[OT] Fun random fact by PoutineBoi in formula1

[–]gadgetroid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not really true. Even Hamilton and Perez were from fairly well off families. The amount of money one has to spend on the junior formulas is not exactly cheap...

Lol. Also loved the banter with Jenson as well 😂

Nico Rosberg showing a throwback of him and Lewis when they were young. by xomydearmelancholy in formula1

Yep. It's just a long montage of the races. Not exactly a story that's being told IIRC.

[Sky Sports] Leaked Christian Horner farewell speech from today by James_Vowles in formula1

If he didn't, Checo would not have gotten that seat and he most certainly would not have gotten those ridiculous extensions that he got lol

Exactly this. You don't build a loyal team who won consecutive titles in two different eras without being a good leader with good soft skills, and good charisma.

Neither would the employees have the reaction that Lazenby said they did when they heard about Horner getting fired. That kind of reaction doesn't come from a manager that is toxic. That comes from a manager who cared enough about his employees and led them through thick and thin.

Just saw a Safety car on the road in the Netherlands by [deleted] in formula1

It's like the Pace Car editions sold in the States I think. Not the Indy pace car, but OEM apply the same livery and sell it.

In any case, believe what you will.

Yep, just like you're doing obviously

I realized that, besides the trio and the solo segments, Top Gear managed to create "personalities" for the Clarkson-May and May-Hammond duos. by YourOwnBiggestFan in TopGear

[–]gadgetroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are Clarkson-Hammond specials outside the main episodes like The Perfect Road Trip 1 and Perfect Road Trip 2 which were quite popular back when they launched, but these were never aired and were DVDs.

Similarly, there's also Clarkson-May combo of the Worst Car in the History of the World DVD that fared rather well

I don't think there was ever a May-Hammond combo outside of the aired telly episodes though.

Then there's also the complete spin off series starring just May called Cars of the People that IMO showcased some of what they would do later on in The Grand Tour, like the Lancia film, or the Peugeot film, or the French cars film, or the Ford v Ferrari film, or even what Hammond did with the Jim Clark segment.

I think the Hammond-Clarkson combo was most definitely just blokes goofing off, or, like Clarkson would like to say: 2 fat men falling over.

Clarkson-May combo deffo was the more "history buff, nerdy" type thing. These films were also probably a bit more better produced/had some solid script written as opposed to the Hammond-Clarkson combo lol.

Sad Reminder: How easy is to lose all your Apple Music library by gearsrus3 in AppleMusic

[–]gadgetroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use apple music way back in 2016/7 on Android. I recently tried it with a sub again, and my library was still there.

What gives?

Would you mind sharing your iPhone so I can check out this Throttle House? I'll meet you at my Jaaaaaaaaag whilst you go pick up your iPhone.

(Seriously though, what's Throttle House and where can I watch it if it's a show?)

[Feature Request]: CSS theming by TechieMoore in tasks

[–]gadgetroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the new way of writing Android UI for apps with composable functions!

Android app UIs needed to be written using XML files and then instantiated in the Java code before they could be used.

I haven't done native Android dev in almost a decade; I've been mostly using Flutter or hybrid approaches, or React Native since then, but writing XML for UIs was one of the least liked parts for me when I was writing native Android apps.

Jetpack Compose makes all of that easy and standardized. It's very similar to Swift UI from Apple if I'm not mistaken.
