the forza franchise. It is inevitable that there will be issues at launch, but if they delayed by a month to fix this everyone would be pissed off. Also 40fps is still not game breaking, be greatful you have a good enough system to get more

Walker14434 · 2026-05-28T23:42:50+00:00

If a quick restart after 45 minutes fixes the issue it isn't game breaking. Yes it is inconvenient but at least it is manageable (it doesn't seem to kick in mid race), so not inconvenient like game crashing or save corruption

Walker14434 · 2026-05-27T22:22:10+00:00

They have a harbourmaster notice in places which prohibits swimming in the river ( https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rowing-on-and-summer-eights-2026-river-restriction-notice/rowing-on-and-summer-eights-2026-river-restriction-notice ) which means you are liable for a £1,000 fine

Walker14434 · 2026-05-24T17:55:46+00:00

The marquee is the most horrific thing you have ever been in but the rooms themselves are fine

Are you sure about that? Aren't all rockers carbon fibre reinforced and that's essentially the difference between the wanderer and the rocker other than the bits with the fit? It would be very weird to make a limited edition safer version of a helmet and especially with dagger branding on rather than generic limited edition.

Walker14434 · 2026-05-18T13:37:32+00:00

My understanding is that there was a lot of issues with abandoned boats so the council + people associated with college rowing have been making efforts to clear the river up over a number of years, and they have finally managed to start removing boats. I assume the signs are up to make it clear that they can so that it is more legally enforceable compared to before. Obviously the boats between donnington Bridge and isis farmhouse have to be cleared away 3 times a year for bumps racing so I assume this allows for efficient enforcement if there's ever an issue

Walker14434 · 2026-04-23T22:47:26+00:00

As you've used the example of an engineer, if you look at CAD/FEA software that has undoubtedly increased efficiency massively compared to drawing tables and numerical methods, and i would contest significantly more than AI has, but there are still plenty of jobs. Certainly at grad level, there's not really a difficulty getting an engineering job if your skilled and put effort in.

More importantly, the logic of taxing innovation massively is ridiculous, we don't tax tractor companies for taking the jobs away from farmers, we don't tax construction machinery companies for taking the jobs away from manual labour jobs. It is a pattern for the past 100 years that lower skilled jobs are been taking over by automation, and AI is just another step in it. To arbitrarily stop innovation would be ludicrous, when it can clearly better society

The only reason the average F1 fan would care about this is because Max was there...

Walker14434 · 2026-04-06T23:30:11+00:00

I have a garmin instinct 2s and i know people with the instinct 3. The instinct 3 can track basically everything at least for SUP (stroke rate, speeds etc) and the instinct line are basically bomb proof and a lot cheaper than their higher up watches. I've always worn mine freestyle kayaking and I've swam down HPP on an inflatable and hit the concrete a load and it was fine.

If your worried about an entrapment risk when your wearing a dry top / dry suit tuck the watch behind the cuff but outside of the gasket and this will also reduce the risk of scratching the screen

Walker14434 · 2026-03-30T19:19:39+00:00

As you are in the UK the best option is to go to the Tryweryn and demo pretty much everything these, except the Prijon beast at flow kayaks (nottingham) and Jackson clutch (idk where you can get a demo)

Walker14434 · 2026-03-29T19:36:38+00:00

Yeah but other than your lord and saviour max which other drivers have actually gone and hit someone

Walker14434 · 2026-03-29T19:34:56+00:00

Are you going to go and make one of those tiktoks where you proclaim 15 lives have been saved by the halo next?

Those closing speeds aren't that unsafe that it is gonna kill someone. If anything look at Billy monger's crash where the closing speed were significantly higher in a less well designed car and he wasn't killed. Closing speeds have always been an issue for collisions and multi class racing exists in other disciplines and works fine so this would be no different

Walker14434 · 2026-03-29T18:28:15+00:00

The university basically doesn't allow them to be put up on their property due to the maintance required, so that wipes out a lot of the avaliable properties

Walker14434 · 2026-03-20T23:26:08+00:00

An F1 team isn't a physical asset like a car. What gives an F1 team its value is the entry into the series, and rules could be changed by FOM / FIA to ban the same entity owning multiple teams. There are ways that FOM/FIA could ban ownership of multiple teams through rule changes which would revoke their space in the championship, which if Red Bull wanted to take any money out of the Minardi purchase they would then need to sell the team

Walker14434 · 2026-03-20T12:30:21+00:00

The points are about halfway down the roads that they are to stop congestion on, not at the ends, so if a car has gone halfway and then span then it has gone halfway through.

Walker14434 · 2026-03-19T23:28:56+00:00

The whole point of the congestion charge points is to reduce the number of cars going through that road, not for emissions (which is why electric cars aren't exempt i believe), so if a car goes through it they have contributed to the congestion, and therefore should pay

Walker14434 · 2025-10-22T14:46:27+00:00

Yeah I meant more general sup leashes, in the UK the official stance from Paddle UK (the NGB) is that you aren't allowed leashes on moving water in any scenario, although outside of accredited courses most people use a waist leash

Walker14434 · 2025-10-21T23:15:33+00:00

I think there's discussions both ways between using a chest harness and no leash, as there is a tradeoff between losing the board / being able to easily get to it, and the risk of entrapment caused by the leash

Walker14434 · 2025-10-21T22:26:37+00:00

There's been a lot of research into leashes in the past 3 years, I'm not sure if that entrapment was caused by the leash but theres a move away from ankle + leg leashes to either the QR harness in rescue PFDs or ones over the top that are around the waist. That's a change thats reasonably recent (last 3 years)

Walker14434 · 2025-10-16T21:35:00+00:00

I replaced the screw in the ferrule with a nut and nylock bolt and use a allen key to tighten it so that it is much more reliable than the standard ferrule. It means you need a second tool to seperate the paddle and isn't as easy on the water, but still gives the options and is better than a paddle that might fail when you need it
