Yeah I’m happy for them, but it sounds like someone in the 1% had a very 1% experience

Altogether an excellent race! Had strategy and surprises. Alex Palou & CGR are terrific at executing. Nice to see Herta and Rossi make the podium. Drive of the day runner up after Alex Palou might be Romain Grosjean. What a showing in JHR!
McLaren missing Theo right now
This yellow is not going to be good for Rossi. Damn you Ghiotto!
I never understand why Rosenqvist drops like a rock
A rare strategy mistake from CGR? The sharks are circling!
So nice to have non-Penskes at the front of the field!
Finally a clean start! I think the no pass line after turn 11 is paying dividends already
Yeah I lost a lot of respect for Tony Kanaan the last couple weeks. He even said that he told Theo how he had been on the receiving end of a lot of terrible moves in his career. Which to me said he basically thinks it’s ok to keep the cycle going.
Hey sounds like my Dad too!
Completely agree! Taiwan is a gem. One block of Jiufen (the village that inspired Spirited Away) is more “thematic” and memorable than all of the countries in Epcot combined.
What an insightful rundown. I worked at a company in CA with some disney fanatics. They were very much the target demo that you referred to above. Not sure their kids match the same level of fanaticism especially considering they will undoubtedly be poorer than their parents and weren’t on any trajectory to be able to afford the price gouging trends. With no capacity growth or significant competition (Six Flags is worse), Disney appreciates, as every corporation and landlord in America does, that limited supply means they can do less while making more. All it takes is for the top 2-5% income earning families to continue patronizing them at higher and higher price points and they’ll never need to adhere to the values that earned that loyalty over the course of 25 years.
I can’t agree more. Florida is awful.
Yes! Linux Mint is such a great project - it made me excited to get on my desktop again.
If it’s any comfort, it took me a few tries to get it to work. It was over a year ago so the details are a bit rusty. I started out trying to install Debian, and it also crashed during installation, so I went back and tried some of the bug fixes. (One was something to do with the MOK). Debian didn’t work after that but Ubuntu did. It was a strange experience, and there’s nothing that would motivate me to switch after I finally got it to work.
Perhaps you can give it another shot sometime and it’ll work. If you hate the custom arch that’s on it, and you don’t use it, you might as well try.
Mint 21.3 as my main Desktop OS - almost zero complaints after over a year. Everything just works.
Ubuntu using Linux-Surface on my old Surface Pro. Breathed new life into a device I had abandoned (after all 8gb of ram isn’t enough for Windows malware these days). Gnome works really nice on a touchscreen two-in-one. Kudos to the Linux-Surface folks. They took one of the few positive developments from Microsoft (Surface hardware) and made it possible to remove the worst part (windows). Not that I’ll ever buy a Surface again. It also allowed me to retire my iPad.
Fedora Linux on a cheap Dell laptop as my media client. Fedora is nice and runs well, haven’t done too much with it other than Firefox and Calibre. Nice to see a different ‘branch’ in action.
I’m pretty basic and generally lazy so I don’t delve into some of the smaller distros or distro hop. Maybe later I’ll do it with VMs, but eh not sure it’s my kind of hobby. Too many other things to do.
Best of luck and let us know how it goes.
Yeah I think JHR might be headed for an end-of-season demise…they’re not getting the sponsors needed to survive and their tepid response to the unruly behavior isn’t helping. I think Grosjean is about ready to wrap up his OWR career and shift his attention fully to Lamborghini GTP ride.
Sorry for the late arrival. Completely echoed all your sentiments! Marshall Pruett said it best - probably no other car could’ve made that pass into turn 3. I think Pato learned a lot today that will serve him well in the coming years.
Pato’s ability to connect with people, his authenticity, it’s palpable and such a positive force for good. It’s why I will continue to be his fan. (Also excited I got a signed Pato card in the Parkside collectible pack I ordered)
They also buy lots of guns from the US. This is one of the real reasons. Lockheed Martin’s profit margins would decrease by a significant amount if our relationship with SA changed at all.
Even if the Saudis and other major countries in the reason were able to decrease tensions with Iran, Lockheed Martin and its associated propagandists and lobbyists would start beating the war drums to increase tensions and thus sales.
Edit: *one of the real reasons. Added para. on LM ensuring tensions in the region always remain high even when the people that live there and their government’s reduce tensions.
This is why I avoid watching all commercials in America which inevitably take this trope to the extreme every chance they get. Usually referring to the man who is a doddering incompetent who must be ordered out of his “man cave” to perform some sort of yard or mechanical chore to prove his worth.
