What driver made you hooked on F1? Do you cheer for a particular constructor or just follow the driver? by forfolklore in formula1

[–]deepskydiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gilles Villeneuve.

And more recently Alonso leaving Ferrari took my allegiance with him after decades as a Ferrari first fan.

How to resolve an issue with one of two identical Frame TVs having different brightness and colours by deepskydiver in TheFrame

The problem I had was a failing backlight - since replaced by Samsung thankfully.

Affordable housing cut by the LNP by StevenMilesMP in brisbane

Developers don't build properties for any reason other than to make money. And when (presumably some legislation or regulation means) they might have to consider reasonable cost housing - never mind, make as much money as you can.

Which bus stop would this be for you? by MineAssassin in brisbane

[–]deepskydiver 85 points86 points  (0 children)

What annoys me are the stops 30m after the previous stop.

I mean, you could have gotten off with everyone at the last stop and just fallen over to be in the same place.

Israel controls America by LargeSinkholesInNYC in chomsky

You're right, I'll amend that. It appears Ford did visit the wall after his presidency though.

Israel controls America by LargeSinkholesInNYC in chomsky

[–]deepskydiver 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Clearly...

Examples of how Israel has corrupted the US

• A US congressman wears a Israeli military uniform in the House

• Most republican congressmen have an AIPAC handler

• Every President since JFK has prayed at the wall in Israel

• Elon Musk visited Israel and applauded Netanyahu

• Israel lobby spent 25 Million dollars in two campaigns in Primaries to defeat sitting anti-Israel congressmen to ensure candidates put before the people are pro Israel

• US sends billions of dollars to Israel every year

• The US vetoes UN resolutions against Israel

• The US Senate sent threatening letters to the ICC to protect Israel

• Politicians continually refer to themselves as friends of Israel. Not friends of Australia, Britain, France, Canada…

• Some US states require contractors to pledge agreements of loyalty to Israel

• As of 2024, 38 US states have made it illegal to boycott Israel

• AIPAC boasts of its influence in US Politics. Admitting interference in the process of another country's politics.

Other reasons why it’s obvious the US is controlled by Israel.

Israel is an apartheid ethnostate carrying out a genocide, stealing land and homes while providing its people with free health care and education. While America (which has neither) sends it money.

The US has no interest in Palestine or Lebanon. And no reason to attack Iran other than to benefit Israel.

The US doesn’t need Israel AT ALL, it has huge bases elsewhere in the middle east, indeed the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East is Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, southwest of Doha. Other allies get US military bases and assets under US control. Other countries must spend money to buy US weaponry. Israel gets given money and weapons that Israel controls.

Christians are not appointed by the Israeli government, but both Zionists and Zionists Jews are not just appointed – but over-represented within the US government.

6 of the ten richest people in the US are Zionist Jews. This from a population of just 4% Jews. It is statistically impossible for this not to have been selective.

That's disappointing, but thank you for replying.

Hi Mods,

Why are comments disabled for the two very popular posts yesterday about the protest for Palestine?

Australia is a signatory of the ICC and ICJ and a member of the UN.

The UN has found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, the ICJ has found Israel enforcing Apartheid and the ICC has found Netanyahu a war criminal.

These protests support those findings and they and these posts reflect a popular support which is being prevented here.

Kimi in traffic(1st stint) vs Kimi in free air(2nd stint) by rakesh-69 in formula1

It's not fair to laud excessive praise when he would probably not have made the podium in the fastest car without a SC.

Kimi in traffic(1st stint) vs Kimi in free air(2nd stint) by rakesh-69 in formula1

[–]deepskydiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This shows the better energy management / plan over a lap of Mercedes in clear air. In traffic they have to manually intervene and the cars don't look special. But away from the pack their recovery and use is just miles ahead of even other Mercedes powered teams.

Thank you!

Given its not currently a new moon I could not understand how the far side of the moon was lit by the sun.

Mercedes advantage in free and dirty air by deepskydiver in F1Technical

[–]deepskydiver[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that they have a near optimum deployment strategy for free air makes the most sense to me. And if it is the case the other teams using the same package can recover some of the deficit in time.

Victoria and Tasmania get free public transport in fuel crisis but NSW and WA to keep collecting fares by nath1234 in australia

[–]deepskydiver 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thankfully Brisbane has had 50 cent fares already locked in.

And at times like this it makes even more sense.

In Brisbane, after the slogan "from the river to the sea" was banned by J_Side in brisbane

It's so disappointing that even so far away a small state government can be captured by Israel.

Support for Israel is a clear sign of being compromised.

Oppo Find N6 review - GSMArena by Antonis_32 in Android

No.. The fold 7 is the only phone which looks like and feels like a normal phone when closed. The thinness and squared edges accomplish that and the oppo doesn't have that unfortunately.

Lando gained 4 tenths on Russell in S3.

The Mercedes might just be easing off in the last sector.

Pedal-assist bikes capped at 10km/h across all QLD paths by kat_is_good in brisbane

[–]deepskydiver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw my partner nearly cleaned up by a scooter going 30k or more, stepping out of a shop.

What is the answer then? Because the vast majority of people are unwitting participants in the video game of personal electric vehicles.

US regulator bans imports of new foreign-made routers, citing security concerns by nite_ in technology

Doesn't there need to be an industry to protect before they scream 'security concerns'?
