I've made a huge mistake.
Everywhere has cool megafauna until homo sapiens turned up and ruined the joint. Even North America also had a species of lion and cheetah (the latter may be related species or an example of convergent evolution). The second fastest land animal, the Pronghorn Antelope, may have evolved it's speed to avoid the american cheetah.

I also have a ninja air fryer. It’s very useful, I use it 1-2 times a week.

I've said this before but air fryers and instant pots became my "I like owls" in that my family seem to assume I collect them, so now I have three of each.

I use the air fryer max twice a day, kids may use it once as well.

One thing that I've been pondering on is how things would look if we took each race of this year's calendar and shuffled it. How would we feel about Abu Dhabi if it was somewhere in the middle?

I just think that, with all the talk being about consistency, it's a useful exercise to treat the race as though it were any race rather than getting tied up in the emotions of it being the championship decider.

The thing is that the race happened as it did because it was the last race. If it weren't a title decider, it would just have ended behind the safety car.

Kudos on that ith championship, Maxterisk "Not Really WDC" Verstappen. Maybe some day you'll win one that counts (like the 7 Lewis has).

I agree with a lot of sentiment on this. Seems odd that you can harangue a sports official to change their mind. It almost never happens in most other sports.

While they might not change the immediate call, players and coaches in both football and basketball are constantly haranguing the refs to try and influence the next call or get a makeup call.

Tom Brady can get late flags in his favor by complaining, but a ref will straight up tell a rookie he hasn't been around long enough to get that call, it's all bullshit.

Need to remove all human intervention in all sports officiating.

'Your call sucked, do better next time' is different to 'change this previous call' tho

I think the difference is huge personally. Although I agree that both suck

Would it surprise you to learn that there is a hipster market near me selling £10 artisanal hot dogs cooked on 1960s mini’s which have been turned into grills.

Abu Dhabi is one of the too many 'whatever' tracks, so it can go anywhere. But all seasons should end at Interlagos. :colbert:

Abu Dhabi notwithstanding (the outcome was at least understandable if not within the letter of the law), the biggest farce of the year was still Spa. Points being awarded for that nonsense was and is garbage.

Lewis WDC by removing all points from Spa.

Rotate through Monza, Imola and Mugello five or six times, with side trips to Melbourne, Spa, Suzuka and Interlagos. Maaaaybe also COTA, Baku and Monaco. But definitely not Silverstone.

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

Did the fans who went to the Spa race get any kid of refund or compensation? I found articles of f1 considering "options" but no follow up of anything happening.

I hope they wreck on the last lap and it is questionable but not enough for them to deduct points so max wins and all the Brits cry and dig through telemetry and frame by frame analysis all offseason.

Not quite as I hoped but even better as they’re all rules lawyers barristers now. I think one of my favorites was the rando popping in to say they hadn’t watched f1 in a while but the decision was “bollocks”. Fitting that the Brits are being salty since it’s the only spice they are aware of.

As Max is the FIA F1 World Champion he can run the #1 to signify he is the FIA F1 World Champion.
It hasn't been run in the previous years because Max is the first true #1 in many years.

The only reason people don't run #1 anymore is because it fucks with the branding and merchandising deals. Very brave of max to break the norm

It's good that he is respecting the tradition of the sport over his personal branding number, imo.
