Just never forget that Abu Dhabi's entire schtick is to make it THE place where championships are decided so they dump a fuckload of money to get their preferred spot on the calendar.

How did brazil get it every year then?

It's a gamble that the last race of the season is a championship decider vs. anytime earlier. See: Rosberg, 2016.

RANDOM FACT OF THE DAY: The last time Alonso stood on a podium was in 2014 for Ferrari in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Dude, just read this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/11/world/middleeast/dubai-crimes-united-arab-emirates-jail.html

That will eliminate any and all desire to go to that poo poo hole.

quote:

Most cases that ensnare unwary foreigners involve morality offenses. It is against the law to drink without a license, for instance, but foreigners can only get one if they are residents. So any tourist who is drinking is doing so illegally, even in a licensed bar. Couples cannot share a room together if they are not married, even in their homes.

When Emlyn Culverwell, a 29-year-old South African, took his fiancée, Iryna Nohal, a Ukrainian, to a doctor in Dubai, complaining of stomach pain, the diagnosis was pregnancy — and the treatment was a phone call to the police. The couple were arrested and jailed when they could not produce a marriage license.

Japan should be the last race. Both Suzuka and Interlagos are the iconic venues for the final GP of the year IMO.

I have a cast iron pan and I don't really know what to do with it. I put the gas hob on max and let the pan just chill there for a bit and throw a steak on it and everything goes wrong.
When's the next race?

Because I don't watch the races live, and barely follow between-race drama. I didn't even know Kyvat was out at STR until I was watching the USGP.

I bought a Phantek Enthoo Pro which does NOT have a window and thus hides all the LEDs that are built into my motherboard and 1080 Ti. Because I am an adult.

I uh i wrapped bungie cord around my disks so they wouldn't transmit vibrations through the case to the wooden floor.

It's actually working awesome and I'm super happy with this £10 ghetto solution :unsmith:

I've burned alot of money on dumb poo poo like insuring and running 3 30 year old cars at once and live in a condo I absolutely hate which is why I am firmly on the Corolla train now and exercise alot of financial discipline. Also parking downtown here costs a loving lot.

It's also worth noting that like two and a half years before that I spent alot of money buying a top of the line Asus laptop that the screen went on and I was pretty pissed about so I wanted to see just how much time I could get out of some lovely bargain basement business laptop.

My old 970 was more than enough for everything though, only got the 1080 because VR requires so much more.

Computers are boring these days because everything is great and doesn't need to be upgraded forever. No one is making bananas games like Crysis anymore.
