Looks like a halfway decent track. Probably a tall ask to get it ready by 2030. I'm not sure if the money is secured yet. That would be my first question. Second question, and this isn't meant as hate but rather from a genuinely naive POV, can Rwanda construct that in 2-3 years? Third world construction isn't exactly known for meeting deadlines. Deadlines are more of a vague concept.

Either you're saying I work in infectious diseases or I work the door at a bar. Both are incorrect. I work in construction. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. My kind usually stays in two-star extended stay hotels.
We don't know the exact timeline of this woman. She could have tried to ride it out at home for a day. Even a half a day would increase the chances of death.

And don't discount rural Russian livers. They come out of the womb pickled. That could potentially complicate treatment.
If this is basic pneumonic plague, we're likely okay. We see occasional outbreaks of it. If it's modified, oh boy, buckle up. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing right now. Only a few Russians know for sure, and they're always truthful.

but the rules clearly state what is to happen.


Isn't there a rule that pretty much overrides every other rule saying the race director can use their discretion in the event of extraordinary circumstances?

quote:

The Clerk of the Course shall work in permanent consultation with the Race Director. The Race Director shall have overriding authority in the following matters and the clerk of the course may give orders in respect of them only with their express agreement:

a. The control of free practice, qualifying session, sprint qualifying session, sprint session and the Race, adherence to the timetable and, if they deem it necessary, the making of any proposal to the stewards to modify the timetable in accordance with the ISC or FIA F1 Regulations.

b. The stopping of any F1 Car in accordance with the ISC or FIA F1 Regulations.

c. The stopping of free practice, qualifying session or sprint qualifying session, suspension of a sprint session or suspension of the Race in accordance with the FIA F1 Regulations if they deem it unsafe to continue and ensuring that the correct restart procedure is carried out.

d. The starting procedure.

e. The use of the Safety Car.


I'm okay with an override in this instance if it was an FIA software issue. I'm not discounting your Gasly argument, but, like you said, the only thing consistent with the FIA is inconsistency. In the Malaysia case, they made the right decision.
Suddenly, the Toto/Russell memes have validity :lol:
It's the year 2026 and the most technologically advanced sports series on the planet has vibe coded PU's.

I do wonder if Russell's car doesn't give up the ghost if they go back green earlier.
That safety car period was way too long.

making it “white only” would have the same effect but oh no can’t do that


The problem is that keeps the good black people out. They still deserve a space free of trash. There's a much needed conversation on ghetto culture that needs to take place, but people get all worked up and label you a racist. BBG is in a tough spot. Going 30+ is a start, but I've seen Carnival Cruise videos of people over 30 going at it.

Last time I was in there was Mardi Gras last year, and it was pretty chill. Uptown parades were rolling, so maybe that siphoned off a lot of the crowd.

The track is filthy, a thick layer of dirt being kicked up


I think that's actually asphalt being kicked up :lol: This track is going to (hopefully) chew tires. Going to be a fun one for the engineers regarding car setup and downforce levels.

Do you have any qualms about going 75 mph?


No, but don't forget that the kinetic energy equation has velocity squared. Doubling speed quadruples energy. The difference in energy between 75 mph and 175 mph is 5.4x more energy.
I was always somewhat indifferent towards Ocon. Sometimes he came across cool. Other times he came across as an a-hole. I suppose that could just be the French in his blood. I was happy to see him get a win that one time. It's always fun to see someone in that sort of scenario. Like his dream came through and all the hard work was worth it sort of thing.

Looking back at picture of him on the top step, I see Vettel had second for AM (though he got DSQ'd for fuel samples). I don't remember that at all :lol: That was a crazy race with Bottas grosjean-ing everyone in T1. Then you had the infamous Hamilton-only starting grid.

I do! I think about the penalty I would pay for killing someone, and that is why I'm not a killer today. Believe me, there are many folks I killed in my mind!


What is the minimum threshold someone would have to meet to make you want to murder them? I need to know if you're a psychopath or not.
That's pretty insane he didn't die. Call me a pussy, but there's no way I'm going 175 mph without a helmet, hans device, 5-point harness, roll-cage, and fire suppression system. That's just too much kinetic energy to mess with for me. Humans are quite squishy.
What is the Italian tax situation they're referring to?

nope, said building costs are just insane now


Bought our house in 2015. Small, 1950's era house on an acre in the middle of the city. Nothing special. Added on this year, essentially doubling the size. It cost twice as much to add-on than it cost to buy the house 11 years ago. If you remove the value of the land, which is not insignificant, the equation gets even worse. It wasn't even a complex addition. Just extended out in one direction with mid-range materials/finishes. Building costs are indeed insane.

We could move closer to our existing house but with significantly more costs, we could move further out and away from the life we enjoy and but maintain current costs, or we could find the middle ground and add-on.

Respect for building all of that with a controller. As he said, it allowed him to escape the real-world pressures. I think most of us can relate.

That's because they enslave and/or eliminate their impediments.
The more I age, the more awesome it gets. I'm sure I'll hit the day of diminishing returns if I'm lucky enough to make it that far, but I quite enjoy how things are going.
