No further action between the Verstappen and Hamilton incident

I'm honestly a bit surprised. Saying Lewis could have done more to avoid is irrelevant to if Max caused anything. Max was never going to make that corner at that speed. So long as Lewis wasn't weaving under braking, it is my understanding he can pretty much take the corner how he wants to. I'm not an encyclopedia for past incidents, but I think drivers have been penalized for behavior similar to what Max did in the past.

A different perspective on things

Standard drone/helicopter shots, sure. They have to use a wide angle and a huge distance to follow the car through a corner or two.
But this is a narrow angle with a fairly close distance to the car. I think there is a pretty good sense of speed here.

Music isn't what it used to be

Everybody always says modern pop music is terrible, your suffering from recency bias. Take a look at top 40s from 20 years ago. You'll probably see a bunch of songs you forgot about because they didn't stand the test of time. Old music isn't better, you just only still hear the good stuff.

How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years?

Reply in thread

Its funny how youtube has its circles. Tom scott is in the science youtube sphere, with Smarter Every Day (Destin), Technology Connections (Alec), Practical Engieneering(Grady), Stand Up Maths (Matt Parker), Steve Mould, Numberphile, Computerphile, and many, many others.

Tom Scott is Nice in this category as his videos are usually short, to the point, interesting, and weekly. He has some longer form content and game shows on other channels to. Overall if your interested in science and trivia game show youtube, he's worth a watch. His other channels are Technical Difficulties, lateralcast, and no longer used Matt and Tom.

No escape

Just big enough to almost fit your hand in. Better than a cat though (also Tirrel).

I also can't believe I didn't immediately recognize the artist.
