Thread curse number 2: If enough worst thread posters don’t watch a race then that race won’t be bad.

When I was a child my mother exclusively drove various OP ford Cosworths to their deaths. Once got “chased” 10 miles through a moor in the late 80s because a pack of boy racers thought she was racing them, she only “escaped” when she pulled into the bakewell police station car park at about 90mph.

Nice one Carth Dookie, I got third place, iirc I set my picks just after the summer break and didn’t change anything - what failed me was my over optimism in Ricciado’s ability to finish a race.

Minicurve is going to be in the papers because she’s currently being headhunted by several major engineering firms, and the RAF, at 14. She’s currently researching who at NASA and formula 1 to send the article to.

Assuming her engineering skills are fine, have you seen her interact with her peers and authorities at school? Does she know how to maneuver in complicated adversarial social hierarchies? To play off the ambitions and fears of others without their understanding? To manipulate and control for personal gain and advancement? Then send that CV to Scuderia Ferrari

Also, tourbillons are worthless crap unless it's a gyrotourbillon

She does seem to be able to convince all around her into doing everything she wants to do, she has to ‘win” at everything, her PowerPoint presentations must be the BEST, her test scores must be perfect, she throws her toys out the pram if she loses, and she tries to manipulate the rules in every game she plays.

I have a fun fact for you.

Beagle 2 was found on mars in 2015, it had done everything it was supposed to do, landed where it should have done safely, collected data perfectly, and then when it went to transmit and phone home it couldn’t because one of the petals on the solar panel failed to open properly.

Guess who made those panels?

it was McLaren

Reddit is full of corporate advertising, peadophiles, incels, men’s rights activists, racism, right wing nut jobs, a super serious and heavily used pro-trump board, rapists, people who identify as “gamers” and Max Verstappen fans.

Did have a Chinese crested powderpuff for years and she would go for anyone who wasn’t me or the children if they got too close to us. - to be fair she did give warning it’s just that she was so tiny no one took her seriously until after they picked her up and found her teeth sinking in.

Major U.K. airport has been shut down because someone with drones has worked out how to bypass the jammers and avoid the helicopters and snipers. Military has been called in, only flaw in this plan is that the drones only show up when the runways are reopened.

Drone wars update, they just taxied an easyJet down the runway as bait.

The jamming thing is notable because drones will turn round and go home or crash if they are jammed and these ones are not doing so.
