But piss tories normally get by on total anonymity Any of his constituents who actually know he has a side gig as an F1 pundit would be enough of a fan F1 that they might vote for him because of it. Keep an eye on F1 Reddit for people taking selfies of their ballots.

Do people think that the Miami Dolphins play in the bay? It's so unbelievably stupid. We all know you wanted to be on South Beach, but the city didn't buy in like Vegas did, so now we get Sochi 2. Of course we know the reason, construction contracts are where you launder your bribes in international sports.

I can only imagine the pitch to the room full of Europeans by the race organizers. They see that interest in the project is flagging, especially now that the water/bridge element is taken out. Realizing it's a bunch of rich out-of-touch Euros the organizer adds, "...and there will be yachts." The room erupts in cheers.

Apparently Mercedes is losing speed to their high ride height, which they have to do to prevent the porpoising getting even worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIT7q0pdMS4

That's why everyone hasn't just "fixed" their porpoising issues with a suspension adjustment. Maybe it's just particularly bad for Merc.

A ton of my friends back in Europe think of it as this party paradise like a US Ibiza but conveniently without the red faced brits vomiting in to the ocean and glassing each other. In a past life I worked as a travel agent and I was helping a British couple plan a stereotypical trip to America (NYC, Florida, Vegas). They wanted to stay on South Beach for 3 nights, which was done, then they wanted me to help them book a day trip to Disneyworld. Like one day. I had to break it to them that Orlando was 3-4 hours each way and strongly recommended they alter their plans. The worst part was that there were multiple bus/tour companies that facilitated this type of thing, meaning there was a substantial market of people doing this all the time. This happened ALL THE TIME. I helped a group of 3 British students who wanted to throw in a one-day visit to Yosemite when they were staying in LA. Another couple had set aside just one week for bicycling the entire circumference of Lake Michigan.

This was the one I didn't know so I googled it and got 307 miles, which I thought was just about doable if they're cyclists. Then I realised that was the length and it was 1600 miles. Yeah, good luck.

One thing I don’t understand are the rules on sim time. It limits cfd time right? How do they even verify a team only does a certain amount of finite element analysis. What’s to stop the team from just doing it in a back room and not telling anybody? All you need is a guy and a computer. What I’m saying is Mercedes should give me their cad files and access to a super computer and a fluent license and 1 million dollar and I too can tell them the mesh still isn’t fine enough to model the porpoising

When the movie became popular among rap culture from like 1994-on there was an idea from some dumbass exec to re-release the movie in "updated" form with all the New Wave replaced by then contemporary rap music (this was around 2001) but DePalma told them to go gently caress themselves. King.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:As a citizen of America, the greatest and largest country on Earth, I think this is hilarious I can't even pinpoint why it kept happening, especially with that saying (that's true) that Americans think 100 years is a long time, Europeans think 100 miles is a long way. Not to get into mapchat, but I honestly think it has something to do with Mercator projections. With Europe being so far north, everything is stretched so what looks big on the map is actually not that far, while America being further south is closer in scale to reality. I also think American tourism being run by the individual states distorts how much is actually doable in a short time. Like if you go to the California tourism website you'll see the Hotel Coronado on the same page as Big Sur pictures, but they're a day's drive apart. Anyway, Miami is an unredeemable swamp and F1 should go back to Watkins Glen. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Scarface is a terrible loving film, everyone remembers the chainsaw scene and the last shootout at the end but the movie is loving 3 hours long and crawls at a snails pace. The loving montage features him opening a hair salon for gently caress sakes.

I was born and raised in Florida. I hate it. Everything about it. I will never live there again and I will actually hold it against you if you choose to live there. I hold it against Formula 1 for having a race there and this is a sport that races in Saudi Arabia.
