This Wikipedia page mentions this sci-fy-looking dike actually existed.

Why is it a dog?

My car is from 98 and I do all of these still today. The radio I just store it on the glove compartment so it doesn't melt with the heat but all the others are very necessary if your car is a 90's car that tuning folk would like to have for themselves.

Portugal's only billionaire might be Abramovich, who gained PT nationality through a very dubious program

Checkout Fairphone! Almost everything in the phone is easily replaceable by someone who is not even experienced with phone tech (like me). Fair support chain and right to repair without being mandatory. I love this phone.

Not relevant to this discussion but all "big" clubs in The Netherlands are red and white

I think we share the same view about the church and I don't know enough to contradict you on your words about about the pope but I just want to share that journals say he met with victims of sexual abuse by the church in Portugal. He also supposedly spoke about it in a mass: https://pt.euronews.com/2023/08/03/papa-encontra-se-com-vitimas-de-abusos-sexuais-na-igreja-em-portugal

The normal cut btw, not the long one mentioned in the title. In case someone, like me, thinks the long will be released in November. Not to downplay your comment though

Same for me. I'm on Android 13

Ahah, my bad. Sorry

I see the downvotes but you're actually right. The windshield is so I don't burn my hands on my wheel in the summer. I was too fast to write my comment.

Impressive! Thank you for the links

I don't see where I said the opposite

Overall I feel like most groups are quite balanced. Also there's quite some teams we're not used to seeing in the champions league. This might be a year of great european football.

I'm hoping Benfica improves defensively and wins the group. Our home game against Inter last year was the worst one we had all year.

Quali format can always change. It has changed in the past.

It seems to me this might be just a data sharing program, as to what I learned from the WEC community on reddit. McLaren used to use Toyota's wind tunnel which I think is in Cologne. McLaren might not be using that wind tunnel anymore and in return they take Rio as a reserve driver to still have some data shared between the two manufacturers.

And the link also mentions what I said in my comment. I was lazy and did not read it. My bad

I find this strange. Cadillac partners with Chip Ganassi and Action Express, two rivals of Andretti in the US racing scene, to run their LMDh in IMSA and WEC. Not even there they design their own car, the hybrid system is spec and the chassis is made by Dallara.

In contrast you have the LMH cars, also in WEC and running in the same category, where the whole car is created by the manufacturer (Toyota, Ferrari, Peugeot), much more expensive but still way cheaper than F1.

If not even in WEC they could commit to have their own design car, I find it strange they could create a whole F1 team out of nowhere. Maybe they would also like to partner with someone to design their F1 chassis like Haas does with Dallara?

There's your confirmation!

What does it mean to present a letter to the Government before UEFA? Like a UEFA governing body?
