Man, I am so excited to see Lando and the updated McLaren have a great weekend. It looks to have us potentially in the mix with Merc and AM. Psyched to see Oscar get the new car next weekend too.

I'm from the US. While I have travelled to locales where they are commonplace, I never actually tried one. When lockdown and the tp crisis started, however, I purchased one online. I now hate having to use any lavatory that doesn't have a bidet.

Q - Doesn't it feel weird? A - No. Some people are worried that it may feel sexual. It doesn't. It's just a localized shower on your ass, which is something you hopefully do regularly.

Q - Won't it just push detritus away from the epicenter and make a mess? A - It can, if the bidet has narrow spray. Mine does this. Just do a quick shimmy that makes the jet draw a decreasing radius spiral.

Q - Doesn't everything get wet? A - Some bidets have air dryers, but in the absence of, yes. Keep tp in the lav to address this. The quick wipe to address this still saves a ton of tp.

Good. Fuck that guy and his moronic simps. It's embarrassing enough having that be one of the GT America liveries, let's keep it out of F1.

Had one of their fridges a while back with their proprietary compressor design. It kicked the bucket at about 2-3 years old. All appliance repair shops that I contacted in my area, including an LG-certified one, declined repairs. Most of them even immediately asked if it was an LG when I asked if they did compressor replacements to head me off at the pass. It was a good product while it worked, but that's only half the equation.

What a time to be a papaya simp! Terrific turnaround from the beginning of the season to now.

Gratz to Max and RB I guess. Checo though...yikes

I should clarify that I live in a remote area where a lot of people are homophobes. Anything directed towards one's ass is, as the kids would say, sus af to these folks.

My orange pirate boi says hi!

Stay strapped!

Absolutely awful. I love historic circuits and am in favor of keeping them on the various motorsport calendars, but there needs to be a roundtable on what can be done to improve safety on this section of track.

You're either trolling or are critically stupid, but I'll bite. Concepts of and discussions about monotheism, the capabilities of deities, and the relationships between humans and their deities predated the birth of Jesus. Shocking, I know. There is no contemporary evidence that Epicurus said or wrote this quote - rather, it seems that it was an attempt to boil down some of his thoughts that was eventually written in English by Hume, who likely would have anglicized the word for a monotheistic deity as 'god'.

I'm a papaya simp, but Oscar and Lando were running consecutively when all this kicked off and I agree with the stewards on this. Let's look at the data.

Gap when sector 2 caution was flown: 2.9s

Gap when safety car was called: 2.8s

Gap when arriving at pits: 7.3s

At the beginning of that lap, Lando was instructed on the radio to give 100% pace. They were in the lap window for the first of a two stop strategy, and that direction usually means that pitting is imminent. A safety car in that timeframe is a literal no-brainer for a stop.

Lando asserts that the team did not direct him to box until he was most of the way down Casino. That's technically true. However, when Lando was at the exit of turn ten, he received the radio message "Lando, safety car, safety car, you are the second car, you are the second car. Oscar 3."

Lando already knew that Oscar was the car ahead. He had overtaken Nico at the tail end of the previous lap, and even if he forgot that his teammate was the preceding car to do that, they were accordioned in 10. Once both cars were on Casino, Oscar accelerated off at a pace sufficient to cause the car to scrape down the track. Lando was on-off throttle and was weaving around.

This can only leave us with the obvious, which is that Lando received and acted upon tacit instruction to build a gap between him and Oscar to allow for the double stack.

The fuel nozzle is a completely mechanical implement - there's nothing electronic about it, and the pump has no idea whether you are manipulating the trigger or using the hold-open.

Because it's mechanical, however, the way the hold-open is designed needs to allow for further actuation of the trigger mechanism to free up the hold-open lever when your tank is full. Because of this, the highest setting on the hold-open is less than the full actuation of the trigger mechanism.

Echoing a big thanks to everyone here. I've been on other platforms since the mid 2000s, and this is the first time in a very long time that I've felt that this is the start (obviously not downplaying the efforts of users of Lemmy before...things...happened elsewhere) of something special. That being said, this is not a "mission accomplished" moment - we all have to work together to keep this going. A lot of us are recently coming from a platform where the sheer mass of thousands of users online simultaneously was keeping a reasonable flow of content coming. Keep posting first and third party content, keep asking questions, keep fomenting discussion, and keep being nice and welcoming!

Virginia has toesies AND booba, can we get our own category

Definitely, it's honestly kinda baffling from Sainz and Ferrari (although maybe it shouldn't be) that in such a bunched-up session neither demonstrated any awareness of the positional situation

Is tv direction aware that there is quali going on

edit - thank goodness we got to watch stroll, I was worried we might miss something of consequence

double edit - so gonna investigate max or...?

triple edit - holy cow what a lap from kimi

Don't have to brush your teeth if meth made them all fall out lol

If you want to be really really confused, read what the stewards said about it.

"We applied the Driving Standards Guidelines as a guide to determine who had the right to the corner. Applying those guidelines, it is clear that LAW was well ahead of DOO at the apex of the corner and was entitled to use the full track at the exit.

DOO should therefore have given LAW sufficient room to overtake and his failure to do so resulted in a minor collision. As the resulting collision was minor, we took no further action."

Woohoo! Papaya party in Q3! Shocking for Charles and Checo. Can we have changing conditions quali every weekend lol

Oh no Oscar ;_;
