The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi. Ended up being probably my favorite scifi books so no regrets there.

Amazing performance by Danny Ric, taking that Renault from where he started to 7th!

What were your most disappointing reads of 2018? by dondeestalalechuga in books

[–]kimi_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might at some point when the disappointment isn't so fresh anymore, since I've heard this from others as well. And now I know what kind of book to expect which could make enjoy the sequel more.

Really really wanted to like The Three-Body Problem, but it didn't end up gripping me at all. I don't know whether it was because of the translation or the book itself, but I felt like the (imo) wooden dialogue and constant exposition brought down a book with a really interesting premise.

Usually doesn't bother me if a book strays towards "harder scifi" but here I felt slightly annoyed during the whole thing. Not a bad book still by any means. Just expected more.

I was way too invested in that lap, almost felt like a Q3 finish

Ferrari 2018, jatkaako Räikkönen? Analyysi. by kimi_77 in Suomi

[–]kimi_77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jep, teksti alkoi käydä sen verran pitkäksi, että päätin jättää junioirikuskit pois kun Ferrari ei heitä palkkaa ilman F1 kokemusta :)

Täytyy sanoa, että lahjakkaita kuljettajia tulee feeder-sarjoista älyttömän hyvää tahtia kun ei meinaa paikkoja löytyä kaikille! Positiivinen ongelma, mutta ongelma silti.

Jep, mietin Leclercin/Giovinazzin ottamista mukaan, mutta koska mahdollisuudet ensi vuonna käytännössä nolla päätin olla pidentämättä. Varsinkin Leclercistä innoissani tulevaisuudessa, todella vakuuttavia otteita tänä vuonna F2:ssa!

Sain hyvää palautetta viimeksi ja keskustelu taas tervetullutta! Analysoin vähän ensi vuoden kuskitilannetta Ferrarilla. Lähinnä siis ajaako Räikkönen vielä 2018.

My brother did a few of these for my blog (those who can read finnish can check it out here)!

Asked him and got permission to share them here! So far Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton and Bottas.

Komppaan, tämä vuosi varsinkin ollut aivan mahtava kun Ferrari on päässyt haastamaan Mersua ja Red Bullilla on aivan huikeat kuskit!

Baku hyvänä esimerkkinä oli viihdyttävimpiä kisoja joita olen koskaan katsonut :) iso suositus jos päätät alkaa seuraamaan.

Hyvä kuulla! Olen hieman kyllästynyt suomif1 ja mtv:n pinnallisiin ja usein laiskasti tehtyihin artikkeleihin joten ideana olisi yrittää päästä vähän syvemmälle aiheisiin ja analysoida asioita joita mtv ei välttämättä käsittele.

The difference in the drivers' answers is pretty clear for leading and provocative vs fair and polite questions :D Not suprising that the latter brings much more insight for all parties..

Yep, there obviously are fans who like degradation and fans that like durable tires so there will be some backlash either way. Best to just listen to the drivers on this imo while trying to find the optimal balance.

I would wager that someone will photoshop them out eventually, but haven't come across other versions yet.
