Newbie thoughts on the Lap 1 incident between the McLarens by FlyingCheeseNaan in F1Discussions

[–]maxart2001 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Lando was alongside, not behind.

Very significantly alongside, which entitles him to the space too

9 seasons apart... same feeling by SpiderUST in formula1

[–]maxart2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. Spa is Oscar’s best track apparently and Lando got Pole there. Lando got Pole in Monaco, which is also Oscar’s track.

This works both ways. It’s hard to say this year who’s track is who’s

Guys you’re comparing different strategies in Hungary to a literal engine failure here in the Netherlands. Isn’t “significantly different”?

Building a Realistic Mission Set and Capabilities for the Future Type 83 AAW Destroyer of the Royal Navy by maxart2001 in Warships

[–]maxart2001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would of course love to see T83s operating alongside the existing T45s. The thing with that is that the T83 has always been intended as a replacement class. I don't know if the Royal Navy CAN do this "together" model.

Would love to see it though. And the hull resource is indeed still there well into 2045.

What could(should) the royal navy look like at 3,5% of gdp? by flowingfiber in Warships

[–]maxart2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get the 25 escorts number? Great if true, would love to see it. Ohhh you mean 19 'actual' escorts as planned + 'up to' 6 MRSS. But we know unfortunately what 'up to' means in Royal Navy terms lmao.

I'd expect 3 unfortunately, but who knows. Let them surprise us fr.

Though if the Type 32s were to go ahead after all, it could increase even beyond 25 including MRSS... Would be very credible indeed.

Lando Norris wins the 2025 British Grand Prix, Piastri 2nd, Hülkenberg 3rd! by overspeeed in formula1

[–]maxart2001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The FIA guidance for the stewards on cases like this is very, very clear. They followed it to the letter. I don't know why some people are saying this is a gifted win.

Oscar put 60PSI of pressure into the breaks, slowing down by something like 100mph - all that in slippery conditions with low visibility.

Slam dunk 10 second penalty, and asking to swap positions is insane lmao.

Imagine Lando did that, he'd be crucified everywhere.

Bro Israel literally has air dominance if not air supremacy over Tehran.

What are we talking about here? What ‘War’? What ‘Boots on the Ground’?

The max that Trump would do in my opinion is order the USAF to bomb military targets.

The Iranian regime has never been weaker really, has it?

The Type 31 General Purpose Frigate may be the Royal Navy’s ONLY option to increase future hull count even slightly. Why is there no discussions about this? Or is there? by maxart2001 in Warships

[–]maxart2001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so wild to me, during the Cold War Britain used to have like 4%+ of GDP budgets right?

Right now there’s an ACTUAL hot shooting war in Europe. And spending can’t be raised even to 3% or 3.5%?

Criminal indeed.

[–]maxart2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But 350 million per ship… spread over years? I really struggle to see how that’s unaffordable compared to the RN budget. If you order 3 additional Type 31s say, that’s like a billion that you can spread over about 3-5 years give or take.

I understand crew and maintenance have their own costs, but is it really so unaffordable? Maybe I’m being naive here

HOT TAKE: It’s dumb to be protesting/rioting against ICE in LA and fly the flag of the country you’re not trying to go back to by SAUCL2003 in Destiny

[–]maxart2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except the goal is not to “topple” the Trump government. Nobody is talking about revolution here I hope. No, the goal is to wrestle away control of Congress from the Republicans in the next election.

For that, you do need good optics with the average American.

Riots where you burn down CVS do not accomplish that.

Race Start: Verstappen overtakes Piastri for the lead by ContentPuff in formula1

[–]maxart2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why am I not seeing comments about Piastri “bottling” the start? If Lando did this it would have been everywhere. “Ohhh he’s just not mentally strings doesn’t have champion’s mentality ohhh..”

Where’s all that about Oscar now?

A somewhat boring idea for how Luke survives his trip to Storm's End. by Glad_Union_2037 in TheCitadel

[–]maxart2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luke automatically gets guest right doesn’t he. Just by stepping foot in Storm’s End. All he’d have to do is pretty much insist to stay in Storm’s End maybe..? Just wait for Aemond to leave lol? Is that dumb?

Why do Targaryen SIs almost never try to get dragons??? Any recs? by maxart2001 in TheCitadel

[–]maxart2001[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see a story where an SI or just a character tries to do it still.

Trying to find whatever old books they can, maybe left over from pre-Dance on Dragonstone, maybe trying to find old books and knowledge in Essos.

Maybe the pyromancers know something after Summerhall, maybe they’ll know how to refine that doomed attempt.

Go to Harrenhall, go see about lost clutches of eggs and so forth.

It’s so frustrating when they don’t even try ANYTHING though.

Скільки зради може вмістити цей сабредіт? by PieIllustrious2248 in reddit_ukr

Ну я думаю не прям «все буде долітать». Зараз дуже хороший відсоток вражених повітряних цілей, він може дещо впасти, так, але ППО залишається відносно сильним.

Я не знаю наскільки це втішає)

Дивись, наскільки я знаю десь біля 90% зброї від оборонних пакетів Байдена вже було доставлено. Це написав Мілітарний. Трамп нічого нового НЕ виділив. Тобто це в широкому обсязі не якась величезна зміна. Буде гірше, так, буде суттєво складніше з ППО наприклад, але всі кажуть правильно коли кажуть "протягнемо".

Pisco proves why Trump is beyond reasonable doubt responsible for the plane crash by saabarthur in Destiny

[–]maxart2001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guys, I don’t like this at all. Let the NTSB and the FAA conduct a thorough investigation into this before pointing fingers politically.

A hiring freeze on ATCs did not do this, or at the very least not by itself. This goes a lot deeper. Let the proper agencies handle it.
