Oval races are only really 50 laps long. The rest is just the setup. Those last fifty were a ride.

Mick Schumacher starts 4th.

Indycars on the oval starts at 8pm on Sky Sports Mix, if that's your thing.

Hang on, a person trying to get votes to get elected, doesn't need to convince people to vote for them? That kind of arrogance is exactly why a third of your country didn't vote for her, despite genocidal fascists were the other option.

It's a hard cross to bear, but I do what I can.

And I know you're trying to make the vague point that humans don't understand how consciousness works, so it could work like machine code. Except the difference is, humans know that they don't know, and it informs their thought process. Which computer programmes can't do.

Ok, I'll bite. Computing is, by definition a logical process. It has to have a logical progression from start to finish, defined by the rules outlined by its programming. It can only learn through analysis of datasets. Human consciousness is not bound by those constraints.

If Claude was conscious, it would be able to learn things through introspection.

We started playing 3-5-1-1, Trossard came off injured, we went to a back four, have two 16 year olds playing, and rested pretty much every one else. It's not been great from us, but there are reasons.

Also, big fan of the novelty socks.

This is the car I think of when I think of a 911. Just a wonderful shape.

I'm saying that the rules are stupid, not that they haven't applied the stupid rules correctly.

This is at the apex. Wharton is, at best 9 inches ahead. These rules are so anti racing.

If the FIA don't consider this sufficiently alongside, what are we even doing bothering to race?

Arsenal playing the last 5 minutes or so like they want a few weekends off later in the season.

Little from column A, little from column B. But also, isn't Cher supposed to be super fashionable?

I think Trossard, Martinelli, and Havertz are all sort of semi rotating.

That can't be right? Norgaard is playing left back?

Also, it's not a spec formula. It's an engineering formula just as much (maybe more) as it is a driving formula. Let's see who has the best engineers.

If you have Now TV, I think you can watch the session on demand. F1 YT channel has highlights on it as well.

For my non UK base followers, in 2002, Ian Huntley abducted and murdered two 11 year old girls, joined the manhunt for them when they went missing, and threatened to kill his then girlfriend if she didn't lie to the police and give him an alibi.

Ian Huntley died after getting stabbed.

There's a whole montage of them doing work to the car, so someone thought they wanted to see mechanics stuff. Also, it didn't happen off screen, because they later have a car issue, and only then check the sparkplugs because one is faulty.

It says locking up, or a steering correction doesn't mean that you're not in control of the car. Which if we're being technically correct is true, but it's mentioned in the context of racing incidents. At which point, if you lock up and make contact with another car, you're not in control.

It's the first race. They all pissed and moaned when we went turbo in 2014, and they pissed and moaned when we went to v8s in 200...6?, and they pissed and moaned when they got rid of turbos in 1990. All F1 drivers do is piss and moan. I would pay it no mind.

If it wasn't such a horrific situation, it would be funny that Iran's official political message is 'Do it, do it if you're bad'

Sorry, a hostility tsar who is anti-Muslim, or an anti-Muslim hostility tsar? It being Keith, it legitimately could be either.

I think both of them. Neither wanted to give an inch, and they wrote off two chassis. Wharton defended like an idiot at the previous turn, and should have given room at the next turn. There's enough overlap to not just block pass.

The incident in the F3 race was full on boneheaded. What were they thinking?

2x penalty. It's going well for them so far.
