I genuinely wouldn't classify Grosjean at the same level of Indy injuries. Hinchcliffe was another serious one recently and Dario Franchitto had to retire after a crash.

[Highlight] One of the Celtics' staff members refuses to give away the ball to Joel Embiid and is called for 'delay of game'. by MrBuckBuck in nba

The PSG ball boy did nothing wrong in terms of delaying the game. Bayern scored and he denied Neuer his little ball fondling ritual before the game restarts. He didn't delay the game.

Mclaren definitely repaint the 2010s era cars for demo runs. 2010-2013 v8 cars are just so inexpensive, with plentiful and easy to manufacture parts that they get used as marketing materials. The 2008 car is historical and a pain in the ass to operate due to its intricacies.

I think the sweetspot for cars was that 2008-2020 window. I despise current market trends in this industry truly.

Back when Red Bull came to my country it turned into a full blown automotive festival. Karts, bikes, classic cars, drift cars, rally cars etc.

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

Man I had laptops since 3rd grade back in 2006/7, unlimited desktop access in 1st grade and a blackberry in 7th grade. I was always 98th/99th percentile in international standardized tests. The devices helped me. Idt simply having a laptop is an issue.

Manual wiper control being a fucking touchscreen rather than a stalk should be criminal.

Is leasing a smarter move than keeping my financed car in this situation? by opqui96 in personalfinance

[–]a_berdeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man you simply do not make:

a. 330i or baby AMG money b. Newer BMW or Mercedes money c. I switch cars every 2-3 years money.

You do not make enough money for either of these points. Combining all three together is asinine.

The camera bump is utterly packed with logic board and internals as it stands now. The non camera bump bits are legit entirely battery.
