I think you're supposed to eat the burgers, but whatever floats your boat.

We've already got the Tour de France, so that's one sport down.

Some idiots even use it in Europe and Australia,

Maybe for some companies. For others the main draw card is push notifications and a big shiny icon for the product on your phone. Also, just FOMO when every other company has an app.

Not very well known, but Darcy Clay, a singer from New Zealand who only released a 6 track EP before taking his own life. His music reminds me a lot of early Beck. It would have been great to hear what he could have done.

Also My Red Cell, a Welsh (I think) punk band that released one album almost 20 years ago. I really liked them as a teenager, but they never took off.

Some places do hard rubbish collection like that, often on specific dates or through prior organisation.

Unless something happens to Max Red Bull are fine for the constructors championship. So long as Max keeps coming first, it doesn't matter what else happens, Red Bull are far enough in front that they'll win the WCC

That was last week, beans are dead old man, get over it already.

Due to time zones I almost never watch F1 live, but I just avoid places where the results may be discussed.

If we don't allow people to to discuss what happens in the race this space will die. Even banning spoilers from titles would be pretty bad, it would just lead to posts with useless titles like "Verstappen does thing in race"

I guess you would have times where the umpire doesn’t report but they seem to do it quite often already even in instances where a report is not necessary so I don’t feel like you’d miss too many cases.

That would cause the opposite issue then of players being removed when they shouldn't be.

Honestly it would be better if they missed cases and only sent off the most egregious examples. Umpire's jobs are already difficult and they often make mistakes because of that difficulty. An incorrect free kick is a lot less impactful than incorrectly sending a player off.

Would a sin bin/red card system even have worked this time? IIRC the umpires didn't award a free kick in this case, if something doesn't get a free kick surely it means the player involved wouldn't be sent off.

Not to say that a send off system shouldn't be implemented, but it seems an odd incident to use to discuss it.
