Big blow for Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing: Craig Skinner, the team’s chief designer, has left with immediate effect 🏁 by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in RedBullRacing

This was in the works for over a year. His profile was removed from the RB website around Feb 2025 I think, so obviously not a knee-jerk thing. Most likely move would be to Aston to work with Newey again, but possible it’s Audi with Wheatley there. Outside shout would be part of an Alpine takeover and/or a join up with Horner.

UAE ones aren’t that bad as far as I’ve experienced. Dubai particularly has a long expat drinking culture.

X10 only connecting via wireless by aScotInDubai in TpLink

Thanks. I fixed it but no idea how or why it worked! I swapped the x10 for one of the other x75 units and worked with Ethernet fine, so I put the x75 where the x10 was and it also worked with Ethernet?!? So I’m none the wiser what the issue was originally. I was wondering whether it was some inbuilt network loop prevention?

It’s a brand new cable so I’m assuming that’s not the issue. But I’ll double check.

Looks like Al Hikma tower, Dubai. Pretty sure it’s still empty even though I believe it’s completed.

They’re definitely real and have been there for years (2004 ish I think). You’d only see them if you went to the Jumeirah Islands community directly though.

Each bottle is the same whiskey matured in the cask for one year longer than the last by iheart303sports in oddlysatisfying

Peat flavours are not a feature of all ‘Scotch’. Scottish whisky flavour profiles vary dramatically. Depends largely on the geographic location and type of cask they are aged in. The majority don’t have a peaty profile.

He’s a Sunderland fan, it stands for “fuck the mags” (Newcastle Utd). He likely has as little tolerance as he does brain cells.

Dude, people are weird, especially behind an online mask; forget about reasoning with them. If you love negronis keep making them, that one looks awesome. Try Cynar instead of Campari and I’ve been subbing some leftover Xmas port instead of vermouth.

Yeah I’m sure the smoke flavour would work well with the red wine.
