  • F1TV international feed with Palmer etc. I know they're not the most neutral and I don't expect them to be. I just enjoy the hype they're good at bringing. But I do think many people let their opinion on the race be influenced by them. (Just like if you watch MMA you'll be influenced by the often very dumb opinion of Rogan).

    I'm Flemish, so the accent of any Dutch person grates too much for me. ;-) ('g' doesn't have to sound like a failed gear change every damn word ;-) )

  • The 5s penalty does almost nothing for anyone. It's way too low a penalty for anything. Regardless of how good your car is. It's only annoying if you got lucky earlier with a car where you're actually out of position where your car should be.

  • Fair enough, I do listen to the British commentators since they are just more pleasant to listen to vocally for me than the Dutch speaking ones. But their commentating is just always anti-Verstappen. Yet even they ceded after the replay of the incident that Piastri is lucky he just barely got control of his car in time.

  • Did you see that replay on the international feed just now? Piastri was going to divebomb force contact if he didn't go off. I think both their behaviours are fair play to try in racing, but saying this is classic unsportsmanlike behaviour seems like you're being influenced too much by British commentators.

    It was literally the other way around with Hamilton in Monza but somehow both situations were his fault? He is ofcourse a driver that will race on the edge of the rules so of he gets punished for something he'll force others into it.

  • While I agree he should have given it back, Piastri also either steered into him/lost control and went deep into the corner further than a normal racing line. So curious what the stewards would think.

    Edit: 5 penalty seconds for this, if you think it's penalty worthy, remains stupid. It should always be at least 10.

  • I do wonder how accurate these are but they're crazy fun. Seeing the difference in how aggressively Max takes the corners and very often the full curbs is super interesting. It does make me realise that the McLaren is again the fastest race car, so if Piastri can get ahead he'll drive off into the sunset.

  • Libro.fm technically can but trying to buy on it instead of using codes J got through Kickstarter literally got mg Visa blocked. So personally I need to time the next time I actually try to buy from them.

    The seem to have a large library, and for example carry all four Annihilation/Southern Reach books, which Audible doesn't.

    Bug on the other hand remember to download the books you have on Audible with Libation. Too make your eventual change easier and less painful.

  • But why are you looking at an F1 community if you don't want to know anything about the race that happened up to half a day ago? I don't watch every race live but I just don't look at Lemmy or other sports news. Works perfectly well and nobody needs to tip toe around my lack of self control.

  • I do feel sad for Gasly, but I am a Verstappen fan, so anything that makes it easier for him to win a fifth WDC in hard circumstances is something I like. And with this RB car you know it's not evident.

    Opinie: Cargill is de onzichtbare reus achter een vernietigend industrieel voedselsysteem

    De crisis in de landbouw is het gevolg van een businessmodel waarin enkele multinationals boeren én natuur in een wurggreep houden, schrijven verschillende wetenschappers in een gezamenlijk opiniestuk. Ze roepen op tot een transparanter beleid dat níét gericht is op winst en speculatie.

    Scholen krijgen nieuwe mogelijkheden om het lerarentekort aan te pakken, er komen premies voor wie een opleiding voor een knelpuntberoep volgt en ook korte celstraffen zullen daadwerkelijk worden uitgevoerd. Een overzicht van wat er allemaal verandert vanaf 1 september.

    High energy prices direct us to lowest energy usage since 1995

    Interesting to see it really seems like everyone across the board used less and less energy.

    What did you all change? Any specific tools or tricks?

    Personally I didn't even change my heating level but just used the timers a lot more with sharper cutoffs. And I did use smart plugs between my media appliances and my pc to make sure they are off when I leave the house, as well as being less casual about turning off the lights in rooms that I'm not in. Compared to 2019 (so before more WFH) that's like a 20% savings on gas, and 15% on electricity for me.

    Fryday Friday

    It's friday already so let's start discussing something that hasn't been done here and discuss a couple of important questions. (or whatever else you want it's the chat topic after all)

    • What day is the correct day to eat fries from the frituur and why is it friday.
    • What do you order at the frituur?
    • Why are people who use frikandel weird and people who say lange hamburger clinically insane? Civilized folk use curryworst after all.

    Do I push through the main quest or complete a lot of sidequests in D4

    I know it's most likely a beginner question but it's what I am I suppose.

    For extra context, I generally have about 6-10 hours to spend to game per week and I find I do enjoy the main quest but after spending a couple days only doing that it feels like I'm missing out by ignoring some of the side quests.

    I only have 1 charachter so far and it's lvl35 at around the start of ACT2.

    Will I lose out on powerlevel if I just try to get through the main quest first for now and look into doing sidequests afterwards? Am I making my life harder if I do sidequests first?

    Right now I think I would like to be able to participate in the seasonal with a new class to try out, since it is still an expensive game and I want to feel like I experience more than just one class.

    What are you going to see and what gem do you recommend?
