I literally gasped out loud and yelled out "OMG!" when that happened, not realizing Lando was one of the first over the line. But then the motorsports gods (aka Max himself) made sure RB got that P1.
I loved Lando's cheeky, "Max ruins for everything for everyone," in response to the interviewer mentioning Lando almost getting P1. I don't understand how people don't like Lando; I think he's hilarious. Obviously him and Max are good friends, too.
Excellent day for McLaren!
I didn't even consider him coming back just because he's no longer an RB guy at all.
But yeah, OK, I'd be down with Albon in the second RB seat.
Who would replace him? Yuki?
I know a lot of people are wishing for DR, but...is that really realistic?
I'm ready to be bored!
Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.
As an American, I greatly dislike the later times when races are on this side of the world. I don't mind waking up like 6,7,8am or whatever to watch a session. Or even staying up very late til like 4am. Even on Fridays for FP1 and FP2.
Idk, I like getting F1 "out of the way" so to speak, then I can do whatever else I need to do for rest of the day.
Like right now, it's 12:30p for me. That's not terrible since it's lunch time. But FP2 is at like 4pm; I tend to take a nap around then. If I was still working from the office, I'd be leaving the office around then.
Excited to see you guys on the Lemmyverse! The subreddit was always one of those places I could get lost in for hours. Now I can do it here!
Some of our leaders in the state love talking about small government and "governmental overreach." Wouldn't allowing counties and St. Louis the ability to regulate guns (not ban them) at that level be an exercise in small government and government-closest-to-the-people?
I know, I know. I'm thinking too logically.
It's crazy to think that a perfectly normal website, devoted to healthcare access, needs a "Quick Exit" button, as if it's porn or some flash game website from the the 2000s. I understand why it's necessary, but it's just sad.
Of course, the more depressing fact is that this site and service exists at all, especially in the US. The supposed Land of the Free.
I'm glad this and services like the "Auntie Network" exist, but they shouldn't have to.
This is impressive thus far. Keep up the good work!
For anyone who hasn't had any experience running a server of any kind, it can be a lot of work. I've run Minecraft servers for my friends, first on hosted services, and then out of my basement. For like 5-10 friends. There were times I was giving up my entire weekend to get the MC server updated, research, get plugins and mods working, speaking with support people, and attempting to fix it all when it broke. When we were using hosted solutions, we technically split the cost, but every month I still had to go around semi-begging for donations (we were a bunch of poor college students/new grads). When I started hosting out of my basement, I bought the computer to run it. It was inexpensive, but still money entirely out of my own pocket.
So I cannot imagine what it's like to run a public-facing service that has thousands of users. One that grew massively literally overnight.
I'm getting my 13yr badge in November. Idk. I don't think I'm deleting my account. I couldn't even muster up the willpower to delete my Twitter account that I've had since 2009, that I've barely used for the last several years.
So to delete my reddit account, that I use everyday -- except at least today and tomorrow; probably first time in several years, maybe even a decade -- feels wrong.
My goal, however, is to reduce my activity on reddit over time. Give up my remaining mod positions. Start unsubscribing from subreddits little by little. Maybe just use it for researching work related thing. So far, Beehaw/Lemmy and Tildes and Mastodon have been holding my attention pretty well. We'll see.
Idk. Checo is still 2nd in the WDC. If Checo was somewhere around like 10th in the WDC, I could possibly see it. Alonso in 3rd isn't far behind Perez, but AM seems to be in a slump of sorts at the moment. And Perez still managed a great result last week.
Even in the Constructors, RB is in no danger. RB has over double the points than 2nd place Mercedes.
Not sure if it's worth RB rocking the boat at the moment.
